SAO is your typical "trapped in a video game and if you die, you die for real" type show. What makes it stand out is the commitment to the idea. Most of the time, this plot lasts a day or two, but SAO lasts for years. There's 10000 people trapped, life moves on even in the video game. All the little features of MMOs become part of daily life. Add in some decent action and some likable characters and it makes for a great anime.


...and then the second half happens. Not only is it bad, but it's insulting too.
