So, even though I'm not really sure how to write one, I will keep it short because I, myself, don't usually read reviews when too long.
I wanted to make a review of SAO because of what I want to say, after reading some of the top reviews that I've come across, about the fact that any of those do justice from my point of view to what really SAO is or was: a pillar for anime.
The story: the plot was revolutionary. Never forget that before this serie there were no isekai. I remember how I was blown away when watching the first episodes.
...
The art was so fresh, not only because of the drawings and the beautiful colours but also (maybe) because the plot was like a redesign of fantasy: a new and diversified version of the "mainstream style", which flavoured each scene with a sense of bliss. I'm glad that I watched the show right away and not after other isekai anime. I think that made me grow even more into anime. It's like watching the lord of the rings as your first fantasy film, nothing else will be the same. And I recognise that SAO has some flaws, but it never failed to deliver, and I think that the hype which builds up at the end of each episode makes up for the little boring Kirito. In the end SAO is a solid one in the entire panorama of anime which also stands as the father of a genre, and if you decide to watch it just keep that in mind, that everything you've seen in other isekai come after SAO, and many of them don't even come close to be better or even equal to SAO; the sequels are way inferior to the first one, the only one that come close is alicization, but it's still way worse.
