I feel like that might be a few years.


Well he releases 3 volumes of SAO each year if I'm not mistaken, so at most 2 more years till it is finished ;-)

Maybe with his new series he will lower the pace a bit, but I doubt it as most is already written in the web novel so he only changes little things apart from occasional new chapters.

It would help for people here who like me will be buying the series if when he starts into the new material he slows it down so that we can slowly catch up. Too bad the new stuff won't start until volume 19 or 20.

Of course new material isn't actually confirmed, but it seems it may happen.

Holy shit I was just thinking the other day why it wasn't like this in the first place.. Is it too far a head? Like would I be able to catch up if I start sometime soon?

2 books and if you are in the United States (like me) it just recently got licensed for 2015.
Wait. So this SAO Progressive thing is like a retelling of the series right?! Except there gonna go a lot more In depth right?

Yeah, compared to No Game No Life, SAO is definitely "overhated]".

I would agree with overrated for SAO II though, since a lot of the people who truly hated the first season probably aren't even watching the second one, unless it's to make fun of it. Which I can also understand.

SAO had plenty of dumb shit, but it wasn't nearly as ridiculous as NGNL and yet people don't seem to hate NGNL as much.


The difference between SAO and NGNL's ridiculousness is that NGNL doesn't take itself all that seriously to begin with. It's wacky, absurd and almost comically over the top from the word go. SAO tries to be super serious so ridiculousness is easier to notice and all the more jarring.

Yes as I said 2 times already exactly that. :-D

Player interaction becomes way more important and solving quests for better weapons and armor is also in the focus, as is farming for blacksmithing.

Sorry but that can't seriously be true when SAO II is less than an 8.00 and it is superior to season 1 which is rated 8.20+ currently.

Amazon should also deliver books to Jordan, so don't give up! :-D

Well for the rating the reason is most likely that we still have many people who disliked the first season, hence giving SAO II a bad voting.

On the other hand we are missing the voters which vote for the action scenes with Kirito as there are none of those till now xD

But, there are also those who disliked the first season but now find the second season way better.

Starting from the next episode the plot starts going and so do the battles but episode 4 will still have a decent amount of exposition, as Kirito is a noob in GGO mechanics ;-)

You'll probably see it in episode 5 or 6. I'm curious how trap!Kirito will sound in this anime, since it's supposedly girlish enough to fool people in GGO.

Popularity doesn't necessarily effect the rating and he also didn't mean the actual rating of the anime.

He meant because of popularity people usually have way too high of expectations.

This guy obviously hates the SAO series very much. PLEASE RENAME THE THREAD TO: I THE BUTTHURT HATER WANTS TO KNOW WHY THE ANIME I HATE HAS A HIGH SCORE.

You know what I notice? Anime fans get butthurt over the most trivial things, and they think they're so kewl on the interwebs. Whenever I need a good laugh I come here. Are you guys like 12? I mean, who gives a shit if a bunch of people like an anime on MAL and give it a high score? Nobody even takes MAL scores seriously anymore, 95% of the users on this site are a bunch of TROLLZ.

Anyways the most overrated anime in history is NGNL. I mean there isn't really any difference between NGNL and SAO. It smells like the same shit to me. It's like everybody else is stupid and they are smart. If somebody can logically explain to me the deep and intricate story of NGNL I will delete this troll account.

No not really, the average user that picks up an anime either because it's rated high, it's popular, and every person with a computer is over hyping it, is going to expect something more than just wish fulfillment. Especially the anime only watchers that are going into it blind.

So do people that fall into that category have a few screws loose? I think not. Do I have a few screws loose? HELL NO I'M SANE I'M A NORMAL PERSON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes they do. Any normal person would look up some info on the anime before he/she starts it. Going in blind is stupid.

I saw this thread coming though, and I saw the exact same replies about why people hate SAO 2 by using reasons that they primarily got from Season 1. Love how people continuously watch the show just to criticize it for absolutely no reason using buzzwords brought on by the same guy who unknowingly acquired legions of fanboys because of his blind hatred towards the series. Fanboys of SAO seem to be extinct with their presence alone. I wonder what percentage of these people even bothered watching the first episode of Season 1 to begin with.

Deja vu is lovely.
