If you even remotely enjoyed this heaping pile of shit then you are suffering from what I like to call mental retardation. Let me share with you why this show is nothing more than another generic harem romance with little plot.
Story:
Ok I admit, the first episode of this show had me hooked. I mean the idea of being in a VR MMO was just awesome, the world even looked promising and seemed so cool at first, the idea of being trapped inside a videogame and being able to die sounded truly terrifying and even sounded believable when explaining that leaving the game in anyway would kill you!
But then everything changed when the time skipping attacked, yep that's right, after about episode 2 this show starts skipping important scenes that are relevant to the plot.
For example the last episode you watched could of been Kirito fingering Asuna's (or Kleins) love hole and then when the ending theme roles and you move on to the next episode, Kirito is suddenly being raped by that one big black guy. But all jokes aside, my point is this show doesn't explain shit, it treats the person watching like an idiot.
The show has two story arcs, the first is of course SAO and the second is Alfiem online, im not even gonna talk about the second half of this show, it was so bad that if I had to choose between getting Ebola or watching that shitty second half again I think you know which one I would pick, and what makes matters worse is they could of seriously made this show good by not doing that and just using the 24 episodes to focus on SAO, but NOPE they had to cram SAO into the first 12 episodes and use Alfiem online for the other 12, i mean why? What purpose was there for doing this? what were they smoking when they tried doing this?
Did they all have an agreement and said YEP! LETS NOT WAIT TIL SEASON 2 TO DO ALFIEM ONLINE! INSTEAD LETS CRAM AS MUCH SHIT INTO 24 EPISODES AS WE POSSIBLY CAN!! IT'S GENIUS!! GENIUS I TELL YOU!!
Sigh, oh well im done, fuck it, im moving on.
Art:
it was good, I mean what do you want me to say? it wasn't bakemonogatari good that's for sure but it wasn't terrible or anything, anyways yeah Asuna's ass got me a little turned on a few times so I guess they did pretty good on that.
Sound:
Probably the best part, I really like the music in this anime! Also character voices are good and shit, but idgaf about that, i just like the soundtrack.
Characters:
One word, Generic.
Seriously the characters are just so damn dull, I just couldn't like them at all. Kirito is seriously the most over rated MC in all of history, he looks just like your average harem protagonist and yet everyone loves this guy so much? why? what's so special about him? because he's good at videogames? I guess that's why everyone loves Kirito so much.
Then there are all the other none important characters they try to get you to care about, about the only good character at first was Asuna until the second half she turned into fuckin Rapunzel and had to be saved by our generic protag.
Enjoyment:
I found nothing good about this show except the wonderful soundtrack, other than that it was an awful experience and I hope the people who are actually reading this review will heed my warnings and not watch this failed abortion.
My overall score 3/10
