Kirito awakens in a vast, fantastical forest filled with towering trees. In his search for clues to the truth of his surroundings, he encounters a young boy who seems to know him. He ought to be a simple NPC, but the depth of his emotions seem no different than a human. As they search for the boy's parents, Kirito finds a peculiar memory returning to him. A memory from his own childhood, of this boy and a girl, too, with golden hair, and a name he should have never forgotten - Alice. (Source: Yen Press) Note: The first episode aired with a runtime of ~48 minutes as opposed to the standard 24 minute long episode.

Read full review on AniList →I really wanted to like this. The first season holds a lot of nostalgia for me, as it was my very first anime. But with all the contrived plot devices, bland characters, tropey cop outs, and boring setpieces, the show fails to engage its audience in any meaningful way. Leaving a couple interesting i…
Read full review on AniList →In recent memory, there has been no series that people have quite loved to hate as _Sword Art Online_. And for good reason – although the premise is nothing short of stellar, and the settings and battles are vividly brought to life by a sizable animation budget and the Midas touch of Yuki Kajiura, m…
Read full review on AniList →In my opinion this has been the best of SAO. While being the weakest world from its predecessors, Alicization improves upon almost every other factor. It had much more world building and immersion than anything before it and is only continued further in the next season. The music as well heightens t…

Read full review on AniList →__Story__ The soft-reboot feel to Alicization breathes new life into the doldrums that SAO was stuck in ever since the death game ended in Aincrad. Even in GGO, where the whole plot was someone trying to recreate the tension of the first arc, it never came close. Alicization achieves this by using…
