Lets start with the story.
While I cannot spoil anything, I will say that the story does take some time to get going, and I can see why people get turned off by that. But to really see that greatness of this anime, you have to at least see 7 episodes. You then see how clever everything hangs together.
The world is also great. This is an MMORPG, and you really notice it. It actually has a lot of MMORPG elements in them, and the world cannot simply be traded with another fantasy world (which is one of my main complaints with Sword Art Online)
The art is lesser then in other anime's. Mostly with fight scenes, its very noticable. This could have been way better
Another great thing about this anime are the characters. The characters are really build up, with multiple layers in their personality. Every character is different. (unlike in Sword Art Online)
A thing that's also not that good, is the really cheesy humor. There is a lot of them. There were times that I really thought: ''why am I watching this?''
FINAL VERDICT:
Even though this anime has some problems (slow buildup, art style could be better, cheesy humor) the story is really good. None of the characters are alike, the world really feels like an MMORPG, and the show has really big payoffs. Really reccomend it
