Review of Sword Art Online

Have you ever gone to a buffet? The place overflowed with a variety of food where you could pick whatever you want to eat and take as many as you want provided that you consume them all within your time limit. Be honest, not everything you picked tastes “good”. Sometimes it tastes like soggy french fries you get from lazy fast food restaurants despite its alluring appearance and fragrant smell. I think Sword Art Online’s the same. You experience many things - both good and bad along with bad hidden in good and good hidden in bad. The sense of unpredictability and ups and downscaused by the sheer messiness of the story makes this show one of the finest, convenient time consuming series which is actually worth your time if you actually don’t mind genericity.

I’m too lazy to write now so I’ll just finish it here. Uhh.. Watch SAO if you think you like isekai, RPG, edginess and harem. You’ll probably be fine if you like them all. If you don’t however, then SAO might be a bit of a yikes for you. Still, there’s this thing called “Alicization” which is pretty much the better version of SAO so if you can somehow pass all the messiness and reach Alicization then it might just be worth it.
