Sword Art Online... I've got a love/hate relationship with this one.
I was interested in the premise of this show since I'm an avid MMO player and, for the most part, it was a fun watch...as long as I ignore the existance of the ALO arc.
The Aincrad arc was pretty good. Not without its flaws, but it was a fun watch: While the "plot" wasn't really that great, the characters were likeable enough, the music entertaining and the setting was believable. Though I could've done without the "tension" they tried to make us feel whenever Kirito's health was in the red. As if they'd let the main guy die.
And when he finally kicked the bucket... he didn't. So much for "people die when they are killed".
Never been one for Deus Ex Machinas.
Still, as far as the Aincrad arc's concerned, SAO got a 7/10 from me.
As for ALO... ahhh... I dropped it after a couple episodes. IMHO it lacked everything that made SAO good. Especially when folks feel the need to shove breasts in my face every other minute to keep my attention on the screen.
