I finally started Sword Art Online and it’s pretty enjoyable!


I finally started Sword Art Online and it’s pretty enjoyable!

So I finally finished watching the first arc of Sword Art Online, the Aincrad arc! I initially thought I'd watch the entire first season before sharing my views, but the first arc was long enough on its own to warrant a solid discussion.

​To start with the animation, it was really good! Only the CGI used here and there felt a bit distracting, otherwise, the animation, the world, and its visuals were all quite impressive. The show's music was also great, and I really enjoyed both the opening and ending tracks.

​However, what I didn't like as much was how fast the character bonds and relationships felt. For instance, right at the start, Kirito and Klein become friends, but we hardly spent any time with them to actually feel that connection. Yet the show wanted us to feel it, because when they were parting ways, Kirito was crying, but I didn't feel anything in that moment. Similarly, Kirito and Sachi's relationship felt very rushed to me, when she died, I didn't feel bad at all, even though that was a major turning point for Kirito's character. As for the other girls Kirito met along the way, I couldn't really feel the bond between them either (though I'd say Lizbeth's episode was a bit better).

​When it comes to Asuna, her off screen character development didn't feel entirely believable to me. Just a few episodes prior, she knew almost nothing, but when Kirito meets her again, she feels like a completely different person. After that, a romance develops between the two of them, this time mutual, and to be honest, I couldn't get invested in their relationship at first. Gradually, though, I did get invested because their dynamic was actually given time to breathe, unlike the others which felt rushed. The story was initially giving character relationships only as much time as was strictly necessary to move the plot forward. It was only when things slowed down in the second half that I managed to get invested.

​I also felt Kirito's character development was somewhat rushed. His arc is good, but I think they should have executed it better. Halfway through the arc, when they started focusing heavily on Kirito and Asuna's bond, I realized Kirito's character archetype, someone carrying a heavy burden and trauma who struggles to form connections and feels destined to be alone. So it wouldn't surprise me if learning to connect and form bonds will be an essential part of his arc in the future.

​I liked what they did with Kuradeel, the episodes with Yui were nice, and I liked how the arc ended. It's a good thing they didn't play it too safe, because early on it was starting to feel very generic. But overall, yeah, it's a pretty enjoyable anime!
