Plot/story- it had a good plot, game gone deadly there's not much anime like that except log horizon but there's always two anime alike (my opinion). Anyway back to SAO the reason I gave it (8) was because even though the plot was cool and can be related to most viewers but the main problem for many was the second part after episode 14, I mean I would of been happy if SAO ended there but they had to add another game thinking it would have some kind of effect like in SAO (game) but personally I didn't like it. The addition of magic was kind of a sell out because nearly every MMORPG has magic but Sword art online didn't, which made this interesting. Another thing that ruined the second part of SAO was the seriousness and the removal of the deadliness, in ALO no one should be that serious about its just a game and I understood why Kirito took things seriously was because he was STUCK IN A DEATH GAME FOR TWO YEARS so none of them should take this game serious. Speaking of death game the I didn't like the fact that they took out the you will die if you die here situation, what I mean is that they took out the killer boss fights and the and the overall theme that was in the first part of SAO which was partly well mostly the reason why I watched it.
Characters- the characters were great, well for the first part I mean they all had different characteristics and personality but I didn't like most well pretty much all the characters from Episode 15 onwards.
Art- The art was just a bit over average it was cool how the environment should have looked if a advance game would have been developed and when it becomes a view from the player it shows what they are seeing which is pretty cool.
Sound- no problem with sound it played the right kind of music for each scene for example boss fight would have a serious adrenaline pumping music where in strolls around towns have a peaceful cheerful sound.
Enjoyment- I enjoyed it even though someone should of told me about the second part a years ago but i recommend anyone to watch it up until episode 14 but if your like me you want to watch every episode.
Thanks to anyone if you read the whole thing, sorry for any terms that aren't right but watched SAO a long time ago
And please comment since this is my first full review and sorry for not using a lot of punctuation I was not bothered to edit my work, thank you.
