Sword Art Online is an
Anime (Japanese Cartoon) made by Aniplex
USA and A1 Pictures. Originating from a manga of the same name written by Reki Kawahara, it follows the story of Kirito, a huge video game fan, mainly in the MMO genre. During his
time, the video game community has changed with the appearance of Virtual
Reality Nervegear. Kirito uses the Nervegear to jump into the first MMO for the system, Sword Art Online, or SAO. Shortly after entering, all 6,000 players in the game are trapped inside by the game's creator, Akihiko Kayaba. They are stuck until the game's 100 floors are cleared, and if anyone dies in-game, the Nervegear will malfunction, killing the real
person. Kirito must then lead his friends and fellow gamers to escape the cursed world, and get back to
reality. Many subplots have followed the main arc. It is currently in its 2nd season, and a movie is in the works.
