![]() ![]() However, he was forced to reveal it during 74th Floor Boss fight in order to save the people nearby as they couldn't leave by teleport crystal and defeating the boss. Later, Kirito met a blacksmith named Lisbeth, who forged a new sword for Kirito after he unlocked a unique skill: Dual Blades, although he kept it hidden to avoid attention. Kirito befriended a girl named Silica and helped her revive her pet Pina. ![]() This event kept Kirito from joining another guild. For being the first player to defeat the 1st Floor Boss, Kirito received a black leather trench coat that becomes his trademark appearance for the rest of the series.ĭuring the time Kirito spent in SAO, Kirito joined a guild named the Moonlit Black Cats, but he kept his character's level a secret, which resulted in the entire guild being killed by monsters, which led to Kirito wallowing in his despair and self-loathing until he read the time delayed message Sachi left for him on Christmas Eve. Kirito decided to end the tension by claiming that a majority of beta testers were inefficient and incapable players, while only a select few of the beta testers like himself resulted the creation of the category Beater and Kirito remained a solo player for majority of the game. Because of this, the hatred for beta testers resurfaced and threatened to go out of control. During the 1st Floor Boss, as Illfang the Kobold Lord's weaponry and attack patterns differed from the beta, while the raid party relied on Argo's published beta test version of information about it, Diavel was killed by the monster while attempting to obtain the Last Attack bonus. During the start of SAO, he befriended a girl named Asuna. 8.3/10.Main article: Kirito (Sword Art Online) Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Japanese) Bryce Papenbrook (English)Īs the main protagonist of Sword Art Online, Kirito was chosen to be one of the one thousand beta testers for the closed beta of Sword Art Online, the first ever Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) for the NerveGear, and later joined the official version of the game where he became one of the 10,000 players trapped in Sword Art Online. Overall, despite its flaws, I somehow still found it to be very enjoyable and was engaged in it a lot. As for the rating, well I would give it like: First arc (1-14 episodes) 8.8/10. But the love stuff was lame and pointless. The setting in it was cool, had a lot of Final fantasy vibe to it. IT just didn't had the same feeling as the first arc. It didn't suck as bad as many said it would but still it was nowhere near as good as the first arc. The side characters were good BUT they got very less screen time, way too less. It got a little too much lovey dovey too later on, which was off putting. Would have been better if they stretched out the first arc into 24 episodes or so, would have been much better. It actually felt like I skipped an episode couple of times. :p Now on the bad side, the anime felt really rushed in the beginning. Coupled with amazing soundtrack, they really became epic. The animation was great, especially that of the action sequences. The RPG gamer in me was really happy while watching this anime. On the plus side, I loved the setting/premise, a world where virtual reality has been perfected and MMORPG's truly come to life. But I did had a great time watching it, was very entertaining and that is what really matters. Well I have to say, this has got to be the hardest anime to review and rate that I have come across so far.
