Synopsis

After vanquishing another boss and stepping through the gates of the fifth floor, the misfit duo Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki are greeted with a beautiful landscape of crumbling ruins and catacombs steeped in mystery. This idyllic adventure is short-lived, however. Tensions between the Dragon’s Knights Brigade and the Aincrad Liberation Squad—the two leading guilds focused on clearing Sword Art Online—continue to rise and threaten the fragile stability of the frontline raiding group.

Kirito and Asuna are forced to act quickly, making a desperate gamble and gathering a small number of allies for a dangerous mission. As a result, Asuna and Misumi "Mito" Tozawa must come to terms with their relationship after the near-tragedy that forced them apart on the first floor.

*Disclaimer: tried my best not to spoil anything. However, there could be very minor spoilers.

Sword Art Online: Kuraki Yuuyami no Scherzo is the second movie of the SAO’s progressive series. It covers the 4th volume of the progressive LN (mainly the 5th floor of Aincrad but some events take place on other floors). Overall, I think it’s great.

What I love the most about the progressive series is that they take it slow rather than just skipping all the floors and major events. Just like the first movie, the second movie did this, which is nice. ...

The movie is a continuation of the first Progressive SAO - straight into a meaty fight scene right off the bat. The cinematography is so crisp that you won't want to take your eyes off the screen! This combined with the ear-pleasing sound effects made all the attacks from the Kirito gang so satisfying that it's almost like asmr!

...And that's about it :p

Aside from a cute furry being introduced, the movie felt like a copy and paste of an episode from season 1: a plot that was ok at best, a tonne of scenes with lore I didn't really care about (apart from the ones ...

The Progressive reimagining of SAO could have been an opportunity for Aincrad to be done right, but with the direction things are headed, it will still suffer all of the same problems of the original.

The biggest problem with the movie is that it doesn't really justify being a movie. The story feels like a filler arc because the central conflict is just about maintaining the existing status quo. The consequences of the conflict in the movie are not explored in the movie itself and is instead left as foreshadowing for what could happen in the future of the series. The story probably would have been ...
