Summary: The only way to escape is to 'clear' the game. Death in game means actual 'death' ----

The ten thousand who have logged onto the as of yet mysterious game 'Sword Art Online' using their Nerve Gear have been forced into this perilous death game and are trapped inside.

Protagonist Kirito, one of the many gamers, has greeted this 'truth'.
He plays as a solo player in the giant castle that is the stage for this game ---- 'Aincrad'.

To meet the conditions of clearing the game and leaving this twisted virtual world, he must get through all 100 floors. Will Kirito have what it takes to clear the game, or will he die trying?

pros
+ fast and furious first arc
+ interesting side characters
+ pretty good animation and classic music
cons
- jumpy first arc with plot holes, and don't get me started on that second arc
- stereotypical main character
- a helluva lot of bugs

conclusion: here i go, with the most overhyped anime of the past year. heck, it wasn't even so bad back when it started, fast and furious, reminding me a bit much of .hack and hxh greed island, but at least good. the animation's up-to-date, never mind a good couple bugs (background animation, frames); the music is yuki kajiura so no more needs to be said about it; and where the storyline jumped around from sidetrack to sidetrack far too much for my taste, at least the side characters were quite interesting. then that arc finished at around half of the anime, and it started going downhill. the first arc had left rather huge plot holes, and if that wasn't bad enough, the second arc became far too predictable and un-developed for my liking. most side characters were barely seen again; the online world (though new, since it had changed halfway through) never got explored much; and it became increasingly more obvious just how stereotypical and unrealistic, a.k.a. unrelatable, the protagonist was. and his rather unbelievable love life doesn't exactly help.
it's entertaining sure enough if you care more about action and animation than about plot, since the action is there and very in-game-ish. nevertheless, if story is the focus of your reviews, or would be right that if you ever got around to writing a review, i can't recommend this one.

peace.
