Review of Sword Art Online

I enjoyed SAO But it is far from perfect. As someone who pays a lot of games i found it quite easy to relate to, comparing elements of SAO to other games, but the show has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes breaks its own rules The story is alright, the world created is very interesting but i don't thin it was explored enough, I would have thought higher of the series had it end on episode 15 rather than adding the alfhiem arc. The music isn't all too memorable but does its job well. As far as the characters go most of them are likable but shortlived, Kirito is unrealistically powerful, even if he is a "beater," However i overlooked this through most of the series. Some of the characters should have been explored further, Lisabeth especially.
Some of the shorter stories told within the years that passed during the anime come across short, it was difficult to empathize at parts as the characters were only introduced the episode prior. Their deaths may have been impact to Kirito but to me as a viewer I'd barely seen them.

This is My first review! i hope to write more, in future they will hopefully be more positive
