Review of Sword Art Online

They had me in the first half I'm not gonna a lie. I believe the first 12 episodes were actually good and what inspired the isekai genre to take off. In the second half, the anime falls into a very weird trope of a perverted molesting executive who is keeping a damsel in distress up in a cage awaiting the main character to save them. It assumes that this damsel in distress is unable to save herself and starts to blanket the idea that women are incapable and inferior to men. Understand however that this anime was created in Japan which has more antiquated socialvalues compared to what I am used to. Overall the hype of this anime and subsequent season two, season three, season four, is probably its own downfall and what has dragged its score down from being a great anime to being mediocre. Overall I would rate this anime a 7/10
