I used to play an MMORPG and one of my friends there told me to watch this. At first I really loved it. You know the MMORPG thing was really exciting. But then I gave it some time and realized that it's not a "die for" anime like FMA Brotherhood or Fate/Zero. The animation is excellent, the story is fresh enough but the dialogues are poor and predictable. Where as the "Title" promises action but what it really delivers is GOOEY LOVE. The actions that actually appear are not hardcore. And the second season is a total "LAND SLIDE". Furthermore, if you're someone who has never played an MMORPG before, you won't understand many things shown here. So it's basically online gamers friendly. But on the happy note, the musics are good and the anime remained true to most of the original light novels. So I would neither encourage nor discourage you to watch this but what I can say is read the original light novels, they are are way more better than the anime.
