Review of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online is an Anime that at the end of the show, you will say "Ah, it is finally end.". This another story of GGO has a good beginning of story, it interest me since first episode, I can't deny it. But as the show goes, the show just realize me that this show has many flaw. It got a good backstory. "You do not satisfy with you real life condition. So you want to play a game as a different person." It suit the story of GGO as a virtual game online so well. But a good backstory isn't enough tosay that the story is good.
Half of the show it is still acceptable, the story still has a good pace, good story telling, good character representing, good game mechanic, more gun action than the previous GGO show. But, what is making me unsatisfy with this show is, after that "ok" first half of the show (because i expect it is just an opening for the show at least), the other half of the show is just complete torment.
The rest of the show (the last half of the show) has a really really poor character, I mean these characters that we should've knew how they supposed to be, is not gonna be what we expected. It got so much unreasonable action, poorly characterization, some other new character out from nowhere that has zero backstory that maybe or not and unexpectedly has some influence with the story.
Here is my suggestion for you who haven't watch the show yet.
Just watch half of the show.
You should have know "who is" and how the story gonna be, when you have watched first half of the story (6 episodes). I guarantee, yes it have the story and "who is" that you expected. Except you are actually clueless well i don't rush you.
