Review of Sword Art Online
I'll keep it short. Sword Art Online has a incipit that we've seen a million times, but that's not the problem. The show starts of great, and i mean, great. As a guy who played MMORPGS, that was really fun and the first two episodes of Sword Art Online were some of the best start for an anime. And then all falls apart. We basically have fillers, in an 25 ep Anime. The first half is just a 30% Plot. We got useless character, a poor writing, some nice OST and Art. SAO had the potential to be truly amazing, but it never gets really good. Probably if they made a real odissey,a semi-long anime just for the SAO saga, maybe SAO would be a really nice anime.
When i saw the show, i actually enjoyed it, and yes, you can enjoy this too, even if it's bad.
It's not the worst, there is lot of shit outta here, but no, it's not good.
It's filled with banalities and clichès in the first part, and it's totally nonsense in the second part.
I mean, really nonsense.
In conclusion, SAO could be great, but is basically mediocre.
Is it worth a watch?
If you like that incipit and that kind of story, yeah, go for it, you'll probably like it.
If you're not sure about that, well, you can private yourself of the vision of SAO and go watch some better shows.
See ya
