Irishchatter From episode 1 to 14, I really enjoyed the medival vibe from this anime. I honestly wish it didn't have to have such a sudden shift of location for the players to be trapped into instead of ending at just the medical world. I mean they were meant to "clear" the game within the medival world and get out alive but instead, have to go to another world as well to actually get out. Its just really confusing and totally out of sync for me on that respect...Anyways putting that aside, Kazuto and Asuna were actually pretty good teammates. Kazuto is such an intelligent gamer and pretty much a likeable one too! Asuna is like the girl who takes whatever she gets and she's pretty much a badass as well! I honestly did not expect them to kiss at the end, normally in anime I know what couples are going to be matched up or should be matched up, not Kazuto and Asuna. I don't know what to say about them as such but good for them to being a couple lol!This anime was good to watch but the background setting in my opinon, shouldn't be all over the shop. That's the pretty much exact reason why I'm only giving this anime a 7/10...

hydrothesquid In multiple episodes characters will be shown in outfits that reveal cleavage but this does not bother parents. If you are like me and grew up in a home where your parents think anything slightly inappropriate is wrong to watch until adulthood than you will understand what i am about to say. Later in the series asuna is about to be raped and has her clothes torn off, but a parent needs to look past this because it is played to show the sickness of people and though the guy is then brutally killed parents won't care about the violence but when they see "attempted rape" they will think of it differently so i plead to any parents reading this review, if your child wants to watch this show, then let them.

vectorequinox SAO is an anime about a teen-aged boy who gets stuck in an MMO. Though this could be a good subject, the lack of character development coupled with the stupidity of the manufactured drama leaves this a dull lifeless husk of a show. If you want to see a really bad teen drama with some decent fight scenes then this still won't do. The fight scenes are dull and the animation looks nice but belongs in a drama not a fighting show. Oh, and the less I mention the alfheim arc the better.

rogofer This anime has a special place between my favorite animes. That's mainly for the things it made me feel. I agree with most of the other reviews, the first arc is the best by a huge difference but I also enjoyed the rest of the show. I recommend that you try and watch the first 8 episodes. If you don't like it, stop there and try another one.
