Build advice: I been toying to build a character inspired by Kirito from swords arts online, and this is what I have end up with as the closest I can get:
Male human monk (Unchained) 1
Init: +6, Perception +10,
Defensive
AC: 16, T 16, FF 13 (2dex, 3wis, 1dodge)
Hp: 12 (1d10+1+1)
Fort: +3, Ref +2, Will +3
Offensive
Templesword +4/+4 (1d8+3/19x2)
Unarmed +4 (1d6+3/x2)
Shuriken +3 (1d2+3/x2)
Statistiks
Str: 16, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 10, Will 16, Cha 8
BaB +1, CMB +4, CMD 20
Feats: Improved initiative, skill focus(perception),
Monk: Improved unarmed strike, stunning fists, dodge,
Skills: Acrobatics +6, knowledge dungeoneering +5, perception +10, survival +4, stealth +6,
Traits: Scholar of ruins (dungeoneering), something fitting to make survival class skill,
SQ: Focused study, flurry of blows
later feats: combat reflexes (2), crane style chain (3,5,7), skill focus stealth (8), imp. critical (10)
open feat slots: monk bonus 6th, normal 9th and 11th feats.
By lvl 11 he would have 5 attacks in a flurry which he can alternate between each weapon with no penalty, and an normal AC of 35 with barkskin, mage armor, belt +2 str/dex, headband +4 wis and +2 ring.
What do you people think? any ideas or tips?
depends on which arc we're talking. In the early first arc Kirito would be a pretty decent fighter. Later in Arc one I'd say he's a two weapon warrior, maybe give him amateur swashbuckler for parry riposte.
Kirito definitely would not be a monk though. A monk is not nearly powerful enough to demonstrate what Kirito does in the show, and doesn't have a reasonable method for emulating his fighting style. I think the closest way to do so with a monk would be with a kata master.

Thanks for the ideas, I was thinking on the first act as I like that one the best.
At first I was thinking on the fighter, dropping the second weapon and go with a swordlord, but I had a bit of trouble finding a way to spend a full round action as often as possible to utilize the abilities.
I can see the idea of two weapon warrior and might consider doing that one with a mithral glamered chainmail, could fight with one weapon all the way to lvl 9 with no problems.
I mostly thought of the monk because he doesn't wear armor and could fight with two temple swords without penalties, and instead of parry i thought it was easier to build him with high ac to avoid to many hits.
I was thinking if I went into the later acts to take Kensai magus,

He fights without armor because it is a video game and he had way more levels than most of his opponents and also fast healing. Which is something that you don't have and most of the adventures, you will be lower levels than your opponents.
Mostly just saying that when translating a character to a system, just think of what he would do and use with the rules limit. Kirito in general was a player who spent a good amount of time optimizing his combat abilities, by looking for every single advantage in the sword online system...simply translate the spirit of it to Pathfinder and you should be fine.
If you wanted to stay monk there's a feat called crusader's flurry which could allows you to take the favored weapon of a deity and use it with flurry of blows. You'll need weapon focus of course but that shouldn't be a problem. With this you could worship iomedae and get longswords or even worship ragathiel and get bastard swords to be flurryable

Eh disregard this apparently you need a level in cleric

VMC cleric would meet the pre-reqs :)

I'd say slayer.
He was very fighty type but he deffinatly studied his opponites to progress.
He also has a decent amount of skills.
It is true two weapon warrior would work too. But I deffinatly see a Slayer and would just forsake DWing long swords. I'd just go 2 short swords or kukris. I hate going out my way to make a concept like DWing oversized swords...it just errks me as a player.
Dot. (for interest). :)
I'd suggest you look into Path of War. Aincrad was explicitly a no magic user world, and no official pathfinder marital will be even half as effective without magic.

As I said I am making a character inspired by him, not a 100% copy, trying to build one who are really good with a single weapon and can pick up a second when things gets dire.
@ Fruian
I could see the slayer work, havn't been to interrested in building a slayer but with this it might actually be enough to try make a high lvl version see how it would work.
Shortswords are around 2 ft in length so would proberly fit, and could take the heavy gladius to both combat slashing and piercing DR. Could always learn to use sawtooth sabers, if he doesn't get to feat starved.
@ Scythia
I like to keep it in pathfinder games as he is going to be for either a homegame or perhaps society if I can make the character work around lvl 8-9. But I am thinking on moving past Aincard for a better fitting in pathfinder.
1 level of vanilla swashbuckler the rest slayer going for EWP sawtooth and slashing grace and the two weapon fighting feats. Dex to attack and damage, lots of attacks, lots of stealth and hunting skills, trap finding, can really tear into a single target.
Personally I would go EWP bastard sword and just put effortless lace on one as Kirito had that "my one hand sword is bigger than your one hand sword" vibe going on.
The feat simple would be to use a repurposed scimitar as your WF and Slashing grace weapon and when you get twf get an effortless lace for the second. A bit Drist but what can you do the characters are very similar.
*edit* studied target can be used out of combat on the Ladies to boost your scores, maybe there is a trait or rogue talent that lets you add half your level to diplomacy checks with the opposite sex.
So having seen attempts before I'll say this.
Kirito in the series was not a Dex fighter, his strength stat was mentioned as being rather good several times through the series and the Arc with him and the blacksmith showed he preferred heavier blades. Also the more recent gun gale arc shows the same when he is gearing for the tournament.... Snip ...
@Slashing grace
is there something I'm missing? This feat was intended for the Swashbuckler crowd to get dex to damage...
The swash dip was more to pick up parry but you could do that with amateur swash. Pumping Dex to a bonus of +8 or higher is when enchanted clothes become better than armor which would match his look though I do concede the reference to his high strength. Again a scimitar would work best with the least feat investment but the higher base damage of a bastard sword or falcate is more flavor matching.
Slashing grace stipulates a 1 hand weapon gains dex to damage and swashbuckler finesse does not stipulate only working when you wield a single weapon. Precise Strike is the only part that only works with one weapon and even then you could be holding two but only attacking with one.

@ Moving
Thanks for the advices. I think I overlooked that they could take ranger styles on talents and skipped the class alltogther
I like the idea of using a glamered armor, I didn't think of it before I typed it in an earlier post.
I was thinking on running with a single weapon in the beginning and use my later talents to adopt the two weapon style when I can afford that cracked ioun stone.
I like slayer as well, and I believe sawtooth sabers are what is in the off hand at the very least.
