Sword Art Online

One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now...

Thoughts from a lunatic watching SAO in 2022
Appreciating SAO for it's innovation and influence, despite it's many shortcomings
Sword Art Online lives up to the nostalgia, but suffers from severe macguffin instead of actual narrative.
Sword Art Online, at its core, really is a story about love, morality and acceptance... until it isn't.
Do I like SAO... maybe. Is it good... read to find out more!
alright show but makes me uncomfortable half the time
Hardly the worst anime ever, and I'm left wondering, "Why did I even avoid it for so long?"
SAO's first half is the definition of wasted potential, and yet its the better half.

Half masterpiece, half caca
Disappointing, but a decent enough way to pass the time.
