The story is about 10,000 players being stuck in a Virtual Reality MMO (VRMMO). Kirito, a black swordsman, and Asuna, the "Flash" goes on a journey to complete the game with other players.
The anime is really rushed compared to the light novel series. The light novel explains the details and the dialogue is not as short. The fighting sequences are one of the good points of the anime. However, the thing is it is quite rushed as well. The episodes are basically three chapters crammed together. As an avid reader, I believe this anime is not that great. The novels, imo, are much better and I would recommend it over the anime.
