Review of Sword Art Online

Okay, SAO is definitely a weird and unpredictable anime. The first episode wasn't as good as I expected, but I stuck with it to see where it led on. After 4 or 5 episode, I'm all in. The first Arc, SAO (that's the arc), is brilliant. The timeline's a bit too messy, and the character development is unstable. You think the anime's got one heroine, turns out, it's got X many. The story itself is great for SAO. The second arc, not so good. If I had a way to express it, it'll be "Why? What is the point? Go die for wasting my time."So, allow me to expand on what I mean, if you're still reading. It isn' the fact that the anime's good which motivates you to watch the latter 8 episodes. No, rather it is anticipation. The following may contain MINOR SPOILER!!!!!!!

When Asuna is violated by that wanker of pussies, I got really angry. I've liked her since the start. And seeing her development through the series, you can't help but feel a bit attached. So when some dickhead starts to play villain, well, you can guess what happened. The producers tried to weave in another relationship in the second arc, but, the anticipation residing in you makes you skim that part. So you really have little idea what's going on.

So apart from the second, useless and dispicable arc, it's a good anime. Yes, it did finish happily. But the ending's a bit... big bang-less. So unless you're a person with a cold heart, or someone who likes to be tortured, this anime's good. Otherwise, you'll have a boner all the time.

BTW, this is the only anime where I've got to know the ending, midway through, so I won't have a heart attack from stress and anger. I think that shows how much I wanna watch it. Like seriously, its THAT much.
