I just finished Sword Art Online.
This contains spoilers somewhat.
In the first arc, which, for the love of God it actually is SAO, I was in love with the whole thing. Absolutely every part of it.
And then there's ALO which stuffs over all my ideals and what I liked about the show.
Love between Kirito and Asuna? Nope forget that, let's make half of the arc being about his sister. And the ending is literally stupid. I had more scenes of Kirito adoring Asuna in the first arc. In the last episode I don't think they physically have any significant interaction, not to mention that the anime itself ends with Kirito and his sister. Really dissapointed on the second arc. I don't like the new virtual world, and I didn't really like the guardians part well. The guardians part relied on a Deux Ex Machina which is the first time I actually noticed this in a show and realized how much it can just ruin everything (again). I wished for a really lovey-dovey ending between Kirito and Asuna, or for Asuna not to be such a lollipop princess in the second arc, which also included a lot of fanservice.. of what.. WELL HIS SISTER OF COURSE.
forget THIS SHOW.
