Ever wake up on a boring day, feeling angst for no apparent reason? Fret not that's the curse of everyone who shames this modern day masterpiece. Sword Art Online is a story about 14-15 year old boy, named Kazuto Kirigaya simply nicknamed Kirito, who happens to be one of the lucky few to test out a newly made, much anticipated game known as Sword Art Online. Whats the appeal of SAO you might ask? Apart from being one of the most amazing games ever it was also a full dive VRMMORPG.

There will be minor spoilers so do continue with caution

Characters(9.5/10)
Undoubtedly one of the major attractions of SAO comes from its broad range of amazing Characters, Kirito being an edgy protagonist , is a complaint many people point out, but be honest are we really here for the main character? Course not. On July 2012 we were blessed with a person whom I can only describe as a waifu far superior to insert your waifu name here, yes she is none other than Asuna Yuuki herself. People call her shallow and boring, those are the same people who jerk off to 177013, we call them 'sick bastards who have no taste' or 'haters' for short. When I look at Asuna, i see a fantastic cook, a beautiful blonde, a thicc lady and most importantly a caring and sweet wife. Also people don't like Suguha because she likes her brother? Aren't you sick fucks the ones who read incest doujin all night? Plus her boobs are really big so i suggest you focus on such important things rather than her 'personality'. I find a spark in every character but i still cannot give it a 10 because of the existence of Yui, I genuinely have no idea why Reki Kawahara though we would enjoy some useless A.I. interrupting our Kirisuna fanservice, like what are you thinking man.

Story(10/10)
The main concept was fabulous and I genuinely think it maintained that all the way from Aincrad to ALfheim, I know its not one of the most well written or dramatic stories out there, neither does it have fantastic plot twists, but lets be real does a show really need to be those things to be good? No it does not. It does not send us to figure stuff out for our self but it still manages to keep us hook through ever episode. Its for the light watchers who prefer not to be critical about every little plot hole, and rather enjoy the show for its appeals.

Animation(10/10)
SAO had really fluid animations, A-1 Pictures put a lot of love into making this show. The fight scenes were stunning, the character movements where fluid and everything just felt right.

Artstyle(10/10)
I adore the character designs in SAO, Asuna is beautiful, she is a literal goddess in human skin. Kirito is alright but no titties till season two so hes just average. Suguha well lets just say if you marry her, you won't need to buy milk ever again. The design of the landscape in Aincrad as well as ALfheim was also exquisite, we really got to see the divine art during the Kirisuna honeymoon if you'd like a reference.

Soundtrack(10/10)
The openings were made my LiSA herself, and they are splendid and much deserving to be an opening to such an elite anime. The OSTs are so gripping, tearful and nostalgic that i can't help but brand it as one of the best existing OSTs in anime history. The endings are beautiful, its as if Aphrodite herself made a baby with a song sung by Hermes.

Enjoyment(10/10)
SAO was the first anime I ever watched, and I do not regret re-watching it several times. It's not simple nostalgia that I gain from it, but I think I really fell in love with this one of a kind anime.

Overall(59.5/60)
I enjoy everything about this anime and I am really excited to see SAO: Progressive bring back my favourite arc(Aincrad) in the eyes of the queen herself, I have no complaints SAO is the best anime ever.
