Mixed Feelings
I've got to say that Sword Art Online was a bit of a disappointment. The potential this anime had. They could have become one of my all time avourite anime's. The plot is in the near future people have created a 'nerve gear' which allows people to go into the virtual world of Sword Art Online. People to start to log into the the game but the people who are playing soon find out they can't leave and if someone disconnects there nerve gear they will die. The only way to leave is to go through all 100 levels the game has and each level has an overpowered boss that people need to team up to kill. (except for our main protagonist Kirito who is pretty much invincible and can kill everything)

That sounds like one of the best and original idea for an anime. Don't expect to see 100 bosses though because you only get 4. Me being a big fan of anime and video games thought this would be amazing, combining the two. At first it was alright but all the time jumps and bland characters started to make it go down hill.
The very worst part was the abysmal story arc of Elfheim online. It was pointless and boring and what happens if you die....Oh no you have to re-spawn at the start. I would of muched prefered just a bunch cool boss fights. The boss fight in Sword Art are Amazing. It almost makes up for the rest of the anime.

Its not the worst thing ever though, its just a overated and a waste of a good idea. The art style was nice and it was done especially well during the fight scenes. The music is just Amazing, the fight music and the intro's. This anime had so much going for it.

The characters were horrible in sword art. Kirito was just a boring loner of a kid who (like alot of anime) every girl falls for him. He meets a bunch of girls during his travels and every one gets one episode and you barley see them again except for Asuna the main love interest to our protagonist Kirito. The love story kind of felt pushed and rushed in sword art, and there relationship takes up alot of the time during 3 episodes where alot of good stuff could of happened.

I did enjoy the anime though and it was appealing to the eye. It just could of been better. I was very entertained during the main Sword art part but i can't really recall much from Alfheim. I do recommend this anime and im hoping the next part of Sao Gun gale could redeem the show.

Thanks for reading my reveiw and just remember this is my opinion so you can say this is the best show in the world!
