Sword Art Online Abridged

Sword Art Online Abridged is, as its name suggests, The Abridged Series of Sword Art Online, created by Something Witty Entertainment.

We all know the story by this point: a guy called Akihiko Kayaba made a game called Sword Art Online, and traps everyone in the game. They cannot log out, and if they die in the game they die in real life. Kirito ("xVx_K1r1t0_xVx_KillMe" in the Alfheim arc) is one of the players, and rose to the top. Unlike the show's version of Kirito, though, this Kirito is a lot less sane, doing whatever he wants to, and is the biggest arsehole around. Arson is a common occurrence in the world of Sword Art Online Abridged. Asuna isn't much better either.

Despite being a parody, the abridged series still injects emotional moments here and there, sometimes altering the dialogue to add emotions to existing scenes. Episode 17 of the series replaced what is usually an incest confession scene with a genuine brother-sister argument.

Check it out on YouTube, although keep in mind the first episode is age restricted.

"''The patient displays classic narcissistic and borderline sociopathic behaviour, especially when engaging with her brother, Kazuto Kirigaya (aka Kirito aka xVx_K1r1t0_xVx_KillMe aka Daddy). This appears to stem from deeply held feelings of resentment, as well as internalised self-hatred regarding her own femininity, most likely originating from an as-yet-unknown event in the siblings' early childhood. The lifelong repression of these feelings seems to have bled into her other relationships as well, causing her to lash out at those she perceives to be weaker than herself. This behaviour is most evident when interacting with her "friend" Recon, who she CLEARLY has romantic feelings for, yet takes every opportunity to belittle and and keep at an emotional distance, even though we can all tell what's going on and she should just admit she likes him and treat that poor, sweet, boy with the love and compassion he deserves! In short, I believe someone or something caused her to view any display of more traditionally feminine traits as something to be ashamed of, and seems to lay the blame solely on her brother. As for why this is the case, further investigation shall be needed.""
 * Fix Fic: The first couple of episodes start out as a parody of the series, but it slowly starts addressing issues from the show.
 * The creators revamped the reason why Kayaba traps everyone in the game.
 * The entire Suguha Kazuto incest arc is scrapped, instead replaced with a sibling conflict.
 * In the Alfheim arc, Asuna isn't trapped with everyone else; everyone is trapped with Asuna.
 * Freeze-Frame Bonus: Something Witty Entertainment sometimes alters the background of scenes, to add extra text.
 * After Kirito gets thrown away due to him accidentally touching Asuna's boobs, you get a popup that says "Distance: 15m / New Record!", instead of "Immortal Object" in the original show.
 * In episode 15, Yui's diagnose of Leafa has a surprisingly detailed psychological profile, which reads roughly as follows:
