| More Garbage Art Online. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| I Think I'm Gonna Skip this or I am gonna wait till it finishes or gets a few eps out. I Think I Would be Skipping alternative too if it wasn't a spin off. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| They also confirmed to do the whole arc good luck new director and designers seems interesting |
| All the hype!! I'm hoping A1 does a continuous 50 episode run rather than going split cour of 2 25 ep seasons. It'll probably be the latter though. :^( |
 |
| Hype, can't wait for even more SAO bashing :^) |

ClickBaitBuster said: What? no Suguha in this arc? 2/10. Sugu will appear later in the story... |
 |
| Ah, glad they changed the director, I know this guy will be able to deliver exposition even more boringly than the novels did now. What the hell are you changing directors now, A-1. But hey, maybe this means they are still open for that Progressive anime (not with this director though, please), Itou Tomohiko said he didn't want to tell the same story that was already told but hey, he's not the director anymore sooo. |

|
| Well, nice to have a date I guess, but I'll only get hyped once they say how many episodes there are. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Eugeo is far better than Kirito's cheap bitches harem, which fortunately won't appear until very lateron |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I can't wait to cringe. I also heard the 2 new heroines got raped, so I hope that gets animated. |
 |
| Adapt the whole arc, huh? 50 episode confirmed. |
| The box art looks like from completely different genre. |
 |
| fall 2018 hype hype !! |
 |
| Let's see what the "best arc" of SAO has to offer. |
| Just̰͙͔͈ͧͣͫͨ́ Mon͓̮͓ͧ̿̅̒͗iͨ̅̇ͤ̑̇͒̚҉̘̪ka͓͕͓̱̯͂͋́͗ |
| I did not expect them to change director. Either way, looking forward to this. |

A little clarification/spoiler, just in case you're interested in the fact you mentioned: I wonder if Kawahara has rape fetish. In every new arc of SAO, there's always someone, a new heroine becoming the victim of a attempted rape. Kawahara really should just go all the way with it. The characters in this arc are actually AIs/bots right? |

mizukasa said: They're portrayed as humans without a physical body. They're "real souls" that can learn, grow up, and die like every other human's, but they have no real body (only the one in the world they live in). It feels really cruel when right at the start of the series they show what one of these 'humans' would see/feel if they're not in that world.Ainosense said: A little clarification/spoiler, just in case you're interested in the fact you mentioned: I wonder if Kawahara has rape fetish.

So where did they come from? Were they "once" real humans who had a physical body? If they were created by programmers using a computer then those are what you call an artificial intelligence- masked as "wannabe human" so we'll feel some sympathy or empathy for them, thus forcing some drama once again for their artificial suffering. Lul. As for the rape part, I think it's the only way to destroy Kirito and the destruction of one's sanity while watching his waifu's suffering is always entertaining to see. |

| Nice to hear will be boradcasted this fall, i read it have a good amount of drama and from the comments above from people who read the novels seems so, but i like both Overlord and SAO for this, they do not make compromises and go straight to the point. This will be a good fall season for drama isekai fans, and hopefully they will announce the third season of Overlord too. <3 |
| Sounds interesting. I haven't read the LN for SAO but hope this adaptation will turn out alright! |
changelog_ said: If it's well done (the way it is in the novel - or better) you'll surely love Asuna's first appearance in the underworld, and her influence in the story from then on.Wasshio said: But this is because it isn't about Asuna at all? I mean she appears little but this is more focusing on Eugeo and Alice rather than Kirito himself. He's more of a secondary character in this arc. And being fair if you're going to give it a 1 because of the fact that she's not going to appear until probably Volume 18, then its best to just not watch the arc altogether. Just saying. Of course I'm not going to give it a one, that was a joke. I'm still annoyed with little appearance of Asuna since I only watch SAO for Asuna. That's just why I watch it, though. |
| Well, the director change shoudn't impact the show that much. I mean, Ito is a good director, but SAO never had a particular direction style that you could attribute to him. The show relied more on it's episode staff, especially on the animators and action directors (on S1 Takahiro Shikama, on S2 Tetsuya Takeuchi). True, Ono isn't a great director but he does have a knack for action. Sooo... might be cool. |
| This is not a PV. That's a fucking teaser. |

| Fantastic news. This is one of the best arcs in the series. Can't wait to see it when it comes out in fall 18 |

| Hope this one gets better this time. Cause every time they made a sequel, it will be getting worse and worse. |

Yes. That's what I will except. |
| Looking forward to how this turns out. |
  |
| Now I can get hype, yeah :D Though, when will people stop with the harem stuff ? Alicization is almost a complete shift from the rest of the series. People are expecting stuff that won't be there,lol. If they get disappointed because of it then ... they are rather strange people |

 |
| Hit or miss depending on if they properly adapt the arc and don't miss so much out that it leaves LN readers feeling cheated |
