Review of Sword Art Online

I am very much in like with Sword Art Online. I don't love it, because it's not a good show, but I do deeply like it, for a lot of very uncritical-- possibly even silly-- reasons. Sword Art Online is not good in the traditional sense of the word. The characters are weak and one-note, the plots are contrived and sometimes just so full of holes I feel like I have to play hopscotch if I think about it for two seconds, and the game worlds are broken. But I still like this show w for purely aesthetic reasons. At the end of the day,watching Kirito swing around a sword still looks cool, Yui is still adorable, and Asuna is still the kind of person I want to be when I grow up.
