Sword Art Online (light novel)
| What do you think will it cover, having 24 episodes? Of course it will cover GGO, not sure if I want Mothers Rosario in it. Scratch that, I dont, unless it only lastes 2-3 episodes tops. And then what? (Thats until where I read the LN) |
| Mother's Rosario will probably get animated, but I hope GGO will be longer than just 12 episodes. |
 |
| All I can say is.... I will be super pissed if they make GGO 24 episodes. All that would mean is they cut Aincrad short (risk management) and then made some decent money... then in a stroke of stupidity made GGO longer to milk the series. Aincrad deserved 24 episodes to flesh it out properly. I'd rather see them redo the series then make GGO longer than the 16 episodes it needs to be told. This could have been a great series, relegated to decent/average by poor foresight. |

| ^i doubt it...the didn't animated that place "Jötunheimr" in the original anime..they would have problems introducing it now, still, 12 chapter seems more than enough for the whole BoB tournament...up until the point when kirito goes with the bike to get sinon(ep 13 i guess) ...then, i guess mother rosario and then....damm, they surely won't animate the next arc....i hope, i mean, they need at least 25 more chapters just for 4 volumes of the alice story....and i would use 50 just for that.... guess they are going to extend a lot mother's rossario and the BoB,...if i had to guess |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| So we can be expecting Absolute Zero? |
| I think there will be ~14 episodes for GGO, additional ~6-8 for Mothers Rosario and the rest with Caliber from Volume 9... Can't imagine they want to fill all the 24 episodes just with GGO. |

| As others mentioned, Mothers Rosario, Caliber and GGO. How they gonna do it is an unsure thing though, maybe they will mix the flashbacks? maybe they will put them in that order? It depens, but if they have any plans to mix 2 of these or all three in some way, expect either a flop for bad managment or a huge hit for innovation. The series, despite the hate, is a huge hit in Japan though, business-wise, therefore I don't see them taking any risks by editing the source material. I wouldn't be surprised to see SAO 3 and 4 following in the coming years. SAO was a huge hit in Japan and they should have more than enough fanbase to cover a successful anime-release, spanning over 4-5 seasons. |
| Well ,that depends on if they have enough source material to back those seasons up. |
LastChapter said: My conjecture: Phantom Bullet - 13 episodes Caliber (plus the Jötunheimr flashback that the first season skipped) - 3 episodes The Day After - 1 episode Mother's Rosario - 6 episodes Aliciziation Beginning (up until that cliffhanger) - 1 episode There isn't much material to adapt from GGO until Alicization unless A-1 is willing to go back and animate all the things they skipped in Aincrad. I hate cliffhangers at the end of a season so I hope they won't include it even as a LN reader. It belongs to the alicization arc imho. Also it would be nice to include "the day after" |

I hope that you are correct. I would not mind if they did a special season with all of the stuff from Aincrad that was left out, but that is just wishful thinking. |

| Yea. After I reread it, I realized that GGO isn't that long after all. I still wish they'd have used 24 episodes for SAO+the extra stuff within those years, would have turned out better IMO. |
|
| Am I the only one who'd like for Mother's Rosario to be animated as a movie? |
| Well, it's got a lot of feels, that's for sure. |
Sung-Hwan said: Arkane said: Well, it's got a lot of feels, that's for sure. what's the shittiest arc in the whole novel series? Eh, I liked all the arcs honestly. Aincrad introduced the VRMMO, Fairy Dance introduced the concept of flying freely in said VRMMO. Gun Gale Online had guns, and Alicization had... an even more realistic VRMMO. Yeah, I have an interest in VRMMO stuff, but who doesn't? |
| im guessing until the end of GGO Alicization is too early |
| I don't think they will be stupid enough to make mother's rosario. It would be WAY to slow for the kind of things that the fans would expect. Fairy dance arc was bad enough. |

If anyone have ever read the end of SAO web novel (about equal to vol 15 of the LN), the ending of alicization arc is even more mind-blowing. It's crazy, there are a lot of things I'm not expecting in the end... For example : |
ninjastarforcex said: GGO - Mother Rosario the ending kirito getting shot and "see you in season 3" To animate this, they'd have to animate the two lengthy prologues leading up to it, which would require much more than a few episodes. Unless they animate it out of context to fuck with viewers and start the next season with the first prologue. hyperknees91 said: LastChapter said: Literally what happens after that will give anyone a mindfuck if they haven't read it.

It had one giant timeskip. Because it was originally meant for a short story contest, and he wanted to write about the end.

| GGO (hoping for 16-20 episodes), relevant side stories (i.e. Excalibur) and Mother's Rosario should fill the season. Alternatively they may make stuff up and put some non-LN stories into the GGO arc and make it a full season of GGO. ADD: Having read Aincrad arc and all side stories that took place during Aincrad period, I can say with confidence that there was absolutely no way that they could have made the Aincrad arc anime any longer than it was. Just for some perspective, the Aincrad side stories that were animated are 2-3 times longer (in text) than the original Aincrad arc itself (floor 74 & 75). |
| GGO - 15 eps Calibur- 4 eps MR - 5 eps And then: Hello SAO III (Aliciziation arc) |
