I don't care what anyone says, the first 14 episodes of SAO had me hooked.
....
And then it was like wtf, Incest?
This show had so much promise and flushed it all down the toilet with a shitty second arc, it probably would have been one of the greatest anime of all time if they condensed it down to 13 episodes but they had to absolutely ruin it with the introduction of ALO, Kirito's sister but oh not a sister so it's ok if we fuck, and that creepy guy.
In saying that though, I still enjoyed SAO more than anything that's come out this season.
