Review of Sword Art Online
Story:(2) The settings is quite interesting.Ten-thousand people get locked in a death game.But that's all I can say. There are some useless filler episodes,where it's just Kirito looking for girls to add to his harem.And they ALL fall in love with him within a day of even knowing him.They act all cute together till Kirito finds Asuna and never sees them again.After a couple of episodes,the series got kinda boring. I don't normally speed up anime,but SAO was just too boring.I want to see boss fights and Kirito analysing battle tactics,not hitting up some cute waifus. The 2nd arc of the story was basically Fairy Art Online,might as wellmade it a new series as a sequel to SAO
There are some questionable areas of this anime.
1)Some pervert wants to marry Asuna.But because Asuna is in a coma,and still a fucking minor,they can't have a legal marriage.Therefore,pervert will be adopted by Asuna's family in spirit.Wait,what?
Asuna is literally in a coma,and you want to marry her off to some pervert sniffing her hair?I know her parents don't know about their terrible relationship,but at least wait till she gets out of her coma and states her opinion on her own marriage.Talk about good parents.
2)Sugaha,Kirito's sister,falls in love with him in the 2nd arc.
I know they aren't siblings(Cousins to be exact.Cousins can marry in Japan),but it's still fucked up.Out of everyone to add to Alpha thunder daddy Kirito's harem,they chose Sugaha?Seriously?Thats just fucked up.
3)What was the point in sleep PK?
Yea sure,they MIGHT have gotten the dead player's materials and money,but why?Every player is valuable,they can help a lot in boss fights.There is no way of getting more players,so it's basically like giving up free weapons.
They probably just wanted to kill for shits and giggles,there's no other reason.
4)Akihiko Kayaba forgot why he created SAO
After Kirito defeated Akihiko Kayaba,he asked Akihiko Kayaba why he did all this bullcrap.
His perfect reasoning?
He forgot.
You don't just go trap thousands of people in a game for 2 years,then forget why.What the actual hell?I wanted to go bang my head on the wall after this.
Art(7)
Scenery looked nice.
Sound(6)
It was fine.Kinda eh.
Character(2)
Characters were bland.Very bland. (Spoilers up ahead!)
Now first,our Alpha daddy Kirito.The manliest man to ever grace our world with his divinity.
This guy,OP.Did he hack into the system?
He somehow has the highest level of everyone in the game,because he doesn't need to share exp.Aren't there many other people who are solo like him?How come no one is even close to his level?
As if that wasn't enough,he also has a unique skill--Dual wielding.
For comparison,only Heathcliff,the Knight of the Bloods guild founder,has a unique skill other than Kirito.And the guy was the literal fucking creator of SAO.THE CREATOR.Kirito is just a normal player.How,HOW??
His personality is quite bland,uninteresting.
Now,Asuna.
Nothing much about her tbh.She's just strong and a tsundere.
Aight next,Yui.
Yui is an AI developed by Argus to address player mental health concerns in SAO,but was locked away.Yui lost her memories because she was being forced to monitor player mental health without being able to fulfil her duties.
During Kirito and Asuna's little honeymoon,they found and adopted her.Now they have an AI daughter.Kinda sad if you think about it tbh.
There are still many other characters,whose names I do not remember.They normally show up for 3 minutes in an episode and are never to be seen ever again.
Enjoyment(2)
As I mentioned previously,boring.
There were some parts where they tried to be funny,but didn't get a chuckle out of anyone.It was just plain awkward.
Overall(2)
Don't recommend watching.
