Sword Art Online
2 seasons 25 episodes, 10 extra episodes + "special" movie
'Romancey' mixed with enduring friendships and the action of an vrmmo rpg. Welcome to the world of SAO.
The programmer of SAO went a little wacko, drew in a whole lot of players, then closed out the logouts. Someone has to beat the game to free the lot of them. This then is the story of a young player, Kirito, who strives to beat the overwhelming odds within 2 long years, stuck inside this virtual world.
In the second season ALO, Kirito, in the form of a spriggin, sets out in a similar virtual world to locate his love, who was caught up inside when SAO ended and is now a captured part of ALO, with its hidden experiments on the emotions of the human brain.
The movie is mostly a recap with an extra quest story.
