planned to not become a spoiler this time.
many people (even me) who didn't know what it was about was thought of game online instead of anime when someone mentioned 'Sword Art Online'
because of this long holiday, i able to watch the complete series of this anime
this story is about japan in 2020, where technologies going amazing and online gamers usually playing with a nerve gear, a transmitter that allows them to go inside the game world and playing there just like in the real world. maybe something like 4D...
the story beginning about a boy called Kirito in game. he was a one of beta testers of SAO before this game open for public, so basically he knows more than another gamers.
but, an unexpected incident happen.
when he was enjoying SAO with his new friend he met, suddenly they realize that the logout button disappear from the menu.
and they were transported to the main town where the game master showed, Kayaba Akihiko, the one that made this game and also the nerve gear.
he said all the players are told they must complete all 100 floors of the floating castle continent they're on in order to escape the game. by the time one of thousands players completed the game, the logout button will appear.
the caveat is that all the human player's brains are hooked up to a full immersion virtual reality system called nerve gear. therefore, if a player dies once in the virtual world, the microwave signals in the helmet will destroy the player's brains in the real world.
thus, begins an adventure of survival, teamwork, and treachery that features over 6000 unique players.
my favorite character here is Kirito. it surprised me because usually my favorite character of anime is the girls. I like Asuna, but Kirito catch my heart.
there's a scene when the biggest guild held a meeting to clear the dungeon. they were already reach floor 56. instead of joining them to clear the dungeon, Kirito were just took a nap below the tree. then Asuna reached him.
Asuna : "The other lead group are all working hard to clear the dungeon. Why are you out here take a nap? Even if you're a solo player you need to be serious!" (looks angry)
Kirito : (still closing his eyes) "Its Aincrad's nicest season, and today is its nicest weather setting. Entering a dungeon on a day like this is such a waste."
Asuna : "Do you not understand? Every day we spend here is one we've lost in the real world."
Kirito : "But right now, we're alive here in Aincrad."
the wind blows Asuna's hair and the grass.
Kirito : "See? The wind and sunlight feels so good"
he had same way of thinking with me. enjoying what we have to deal with, but still do the very best to solve the problems.
overall this anime was good. except the stories moving too fast. I sometimes rewind the episodes just to make sure i'm watching the right lines, because it seems like there's lot of missing links. i am planned to download this light novel and read it thru my phone.
i hope the light novel will satisfy my thirst of their complete plot.
i'm not recommended this for anyone who never played MMORPG. since basically the story is about MMO, for who never played this story will be really hard to understand.
