Link Start!!!!

A great anime show with two great singers for opening song. can you feel the heat of awesomeness ?? XD

this anime is clearly divided into two separate "place" and story progression or we simply called it arc

the First arc is all about surviving in a virtual reality game that if you die in that game,you will also die in real world.

the Second arc is about a hero who tries to save his girlfriend who was still trapped in the virtual reality game but on a different game.

the First arc begin with a boy who accidently gets a paper cut named Kirigaya Kazuto wearing a helmet named Nerve Gear and insert a "game card" before lying on a bed and say "link start" to enter the game world.

but who would expect, a normal day in the game or should i say Aincrad. would become a game between life and death when people can't log out from the game and were gathered in a place

the Floating Castle, Aincrad

Kirito's original avatar

wait Kirito? who is Kirito?
Kirito is Kirigaya Kazuto in-game name xD but after the event where they gathered, Kirito's appearance has become similar to his real world appearance

in-game, he was one of the many beta testers that were also trap in that game and other players hate the beta testers because beta testers played the game earlier thus having more experience to survive

his identity of being beta tester revealed after finishing the the First floor Dungeon Boss with a group that was formed temporarily to fought the Boss

Kirito decided to claim himself "beater" when he said he is the one that had clear many floor than any other beta testers to protect the other beta testers from getting blamed thus making him a solo player while others pair up to fight

the First Floor Dungeon Boss fight scene

as the story progress, we were introduced with several characters

Klein

Asuna
first arc appearance(right)
second arc appearance(left)

Agil

Silica

Lisbeth

but there's one duel that lead Kirito to be suspicious of a certain player where Kirito nearly slash the characters head to claim victory but a split second shield blocks the attack

to make things more intresting, Kirito obtain a very rare sword skills and finish the Dungeon Boss all by himself when the Boss changes its attack pattern(every Dungeon Boss changes its attack pattern when the HP decreases at a certain point)

long story shorts, Kirito able to spot the final boss which is the Game Creator himself(the one who disable the log out option and turn the game into deadly game) at 75th floor and were offered to duel against G.C and able to exit the game if Kirito succeed in finish the G.C off

just straight to the point, Kirito wins XDDDDD

but Asuna did not wake up from coma although most of the SAO survivors had recoverd from their "long sleep" which lead Kirito to enter another game called Alfheim Online(ALO) after Agil leaks an information from the players who played it saw a girl figure look like Asuna on top of Yggrasil Tree(in Norse Mythology, World Tree)

and off we go to world of fairies~~
(seriously though, at first the only thing i  can think of fairies is peter pan and what it is called again...... winx club?? XDDD and yeah i can't accept that XD)

is that you Kirito??
yup he is Kirito but in ALO

in ALO, Kirito is particularly just want to go to Yggrasil and find Asuna, its like "one way only" misssion XD

he didn't even bother about his in-game stats and achievement and went full out to those who stands in his way although he actually don't have to care about it XD why? he still had his in-game stats and item from the old SAO but most of the item are unabled to load XDDD

in ALO not much of character introduction but the important part is Kirito met Leafa xD

Leafa

and like in SAO(*tired* xD) Kirito overwhelm an experienced player with his swordsmen like in the SAO and bla bla bla XDDDD

ouch XDD this was one of quest Kirito took to reach to the top of Yggrasil but the GM has set the difficulty to impossible but thanks to other players and Yui, Kirito managed to sneak through the gate and reunite with Asuna

BUT...... the GM spotted Kirito and stab Kirito until Kirito can't move at all. Leaving Kirito on the floor with his own sword stabbed at behind, the GM then starts to harass and ripped Asuna making Kirito burst into rage and fight head on with the GM

im gonna skip the ending because don't wanna spoil the feels afterwards XDDD

though i also skip some of the scene i think it deserves for suprise XDDD

oh note that Sinon is not in this anime,she only appears on the later arc and a video game called "Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment" on PS Vita 

Sinon
uses arrow as her weapon

so my summary for this Anime is........
I seriously Recommend you this Anime
-Good Story
-no ecchi scene which makes it great for youngsters to watch (though 2-3 fanservice scene is there for humor )
-got some feels to it(not that strong feels)

-the goose bumps you get when watching Kirito went full out

and of course my "sticker of Approval" and a really huge thumbs up for this anime
