Review of Sword Art Online
I don't know what to say other than, Outstanding. Story Development, Art, Sound, Character Development, Enjoyment, Overall are all 10's for me. The first like 6 episodes are hard to follow, but after that, is when the story really starts to take shape. I was a little hesitant with starting it, and regret doing that. It has easily become my 2nd favorite, if not my all time favorite anime of all time. I put it off thinking it was something else, because the summary i read about it on a different site gave a completely different feel about it thanit actually was.
I've watched it 3 times in the month i first started watching it, and i want to continue watching it again and again. You may think at first, Oh its just a .Hack// remake. And thats where your wrong. I had initially thought, "Oh its sort of like .Hack//" But after a little bit, i saw that it was nothing like .hack//. This anime is alot better than any of the .hack// series. It has a deeper story that gets you attached. It makes me really want to play a game like that, and experience all the emotions that everyone in the game experienced. Knowing that it was a game, yet knowing that if you died, you were really dead. People living their lives in the game as if they lived there their whole life. People trying so hard to complete the game and go back to their lives.
So many emotions went through me in the middle of the anime, and when it ended, I wanted more. They have the Manga for it, so it wouldnt surprise me if they made another season or 2.
If your looking for an anime that has a little bit of action, a little bit of Romance, a little bit of Comedy, and drama, then Sword Art Online is for you. I honestly don't think i'll find an anime that i like as much as this one any time soon.
