I caught this anime on crunchy roll. Im a gamer, but I dont think that is even the reason why I enjoyed this anime. Im a die hard romance freak sometimes and I find it really hard to find an anime that accomplishes that goal anymore. At first I didnt expect this anime to even scratch the service of a romance but when the love between Kirito and Asuna blossomed I was amazed. He was a loner in a world filled with death and when Asuna promised that she'd protect him it was heart warming. I find that sometimes animes drag things out and as a watcher you want things so badly to happen. Like a first kiss and the words "I love you." And SAO didnt disappoint. From the moment romance blossomed it just steam rolled like real love should Kirito was no longer alone and he wasnt fighting to save everyone he was fighting so he could wake up and be with Asuna for real he was fighting for the girl he loved. I dont know why everyone feels this anime is stereotypical and only draws in the worst of fans.
Anyone considering this anime should most definetly watch it. This review is poorly done but I wish to avoid spoilers. This anime was solid and it definitely deserves to continue. Although im not sure where else it could continue too, but I actually plan to read the light novels because I feel that this anime like many have will not make it past 25 episodes.
If you love romance and want to see a boy and a girl find love in a world with only death and suicide. A love so strong that nothing will stand in his way. Then I most defenitely recomend this anime.
