Review of Sword Art Online

This is the first anime I started following from its release to its finale, and having said that I can say this, I liked sword art online. Considering its flaws and a few oversites, it remained original and in a sense not overly ambitious. Personally, the main flaw was the speed in which the story line developed, much too rushed, this lead to powerful emotions and important events crunched in 20 something minutes, sometimes and hour depending on the story arc. The story itself is good, the idea of it being somewhat "Matrix" like, in the way of being plugged into a computer withthe threat of death to your physical body is neat.

Regardless of the archetypal character structure there was some uniqueness and memorable quality about some of the main characters. I would liked to have seen some of the characters from season 1 in season 2; this could also be due to hastiness.

Overall, sword art online was a good 20 something minutes spent during the week, although it's just bordering on the average scale it still was quite enjoyable.
