Story
Ok when i first watched the anime i thought to myself "This anime is going to be great where people get stuck inside of the VR and if the parent try to unlik them they die and if they die in game they die for real. The first two episodes showed great potential for the anime on how it sets up the mood , Showing us the characters and the plot, But once episode 3 happened they seemed to be rushing themselves and seeming a lot of time skips making you ask yourself "Ok.. How did Kirito progressed? How did he trained?" And why did
...
Asuna suddenly fall in love with him? All we see is some clips of him and her sharing same house being all lovey dovey for some reason. withing 26 episodes they completed 2 arcs which could be more than 50 episodes if they did not rushed the anime. The other main problem i find is when Kirito is on verge of dying the system glitches making him live with 1 hp or giving him an op move for no reason. One of the main guys forget why he trapped them all in the first pace, The second is just a pervert wanting Asuna to himself which to me is not a good plot... If i want to watch a love triangle with bad story concept i'd go watch reality tv or soap drama. And finally for the second ark of the series... The reason why kirito won is because the first major boss he killed you know dead gave him access to the mainframe/power
Art:
To me it is not bad but not really... Unique as it is like most other anime art style. Though the map and landscape is of a fantasy game style which is really nice
Sound:
The music they added in and the timing is really great to listen to, They had perfect timing and tones to suit the emotions
Characters:
Kirito:
... What can i say? First he is bland having no personality what so ever and yet for some reason girls fall in love with him? Ughh...Second he is a total idiot, I mean more than 100 people died because of him keeping his identity and not acting more bolder when he been in the beta along with his level is pretty high up. Yes you may say so he can stay alive but mind you to me he supposed to die at the first boss where a lot of people die but the system glitches out letting him live. Third people say "What's wrong with him being op" Nothing wrong with being OP as long their is a good reason behind it. For example in Dragonball series it explains sayians get power boost when nearly killed due to DNA, And Tatsuya from the irregular high school where he got experimented on, But for Kirito? Noo.. they just slapped on powers when he is on verge of 'dieing'
Asuna:
For the first 3-5 episodes she seemed like a strong female character that do not need to rely on anyone. Being able to handle Players, NPCS and monsters with her Rapier which was really good. Then for some reason after the time skip she seeming to be dependent on kirito and becomes 1950's house wife allowing the men go out to work while she does house work. Why? She would be really good fighting along with bland kirito.. Which brings another point Why did she fall in love with?
Majority of females Kirito meet:
They either die... Or for some reason fall in love with his bland character but again like Asuna you do not see them fight as this turned the VR anime into a harem anime which i hate the most, Yes personal opinion i hate Harems
Bad guys:
Ok first major bad guy... He forgets why he trapped them inside the game
Second major bad guy, He wants Asuna to himself by keeping her in the game
Third.. Well there is just a bunch of people wanting to kill people that is all
Enjoyment:
Though many people try and defend this title saying it was good i did not enjoyed it that much which why i dropped it
Overall:
The anime has great potential but it got flushed down the drain as it;
Skipped time
Poorly made character development
As for people saying it original/unique.. Not its not there is more VR games made before this got created even manga wise like//hack.sign
