| This way actually way better than I remembered. SAOs final boss was supposed to be Heathcliff. Not that thing here. But otherwise it tied in everything so far quite well. Personally all those ALO and GGO players showing up was a bit over the top but Asuna using Zekkens skill was nice. Animation and OST is still solid. And once again it showed that Aincrad is actually what makes SAO good. (I saw Alicization, everone talking about AI and ignoring Yui lmao) Though I still hope to see a more in depth take on it one day, the potential is still untapped. PS: Agil is still the man. No shame in going to a virtual idol concert with a bunch of teenagers. |

| Movie was a huge fan service to people that loved season 1. That much is clear. Also, pretty sure Heathcliff was supposed to be the final boss. If I remember correctly, he was going to betray the players upon getting to the final boss area on the top floor. I'll admit that it was nice seeing all the players including Yuuki show up in the final battle. Also, while Yuuna's death was sad, why not just copy memories of people and bring her back as an AI? If you can scan memories and remove them from people, why not just make copies? Eiji should've known to that his memories were going to be needed since they were always together. Finally, that ring he put on her finger.....was that an engagement ring or a promise ring? I'm hearing differing opinions. For me, I'd prefer it a promise ring. |

| Surprisingly good movie, it had the OG vibes of SAO as well as the same thought-provoking themes of individuality and what it means to exist. After watching SAO II and GGO, the hype has surely returned wit this movie. onto Alicization. |
| I forgot what happened to Yuuna. Did she vanish or what? I loved her singing. But she showed up in SAO Aliicization underworld, and now I am trying to recall what happened. |
 |
| Miss me with this shit, I can enjoy the show without watching the movie ahaha though I had literally no hype when these two nobodies came in cuz I was like who tf are these guys |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Been catching up to SAO lately, so I know I’m late to the party. I was surprised by this movie. Animation was better than the series, and I personally liked the AR concept because I have a preference towards them over VR. Anyway, the plot, like the tv series before it, has its issues; but the action scenes were pretty good. SAO just can’t do romance right though, and Kirito and Asuna’s moments together were quite cringeworthy, and I’m a fan of romance in anime. Oh well, not a bad watch. |
| I enjoyed this movie! I thought the 2 hour run time was good. I thought it was funny that they needed some excuse to villainize AR because they want VR to still be the main method in future seasons (haven't watched Alicized yet but that's my assumption). The evil dad wanting to save his daughter was too easy of a plot line, and I agree the AR fighting had some plot armor because the physics made no sense. I liked the romance despite it being cheesy, I feel like it was missing throughout season 2. The nod to Yuuki when Asuna jumped into the action scenes towards the end was a nice touch. Great action scenes and hype OST. My only annoyance with finding a stream is that when trying to legally rent it on prime video, there is only the dub version. Wish netflix or CR just licensed it for US |

| Never expected Kanno Yuuki to appear again. This movie is enjoyable to say the least. I really wish that 100th boss floor appeared in the first season of SAO. |

| SAO, It's good to be back. I'm glad there's a whole bunch of content now since I last watched the Yuuki arc years ago. T_T The final fight was hype with the unified front of all worlds. It's always good to see flashes of Kayaba/Heathcliff too. On to the new arcs! |
 |
| The development of the story and romance was cliché as ever so something surprising, but at least it was enjoyable + good animation, even though it is 2 hours long it felt like 1h~ |
 |
| This is the worst anime movie I've ever seen. The number of plot holes is astronomical, I simply can't get myself to point them out. It took me 5 hours to watch this because the plot holes gave me actual depression. The background art was pleasant. The animation is cool, but not memorable whatsoever because the choreography is asinine, The final fight was just stuff moving super fast and I couldn't understand a single thing. The best part of the entirety of SAO [other than Mother's Rosario] is definitely the two seconds of Asuna's side nipple, had to rewatch that like ten times. 4/10, better than the first season. |
 |
| After the failed cinema for 5 years in France, I finally saw watching! It's an excellent film that I finally finish between the second season and the whole part of Alicization! |
| It would probably be a lot of broken bones and damaged property, but man having such an advanced online augmented reality game would be so much fun. Thinking about the details would probably tear the whole thing apart, but I like the idea of turning solid objects into other things in the game so that the player would know that there is something in the way, like turning a parked car into a pile of wooden barrels. That wasn't too bad actually, can't deny it that it was a pretty fun two hours. If nothing else, it's worth it just to watch for some solid movie production quality; particularly in the aincrad boss fights of course. Those were well done. At the very least I think it was OK. Forgettable, cringe in typical SAO fashion, but still OK. 5/10 Kind of makes me want to pick up Alicization. Maybe one day. I wouldn't mind seeing Kirito dual-wield again. |

| Nice start, I liked it. The animation and fights were on point as always, the OST was also nice, but that ending was just dumb. It makes sense this isn't canon. There were 2 big inconsistencies that were kind of annoying for me. Right at the end of season 2, we see Kirito having dinner at Asuna's house, while introducing himself to her parents, but here he never met them. And then the 100th floor' boss. Akihiko made the game with himself as the boss for the 100 floor in mind, not some random big thing that makes no sense, I found it really annoying, but since it seems like it was an original movie, I don't mind it as much now. However I still didn't enjoy how everyone just appeared out of nowhere at the end, even the characters that were never relevant, and with the power of friendship defeated the boss. It was fun to see Kirito changing from rank 2 to rank 1 and the fight between him and that annoying kid. And even if I didn't like the last boss fight, seeing Kirito in his old SAO clothes fight it using his skill was great. Akihiko's appearance here and there was also something I liked. AND THEN THAT POST-CREDITS ENDING! So Kikuoka took the stage and created a VR world? Can't wait for Alicization. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Really good film, definitely enjoyed this much more than SAO S1 & 2. The action was awesome, the art and animation is definitely a big step up to what was released before. Music is always good. Also, Asuna Nipple 😏😏😏 8/10 |

| This was some 1984 + Black Mirror shit, everyone's terminally online and someone just keeps going around wanting to kill them. That final boos fight was the most cheesy deus ex machina thing I could imagine. They even brought characters that were entirely unimportant to the general plot of the series to fight the last boss, lmfao. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Battles were excellent, the story was ok in this one, it just felt a little bland and rehashed. Overall cause of the battles I give it 7/10. |

| This was an amazing movie, the fact this movie is not Canon but its content is literally something out of the original sword art online plot makes it really good. The plot of AR(augmented reality) was talked back in season 2 but seeing it properly on movie with lots of flashy actions and dazzling animation was a great experience. Kirito being cautious about this AR thingy from the very beginning was right on point but without those sao memory extracting thing, it's a great technology nonetheless. Was wondering why there's 18+ mild nudity tag in SAO and than BAAM!!! asuna's nipple in 1080p!!!! She was incredibly thicc in that bath scene, glad animation isn't the only thing that was upgraded from the first season ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) There are several thing in this movie that makes this movie Canon to me, aincrad was completed in lvl 75 thanks to kirito identifying kayaba but because of that so many upper lvl boss never gets a proper introduction, even the main final boss wasn't supposed to appear because kayaba make himself the final boss but thanks to this movie the last boss gets rightful treatment it deserves. The 100 floor boss literally named "An incarnation of the radius" which is the short form of aincrad, Definitely the final boss of the death game Kirito literally become a god in the end of this movie, when he appeared in front of yuuna with number 1 ranking appear over his head and started to delete those boss enemies in single swing from that huge sword is such a massive flex lol The animation of this movie was gorgeous, compared to the previous 2 seasons its way too good. Even for movie standard, A-1 picture goes too hard on this movie, the last fight between everyone vs lvl 100 boss was simply amazing, It was a pure animation fest. The sword clashing and other type of sound design was also changed and it feels more modernised. Yuuna's song was also great, even without the buff listening to it as background song during fight also gets you hyped up. The soundtrack was good too. Kirito and asuna kissing each other not once but twice definitely makes this movie worth watching, after the first 2 season this movie feels like the starting bridge of a new big arc and the post credit scene spoils it with that room. Watching this movie makes me extra hype up for the Alicization arc. I had an absolute blast watching this movie and it was definitely worth the time. 9/10 |
| This was perfection :D Great movie, had everything that previous season of anime lacked. fighting scene, fast paced, music, emotions, great plot and best of all nude Asuna! What more to ask for?:D |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
