It'll be interesting to see the reactions when people realize the series is actually far on the optimistic side of the sliding scale of idealism vs. cynicism.

Indeed! I was surprised to see people were guessing that only some 100 or 50 players would survive the game this morning. Hah. They're in for a surprise or two. It may be enough for some people to begin to genuinely hate the series. :/
I can't wait to see how people will react to some of the more peaceful moments in the anime (Asuna cooking Kirito the meal, their married days, etc).
