#SWORD ART ONLINE SERIES#

It's easily worth an 8.ģ) Sound - Again fantastic. Colorful characters, bosses (the few we see), and settings are all here. I think I'm being pretty generous with a 4 here.Ģ) Art - The art is fantastic. Oh yeh deus ex machina finale here too.oh and there's an incest subplot.for some reason. Our hero must save the princess in the castle.

This part of the series probably deserves the award for most unnecessary story in the history of anime.

Without going into spoilers, the 2nd part of the series takes place in a different setting, with a mostly new cast aside from our main hero. So that concludes my issues with season 1, which the majority of SAO fans consider to be the best part.Yeh you heard me, the 2nd part is even worse. This isn't a fantasy world, it's a freaking video game, you can't have miracles here. Even the finale of the first season makes absolutely no sense. Well what about the other episodes you ask? The remaining 'plot' episodes are filled with deus ex machina in its purest form. So there you have it over half of first part of the story has nothing to do with the overall plot. The series wastes another 2 1/2 episodes on pointless filler garbage. So due to some illogical reason, we're now down to 7 episodes to tell the rest of this story. What follows are 5 completely irrelevant side character episodes and unnecessary terrible time skips that ruin any sense of a story the first 2 episodes set up. I mean with 2 episodes that are amazing, surely what follows will be more of the adventures of the main characters and these mmo boss fights.right? Wrong. You're introduced to the main characters and it shows mmo style of play. The first 2 episodes are honestly pretty good and set up the plot of the show that should follow. This review will go into details as to my opinions on why I feel this way.ġ) Story - This is first major problem is the show. Whether people want to overlook it or not is up to the individual, but I believe it fails at the fundamentals for writing a good story.

Sword Art Online is more or less the equivalent of a fanfiction in it's writing and quality. Since I've seen a plethora of scores of 10 for this show, I thought I'd write what I feel is a more realistic review for this show. But with difficult bosses and threatening dark cults impeding his progress, Kirito finds that such tasks are much easier said than done. Teaming up with Asuna Yuuki and other talented players, Kirito makes an effort to face the seemingly insurmountable trials head-on. While Kazuto 'Kirito' Kirigaya was fortunate enough to be a beta-tester for the game, he quickly finds that despite his advantages, he cannot overcome SAO's challenges alone. Adding to the struggle, any in-game death becomes permanent, ending the player's life in the real world. The 'log-out' function has been removed, with the only method of escape involving beating all of Aincrad's one hundred increasingly difficult levels. However, the idyllic fantasy rapidly becomes a brutal nightmare when SAO's creator traps thousands of players inside the game. With the release of this worldwide sensation, gaming has never felt more lifelike. Sword Art Online (SAO), one of the most recent games on the console, offers a gateway into the wondrous world of Aincrad, a vivid, medieval landscape where users can do anything within the limits of imagination. Ever since the release of the innovative NerveGear, gamers from all around the globe have been given the opportunity to experience a completely immersive virtual reality.
