Sword Art Online Taboo

So after watching SAO (Sword Art Online) I was left with an odd feeling. My brain was telling me that the relationship Suguha was trying to develop with Kirito was pretty unnecessary. And what killed me was the fact that she sknew she shouldn't be in love with him. I mean goodness, if you know that what you're doing is bad - don't do it. Very easy.

My main question is why the author and producers felt it necessary for Kirito and Suguha to have/ mention this kind of taboo relationship.


I don't particularly mind when authors bring those kinds of themes into a story since it keeps the plot line interesting. For example, the twincest that occured in Ouran High School Host Club was tasteful and gave quite a bit of fan service.


But I do mind when an several shows decide to include this theme. Aniplex is slacking. I know they can come up with more creative ideas. At least I hope they can...

This is an Otaku Story.
