First of all I watched Sword Art Online a few years ago and back then I knew it was one of the top anime's and I told myself I had to watch it. At the time I thought SAO was flawless, but when I take more then the art and soundtracks I realize that it's not as great as I once thought. The main story I'm sure all of you know by now so I won't bother explaining, going onto the reason I gave SAO a 5 is because the supposed main purpose is to defeat all 100 floors but then Kirito meets Asuna. For a short amount of time in the game Asuna and Kirito become real close and of course leads to their relationship. I personally think it was rushed and kind of ruined the story of SAO, the first few episodes were okay. Plus every girl character had some sort of crush on Kirito, and it turned into a huge romance thing. Getting to Alfheim was about Kirito, Asuna and Kirito's sister (cousin). It basically focused on Kirito helping Asuna and Kirito's cousin sister (I honestly don't remember) feelings for Kirito.
I don't have any problems with the characters so I'll leave that topic.
I don't regret watching SAO but I am a little disappointed with how it turned out into the end. That's my review and I hope it was useful.
