The plot of Sword Art Online is in the year of 2022 VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game).

On November 6 of 2022, all the players log in for the first time and realized that they are unable to log out of the game. Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO (Sword Art Online), informs them that , if they wish to be free, they need to reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However...if there bodies die in the game, they will also die in the real world! The story follows with one of the main characters Kirito, a skilled player who is determined to beat the game. As the game processes for two years, Kirito meets a female player, Asuna, which he has fallen in love with.....
There is more to the story but because this is a new anime and has a lot of information in the story itself and many conflicts, that it is hard for me to explain everything!! But, just to let you guys know, Sword Art Online is a must see!! It is such an exciting and amazing anime to watch!! And if you live in America, it does come on Adult Swim's Toonami!! ^_^ I rate this anime 5/5 !!!
