This is a a rewriting of my first review since I was ranting a lot in that, so this time I wil try not to rant and will use the usual swear words like fuck cause I used the n-word before, anyway, here we go ;_; "A person is very strong when he seeks to protect something. I’ll expect a good fight." I feel sorry for people like me who somehow watched all of this, I think you'll know why. So SAO 2 is gonna be finishing up soon, so you know what that means, we gotta review the first season *sighs* welp lets get this overwith. The thought of this makes me wanna barf. The story fails so many basic things. The charcters could be good but just get ignored like they were nothing. The music and animation are pretty solid but that dosen't make up for anything. And enjoyment comes from the mindless action and thats really it. A-1, are you even trying with this show?

Story and characters: 2/10
No seriously A-1, like seriously. So this is set in the near future were humanity have now accomplished Virtual Reality MMOs (VRMMOs for short) so everything is going well until, a game called Sword art Online (hence name of the show) is released. So as it gets launched everything goes fine until people realize, there's no logout button. Then it turns out the only way to get out is to complete all 100 floors, and there's a twist, if you die, you die for realsies. OH PAPER SHEETS! So this would probably be some Fantasy Action right? Well sadly, this also falls into the genres of Romance and harem.... so answered yet A-1? The bad thing is this fails so badly in basic things cause of, the MC. lets go on to him.

Kirito, so Kirito is the MC here and well, he really boring and bland. Even the stuff he says is bland. But somehow when he meets female characters (hence harem) they somehow fall in love with him... Either he's unbelievebly sexy and has a huge D or just anime logic. But really this is lazy, have a reason for why these people fall in love with him? Now male characters you ask, well the good thing is they don't fall for his spell, so thats all good.

Next, another thing about the MC is that the story just focuses on him when in reality he just sucks. When we get introduced to new characters, they get ignored later on until some specific serious thing happens to Kirito. This is another sign of laziness, cause this show dosen't even try on developements.

But, then we have Asuna, when first introduced she's this shy but brave woman who you really like, she knows whats she's doing and is really likable. Then, she meets Kirito -_- this is where she becomes helpless. She goes from Joan of Arc to some generic anime female, she becomes this weaker version of who she once was and it feels like her soul belongs to Kirito and something. Please don't get me started on the fanart and chapter 16.5, like don't bother.

Art: 7/10
The art is pretty nice here, I like it, some really good looking visuals. But this dosen't make up for its laziness of characters. Some scenes the animation may be a little sloppy but they tried.

Sound: 7/10
The music is not bad, some good tunes and some good OPs but meh EDs. It has some memroble tunes but overall good.

Enjoyment: 3/10
So, boring dialouge, convinient ass things, plot holes, no charcter developements, pathetic writing. The only pro would be the action which is actually enjoyable to watch other than that, it dosen't even try.

Overall: 2/10
This is a poor excuse for a plot and characters, I don't know how this even got mainstream? The ending is meh, not much happens and really is there as a Happily ever after vibe. Overall, stay away from this, it dosen't even try.

Rating: Shit would taste better than this.
