Sword Art Online Review Part I: Introduction

I know it looks like I'm wasting valuable time if I want to get through this entire review by day's end, or at least Friday, but I wanted to show you guys the general format each part is going to try to follow. So, here's an example part just to make it clearer.

Summary

This is the first part of each section and will be present in most parts of the review. Basically, this acts as an overview blanket for presenting purely the facts of what I'm about to talk about. In some parts like the story, it will be long as fuck. In other parts like the art style, it'll probably be a lot shorter.

The Good

In this section, I'll dissect the good points of the subject if they exist. Pretty self explanatory.

The Bad

Mirroring the previous section, this is where I'll talk about the bad features and flaws if they are present. Also very self explanatory.

The Ugly

This is for stuff that I or others I know found weird or "What the fuck?" worthy while watching. Now, that's not necessarily saying these things are objective errors in writing or execution. Some of them might be story errors, but most of it is just stuff that the team and I found strange for strange's sake and lacking explained logic.

Conclusion

I'm going to go back over everything I said and wrap up with how well the given part of the show acts as a sum of all wholes rather than what I picked apart in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

This should be the formula I mostly follow. Wish me luck. Let's dive into the first section: Characters.
