Criticism about the series has been mixed. Many feel the first arc of the first season was the best and the anime hasn’t been able to achieve such greatness since. Despite such harsh criticisms, one of the main draws is the romance between Kirito and Asuna, who have experienced many twists and turns in relationship. The couple even came in at number one on Watchmojo.com’s Top 10 Anime Romances list.
