Sword Art Online

credit

Today I will review an old anime called Sword Art Online. It's an anime that was suggested by my niece, as she's an anime lover, and so am I. This is a science fiction anime, which is my favorite genre. There are adventurous elements, and we also get to see some action. I have only watched season 1, and it was a really good journey. For that reason, I am here to introduce you all to this anime.

In the trailer, it is explained that people are wearing gear to enter a virtual world, and those who are playing cannot lose their HP; if they do, they will die in real life as well. To make an exit, the players must clear the game, and our main protagonist is a boy named Kirito. There's also another character, a girl named Asuna. The trailer looked amazing; I understood the story, and I really wanted to watch it after seeing the trailer, as I have never seen anything like this before. This is nothing like the old stories, and although this anime is very old, it was thoughtful to make an anime like this.

Review

This anime is outstanding and beyond imagination, with a fantastic storyline and strong characters. The female lead is as strong as our male lead, which was really good to see, as we don't often see female leads being strong enough. This is a great anime to start with and something to end with. As the anime is based on a game, which is the most interesting part, we get to see so many cool features. When I watched this anime, I imagined playing a game like this too. This didn't feel like just a game but a war against the game developer. People getting trapped in a game is really scary; if something like that happened in real life, it would be really crazy.

I feel lucky enough to experience an anime like this. I really don't care about the ratings of the anime; in my honest opinion, I would give it 10/10, as it's the best anime I have watched so far. The intro and outro had really good music, which fascinates me. There were some parts where I laughed and some where I felt emotional. It was too good to handle.

Thanks for Reading
