About this show

"Where...am I...?" Before he knows it, Kirito has made a full-dive into an epic, fantasy-like virtual world. With only a murky recollection of what happened right before he logged in, he starts to wander around, searching for clues. He comes upon an enormous, pitch-dark tree called the Gigas Cedar, where he encounters a boy. "My name is Eugeo. Nice to meet you, Kirito." Although he is supposedly a resident of the virtual world - an NPC - the boy shows the same array of emotions as any human being. As Kirito bonds with Eugeo, he continues to search for a way to log out of this world.

I cannot give any constructive criticism for this, I just hate it. I really, truly and utterly despise it. I think I found the art style too... modern for my tastes. But that's just me, you may find you adore it. (I never can just leave a judgement one sided...)

For those not familiar with this show I would describe it as a mix of a nightmare on elm street and the matrix with a touch of saving private ryan. This is an impressive story to watch unfold I very much look forward to season 3 being released on google play :)
