Sword Art Online (light novel)
| I thought they cleared the game last season, since they are playing a new game shouldn't they call it something else? I understand that in season one, they had two arcs because 1) They want to clear the game and live 2) To save Asuna Now what is the purpose of the story? To continue playing games? |
| The same reason that Etrian Odyssey is still Etrian Odyssey. |

| Well SAO is the catalyst of all the shitstorms (both in the story and in the anime industry) so they didn't need to change the name |
 |
| Because changing your popular 30k per volume selling show's name is fucking stupid? Also the light novel series is called Sword Art Online. The chapters have names though. |
| Same reason with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Seitokai no Ichizon. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
Confucius said: Now what is the purpose of the story? To continue playing games? Your question is as same as why the second arc wasn't "Alfheim Online" instead of "Sword Art Online" The answer: LastChapter said: The title is the series name, not based on the game. Your logic is basically saying that we should change the name of a series every time a new arc starts. oh anyway, this one is the best answer: Beast666 said: Well SAO is the catalyst of all the shitstorms (both in the story and in the anime industry) so they didn't need to change the name |
| Because SAO doesn't stand for sword art online in this case, it stands for sinon ass online. |

fst said: Because SAO doesn't stand for sword art online in this case, it stands for sinon ass online. how I wish that was the actual truth Season 1 wouldn't have been such a miserable experience for me if it indeed had been more about Sinon Ass Online right from the very start. |
| Cause the author had no idea what he was doing, he made a story (SAO arc) to appeal to prepubescent kids and saw it was selling so he made more crap stories but forgot to change the title |
| The first 2 books are not named SAO but Aincrad. All games are based on SAO. whether they were a copy(ALO) or based of the seed(GGO, underworld etc.). Also the MC will allways be playing with swords. |

| They need to copy Twilight SAO saga: Gun gale online yeah lol |

| Marketing. Simple as that. The SAO brand is famous and they would want to carry on that fame as much as possible. If you still name yourself SAO 2 then everyone will know that this is the sequel to SAO. |
| SAO attracts attention because of how either horrible or good it seemed to people, so why change the name? |

LastChapter said: Matsumi_Kuro said: Cause the author had no idea what he was doing, he made a story (SAO arc) to appeal to prepubescent kids and saw it was selling so he made more crap stories but forgot to change the title It was a web novel series that was running for 7 years before it got officially published. Reki kept the title in future arcs before his series even went mainstream since there was no need to. Apply cold water.... |

| Because Sword Art Online. |
jpem said: LastChapter said: Most series aren't usually named after the first arc to begin with.The title is the series name, not based on the game. Your logic is basically saying that we should change the name of a series every time a new arc starts. That's because the first arc isn't called "Sword Art Online" but "Aincrad". The second arc is called Fairy Dance. The third arc is Phantom Bullet. The arcs are never named after the games they play. It's just the fandom decided to call the arcs based on the games featured in the arc... Even though the arcs have their own proper names. I'd say, the reason why the entire series is called "Sword Art Online" is because SAO is the game that started everything. All the arcs following Aincrad are somehow connected to SAO (the game) in some ways. |
