I got hooked into Sword Art Online.
Think of this show like part Reboot meets The Matrix. Everyone is trapped inside an MMORPG by the creator of the game. The players have a virtual realty headset that is directly hooked into their brains. They all know it's a game but if they lose all their HP they die in the real world. I'm about half way into the first season and time progression is they have been in there for roughly 2 years. They can level up and earn skills, make parties and such. The only way to survive and escape is by clearing all 100 levels and their bosses.
I both hope that each season has a full arc and conclusion just incase it ever just gets cancelled but they also leave it open to keep going if they wanted to.
Thankfully both Netflix and Hulu Plus have it so I'm watching it off Netflix because no commercials. They even have a Japanese and English audio choice so you can either watch Japanese with subtitles or English Dub so that makes it nice incase you prefer English Dub like I generally do, although Naruto Shippuden in Japanese is actually better as far as the sound of voices goes. English Naruto just sounds so screechy and annoying that you don't care what situation he is in you just want him to stop talking.
