Here is my review of Sword Art Online II
Abstract: After having reviewed the first set I could not review this one.
We start from the plot:
The plot is similar to the first setting in the sense that occurs in games augmented reality Full-Dive and in particular in two games: GGO and New ALO that also includes New Aincrad.
I will not dwell too much about the plot to avoid spoilers.
Attention from here may be spoilers.
Characters:
I state that I will speak only of the new because I think it is impossible not to know Kirito and Asuna if it has come to see Sword Art Online II. So:
- Sinon: a girl like that character is really interesting both as history and as a skill as it is a great sniper skills even defined infallible. As for the character as a character is very particular, we start from the fact that from small had a trauma that leads to psychological problems also in time in which there is the series that is many years forward to the time of the incident, that the will also have a desire to find the true strength that she sees in Kirito after a fight he has with him but we do not go into detail to allow even those who have not seen the series to read this review.
- Yuuki: a girl who has a serious health problem that is the basis of the narrative arc Mother's Rosary but even here we remain vague to allow anyone to read the review. It' s'a very strong sword fighter and will have a very strong bond with a particular character in the series.
Considerations of characters:
- Kirito: design of Kirito of GGO I loved it as very innovative and I was also impressed by his use of the sword, which shown in a series of stunning animations gives indescribable sensations! As for its design in New ALO is fantastic, much to compete with that of Aincrad, I personally do not know between the two to choose! The new swords are truly magnificent, the Holy Sword Excalibur particularly impressed me but the Long Sword is epic!
- Asuna: i prefer her with orange hair in ALO But even with blue hair is very comfortable and the rapier very nice and especially also his being "Healer" is innovative and I like it, it adapts to his new side of the character we are shown in this second series, very different from that his strong side that shines in the first series!
- Sinon: look good, I liked it a lot as a female character and its contrasting character in real and in GGO makes it adorable. His skills have impressed me and it's really nice to see a sniper in souls mostly done so well as a character and a story very interesting.
- Yuuki: I did not like as much character but even I was disappointed, his story is very moving and tears a few tears, for those most sensitive to prepare. Moreover, its presence is things that are also connected to reality, you will understand seeing, and which are shown in a very beautiful and meaningful.
Consideration on arcs:
GGO:
My favorite in this series, very different from the usual with a psychological side beautiful, intriguing and painstakingly detailed with a twist that you never expect, and other small twists! The speeches are significant and interesting, do not ever get bored. The fighting shows especially Kirito Vs Death Gun, and a portion in particular makes me shudder and stunned! Definitely fantastic. The resolution is very significant and at times very moving moving!
Caliber:
Only three episodes, I was skeptical but I was very impressed especially the fighting and new skills Kirito, explained well and intriguing addition to some revenue in scene Asuna and Sinon and the beats of Klein with his behavior always unpredictable! A dose of laughter mixed with fighting beautiful and epic legends evoked in the form of souls. Very nice! Also the beautiful "Holy Sword Excalibur"
Mother's Rosary:
Very different from all the story arcs ever presented by SAO and very moving, focused on Asuna Yuuki and often leaves the sadness in my heart but leaves a beautiful memory and above all so much emotion in addition to talk about subjects that just are treated, argued with a feel incredibly suitable to keep it from weighing too much while telling things as they really are! Beautiful and moving, if you have the tear easily as I prepared handkerchiefs!
Conclusions:
Sequel beautiful, loved by many and very special, with character design and much improved graphics more than excellent!
Keeps you glued to the screen and makes you want more and new episodes and never disappoints expectations!
Final rating:
I was torn between 9:10 as it was a 9.5 but graphically made me point to 10.
So the final grade 10 and and recommended to all.
