Review of Sword Art Online

Sao is one of the most hated and most popular anime of all time. How!? It came out in a time when gaming was becoming the next big thing with a protagonist that looks like a background character, so it was easy to relate to him. Besides it represents a fantasy of being a badass, women love to have, but most importantly it had a strong start. 1.Art of first episode: You may forgot, but the beginning had a strong premise, down to earth characters and deaths of characters builden up as important, so what went wrong? 2.The death of SAO: it stopped, the show started tointroduce a lot new characters, focus was more to the slice of life elements and the fundamental flaw giving characters op abilities (that are used once) without a explenation, for example main Hero kirito becomes a amazon hacker for one episode and its never mentioned again.

3. The small stakes and meaningles moments: The stakes are small, one character dies, but cheats so doesnt die, it just stupid and creates a problem, you stop believing that anyone could die. The big moment of first half being a fight to only save someone is quite pointless, because in the second half this character is still inprisioned.

4. The second half: It is very bad animation is worse, plus there are added weird horny elements like tentacle rape and incest.

5. Conclusion: You should watch 4 first episodes ant stop, or watch the whole first half only, it has a definitive conclusion, second half avoid on all cost. In case if you want to watch al of sao, you should visit a doctor.
