My heart belongs in the first arc of the series. I grew up playing mmorpg's and I've met amazing people who till this day I am still friends with. I can see someone not liking this anime if they can't relate to the feeling that this show gives off. I tried putting myself into my girlfriends shoes and thought how she would have seen the anime. Boring, slow, average story. These are all things I can imagine since I know she wouldn't relate as well as I did to the show. It's really a matter of being able to enjoy the emotions and content given, which is a lot easier to if you can relate to it.

The story is straight forward and gives a clear goal which isn't such a bad thing. A lot of shows coming out try to over-complicate the story line in order to create something "original". In this case, the story was simple but with many tragic twists. The anime was very successful with their simple story since it gave of such an amazing vibe compared to other simpleton story lines.

Watching this took me back many year to a lot of great memories that I've had in game and in real life. I even teared a little during some of the romantic scenes cause they reminded me of how I was with a certain girl. Overall this anime combined two things I love and made something great to relate to, even after so many years has passed since I've had those memories.

Overall trying to make a review for this anime is out of this question. You would simply have to watch it in order to get a clear understanding of the emotions and feelings expressed. Hate it or love it, I loved SAO and the memories it brought back to me.
