Review of Sword Art Online

Plot: 6.5 - Might have been one of the most elite animes to ever exist, the first 6 ep were all very well done with excellent character and problem introduction. - The problem was the middle of the anime where everything just went haywire, the plot thickened way too much and diverged into different storylines. It's almost as if the entire buildup was just to hype viewers and let them down. - With perhaps one of the best ideas in anime history, SAO was a huge letdown for what it could've accomplished. That said, the remaining factors which aided the plot devices bring the entire story into theabove average realm.

Animation: 8
- Some scenes were very well animated, maybe the fights near the end could've been done better but overall it was great.

Voice acting: 7.5
- Nothing too impressive, emotions were well displayed but voices at times didn't fit the characters.

Music: 8
- OPs are pretty nice
- EDs also great

Execution: 6
- For what could've been
