Sword Art Online

I was finding a good anime which won't make me bored after first episode and Sword Art Online kept me interested even after reading the Synopsis. It was released on 2012 and ranked #16 on animecrazy.net . I always find animeczazy's rankings are accurate and match me well. Sword Art Online has a good art and interesting story. The Sound OST is good and I really like it.

The first few episodes don't have much of love and mostly an introduction on the visual world's rules and how did all the players cope with the life. It's quite a rush that I felt a lot of things are squeezed into the first few episodes.

There are flaws and not perfect but it's definitely enjoyable. This anime might not be good for adults because it has a lot of imaginary stuffs and not realistic. The anime is somewhat tragic in the beginning as they were kept captive in the game and I like the idea. They don't have much love scene as they are fighting with the level boss every day. It's a bad romance between Kirito and Asuna.

The first half has a great potential but the second half seems just filling to answer most of the questions but I'm glad they make second half as I'm the type who just love happy endings. If you are looking for more realistic one, I would not suggest this anime. This anime is more suited for teens and MMO fans.

The main characters Kirito and Asuna both are talented strong players and lovely couple. Okay I don't wanna spoil anymore than this. If you wanna read spoilers, click the link below.
