Sword Art Online

Nov 20, 2020

As mentioned in my review of season 1, this season replaced the second cour of season 1 as my standard for how bad a show can be. The first cour of this was physically painful to sit through. Most of the second cour was so forgettable I literally have nothing to say about it, with the exception of the Mother’s Rosario arc. Although I could see the end coming a mile away, I think this could have been a very powerful scene in a better show, and it stands above the mess that is the rest of the series. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all my favorite parts of SAO happen when Kirito is gone.
