I was gonna wait till i finished watching the whole series before starting this topic, but i’m enjoying it so much that my brain will explode if i don’t let something out 🤩🤯 So here’s my review and thoughts of what i’ve watched so far:
SAO
Season 1, the beginning of it all, what happens if humans get stuck in a videogame with no way out?? The first episode or 2 i was a little confused, but it didn’t take long at all for the story to capture me, the series has great characters, cool ass battles, and some unexpected twist, my favorite character’s Kirito, despite all the chaos in the SAO game he still manages to be a fun and relatable character
SAO II
One of my favorite things about SAO and SAO II is how each part of the series brings you into a different character’s backstory, it’s a great way to flesh out characters in a way that also compliments the storytelling, and if i could relate to Kirito personality-wise (though i am a little more hot-headed than him 😅), Asuna’s the character i can relate to most family-wise, specificly her mom, who reminds me way too much of some of my family members, mine and Asuna’s family situations almost mirror eachother, so not only can i really relate to her, but i also feel for her. As a mega Star Wars fan, i love that in GGO Kirito has a freaking lightsaber 🤩 As for the season finale, that ending, yeah, i drowned in my own tears 😭
SAO Alternative Gun Gale Online
This is the one thing i didn’t like about SAO, i couldn’t get thru half and episode of this, felt way too slow and i couldn’t connect at all to the main character, and i’m also quite bummed ’cause i loved GGO in SAO II and wanted to see more of it
SAO Ordinal Scale movie
The movie’s a little slower paced than the series, but nontheless it delivers an interesting story, this time bringing virtual reality into the real world 😁
SAO Alicization
After the first intriguing AF episode, the next couple of episodes where a bit of a drop for me and i thought this season’s not gonna be as good as the first 2, how bloody wrong i was, ’cause this season is freaking amazing! Once all the pieces of the puzzle are laid out, this season deep dives into human psychology, morality, and munipulation, it also takes up the gore factor by 100 which i both appreciate and am absolutely disgusted and disturbed by, and that’s a little bit of my psychology 🤪
I have not yet watched season 4 and am half way thru season 3 (when they meet Cardinal), so please DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING!
Who else here likes Sword Art Online? 😸🗡
