If you judge an anime based on it's overall mal rating, for this anime, don't. I had no idea sao was ranked at 273 as of now. That is an astronomically high figure for the actual quality of the show. Sao is worth at most 1000-1500. The only redeeming quality of this anime is the art. Also the fact that all perverted male teens are attracted to heterosexually cliched romance. Anyway, in short, The characters are grossly written; especially the female characters. Actually really though. No female character is written to any higher degree than "Wow, this unattractive simpleton is for whatever unholy reason kinda hot and I think I'm in love!" The story is also unoriginal and bland.
I will now summarize this review with a series of adjectives that describe sao:
Cliched
Sad (no actually it makes me sad thinking i spent time watching this)
Unoriginal
Boring
Inferior
Painful
Average
Trite
Atrocious
Cute (the art and shitty romance)
Heterosexual
Pathetic
BAD
Thank you. Bring on the downvotes.
