Sword Art Online (Anime)

Rufus · 07-12-2012

Today I stumbled across Sword Art Online, an anime that is airing over the Summer. It has a pretty interesting concept to me, and considering this is an MMO-based forum, I thought you might be interested to follow it with me. I watched the first episode just now (if you plan on watching, don't watch the trailer as the first episode is basically just the trailer) and it seems like it could be a decent show. A lot of MMO references.

Synopsis:

A genius programmer creates the first full virtual-reality, massively multiplayer online world called Sword Art Online. The ten thousand who have logged onto the mysterious game have been forced into this perilous death game. There is no escape from this world unless the player clears the game; however getting a "game over" results in the death of the player.

Trailer:

This series is being subtitled by UTW (http://utw.me/) or you can just watch it from one of those anime streaming websites if you prefer not to download.

Nice! I'm not really a huge anime fan, but this looks amazing. Is it english dubbed? I'm not a fan of having to read subtitles the whole time.

Nope, it's airing in Japan right now so it won't be dubbed for at least another year. I think you'd get used to reaing subtitles after a while.

Regardless, it looks pretty interesting. I guess I'll just watch the first episode and see how I like it.
