Review of Sword Art Online

(wrote this without checking how i spelled, sry!) Short review, if you write a long one, no one will care! The reason you watch anime is because you want to experince something incredible, you want to see something that are so good that you want to forget everything and then watch it again. Few animes are like this, SaO is nowhere near. SaO just maked me angry, it is not as bad as the haters say and it's not even close of being as good as the lovers say, it's an almost decent anime. But that's not the point SaO makes me angry, i have never seenanything from any tv-serie, movie or anime that has so much potential. This is one of the few animes that i think really needs a lot of episodes, they should never have left SaO and they shouldn't have time skiped so much as they did. SaO had a really good first episode, then it just jumped out from a cliff and said fuck story and fuck any good character development.

Animation: SaO looked really good, the few action scenes they had was made pretty well and the rest of the show looked more than fine. You can complain about SaO a lot but they had good animation.

Sound: SaO was great at this department too, they had a great soundtrack, and the openings was fairly good, not exelent but not bad. If you just count the animation and sound then SaO is exelent, but we have some more things to mention.

Story: well, this actually happend. They had great animation, sound and the location that the anime took place in was fantastic, but it seems that it's REALLY hard to make a decent story. At first i thought that SaO had a great setting and story (first,second episode) then something happend, the thing that happend was that they skipped a lot. And when i mean a lot i mean a lot. Kirito (main guy) went from being kinda strong to be motherfucking ultra saying in one episode, no sorry not in one episode. between two episode he became super strong. And the main girl Asuna went from being a shy little nobody to be one of the most important persons in the SaO universe, and yes she is a tsundere. The reason why i wont mention the story is because it really has none, it has one goal and it is to beat the game. Nothing more that you can mention, the reason why the story wont get a story is because they have as i said a goal that they follow.

Characters: You can mention three characters in SaO, Kirito the kid who every girl likes for no reason (ofc we got some Harem in SaO) he is also the strongest player in SaO, even if we can't see why he is the strongest because of the fucking time skips. We also got the at first shy girl Asuna that for no reason turns out to be the general or something like that for the strongest guild in SaO, she also for no reason turns out to like Kirito, why? we don't know because of the time skips. Then we got the sister Suguha, or what am i saying, she is just a cousin. The reason why i write just a cousin is because she is in love with Kirito, AGAIN for no reason. Suguha appears when the second arc starts, she is playing the second game that SaO is about, i will call that game, Motherfucking Fairies. The only character development that we have in SaO is that Kirito will choose one girl and Suguha wants to bang her cousin more and more.

Value: The only thing that i can think about is that if you are stuck, don't give up. Fight for your right and try to live. SaO got some Value but it's minimal. More Value than story, even if that's nothing to brag about.

Enjoyment: The music and animation was great and only for that reason i enjoyed it to some degree, and the setting was one of the best that i've seen, i love video games so i had hopes. But they fucked this anime so hard that i almost want to cry.

Final verdict: The first episode or maybe the first two was pretty good, or maybe great. Then the motherfucking "why must they have" time skips happen. And the second arcs setting was so much worse than the first arc. If they made 60 episodes or so about SaO (The real SaO not motherfucking fairies) and showed how Kirito leveled up and fought the bosses plus that they had a lot of side characters with character development. Ofcouse the main cast would have been Kirito and Asuna that they would focus on but i wanted side characters to have some spotlight too. And Suguha, she never happend, the only thing that i can see is that she tries to rescue Kirito and goa nd played SaO, but that would have been bad. If they made something like that it may have been a masterpiece, or atleast more that decent. Perhaps very good, but you know, we will never know because i doubt that they will remake SaO into something good!
