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.

The Progressive film series is a haven for people who want to like SAO but never cared for the story past the Aincrad arc. Taking place months after the first film, notably skipping to the fourth light novel, the story revolves around Asuna and Kirito aiming to stop a nefarious plot that could destroy the two strongest guilds spearheading the death game.

The plotting and writing of the film is no more outstanding than that of a typical anime, but thankfully the pacing is much snappier and on point. The action isn't a showstopper, but action that's fluid and keeps the characters on model is always ...

Mixed Feelings

Outstanding visually and musically, as you'd expect from a SAO movie. However the story feels very lacking. Where Aria of a Starless Night felt like an amazing retelling of the first two episodes of SAO, only greatly expanded and from Asuna's point of view that leaves you anticipating more, this story feels like a letdown of filler that doesn't seem to have any real attachment to the main series. The stakes don't feel dangerous at all in the primary plot, and the much more interesting secondary plot of the movie feels like just a little teaser to keep you interested for what MIGHT come ...

"Save me, Kirito!" is the core theme of this movie - hidden behind a veil of non-existant stakes and definitely interesting dialogue. Sword Art Online isn't the greatest series... Or even close to it. But the original Aincrad part of the series could still pull you in, keep you wanting to see what happens next. This movie does none of those things.

Kirito has no noticeable personality or drives outside of his love for Asuna-san, a love that isn't even touching. Asuna is a strong independant woman who don't need no man... Until she fails to do anything by herself and turns into a damsel in ...
