Josh vs Anime

I'm not typing these ridiculously long episode names with all of the x's in them in every title. Sorry.

We explore a little of Kirito's weird relationship with his sister, spliced with some vague sexual undertones that nobody asked for.

In today's episode, we learn how to cram an entire year's worth of story into twenty minutes of barely-animated cartoon. Spoiler alert: There wasn't enough budget for all of the action scenes. Also, everybody dies.

Sometimes when you write a new character into your story, you just have to have them arbitrarily conceal themselves in a cloak specifically so they can cast it aside at the end. Your audience will love when you do that and they will think it's good character development.

Here's where I review the very first episode of Sword Art Online and give my thoughts on what I just watched. I vow to give a fair and subjective opinion within the boundaries of my own seething hatred of anime.
