Gi Suilon!
Ever heard of anime or manga? Well if you haven't where have you been all your life? For those who don't know Manga is an animated Japanese cartoon book genre which you read clockwise right to left whilst Anime is the TV series version of that.
The other day my friend came round and, as it was snowing, she suggested we watch this anime series called SAO (Sword art online). I had only ever watched one anime series before called Fairy tail but I had given up on it when I got to about episode 50 or something so I didn't have high hopes for this one. However from the first episode I watched I was hooked and after the second day has passed I'd got through 20 25-30 minute episodes (shows how active my social life is).
At the beginning of the series you follow Kirito's journey as he enters the RPG (role-playing game) SAO using a nerve gear helmet. The problem however that the games master has prevented anyone from logging out so the only way the 1000 players can return to reality is if they clear all 100 floors in the game. It's extra psychotic seeing as the players die in real life if they die in the game or if someone tries to remove their helmets in reality. On Kirito's journey he finds strength, friendship and love and God how the feels destroy me.
I recommend SAO to any anime freak or someone who wants to try it out for the first time, it has a great story. My favourite episode so far was season 1 episode 10 because I think it showed a side to Kirito's character that hadn't been fully revealed before. Let's just say to avoid any spoilers that Asuna (the second main character) plays a major role in that episode.
Just one more thing, don't think that because I gave up on fairy tail I found it boring. It was quite the opposite! It's just there were 222 episodes and I didn't have the time in my life to watch them all whereas Sword art online has much smaller series. I am thinking of restarting the series so I'll probably post about that in the near future!
That's all until I next post so...
Tenna enta lúmë - May we meet again!
