SAO was alright in its first season which led me to like it, but the rapey, incestuous second arc and the utterly boring tripe after that showed me how shit the show was as a whole. I don't really have a problem with harem anime if they're interesting or done well (tongue in cheek and acknowledging what the show itself is) and the first season did some interesting stuff like that as it essentially was a harem anime for most of season 1.
I'm mostly responding to what was said previously to build on it since yeah, SAO has its problems and it sucks overall as an anime and just as a piece of media, but the first season has some strengths to it which is why it's such a strong show (even with so many shitty seasons afterwards). Plenty of people willing to look past the flaws of something because of that.
I'm currently watching Little Witch Academia finally. It's so nice and makes me feel good.
