It started off good, and the anime was pretty. But that's all I can say that is positive. An animes art shouldn't be what stops you enjoying it, or makes you enjoy it. It should be the story, the characters, their development and how well the anime fits into it's category whether action, romance or other that helps you determine whether an anime is a masterpeice or a pile of crap.
Kazuto, or Kirito, acts like the deaths of hundreds of people effects him, and yet he didn't offer them any knowledge he had obtained when playing the game previously, which would have increased their chances of survival massively.
However, I think that the worst part of this anime is the 'romance' aspect. I didn't see anything build. Just because it occurred later in the series, doesn't mean it built, it just means it happened later in the series. One minute Asuna and Kirito were just in the same team, then BAM they're married and having a girl call them mummy and daddy. It went from an action anime one moment, to a really crappy romance that lacked any real character development.
I wouldn't recommend it, to anyone in all honestly. Well, unless they like an anime that can't make up it's mind.
