Review of Sword Art Online

Pros +Very Promising start up +Strong Lead characters +Good concept +Enjoyable if you don't look into it to much +Great Art Style Cons -Poor Character development -Deviates from the main concept of the show-Can get boring at times
-Slow pacing
-Few plot holes that are not explained though out

My opinion
First off the bat i though this anime was going to be one of the greats, i loved the idea of the virtual game world, it seemed like a great idea. I understand that there are some real differences in opinion in this anime but i have to say i did enjoy this show. I understand that some of the plot holes are annoying and they really should have taken more time to develop certain parts but you fill in the blanks for yourself and just relax and watch the show you will find you enjoy it a lot more. I think a lot of the problems begin to show there head after they 'complete' the game and the Elf arc starts. For me i think the first arc of SAO should have really had the full 24 episodes to fully develop and then a second season if they wanted to do the elf arc, even tho for me the elf arc really was the problem with the show.
So should you watch this show? Yes don't think about it to much just watch it the experience some of the really cool fight scenes, fantastic art work, and a real badass male lead.
Hope my review helped
