I discovered this anime (yes, I'm calling it anime) through YouTube anime analyst; and I'm very happy he recommended it.
Basicly the story is that of a game master for an MMO called "Glory" is starting over with e new character. He progresses through the game, helping other players along the way to clear raids and grow stronger.
In real life, an experienced player with a new/weak game avatar can still do a lot of damage thanks to his knowledge and understanding of the game... but this story tries putting the absolute best player in the world into a new avatar... and that is pretty much what you get with the show... and I loved it! But I understand that maybe its not some people's cup of tea.
The main character is the focus of the story, but the show does a great job making me care about the supporting cast. Many different personalities and classes of fighters, they got that part down very well. (SAO... I'm looking at you... learn from this show!)
The Kings Avatar truly impressed me with its battle choreography and animation.
The art is beautiful, and has a unique taste that can be seen 30 seconds into episode 1. Some of the show is done with 3D animation, but it's done pretty well except in a few areas, but overall I liked how they did it.
I really hope this anime gets an English dub soon... I did have to go back and pause some of the subtitles because they went too fast... you also might want to have a basic understanding of MMOs, but the show does a good job of explaining some of the game machanics and meanings, so it's not necessary .
Very much worth the viewing. Great Job China! Keep them coming!
