Main Description
A new game, Sword Art Online has just come out, and Kirito is ready to log on and beat that bad boy. As it turns out, however, all of the ten thousand players get stuck inside the game and nobody can leave until all 100 floors of the game are beaten. In addition, if you die in the game, you'll end up dying in real life.

Personal Opinions
occipitallobe
A series with an absolutely stellar first fourteen episodes, with decent character development, amazing animation, and considerably clever plot twists. While the romance in the show feels a little weak, the early characterization is actually really good and it's easy to get caught up in the struggles of Kirito and the others in their efforts to beat Aincrad.
After that, the show turns to utter shit and becomes painful to watch at best. What was an interesting look at part teenage-angst, part Lord of the Flies in a virtual world becomes an effort to make every scene as creepy (or as awkward) as possible. Wrap the show up when the first major plot point gets wrapped up, you won't be disappointed.
