Review of Sword Art Online

After hearing much about the highly-acclaimed SAO, I decided to watch it. The main reason I watched it was because of the relationship between the main protagonists. However, the concept of the virtual gaming world was ruined by romance. The first few episodes were very promising: action, fights, duel, and personally my favorite, a strong heroine. However, as the series progresses, all of that is lost. It became a fan-service series, which was really disappointing because the concept of being trapped in a virtual world could be expanded better.
