Review of Sword Art Online

(UPDATED AS OF 1/8/17) This is my very 1st review, don't criticize about it please. The first anime I'm going to review is Sword Art Online. Now, don't get me wrong, because some people don't like this anime, it's seem a popular anime for fans. So whether it's good or not, let's review it. -(CAUTION: CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!)- Story (3/10) - First off, let's started something great about SAO. In the first 2 episodes, the main characters are introduced and faced the main major conflict. 10,000 players are trapped inside SAO and must work their way to escape by accomplishing 100 floors without dying. It seem very scary and challenging,but I'm expecting to see anything cool that can impress me, that 2 episodes's story is very good. However, the story gets awful as you watch episode 3 and more, you wanna know? THE FREAKING TIMESKIP! It ruins the anime and I'm more likely don't like it. Instead, the story needs to gradually progress, not too fast like if you were in the time machine, you went whatever months it is to the future. This story needs slow progress to make the plots balanced. When it comes ALO, it's can be monotonous to any people, but to me I guess it's alright, it seems quite entertaining to watch. However, I think time skips also occurs here (I'm going to check it) and yet I have to give this a 3. I mean, try to take it easy. You're too fast.

Art (8/10) -
The art is pretty amazing, the background seems well done, and the characters arts is great but not the bestest. I have nothing to say about this, but overall the art is impressive.

Sound (8/10)
The sounds used in this anime are mostly great, some of them may seem meh... it's mediocre, but the songs and the soundtracks are remarkable.

Characters (6/10)
It's hard to explain this part, but I'll try my best. You started off with the main protagonist, Kirito, who also a SAO player and the most badass character in SAO series. Cool thing about Kirito is he never gives up and keeps fighting with dramatic moment. I like when he used dual wield skill to defeat The Gleam Eyes and he almost died with few health left, dang man. He's savage.

Secondly is Asuna, also a SAO player and Kirito's partner, this character seems cool and it's known to be favored by many SAO fans. Apparently, Asuna is pretty strong and I think I don't see any flaws of Kirito and Asuna.

Third is Yui, now I know what you're thinking. I've seen people hated this character. But to me, she seems to be a decent character. I didn't expect Yui equipped a big ass sword weapon and makes me think, "Wh-what? H-how the heck does she do that?". Overall, this character is alright, the thing I don't like is Yui sometime can be annoying. Beside, Yui looks cute especially in ALO.

Now let's talk about antagonists, or just villians. 1st antagonist is Kayaba Akihiko, a game master of SAO and designer of NerveGear, Cardinal System, and The Seed. Seem cool huh? In my opinion, he looks quite interesting character and I can't believe how tough this guy is in SAO. Overall, I like this guy by the way.

For 2nd antagonist, here comes Sugou Nobuyuki. A guy who trapped Asuna, remember when SAO ended prematurely when Kayaba was defeated by Kirito? Kirito was free but not Asuna. Apparently, Sugou is considered as pervert, just looking at how much he did something nasty to that poor Asuna. Eventually, it's so satisfying to watch Sugou slowly dies off by getting their limbs and his torso cut off by Kirito, so I obviously enjoyed that part. I can tell many fans hated Sugou, you know. Anyway, this character may seem disgusting but it's pretty entertaining.

And other characters, well. Most of them are great, they're funny and hilarious. But other characters, well, kind of boring.

Enjoyment (8/10)
I almost enjoyed this anime a lot. But there's some flaws while I'm watching through 25 episodes. The fight scenes are greatly action-packed and pretty amazing and it stuns me how great the fighting scenes is because it gives me sensational moment when it comes to Kirito fighting with dramatic scene. The funny moments are pretty amusing for me and others and it seems enjoyable for me. Sometimes I find some episodes boring and that's not a good thing. But overall, I still enjoyed this anime.

Overall (6/10)
In conclusion, I like this anime. Although it's a popular anime for anime fans to watch, not many people liked it, it's just because of poorly written story, and I almost agree with it. But I'm not telling this is not the worst anime I ever watched, I like the characters, the fight scenes, and the songs and soundtracks as well. But the story is just goes WAY too fast and gives lack of details about this story, also there's sometime too many plot holes. So I'll give this 6 out of 10.
