It's been a long time i heard the popularity of this series and never had time to watch it nor i read its light novel or manga. And after watching it, i feel disatissfied and disappointed yet i understand why it is popular.
This show were made for younger audiences who happened to grow with mmorpgs and being less critical folks. So if you are the type of person who appreciate quality in a story; well written plot, good settings, personality and development in characters or even just looking for an anime to leave you a memorable impression, don't bother to watch this.
But if
...
you are the type of person who could care less about things and watching only for entertainment purpose; fanservices, mmorpgs trend, invincible mc, then SAO will work fine for you.
I've read a lot of worst manga than SAO (mostly shoujo), but this is the worst anime i've ever watched.. So far. Simply because the story is a mess and somehow it got animated. When people often complain if a story gets draggy, too long, or getting nowhere. SAO has crazy pacing, ignoring details, and anticlimactic final boss fighting. Plus, the second half of the show (Alfheim Online) should be made a separate story/sequel rather than part of 'Sword Art Online' story.
Thus, with many things to complain I did enjoy watching it to a certain extent though.
