Actually, I think ALO is going to piss a lot of people off. I'm sure most of them expect the whole series to be set in SAO -- if they know how long the book series is, they'll probably expect the characters to still be trapped in Aincrad at the end of the anime. And on top of that, a lot of comments here and on ANN have focused on how unique the death-game idea is and how it sets the show apart from .hack//. So for SAO to end halfway through the anime and Kirito to go on to a rescue-the-girl plot that's right out of .hack// -- there will be rage.
