(Don't worry i won't put any spoilers in my review)
For Story, i gave it a 10/10.
Why? First of all, it shows how much one's life can mean whether in the real world or the virtual one. The romance in this anime is beyond amazing. To be able to fall in love in an virtual world and then to bring it to the real world is quite awesome. The main character's love is able to surpass many worlds. It really brings out the romance in this anime and the realization of how strong love can make us. Sword Art Online shows us that with love, we can do anything, even beyond the laws of the world.
For Art and Sound i gave them both 10/10
The first Opening of SAO is just awesome. I would listen to it over and over again and memorize the lyrics. The clashing of the swords to the fizzling sounds of when things die is just so specific and precise that even if you don't like the storyline, its worth to watch it for the art and sound. The art itself is amazing. Asuna is so pretty!!! I love how they have made the details about all the things in this virtual world. I find that to be able to touch an area infront of you so that a menu can pop up is very amazing.
Character Development i gave it also a 10/10
In this anime, they really develop the main characters attitude changes through out their time spent in the virtual game Sword Art Online. Kirito (the main character) shows so much changes in his life and he becomes a completely different person than he was back in the real world. Sword Art Online may have just been a game, but it really matured Kirito in every way. He learned to take responsibility in this "game". Not just responsibility, but also to protect his friends and those that he loves. Great character development in this anime, it really shows the changes to the character throughout his time trapped in Sword Art Online.
Enjoyment: 10000000000/10 (10/10)
LOVED IT. Its awesome, fun, boss, and is a great anime for those that like a mixture of action and romance with a touch of fantasy. The openings are very catchy, and is a great adventure. As a gamer, this anime really shows things that have been pondering in my mind for a long time. Such a great show, i really hope for there to be a second season and even a third. Praying for it everyday.
Overall - 10/10
If you had read everything above you would know why i rate it a 10/10 overall. If you didn't and skipped to the bottom well let me sum it up for you: ITS AWESOME. Every part of this anime is great and funny. Despite having some minor flaws, it is everything a gamer/anime lover would want to watch. I greatly recommend it to you all who are even slightly interested in watching Sword Art Online. If your friends told you to watch it, then listen to their advice because this is seriously amazing.
If you spent time to read through my review you have my biggest thanks and I hope all of you can come to have the same passion for this anime as I have. Anyways, thanks for reading!
