    Great Series, but S2 is trash

    The first season was 10/10, but the second season, in comparison, is an abomination. As of right now, not a single episode of season 2 is worth watching. They are all dreadfully dull and watching them is a waste of time, but season 1 was good enough that I keep watching in hopes it'll get better.

    Stop watching at the end of season 1

    If this isekai had only 1 season I would have give it a 10/10 rating. The revenge plot is great and refreshing from the other anime of the same genre. Episode 1 hook you up instantly and each episodes of season 1 are worth watching.

    Sadly this anime went for a season 2 and 3 wich are both bland/generic isekai, I think the author didn't understand that what makes this worth it was the relationship between Naofumi/Raphtalia and the revenge plot. Raphtalia become so dull and only becole another member of Naofumi's harem (another problem with the Isekai genre), they keep feeding you new characters you don't care about and the main danger is completely forgotten (the waves of monsters ??? The reason why the MC is summoned in the first place ??)

    I still give it a 6/10 because of the perfect first season.

    English isn't my first language I hope this review was readable.

    the adaptation from the light novel is remarkable

    Besides the tipical isekai theme, the series has a quick start with the characters accepting just from the first episode that they are in another world. This could seem bad for a development, but its very refreshing and let the series take another view (which is, of course, the main plot from the series). Our protagonist is betrayed from the very start and makes him to see the wonderful isekai world in which he was invoked as it is in reality, a normal kingdom with all its fails and trash. From that point our protagonist evolves in such a smooth way that you dont remember the last time he didnt taste food. the soundtrack is wonderful, following the pase of the series perfectly and the seiyu's have made an excelent job voicing naofumi, filo and the racoon loli. the animation is acceptable, with some fails, but those dont ruin the experience. my score for the series is 8,5/10 and as a personal opinion a 9/10

    Good anime

    Don't look boring There are scenes to get excited all the time. The plot is quite good. I like the design of the characters If I typed it wrong, I'm sorry. I'm still not good at English.

    WHAT SWORD ART ONLINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

    New and fresh anime. It gets interesting every chapter, and It's quite nice to see the development of the characters. Good animation, nice intro.

    Definetely worth it if you are looking for something like SAO was supposed to be.
