SWORD ART ONLINE ABRIDGE SERIES

SWE takes animation from SAO and edits and re-dubs the footage to create a brand new show and story based on the concept of the original. This potential was finally realized when the folks at Something Witty Entertainment (SWE) on Youtube created their parody series, SAO Abridged.

However, Sword Art Online is set apart from them by two main factors: that it was and is very popular, and that it had a lot of potential. As someone who watches a lot of anime, trust me when I say that there are a lot of bad shows out there, and most of them are quickly forgotten or just ignored. However there is one problem with this story: its terrible.Īlmost all the characters are flat (especially Kirito), the plot feels contrived and often makes little to no sense, and it doesn’t have any main message or theme. Throughout the show, Kirito makes new friends, levels up, falls in love, and eventually beats Kayaba, freeing all the players trapped in the game. And if you die in the game or attempt to log out, you die for real. It’s an RPG because characters level up as they kill monsters, unlock items, and use skills. It’s Massive Multiplayer and Online because it can handle 10,000 players at once, all on one server. Still confused? It’s in full-dive virtual reality, which means he’s “in the game” (like the Matrix). The story follows Kirito as he is trapped within the world’s first full-dive VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Paying Game) by it’s creator, Akihiko Kayaba.
