Then that statement was stupid to begin with. That would mean by extension that everything Sony has ever touched is shit because of that one movie.

No, I simply said "After that smiley movie, I'll write this under bad news". And it refers to animations as is the common aspect between a company  such as Funnimation and the Smiley movie. Now I obviously ruffle some of your feathers. Well, I accept that it was a bit of an unfair assessment and that Sony's animated history is not all bad, there is some good and thats obvious given that persons with good taste like you like some of their stuff. Though, you did mentioned SA:O and that's conscerning. Regardless Smiley is still the newest and most relevant proyect and a black mark that will stay forever.

SAO is a good and high quality show that has a massive fanbase. What you or I think about it or parts of it is irrelevant. It is objectively a good anime. "Good" btw is in my defintion between 6-8. Before the second part of the first season and when it was suddenly the cool thing to hate it, it was considered a great anime. And nowadays it's just cool to hate it by people who have no idea about anime.

Connecting Sony's Animation business with Sony's Anime business is clearly a mistake since they have nothing to do with each other. You might as well connect Sony's Playstation and camera business.
