Sword Art Online - Part 1 (Ep. 1-7) ( Sword Art Online - Part One ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

Great show episodes are perfect

Love this TV show. Highly recommend it to any anime fan. Had no idea that there was a plan for a combo release. I've currently collected all the aniplex versions of this (dubbed). Does anyone know if this release will be dubbed or not?

It's only the first 7 stories!!??

The discs I received would not play on any player I could find. And after having to wait longer than I was told for my purchase only to find it non-operational was highly disappointing.

Sword Art Online (SAO) is about a group of 10,000 players who are trapped inside of an MMORPG. They are unable to log out, and anyone who dies in the game dies in real life as well. SAO aired in Fall 2012 in Japan, and was a very adamantly debated anime. People either loved it or totally hated it. The hate mostly stemmed from people expecting the show to be something other than what it was... SAO is not a show about playing an MMORPG, neither is it about the people or culture who play MMO's. The whole point of SAO is to investigate the question: "What do you do whenever the life you've built for yourself is taken away from you?"What will you not see in SAO... You will not see a bunch of epic boss battles. There are some fights in the game, but these are really not even that big. You will not see characters hunting, farming, or jumping up and down under a bridge in order to level their skills. You will not see much of strategy meetings, or learn much about the game SAO itself. This is not a show about playing a game.What you will see in SAO are people. There are three basic reactions by the characters to having their real lives taken away from them. One group succumbs to despair. One group fights as hard as they can to clear the game and get their lives back. And one group starts to build a new life. The show doesn't say much particularly profound. It has a lot of time skips that force you to imagine how the characters develop, and there are a few Deus Ex Machina moments. But SAO does a very good job of drawing you in, making you care about the characters, and forcing you to question whether you could start new life if everything you had were lost.I should probably say that there is a second story arc of Sword Art Online as well. Everything written above is about the first arc, which is the first 14 episodes of the series. The second arc (11 episodes) takes place in another RPG, and the storytelling suffers from a lack of direction and has some serious pacing problems. The first arc is a really good story, the second is pretty meh...You should watch the first arc of SAO. It is not a perfect story, and you may love or may hate it. But it's a show that everyone should at least see.

There is no review it doesn't work in the U.S. Blu-ray players.

would not work in our dvd play, wrong region.. oversea dvd.
