This is not an anime for you if you enjoyed SAO. This is not an anime for you if you don't appreciate slice of life fantasy series.
If you don't mind a slower-paced fantasy series that faithfully emulates the atmosphere of a real MMO, this is for you. As a fan of the manga since it first came out, I can say that while this anime doesn't quite capture the intensity of the original material, it comes pretty damn close. This is not a high stakes, wild action anime. This anime is about trying new things, discovering the excitement of learning something new in a field you are interested in, and experiencing what a player of the game would feel like.
I understand that most people won't enjoy this, but if you're one of the few who enjoy this kind of anime, you're in for a treat.
