In short (and without spoiling anything), it's about the lives of people playing a virtual reality MMORPG with some very "high stakes" rules (outlined in the first episode). We follow the journey of one particular player, Kirito, and the various people he meets along the way. If you've played any MMORPGs, a lot of the elements will seem familiar to you. It has elements of science fiction, fantasy, action, drama, and hints of romance.
Whether it's good or not... well, I like it anyway, and it seems to have a fair bit of popularity. But the only way to find out is to try it for yourself. It streams on Crunchyroll.
