I'll be honest and start off by saying every story has some kind of plot hole. The goal should be entertaining enough so that they're ignored.
But SAO is ridiculous from the start. We watched 4 episodes and I don't know how they're going to spread this story 25 episodes. There's great ideas for real drama like people becoming hungry and it's completely ignored.
And I guess I just don't like these MMO animes. I wasn't a fan of .hack. Watching people fight in a video game isn't interesting to me.
I don't understand why there rush interesting plot points like people dying in the game. Like TJ said to watch out for episode three but the problem is I can't feel sad when I haven't gotten a chance to connect to a character. And there's already been 3,000 people who died in the game already. The only thing different here is that you get to see it.
The animation is great. And there's things I laugh it. But the story isn't good.
