So, I just thought of the best way to describe the third season of Sword Art Online. Spoilers BTW:

Kirito gets ganked with a happy-funtime needle by a disgruntled noob. In a coma, he gets spirited away by the government to debug their military AI simulation that's totally not immoral and illicit. Totally.

Meanwhile, Asuna panics and starts using her Waifu AI to track down her missing husbando. Finding him at a oilrig in the middle of the ...ing pacific, she gets a random chick who helped imprison her in a game for two years to help her infiltrate said oilrig, and rescue her husbando.

Meanwhile Meanwhile, Kirito discovers that the AI in the simulation have all discovered the art of the hackzor, and are using literal console commands that a dev forgot to restrict when baking the sim they're all in. As a result, one AI has taken over control of the entire game map, and has merged herself with the other person (or rather, AI) who had trapped Kirito and 10,000 others in a game for two years.

Then, Kirito meets a NPC who is really, really ...ing annoying; they go on a bunch of adventures, and defeat the evil hackzor with Infinity +1 swords. Fortunately, Kirito doesn't bust out his God-mode powers and start swinging two ...ing swords everywhere, at least until the final act.

Oh, and lets not forget the parade of useless waifu AI's Kirito encounters along the way.

Le's be honest: All this is somehow better than the last two seasons of SAO. Also the movie. And the OVA episodes. But it's nowhere close to the superb quality of the Abridged series by Something Witty Entertainment. Go watch that. Now.
