The series beautifully captured the feelings behind MMORPGs while also raising interesting considerations about virtual reality. I felt that it kept the excitement high throughout the series. While the shift from Sword Art Online to ALfheim Online was a bit jarring (particularly the lead heroine swap from Asuna to Sugu), it was no less enjoyable to watch. This is the first series that I've seen in a long time where I was worry to finish the last episode and know that there were no more adventures to see with those characters in that setting. I ranked it 10/10.
