I gave up at episode 11

Who wasn't impressed at the 'die here die in real life' idea at the beginning? I'm sure it's been done before, but this was amongst the new generation of anime, and I was eager to see what fresh world would be before us on this adventure, and what new things to see.

I followed every episode as they came out: rich graphics, sweet mechanics and it seemed things would go the right way. I must admit I sort of expected the grimness of an Urobochi tale, or perhaps some form of epicness in character like so many anime have to offer, but I was sorely dissapointed, and the moment I guessed romantic attachments, events that would happen next I knew I had fallen out of love with SAO.

So I gave up watching and my friend explained to me how it progresses, I did not regret setting it aside. There are shows that are bad that I can muscle through to pick out the good elements, but Kirito and co made me constantly want to tear my hair out.

I will give one quatre though: I'm not shocked that people enjoy the show - nay love it - and I don't hold anything against them. I dropped one of the dot.hacks for similar reasons, but I prefer that to this.
