Story: EASY 10.
The story is mostly about this MMO that people are trapped inside of and this one character decides to go on a journey to solve this problem. That's it in a nutshell. But what I really like about the story is its originality. I have yet to see another anime that dealt with Games and treated it like life and death. That was really mind blowing. Second thing is how they started the show....awesome. they went right into the whole you're gonna die theme which made everything very well played out. Its cool how they brought in many characters throughout the anime but they mostly focused on about 2. Third, they included FEELINGS as in emotions throughout. Now I know a lot of anime that played with emotions like Clannad and Elfen Lied but this one was really the go-getter. It incorporated tons of emotions. I felt connected to the characters all the way but ill say why later. And lastly, the ending... this was by the most satisfying of all anime. I had no questions left at the end because they were all answered. No hangs or anything. And tbh...I think that's what made this so great...all of it.
Art: 10
I liked the art a lot. It showed expression, action, and depth. The creativity was there and it proved itself to be worthy of such a great review. The expressions were mezmerizing and the action...oh the action....best parts of the show. Everytime you saw an explosion or a rush, you felt engaged and running along side the character. It was splendid.
Sound: 10
I like a lot of OST's but this one is sure to be memorable. Both of them. I think the first one is a bit better but still....both good. The action scene sounds were great too. Nothing felt off or anything.
Now this is where its fun...
Character: 10
Since you spend all your time trying to get to know Kirito you begin to be, feel, and even act like him. All his emotions portrayed during the anime relay onto you. The character building is there and doesn't stop throughout. Every character is quite memorable too.
Enjoyment: 10
Overall I felt this anime was a beauty. Idk what could've been better in the show. With everything that was shown during this anime its hard to say that it wasn't the least bit entertaining. It really kept you on edge and if you decide to not watch this anime....then you're a fool.
