Honestly, all I ever wanted was an in depth series of the actual SAO game. Seriously, 2 and a half years, 75 floors fit into 12 episodes. I wanted more of it so bad.
The author is doing it with sword art online progressive, a light novel based only on the first arc, floor by floor. He published 8 volumes (~400 pages each) right now and we're still at floor 7 lol
So this is SAO's retelling from Asuna's perspective and expands more on what we already know about the series awesome cannot wait, I can't get enough of this show!
Me neither, after the fairy arc situation, I legit cried at the brunette chick's funeral scene. I also love when stories are told from another perspective, freshens it up
Also they should not adapt that manga, it's pretty bad. But from the trailer I feel like they Will adapt the LN mixed with the manga, as the manga was also from Asuna's PoV.
Foxen Anime has a review of the movie up on his channel as he was invited to an early screening of the movie. It was a spoiler free review but he says there's some drastic changes form the novel and that the new girl Mita and Asuna get all of the screen time while Kirito only gets about 1/3 of screen time and Argo only makes a brief appearance
You may don't like sao i don't mind, but the real fans of SAO , those who understood the deep feelings that are in this, those will be forever followed by happiness
Only true sao fans know that kirito dont have a harem Only asuna have the real harem... All girls make friendship with kirito.. Just to get close to asuna 🤣
Movies typically have a higher budget and thus, better animation..The animation we're seeing is definitely better than in season 1.. Accel World had amazing animation though compared to most of SAO so I guess it could be done.. I wish we would get more of Accel World as well.. It's something that feels incomplete and it deserved a 2nd season.. I want to see it end as in someone reaching level 10/meeting the creator of Brain Burst.. etc..
@@Eyrothath Personally, I'd sacrifice better animation for a more detailed story with potential for multiple seasons, rather than stuffing it into an hour and a half or two hour movie (not sure on the actual length, just guessing here). But I definitely agree on the Accel World bit. Would love to see more of it! I really just want more of both. SAO isn't the greatest anime out there by any stretch if the imagination, but I've always enjoyed the story and the novelty feel to it and have wanted to further explore it on screen.
@@Eyrothath I would easily take a way longer series over better animation. I mean I’m still so hype we’re at least getting this, but it’s gonna be the fastest 2 hours of my life
The 2nd movie is already in the works though, so they seem rather serious about this. Think it released 2022. And maybe they will try something new with going for a series format later on? (Though that would be weird, but who knows).
Probably would have had to sacrifice some of the quality of art, etc.. for more episodes, but I am not sure, Alicization had a lot of episodes and had better animation than season 1..
They did that because that was literally the amount of content they had to work with. The author had a word limit to work with when making SAO. Can't really blame the anine company on that.
That's what Progressive is. It's floor by floor Sword Art Online. Now that it's not being written within the restrictions SAO was originally written under there are so many cool things they can do.
@The Void Actually SAOs original anime was based off source material from a competition with strict limitations to start and end an arc in a single book, and when it's not being spliced with like 6 side stories that don't quite fit the source was actually alright. Not stellar, but it made a bit more sense and had more character interactions.
To test bugs. You don’t necessarily good at the game to do that. If you’re a game reviewer, you technically look for the manual and stuff that in it (regardless of games) Also, beta testers aren’t that big of a deal. It’s just that you have high tolerance to work for long hours and by efficient enough to do so. Aside, it’s limited to the game you’re playing(working). Consider you have Sinon is godlike sniper, so technically she’s a vet in term of shooting RPG. It’s really depending on the type of game and how that process work. Btw, Kirito is definitely not a type of guy you would see as a guild leader (and most of those ppl are usually choosing as tank class rather than dps). Asuna is an exception to that since she isn’t a gamer before entering the game. Though, plots likely the same since the original so it’s just adding more context to it. Klein really need his own show now lol.
Honestly, Sword Art Online is so amazing. They can make dozens of seasons and id watch all of them as long as Kirito is in it. Fillers would make the show even better I want max detail about SAO or ALO I don't mind that at all. Imma love this movie
The Aincrad arc was what it was meant to be. It was never about clearing each floor. It was about Kirito remembering moments throughout his time in Aincrad.
@@molduga actually no, the aincrad arc was what it was because Reki wrote it to participate for an award, however he was over the page limit, so he excluded a bunch of stuff, STILL being over the page limit he said "screw it" and posted it as a web novel that got alot of positive feedback and motivated him to expand on the story (the light novels, manga's and anime series we have today) he started writing progressive wich he released the first volume back in 2012 becasue he held a "need" to tell the aincrad story without the insane time skips hence the much loved progressive light novels and manga wich are both still in progress
@@BlackBladeSombra yes I know all of that. I said what I said cause anime-only people think the story was severely cut, cause of the time skips. I was just explaining what it is, not why it’s that way
@@andrewdangvietnameseameric4673it says it in the trailer at 1:34. I’m a dub fan too, mostly because I don’t know Japanese, and I don’t like reading subtitles.
to this day i don't see how any other character but asuna and alice could have fallen in love with kirito. He has friend zoned every one but alice and considering kirito and asuna are in love they're the only ones im okay with
The first SAO arc was so good, but it was only 14 episodes long, I wish that instead of the other 11 episodes of season 1 being that whole fairy arc that nobody liked as much, they should’ve just had more of the first SAO arc for those extra 11 episodes instead, then we would’ve at least had a whole 25 episodes worth of the first SAO arc, would’ve gave them more room to flesh out the series more as well
It's just for the beginning of the movie I'm assuming. It'll focus on Asuna for just a bit but it'll be both her and Kirito once she meets him unless they change how the Progressive novel/manga went as in Progressive we get to see her backstory/school life, and initial experience being stuck in SAO so that's what we're seeing in the trailers but that was all we got and then it starts being in both their POV's If you didn't know, this is gonna be a floor by floor telling of the Aincrad arc with the author aiming to write each individual floor and what happens in each (this movie is only the first floor). Asuna and Kirito will be traveling through these earlier floors together (like floors 25 or so and under) so they'll be together 24/7. Better story than the original and more expanded ideas of how Aincrad works.
@@EricV206 yes i meant both of them as the MC's surely will get screentime together as usual. Asuna will get more pov and since we are going back to aincrad, we will see the hidden parts on earlier floors that are skipped (or begin to retell) and how they team together before finally reunited when Asuna's already got in KoB
I don't know why at first I thought that that girl was Yuna but I see it very unlikely that they will ever do a moment in which she is, even though the truth is that I would love that at some point in the background of the image yuna and eiji appeared together

Lmfaooo I can tell from your pfp
As someone who has read (and is still currently reading) Progressive, it's gonna be amazing if they stick close to the novel.
True but they should follow that *stick close to the novel* thing
Also they should not adapt that manga, it's pretty bad. But from the trailer I feel like they Will adapt the LN mixed with the manga, as the manga was also from Asuna's PoV.
i hope so. they rushed og sao back in s1

Even after all this time I still love the anime SAO and the music it feels iconic in a way
Once I finished see the Movie,now I will know who is really Asuna Yuuki,her friend Mito and Kirito!I can't wait to see what happens next!
Well mito is a character that is original to this movie she was not a character in the anime
😋
I like the idea of seeing the beginning of Sao to asuna's perspective
Мито нет в каноне, её не существует. Фильм полностью бездарен, много косяков.
@@Josh-mv9oo we cannot consider the anime right either since it's lack a lot of character from the light novel

The show would've been so much better if they didn't time skip to floor 70, they could've made an entire series based on them just climbing the tower
agreed, or at least every 5 floor

Maybe we’ll see how she got in the guild
well even the progressive light novels aren't that far yet so i wouldn't expect that to come anytime soon
Is it? i just started the first LN today and so far its like 50/50 her and kirito

it jsut me or something change all am i right the other monster look chage the look is more awesome and amazing :)
I just dont appreciate where the series took kirito to
And the harem just was right at the start

Asuna. 🧡
people keep saying sao was the worst anime , welp I got goosebumps here
To be fair SAO is more on the average tier. (also known as ur typical cliche anime)
no way the first season SAO is even close to the worst anime.. even fairy arc (which i guess is kinda 1st season) isn't close
this is the same studio that gave seven deadly sins to studio deen so im not watching
one person said they hated it and they all jumped in the bandwagon.
It's popular so people tend to downplay it.
Heck yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been looking forward to this for a long time!!!! Can't wait to see it!!!
I love you SAO
sword art online NO. 1❤
and theres still 200 years inside underworld that we need to see.
So...what season 1 first half should have been, but better. Hmm...I'll watch cause first half of SAO was lit.

This is what we're waiting
The theme gets me.

Some scene is the same but the graphics is so cool
