Anime Review: Sword Art Online II


Sword Art Online 2 is the second season of an anime entittled Sword Art Online aired on July 2014 and directed by Tomohiko Itou. This anime has 24 episodes and is divided into 3 arcs, they are Phantom Bullet (eps 1-14), Calibur (eps 15-17) and Mother Rosario (eps 18-24). This anime has many genres, such as action, adventure, fantasy, games, romance, shounen.

Synopsis:

After one year of the Sword Art Online incident, Kirito and his friends lived peacefully. They adventure in the safe world of games. But who would have thought, Kirito had to bet his life in a shootout game because of the request of the Japanese government represented by Kikuoka Seijiro. Kirito also converted his swordsman character and entered the Gun Gale Online game to uncover the mystery.

After the story of GGO was finished, and then back in the background in ALO, in Kirito's party, Asuna, Sinon and others, they carried out a quest to get the excaliber sword.

Finally, Asuna who met a powerful swordsman. Asuna was asked to help to help the swordsman's group to defeat the boss monster together.


I like this anime because of the interesting storyline. I have an interest in stories / films / anime with themes of fantasy and action especially those that use guns as weapons. But there are some things that make me disappointed with this anime:

1. In the first arc, Kirito did not use a gun as his main weapon. He instead uses a light saber which of course he has mastered from his experience playing games in the previous season. Even though I hope to see him fight using a gun to win the game.
2. This season has three stories combined in one season. This made me feel they were doing this just to multiply episodes.
3. At the last arc, the main character who becomes the main focus of the story changes. As a Kirito fan I felt disappointed because this time it wasn't him who was the highlight of the story. Honestly, even if I will watch this anime again, maybe I'll just watch the first arc.

Even so, this anime has a story that is no less interesting than the previous season and maybe for fans of the character named Asuna this season is very satisfying because their 'goddess' is the main highlight in the last arc.
