SWORD ART ONLINE
The only way to live is to defeat all enemies. Death in the game means death in real life. With the Nerve Gear, ten thousand people plunge into a mysterious 'Sword Art Online' game, which is then confined to it, forced to engage in a mortal arena. Our main one, Kirito, one of the players, has realized this terrible 'truth'. He battles in a giant flying castle called 'Aincrad'. In order to complete the game and return to reality, he has to overcome 100 challenges. Can you do it or will you go to dust?
In the year 2022, the first Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, the Sword Art Online (SAO), was launched. Thanks to the Nerve Gear, a virtual reality hat can affect the user's five senses through their brain, allowing players to experience and control their virtual characters in mind.
On November 6, 2022, the player logs in for the first time and discovers they can not log out. They are then told by Kayaba Akihiko, the SAO creator, that if they want to be free they must reach the 100th floor of the tower and defeat the last boss. But if their characters die in the game, they will die in real life. The story is about Kirito, a high-level player determined to break the game. When the game started for two years, Kirito became friends with a female player named Asuna and he fell in love with her. After Kirito discovers Kayaba's identity in SAO, he confronts and defeats him in a duel, freeing himself and the other players from the game.
Upon returning to the real world, Kirito learns that Asuna and a small group of SAO players have not yet regained consciousness. Following up on Asuna's location in another VRMMORPG called Alfheim Online (ALO), Kirito also logged in. Helped by Suguha's younger sister, he discovers that the players caught in the ALO are part of Nobuyuki Sugou's illegal trial plan to control them including Asuna, whom he intends to marry. real estate to take over the company of her family.

I very like first season, one of best titles ever)
I am waiting for part 3 in 2018
Still one of my all time favourites, some people seem to dislike it for some reason but I loved it.
People like myself dislike it because of the lazy writing. Characters are quite shallow, Kirito has plot armour, Asuna is degraded to waifu status after the first arc, the story is basic, and the directing is mediocre at best. There are some people who hated it to try and be different, but there are enough people that recognise and take issue with all of its flaws that the community is very split.
I love it !
Kirito and Asuna create a great love story in the movie
What about Log Horizon???
Senpai, heres your smugvote.
