Summary:
The only way to escape is to 'clear' the game. Death in game means actual 'death' ----
The ten thousand who have logged onto the as of yet mysterious game 'Sword Art Online' using their Nerve Gear have been forced into this perilous death game and are trapped inside.
Protagonist Kirito, one of the many gamers, has greeted this 'truth'.
He plays as a solo player in the giant castle that is the stage for this game ---- 'Aincrad'.
To meet the conditions of clearing the game and leaving this twisted virtual world, he must get through all 100 floors. Will Kirito have what it takes to clear the game, or will he die trying?
I seriously cannot believe how much potential this Anime has. The story is fresh and new. Its different. Its a serious life and death virtual game set to have been invented in the real life world of 2022. Just the first episode and I can't wait to see what kind of things they'll have next. If anyone has played a good variety of games you'll know how much potential this anime has. It makes you think about what the writer could do with it. Maybe different weapons grant different powers? new game environments with each floor? new characters? THE END OF LEVEL BOSSES!
I am definitely keeping up with this anime as it comes out every monday. Trying to resist going to read the manga.
