If you’re familiar with World Of Warcraft it won’t be hard for you to figure out what Sword Art Online is. That’s right, it’s a high-tech online RPG that allows you to transfer you consciousness inside the game and it’s sole purpose is to take you away from your meaningless boring life. The most philosophical line in this anime is, ”There’s nothing more boring than to watch someone else play a Role Playing Game” and ironically this anime requires you to do exactly that. Having said that I’ll admit that it’s not all that bad, the animation alone makes it worth watching.

The story is about ... a boy named Kirito who spends all his free time playing SAO and spends no time with his step sister/lover who lives downstairs. One day SAO’s creator also known as the game master traps all the gamers including Kirito inside SAO and makes sure no one can leave without finishing the game. Why, you ask? To fulfill his childhood fantasy. How, you ask? I guess you’ll have to watch it for that answer(It’s too complicated). Dying inside the game means dying in real life. Being a nerd Kirito turns out to be really good at the game and shortly gains a lot of attention. Later on he meets a girl named Asuna(A hot nerd, who’s also very good) and they fall in love. Thus begins a love story that’ll make most of the guys envious and so ‘irritating’ is the right word to describe it. Allied with a bunch of other nerds they work hard to finish the game to free everyone from the game master’s clutches. Most of the events in this anime sticks out as ridiculous but I’ll still say it’s innovative and rather amusing to watch.

Overall I’ll give this anime : 7.3
