Sword Art Online (light novel)
| I found the light novels to be MUCH better then the anime itself |
Alucard-Kenpachi said: The events are about 70% the same.It is the characterization and world building in the anime is that suck ass(note that I like the LN).Hey guys! I just finished SAO and I think it was quite entertaining, time just flew by when I watched this show (I got to admit that the first half of the show appealed more to me than the second half, though the ending was great). So what I just found out from your Posts is that the Light Novels are still ongoing. I wanted to ask if the Anime stayed true to the Light Novels or if they have changed alot? And would you guys recommend reading the Light Novels? Thanks alot And if GGO is going to be made dont get your hopes up.If SAO was bad at those two things then GGO will be even worse. |
| I see. Well, thanks for the information ^^ I guess I'll reread the first half oft the SAO show. Didn't like the Alfheim setting |
Sanity? I can't even remember having a thing like that to start with... |

Blakyx said: No there isnt.If there was, the anime would be in the database here and flame wars and hype would be all over the place.I acctully looked every where for ans but I don't. Seem to find it Is there a season 2 or 3 to Sao called (GGO) ? If yes I really hope to watch it |
| There is a difference between the light novels and the anime, but not so much. I also hate it that they made the manga's even shorter -.- |
| Equality is the the thing that we need in this world. Without it there is no world to live for. |
| Only real difference is the 2nd episode of the anime and the phantom avenger part are not in the SOA light novels (the 1st and 2nd volume). Phantom avenger is a somewhat late side story and the 2nd episode of the anime is part of a somewhat reboot of the light novel series |

| There is something I noticed and I'm not sure about it, but the ones who like SAO are mostly people who play MMORPG's. Am I wrong? |

That's possible.. but good action is good action regardless of where you find it. That's also true but I think the feeling of actualy living inside an MMORPG and fighting for your live is what i think the main reason why MMORPG players love this serie. |

I wouldn't say mostly, but it's definitive a nice plus if you play some MMOs. I think the whole story (at least the first half) is set up neatly. I don't know of anyone who hasn't at least tried a computer game before, and be it just Tetris or some sort of Ping Pong, or Mario, ect... So the setting shouldn't be incomprehensible for anyone to at least slightly grasp this permanent and omnipresent fear of:" If I get killed in the game, I'll die for real". I really like the idea to be honest and probably would have liked it even it was a single player shooter xD The fact that I'm playing MMOs and that the show really implemented details like it was an actual MMO just makes it more decent for me. |

| its just a joke.. not more.. just wait anoter 2 years and see if GGO will be animated or not |
makarov52 said: its just a joke.. not more.. just wait anoter 2 years and see if GGO will be animated or not With the amount of effin' sales they should be doing it a lot earlier. BUT OH WELL, they always do this shit, think of Highschool DxD, Infinite Stratos, Freezing, etc. |

FinalSynFrey said: makarov52 said: its just a joke.. not more.. just wait anoter 2 years and see if GGO will be animated or not I'm for sure they will animate It. If SAO is really popular, then why wouldn't they make a Season 2? But I do hope If they do decide to Animate It, It better not screw up like SAO did. Personally, the only thing I enjoyed there was the fighting scenes. I understood the Story, but I kinda felt that I skipped some Episodes. Oh well. They didn't screw up if they sold so much, by the way. |

The point is in the light novels there are a lot more details and side stories and the animation is made from the light novels. The things that aren't animated still come back a little in the story. So basically you really did miss some parts. ^^ |

"Yeah, same as you, I hate how his sister was in love with him. I was like "What? That doesn't make sense". X( I still liked Kirito though." |

| Oh no I got that.. But it still doesn't make sense. |

Red_Keys said: Oh no I got that.. But it still doesn't make sense. Maybe the last part does not tie for you with the first, but I could explain it and you can choose one of these two explanations, note that these are the ones I see fit. It looks like he "blames" Kirito for Suguha liking him OR he disliked everything about the show except for Kirito. |

| oh culture.. anyway im going to throw in my opinion whether anyone cares to here it or not (tought shit if you do XD), i believe that there will be a ggo series but not soon. they are gonna sit on their fat wallets from sao for a while and when it finally starts to deflate a little in a year or so they will be like, ok guys my a**cheak isnt soor from sitting sideways anymore so lets make the next one finally. |

| Because they usually put all the money they've got from the first season in the second... That way there wouldn't be any anime, it's all about profit. |

| Maybe this should be another forum question all together, but is anyone else scared for them to release ggo like I am? I read the short stories and they were good, but i just hope they can pull it off if they do... Long story short i think that will kinda kill its popularity if they dont play it off right.. |

I agree the sad thing is, we won't actually know if there'll be a season 2 until January 1st (about a day after the Extra Edition release) as at the end, there is said to be a hint to whether they'll have a season 2 or not. Also, seeing that they did so well with season 1 (Aincrad and ALO Arcs) and kept with the story with a few minor mishaps, they were excellent, so the chances of Season 2 are quite high! |
 you know, I once said I'd never get addicted to something... well I'm still not Forum Avatar Size needs an update to atleast 600kb instead of 51kb, can barely have any gif in here unless it's black and white aaaand they need to allow gifs -_- |
| GGO won't be happening till maybe 2014, if were lucky |
koroX said: A_Medic said: GGO won't be happening till maybe 2014, if were lucky do you know if it is early 2014 or late 2014? No one knows, like Medic said it may happen in 2014, though I doubt it would go past 2015 since the anime has a huge fanbase and is selling well. |
