Indeed the plot eventually focuses on Kirito x Asuna which is rather pathetic, and I would've rather seen it go somewhere along the lines of more intense plot. The second half is pretty pointless too.

However, the animation and art is above average and it's very good to look at, making the action scenes very spectacular. Kirito is also being portrayed as both a chick magnet and the most overpowered player in the game, which is also done pretty well.

All in all I'd say it is worth watching.
You see, this is how you properly critique something.
Snape's is a fine one as well at least in given reason
Can't say much for Dou.

I wouldn't watch anything past episode 14 if I were you.

There are 2 arcs in SAO , first one goes well and it is fun but second one goes a bit downhill.
If you like video games and more particularly, MMORPGs then you will definitely love this show.

It depends on what kind of anime you enjoy. There's plenty of action and the animation is crisp, but the story is not necessarily it's strongest point. From what I hear, the anime leaves out quite a bit of detail so consider reading the manga if you like the series.

Check it out if you like the .hack series, or if you've got a weekend with nothing to do.

Try watching Log Horizon, or the .Hack// series both featuring people who go into the MMO world.
As for Sword Art Online, give it the 3 episode rule, if you like what you see continue watching, if not dont bother.

i watched it and i liked it
the second part might be not as good as the first but is definitely worth watching and far from horrible
and if you want some recommendation on animes i would really suggest that you watch Steins Gate if you havent already

Don't waste your time with it. The plot turns to shit and the characters get no development.

Watch Attack on Titan instead

No, it is crappy Shounen that has a storyline that a 4 year old could write. It is full of pathos, and it's trash. Watch it if you're into that kind of shit, otherwise dismiss it.​

lol pretty much this .

The first 14 episodes are great. After that, it turns to poop. Overall, I would say not to watch it. It's much overhyped. Instead, watch Yu Yu Hakusho or Hunter x Hunter 2011. Both are very well done and have great animation (YYH was done in the 90s, but the animation still isn't bad) and fight scenes.

STFU everyone has different opinions and luckily you're in the minority.

OT: It's an amazing anime worth the watch. :)

Don't mind anyone else, focus on what you'd like to see of it. It's a great anime, with extraordinary animation and soundtrack. It's one of the best anime i have watched. It's definitely worth the watch ;)
