Well, let's get on with the review.
The story get's a 6/10 from me. It's filled with cliches and goes way too fast (Yes, I know of the time constraint they have and such, though the show doesn't pay the LN justice). It's an interesting concept with the idea of a Death MMO kind of thing, but I never liked how everyone didn't ask many questions and hopped on the bandwagon, and how there isn't very much interference form the real world.
The art and sound are both 8/10s for me. It's good, goes well with the mood and theme of the places, and overall looks and sounds great.
The characters get a 6/10. Main characters are supposed to be somewhat relatable and likable, and I can't see very many things in Kirito that I can like about him, and the other characters are easily forgettable and come in and out of the show. Nonetheless, there still is tons of time for character improvement, but first impressions are the MOST IMPORTANT things in an anime/game/show/book, etc, even more so important that some of the endings. If things about characters aren't captivating in the beginning, it's a skip for me.
The enjoyment is 7/10 for me and overall, a 6/10. It's a fair show, but meh, there are lots better.
