Review of Sword Art Online
After watching the whole series of Sword Art Online. This is the one anime that kept me watching. Most animes I've ever come across, I would get heavily distracted and forget about the series completely. But this one kept me watching and I hated the wait for a new episodes. Kirito and Asuna were very enjoyable characters. They both went through so many struggles though their struggles is what made them stronger. I fail to see why people call them Mary-sues or Gary-stus, yes while Kirito does always come up with a solution for a plan. He has his flaws too. He doesn't always have everything hisway. And neither does Asuna.
But that's soley my opinion. This anime isn't too bad and most animes would have a lot of fan service that draws away attention from the series. So you gotta give this series an A for this.
Not saying that there isn't fan service or ecchi in this anime. Considering a lot of the girls are in love with Kirito; but hey. What do you expect? Lot of other anime have that and people don't say much on them. The virtual world death game was genius; even though this story does remind me of .hack with the MMORPGS. I've enjoyed SAO more.
The animation was great, the music was awesome, YUKI KAJIURA. Favorite artist to compose music; so that's enough for me.
But yeah, I give SAO an 8, because I do believe they should have played with the SAO arc a little more before going into the FAIRY ARC. My only complaint is I feel they have rushed it to get the series done. SAO should have had its own season. Not just be split into two arcs. But the way they ended it was awesome.
