Review of Sword Art Online

So, here is my opinion, at first: This is my first review, it's not going into all parts like character writing, art etc. So if you want a well researched and fair review, please move on, thank you. At first: I really liked this series! The idea of the story is so good, it overwhelmed me, the characters are really good, you can really feel with them and understand them. The technically idea about how this works is really good explained and well elaborated in my eyes. You will be directly into the anime and you'll love the first 14 eps. To understand the problems with the anime at some part, you should'veseen the summary / cover on the top here.

The bad:
This is a really good plot and in the first 14 episodes you'll love this anime for it, but after them
the scenery changes and takes place in another virtual world, where it's not a problem for the main
protagonist to die (respawn). This changes the whole feeling, if not changing the world is already self
explaining.

The story rushes from the beginning, I felt like that from the second episode, but I had no problem
with it, till this one hard cut in the middle came.
The story doesn't cut here, it's one big story still, but you'll feel like you where kicked out of a
dream.

It could even have ended with this 14th episode, it would've been a clean, even though not completely
explained ending.

The good:
I loved the love story, the fights, the friendships, the story about the problems in modern society
and the whole story so much, that I can oversee for myself this big kick in the face in the middle of the story.

The art is really well drawn, the sound quality is also good. ( Read: In my stream I didn't experienced
bad ones. )

Conclusion:
Not everyone will get into this, some will feel it too rushed so the death of a person isn't really interesting,
but if you love this idea and the world it can be really good.
My big warning is in the end the hard cut, and the nearly rape at the end.
The enjoyment was high enough in the end, and I think the "watch at least 2 ep's" rule also works here.
And I still think this is one of the shows that can be seen equally good as Clannad, ( I know some people will hate me for that. )
