NOTE: THIS IS AN UPDATED/EDITED VERSION OF THE OLDER ONE!
I would usually start with a first impression post but how am I supposed to do that for SAO? I waited a year for this anime…It’s hard for me to not be biased. So I’ll just say this: SAO is probably going to be one of the best anime of summer 2012. I have high expectations for it and I think the first episode did great. Good animation with nice effects, good art (my anxieties are all gone), great OST used and I enjoyed how they depicted MMORPG problems such as G.I.R.L. (Guy In Real Life), a crowd full of pretty avatars turning into normal looking people, etc. I just loved the first episode and hope that they will stick to the original work with only minor changes. May the future episodes be as good, I don’t want another Guilty Crown to happen (no offense to anyone). Alright, I had to re-read the beginning of the first volume to remind myself of the details. It’s been months since I last re-read. Well without further ado here we go…
The first episode did a great job portraying the world of SAO. The sceneries were pretty and the animation during the “Link Start” was cool. This episode got the major plot and event down nicely. It was able to cover chapters 2 and 3 of the first volume. Notice how I did not include the prologue and chapter 1? The reason is because there is a time skip at the beginning of the novel (surprisingly a lot of readers fail to realize that).
