Sword Art Online is an anime adapted from light novel made by Kawahara Reki and illustrated by Abec which started in 2002 and has been adapted into anime, manga and video game. The anime itself takes the story from its novel. For season 1 from 25 episodes divided into 2 arcs, namely Aincrad arc (Sword Art Online) from episode 1-14 and Fairy Dance arc (Alfheim Online) from episode 15-25. And season 2 from 24 episodes in which there are 3 arcs, namely Gun Gale Online arc (GGO), Excalibur arc and Mother's Rosario arc.

SAO may take a theme that is quite unique and rather rare, because it takes the theme in the future, the popular game is an online game where players can go directly into the gaming world and move their character avatar like his own body, this is called "Full Dive" in VRMMORPG, Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. The theme of this kind of story that makes it one of the most popular anime of 2012, because it makes the audience (especially gamers) can imagine how fun if really there are games like that.

I think that SAO is the father of the fantasy genre because since its appearance, the anime of fantasy genre especially with the theme of parallel world began to appear. If we override the second season that draws criticism, but in its first season Sword Art Online is a masterpiece that changed many of the order in the anime world.

The theme in this anime is extraordinary interesting because it takes something that is very popular by almost everyone in the world namely a game. Yaaap, SAO tells of a virtual game world that so sophisticated where its players could live there using only a tool called Nerve-Gear. Obviously, this is a dream that is expected of all gamers because no game is more fun than games played by ourselves.



Kirito or Kirigaya Kazuto is a veteran in the SAO world because before the official version was released, he has been playing his beta. Until the year of inauguration there are so many people who follow this game. But that's where the nightmares appear for the players. Suddenly the log out button disappears so that thousands of players who are still there trapped in the game include Kirito himself. Of course, this is not something unintentional, because the Game Master was deliberately doing it in order to trap the players. This he did to make SAO game more interesting because people killed in that world will also be killed in the real world. So there is no way out except they can complete all the floors in SAO world.



Not only the storyline full of surprises and challenges, Sword Art Online also tells about the life of love story between Kirito and Asuna, and Suguha, Kirito's sister who plays as Leafa in online Alfheim who secretly likes Kirito.

The lack of this anime is a story of romance that is so thick that sometimes a bit boring for who loves adventure anime. In terms of animation and special effects, SAO unquestionable. SAO is one of the anime that has the best quality animation and special effects, especially from the artwork, the Virtual Reality world environment is smooth and detail, and the battle scene is practically very cool. Overall, Sword Art Online is a highly recommended anime, interesting storyline, has cool character, supported by special effects, animation and quality music score.
Do not forget the third season of sword art online will release this year. So do not forget to watch this anime guys!
