I've been hearing people talk about this show for years now. But would I be interested in it ??

My Questions :

- Are All the characters introduced useful in some way to the story and do they get sufficient development?
- Can the main character be Funny and Badass? Are they creative? Learn from their mistakes?
- Is there Sufficient Comedy and is it funny?
- Is the Story interesting and does it develop as the series progress?
- Is there Blood?
- Does everyone just fight with swords? (If so, I probably won't enjoy the fights very much)
- Is the setting unique?

I know the animation is probably great but I don't know whether this show is Interesting or Not.

The first 15 episodes are lovely. The rest is trash.

No, it is average at best. Dunno how this even got a big fanbase.

I only watched few episodes from the first season.

I heard that it gets all romantic and shit as it progresses. So I quit it.

Does the romance majorly impact the flow of the series?

If so then I'll probably not bother then.

Sword art online is great and I recommend it. Except Kirito is a bit of a loner but yeah it's a great anime

It does big time. Not in the second season tho. First season is good till Episode 15 like said above.

My Questions :

The characters are good, and introduced in a pretty cool way, so I pretty much liked the way they came into the story.

- Can the main character be Funny and Badass? Are they creative? Learn from their mistakes?

A bit from all of them. Some are a failure, some just keep mistaking, and some of them are simply dumb. I do like them though

- Is there Sufficient Comedy and is it funny?

There is a little bit of comedy and it is pretty funny. Quite the comic reliefs

- Is the Story interesting and does it develop as the series progress?

The series is still ongoing, but the way it goes on in the second part is pretty boring, while the second season is a whole lot better!!!

- Is there Blood?

There is a little bit of blood, but only for one fighting scene.

- Does everyone just fight with swords? (If so, I probably won't enjoy the fights very much)

First season they have only swords, bows, axes, second season has guns as well.

- Is the setting unique?

It is ony of the most unique I hjave seen, and I really enjoy it a lot!!!

Hmmm......Does the second season improve the quality of the series or Not ?

Ok...Then I'll... probably give the series a go. And see how things are :)

However, I'm still somewhat on the bench.
