Well, for most people the whole Kayaba scene is the greatest DME in anime history, at least it seems like that to me, which automatically lowers their opinion quite drastically.
On the other hand we have Sugou, who is for once a villian without a 2h backstory that leads into at least a positive understanding of his actions but instead a villian who is just a villian without any greater motive apart from being evil.
Well even as LN reader and sb, who likes the LN series quite a bit, I simply have to admit that the ALO arc is imo by far the worst arc of the series (btw that doesn't mean it's horrible or anything; it just can't really compare to the other arcs).

I didn't cry, but it was indeed a great watch. I think the only issue I might have with it is that it rings a bit hollow for me to have Kirito, and the narrative itself, treat Kayaba as though he's worth a damn. I'm normally a forgiving person, but... no, Kirito, you shouldn't act buddy-buddy or speak with reverence about someone who indirectly murdered two thousand innocent people. Kayaba's an interesting person, no doubt, but Sword Art Online's death trap nature cemented his status as a piece of crap, and he shouldn't be treated as anything but.

Yep, have to agree with you but imo he simply didn't care for that in the moment as Kayaba saved his a** this time. We'll see if he judges Kayaba harder next week when things have calmed down a bit...
