Review of Sword Art Online
What the actual heck is this? Its like you tried to create a game... with no coding, artistic and common sense. If there is space, there is a way.Either this story itself was a troll or smt. First I will question this. Why does it even have 10 star reviews? It doesnt even deserve an 8. Story : Well, the first 2 episodes were fantastic. If I had to rate the show on just them, it will gain 10. Now lets review the real start. 3,4,5,6,7,8 Bullshit stuff. Too many time skips, character development which shouldnt even exist. Its like, you are explaining to your fatherwhy you need a intel Core I9 4700K for your school work. I guess 7-8 does contribute to the plot- no wait what? It just creates a way to explain how our main character can do some explainable shit. Take my literal word, skip them and if you have watched atleast some anime, you can fill in the gap easily, no sweat. Its more like, these episodes contribute to feeling sorry for the Main Character and create a harem I guess.
Also, that harem is still left untouched like my teddy bear of class 1.
Then lets come towards what people say is the good shit. The 9-12 episodes. Literal shit - bad one.There are some cool scenes but the story just goes downhill more and more.
now that we have finished the best part of the show, lets get to the next part.
Ever thought why you threw a paper plane as a kid? Sometimes, the only conclusion you can get is pure enjoyment when it flies, or how it crashes and dies. I guess the person who created wanted to relive this moment. If the first arc wasnt good, this would be like comparing your 3$ pocket money (its my actual pocket money) which was the 2nd arc, to the customized bugatte(the fastest car. Dont know how to spell it) of the ruler of saudia arabia
Art/Sound : I dont know how big the budget was, though it seems like they just used 90-95% of it on Art and Sound. It has good art, atleast whenever its used. Like sometimes when he fights or some people die (happens like what, 10 times in total if we also include the fights) its good. The fighting scenes are for once actually shown like an mmo with eye catchy effects and amazing death cries. Sound is also top notch. The OP and ED are one of my favorite ones. Even some of the middle songs are just crazy. The emotions the anime itself gives is like 1/20 of the emotions depicted in the Songs tho.
Character : what in the dog shit is this? Even Chinese manhuas do a better job at this. Lets divide this so I can diss them more easily.
Main Character/Kirito : He is a top notch fighter who has amazing powers. He can do everything like bob the builder. You name it, he knows it. Its amazing how the anime explains this through the great dues ex machina. Its like slapping nano-tech on whatever technology you cant explain. Iron man suit? nano-tech baby!
Asuna : The starting of was actually waifu tier. Then she just became a cook for the first arc. The second arc, she is the princess that kirito as the mario needs to save.
Villains : If you think they are one, then you havent seen real shit. They are the epitome of textbook villains. I guess the first arc villain was average. The 2nd arc? well, he was just simping too hard that he lost track of reality. Learn this lesson to never simp hard for waifu bois!
Side characters : Its again like my teddy bear who is forgotten from class 1. Klien or who ever was he, was a great character. Though he is still lost in the deserts of sahara. Man Down Bros!
Enjoyment : Gives less then hentai itself. It was a great at the start. And the avalaibility of time and episodes, coupled with the outstanding starting is still keeping me going and watch the new seasons. Though it still is just average.
TL;DR : I guess it good for wasting your time. As for those who say that this is for gamers, dont compare super mario to tic tac toe.
