Hmm... just finished the last ep of SAO "season 1", and I'm not gonna lie, this did not turn out anywhere near as bad as i thought it would.

From what i had heard/read i was expecting this series to, at some point, take a nosedive down into complete crap, but to my surprise i actually enjoyed it all the way through.

A big part of that might be because i watched all of it over a relatively short timespan instead of just one episode per week, so that way the pacing and stuff was probably alot better in my experience.

Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised.
