Gamers only.
Spoilers ahead but who cares it's SAO.

TL;DR: watch Log Horizon instead, even No Game No Life was better than this aids

Let's start with the story (very epic). Kirito basically gets all the girls throughout SAO while cycling through who he should slam next. Sword Art Online, the game not the show, is basically a game in this show that made a bunch of epic gamers gets trapped in the game. The story is pretty awful in that it makes completely no sense. But since anime is already known for having unrealistic physics and stories, the story still makes no sense and won't be ... given the benefit of the doubt. The story can be split into three parts:

PPPPPART 1: The main character, Kirito, and about 10,000 other gamers get trapped into Sword Art Online. And if you die in the game, you die in real life. SAO took some inspiration from the Wachowski Sisters but made it a harem-fantasy. Kirito learns about the Sao world, even though he beta-tested for it. Kirito strives to fight people, monsters, and, gain companions.

PPPPPERFECT Part 2: Kirito picks up chicks and slays pussy and players trying to kill other players.

PPPPUSSY PUNCH Part 3: OH NO Kirito gets married in-game with his Minecraft girlfriend, Asuna and they have a child.
Kirito and an elite group of gamers take on Dark Souls Boss fights and get loot.

I've left out some details but I rather forget everything about the storyline.
SAO's Art and Sound are mediocre and don't add anything new. The art style is average but I have to say that the first opening was pretty good. The characters are pretty annoying. Kirito is the 'cool' and 'epic' protagonist whereas the other characters make him look even better or are trying to get in his pants. The other characters consist of gamer girls trying to be uwu but don't add any depth to the actual narrative. Characters and character development make movies and shows interesting, especially when done well. Sword Art Online did not have this. The main character stays badass till the end. Minor characters like Klein, a supporting character who deserved more time on screen, are cast away and replaced by other minor characters who will either be deserted or killed off. It is fine to introduce characters for the sole purpose of being killed later in a story. But how Sword Art Online does this is pathetic. This show introduced a character, Sachi, who attempted to make you fall in love with them, then killed them off. When a show does this, it will usually have the character doomed to die, develop and change leaving an impression on the audience, before killing them off. Sword Art Online introduced this character, then killed them within the span of two episodes.
Did I enjoy this show? Well, that is preeettty difficult to explain. I enjoyed this show while watching it, but simultaneously making fun of it and not taking it seriously. I think that this show is funny due to the many dumb moments this anime had. If this anime was ironic I would give it the benefit of the doubt, but seeing as there isn't a "comedy" tag, I will have to give this anime a 1. This show is another bad take on the Isekai genre absorbing the attention from other well-written and thought out isekai shows.

Also Klein is a homeboy but was probably taking Korito's pp hard behind the scenes.

Anyway fuck the police coming straight for kirito because i am 69% sure one of the hoes he smashed was like 12.
