Level 100 Boss Fight (Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale)
Sword Art Online has earned itself a bad rep over the years, so it came as a surprise that I enjoyed Ordinal Scale. This original story captures the simplistic charm and epic battles of Sword Art Online and cuts away most of the annoying drama and romantic subplots that kept the anime’s second season from being phenomenal.
The film culminates in one of the most incredible fight scenes I’ve seen across any medium. Watching all the heroes from the original anime unite together to take down the Level 100 boss amidst a flurry of colorful explosions, perfectly choreographed teamwork, and epic screaming really gets the heart pumping. The soundtrack is on point too, dipping at the ideal time to give the audience the chance to appreciate how epic the situation is before blaring to life to match the crescendo of attacks near the battle’s conclusion. The fight is so well done, and will probably go down as one of the best anime battles in recent memory.
