Sword Art Online

Someone really need to fix that synopsis... Kirito is not a genius programmer. His only a normal junior high school student who is addicted to MMORPG. Sure it is mentioned that he has good knowledge of computer and programming but that doesn't make him a genius. -.- The only "genius programmer" in there is the antagonist Kayaba Akihiko. Argh I don't know but that "genius programmer" part bugs me and I think it's misleading to others who did not read the light novel yet.

True, it seems that whoever wrote ANN's synopsis got some things mixed up. "Genius programmer" is indeed mentioned on Dengeki Bunko's page for the novel - dengekibunko.dengeki.com/newwork/bank_0904b.php - but they say that about Akihiko.
So thankie, fixed :)

Been reading the manga, pretty good I say. Can't wait for the anime.

@ Jozie
You need to read the Light Novel

Thats the link to BT read volume 1 and 2 and the Aria SS and you'll think its even better

@ Shiki
It is not wrong with the synopsis, he is a really good programmer who have a good sense with computers (kirito that is), Kayaba Akihito on the other hand is a genius within quantum physics, stop messing up the facts :)

@ Stokky
If it says that Akihiko is the genius programmer, it have to be wrong since the only thing I've read about him is that he is a genius within quantum physics and Kirito looks up to him in the beginning because he made the Nerve gear and owned a big part of the company that made SAO (Or maybe he helped make that too, have to check up on that).

P.S. After they came out of SAO and ALO, Kirito started working on programming a new system which made it possible to see from inside VR what happend IRL with a camera and stuff (don't know how it worked exactly).

@ForOne:
I am not messing with the facts. Kirito is good at programming but his not a "genius". The one they referred to based on the synopsis was Akihiko and he was the designer of SAO and the Nerve Gear. Sure it said that his a genius in quantum physics and Kirito did look up to him. But this doesn't mean the synopsis was right for saying Kirito was a genius. The novel never mentioned that he was but only said he was skilled with computers in general and could built one from scrap pieces. The camera you are referring to must be the one in volume 7 and volume 8's Caliber SS. Well that was something he and his classmates learned to do at school...Meaning probably all his classmates knew how to do that since a couple of them were helping him set it up for Yuuki (v07).

Anyone who read the novel would know that the synopsis they had from AN was wrong. It was also discussed on MAL. I don't think anyone should just call Kirito a genius without any solid proof from the novels. Having a good insight about programming doesn't make one genius.

I gotta agree. Kazuto just kinda fell into computers and through experience and fast learning became adept at them and over time as he gained experience became knowledgable about them and you expect it from someone learning about it since childhood. He became kind of a loner though. basically a computer Otaku. Not Genius level but definitely in tje upper ranges.
