Review of Sword Art Online

Okay, I promised myself I wouldn't write a review for Sword Art Online, but here I am just because I honestly think SAO doesn't deserve half of the shit it gets. I am not a hardcore SAO fan, nor a SAO hater, so for once, here is an unbiased opinion on the anime; Sword Art Online. Story - Sword Art Online's story isn't the most interesting although it isn't the worst and I actually quite enjoyed it. The adventures the characters have along during the story is far more interesting and is often overlooked by people. Art - The art is fairly mediocre although it isclear and easy to look at whilst also showing action during the action scenes. Although being pretty unoriginal it suits the anime.

Sound - The sound is decent for an anime, it provides mood and sets the scene as sound should although it isn't anything special. The openings are also fairly enjoyable to listen to.

Character - Here is where the most shit is received. The character. Kirito is not a flawed character by any means and although this isn't great it doesn't ruin the anime, sometimes a perfect character isn't bad to watch. Although despite Kirito being perfect, many of the other characters; Sinon for example are flawed and imperfect as well as well as most of the other side characters. Although Kirito himself isn't flawed it's interesting to see him interact with the other characters.

Enjoyment - Sword Art Online is a fun little anime to watch. You don't have to be a hardcore fan to enjoy it but rather like it for what it is. I know many people who hated the show until they actually watched it, where they found a fun little anime.

Overall - Overall the anime doesn't deserve the shit it receives by some, although it doesn't deserve the praise given by others either. SAO has it's weird scenes and moments, however at it's core SAO is a reasonably good anime. If your going to shit on this anime, please have at least watched it first so you know what you're talking about.
