It seems that, above any other arc in Sword Art Online pre-Alicization, there is no other that resonates with audiences quite like that of the Mother’s Rosario. Despite being the most low-stakes in terms of magnitude as well as only being 7 episodes in length, it’s regarded as the best arc by most viewers of the show, even by people who dislike it, and I find that pretty interesting, but it makes sense when you look at how it approaches telling its story.
Sword Art Online is easily one of the most misunderstood series in all of anime, and Craftsdwarf I am going to be taking a look at the series arc by arc to show the good aspects that lie within. Today, I’ll be talking about the Aincrad Arc and how it builds the thematic core for the series as a whole, focusing on Kirito and Asuna as well as the intentions of Kayaba Akihiko.
Again, to preface this video, I do not think Sword Art Online is without flaws. I do find the first two seasons to have a LOT of problems. The point is that Sword Art Online has a lot of things it does well, and it all has to do with its core theme: reality.
I will be expanding upon my thoughts on the series in December for the 12 Days of Anime, so I hope you’re looking forward to it!
