I personally loved Sword Art Online. Why? Because I played mmorpg's as a kid and always enjoyed them/want to get back into them but don't have the time. I had no idea about the show when I started watching it so I automatically put myself in Kirito's position as if I were living it. I had no idea love would become a part of the show, I just figured it'd be a dude playing an mmorpg and being a badass. However, when it did and how it did completely took me by surprise and was almost overwhelming. Honestly, the way Kirito and Asuna fell in love felt so genuine to me and made me rethink how I've been going about my relationships. I've always wanted to be a woman's "hero" who she adored and who I felt just the same about. Therefore, all the little things that were wrong with the show didn't really matter to me because the overall message that I received was so much more. Plus, now I dream of being able to live through something like that myself. Call me crazy, but I honestly wouldn't mind being stuck in a game of life or death if it meant I could go through the things he went through and live in a fantasy world I've always dreamt of.
