Even normally tolerant SAO fans have been stuck picking apart the innumerable plot holes and anime battle clichés the 23rd episode’s thrilling climax finds itself riven with – the conclusion being that “it is best not to think to hard about what you’re watching with SAO,” not the first time such complaints have been made…
Fortunately there are the usual stream of omake available to distract from excess analysis of the plot:
I don’t know why i’m so forgiving of this series, maybe the excess drama makes me view it less seriously.
I can’t find any plotholes that these people in the comments speak off. Everything is backed up, if it’s not in the anime it’s in the light novel… just go to a fucking Wiki and search your answer.

The only thing I was surprised to not see were the guardian archers.
They raped Kirito hard with them, and suddenly, they’re gone.
Weird, eh?
(Pyon!)
I’ve been saying this since Episode 2 or 3, I forget.
It’s got some decent action, but everything else about it is really bad, hilariously bad in fact.
SAO is pretty much the definition of “So bad it’s good,” which is why I’m still watching and enjoying it.
