Okay Firstly I'm just going to say to people that don't understand the story on why they skip so many floors, and only go to the boss battles and stuff. Also why Kirito is strong straight away.
Well if you think about it, people who like this anime must have the experience of playing MMO type games; because in my own opinion if your going to watch this anime you must have interest in games, if not don't even bother watching because you will get bored. I play many MMO games that is why I love this anime so much.
Anyway's, the reason why they creator skips is maybe because he doesn't want the viewers to get bored. Furthermore when you have experience on MMO games, levelling up can take as long, as you want. So if he didn't 'Skip' he would not have met the target of 25 episode's. If your wondering why he just aimed for 25 episode, is either he is a new creator or he just wants 25 episodes :D.
now back to my review.
Story- 9:
I scored this '9' because its the second anime based on MMO RPG games, which I really liked. Furthermore it's actually so amazing how he came up with a game which your life depends on. Having the story skip is not really a main problem, because MMO RPG are massive worlds so you wont expect those characters to keep meeting each other, if they did that would be really be stupid and it would destroy the meaning of "MMO". If you guys are wondering why not give episodes of how the characters levelled up, well like I said if they did that it won't meet the target of 25 episodes and that it would look like fillers. Though I would have made the story 10/10 if they hadn't done a random Evil Person in the start of the episode, (the Game Master dude) when he made his appearance well that made me say "Dafuq?" well not that its a big problem, it was just that those kind of things (Evil People appearing telling them that you will die here) is too commonly used. :L so yeah.
Art: 8
The art is amazing, It is so good Why? because it just what I would call Fairy tale art, because its a world with floating islands. The reason why I rated it 8 and your probably like "Wow Floating Island" in a sarcastic way, the only way to find out is to draw it yourself and you'll see just how hard it is to think about how big the island is and what it is going to have inside. The monster though are the one that gave it 8 instead of 9, because the monster seemed to be so similar to the monster in "Ragnarok Animation" so I'm not really amazed about that. I'm not saying that all the monster are similar.
The character look cool, having guild armours and stuff Kirito I think looks the coolest. But yeah that's all I have to say I just think everything is cool.
Sound: 8
yeah the voice actors are good and totally match there character, they have chosen the characters for this anime very well and I think all the need to improve is to get a better battle music :D.
Character: 9
I think I have covered that in the Art section.
Enjoyment: 9
lets just say when I saw the first episode I went crazy for the next episode.
Overall: 9
I said that at the start. Sorry for this fail review but yeah I'm in a rush right now cause I'm going abroad.
