Summary: |
The only way to escape is to 'clear' the game. Death in game means actual 'death' ----
The ten thousand who have logged onto the as of yet mysterious game 'Sword Art Online' using their Nerve Gear have been forced into this perilous death game and are trapped inside.
Protagonist Kirito, one of the many gamers, has greeted this 'truth'.
He plays as a solo player in the giant castle that is the stage for this game ---- 'Aincrad'.
To meet the conditions of clearing the game and leaving this twisted virtual world, he must get through all 100 floors. Will Kirito have what it takes to clear the game, or will he die trying? |

I don't remember looking forward each week to a new anime episode as much as I've looked forward to SAO. I really resisted beginning this series because I'd heard so much about it and I didn't want to get started before the episodes had finished airing... only to be stuck waiting week after week to watch a single episode at a time.
But after watching the final (?) episode last night I can honestly say it was worth it.
Even though I've just finished watching this series, I already want to go back and watch it again... the mix of fantasy and reality is so good. The way the show plays up the notion that who you are in a virtual world reflects who you really are as a person was eye-opening and insightful. Combined with the fact that the actions they took in a virtual world had real-life consequences really added to the level of tension.
As already evidenced, there will be lots and lots of positive reviews for SAO now that the series has wrapped up but I wanted to add my thoughts as well...
If you are in any way on the fence about watching this series, don't be. SAO is destined to be one of the anime series you will look back on years from now and reminisce with fondness that you were glad to have been alive to have been a part of something so amazing...

Ugh. "Evil is good" trope making its way into yet another anime. Oh, a nun saying that as long as the demon and the others...
