Sword Art Online

I am in, freaking, love with this anime.
Here is a quick synopsis of the first season.
In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer
Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released
where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of
technology called Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as
the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of
the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game,
they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now...
Kinda sounds like a fucked up version of the Matrix, only in
anime form.

The show revolves around the player Kirito, a solo player
who was in the beta for the game. He meets up with another player named Asuna
(after a few filler episodes) and from there they grow closer as they try to
get back to the real world… Or so you’d think. Sword Art Online is amazing in
its character development, and story telling. I assumed that it would all be
about getting to the final floor and getting home, but SAO is like, “Yeah, we’ve
seen that before. Lets just make that a secondary concern.”
As Kirito and Asuna grow closer they meet up with others who
have decided to live happily trapped in the game. They too make themselves happy
in their virtual world, buying a house, getting married, having a kid (Ok, so
not really, but THAT is a really emotional episode.)
The music is catchy, and the fight scenes are awesome.
I
will not tell you anymore. Just go watch Sword Art Online. I, for one, cannot
wait to see more, and look forward to the next season.
