Well, i definitely prefer one over the other. Don't know about you.


I mean it's not like there's only these two options, but to each their own I guess.


Well, i agree with you. Problem is that japanese writers seem either incapable of doing new stuff, or lack creativity in the character department.

I have some bad news. I just found out Kirito and Asuna make multiple apearances in this. I really hope it would only be cameos


*Screams Internally*

Ahem .. Can anyone who has read the source material please confirm? Judging from the cover and the synopsis , Hopefully It is just a cameo or two..

The change in author still gives me hope though .. Who knows Kirito would be less Cringey because its by a different author (Even if he does come in the cameos) ..


Judging from the key visual, the anime will most likely only cover 3 out of 5 currently on-going novel. There's no actual appearance, just mentions, like Pitohui said she once asked Sinon to sell her Hecate or there was this dude in last BoB tournament that fight using a beam sword.

Thank you for clarifying!

As long as Kirito is not there then I will be watching. Ever since he called himself the “Black Swordsman” I hated his guts tbh

Oh come on! It's Sword Art Online doesn't mean "Kirito the movie"!
Give this anime spin-off a chance!

I'm glad that Kirito and the main cast aren't going to be the main lot since I like this video game war setting.

As a big fan of SAO, I'll watch it and get a 10/10 from me indefinitely. I mean, what could possibly go wrong.

I'm watching it just so i can contemplate how bad it will be (or maybe it will be better since there's no Kirito...?)

Let's just start by saying that I dislike SAO, but I brought SAO Fatal Bullet on Steam (actually a very good game, logged 67 hours on it) because you do not play as Kirito,
, and then I just discovered that there is going be an anime for LLENN and her crew of misfits. Now I have to watch it.

Yeah I will be watching this anime for mainly that reason. The concept of SAO has always intrigued me but the poorly written bland OP MC kept me from giving SAO a shot. I hope the OST matches the previous installments to go along with fresh and interesting characters.

im watching it because i like guns and swords

A new main character is well needed, but come on we all know that the twerp or one of his minions (hopefully sinon aka shino who is in the original gun gale) will be brought in as a supporting character.

SAO without Kirito, with a different writer, and made by my favorite plucky little studio (3Hz). Seems at least worth watching a few episodes :)

Yep, pretty much. Also a new studio with beautiful animation that sets it apart.

I'm only watching it solely because I've read the novel beforehand so this wouldn't apply to me. I like Kirito... but while I don't have anything against the main female protagonist, she isn't... for the lack of a better word "the best" to say, writing wise. Her background isn't very easy to stomach personally.

The writing of this show is less about the story and more about "how much does the author know about guns." Which is fine until it is taken a lot of what the series is presenting towards which stopped me from continuing the novel afterwards.

Well, I'd really like to see Shinon in this one, but absence of Asuna is a great improvement for the series. And really glad to see more Fuka and Lenn in upcomming show. They were adorable in the game.

I'm going to give this a try, too. Didn't really hate SAO until they go Gun Gay Online in S2. But I'm also kinda glad that there's no original cast. And it looks like it has a female MC so why not?

Btw does anyone know this is 1-cour or 2-cour?

It doesn't matter to me whether there are Kazuto and Shino or not to watch this.

To me, this is just a similar case to Accel World.
Im not interested in Accel World though, that series is kind of confusing to me.
Not really fan of too much of robot looking avatars and its colors.

And this Alternative GGO, is seems good enough to watch for me.

People loves grown up women more?
Yes, that's exactly what the main character has to hear because she has complex with her physically grown up appearance.
Looking like a little pink rabbit, a rare breed.
So it is something like she is begging herself to be hunted by lolic-- , um hunters.
As long as she keeps playing GGO, it is a rabbit season.
And those lolicon hunters shouldn't be disappointed if they met the actual player in real life.

Well my reason for watching because its SAO, so naturally as fan, I'll watch it.

Currently reading SAOAGGO novels right now, its still felt like Reki writing but in the hands of Kino author, cause well he supervised this spinoff. Its canon woooh, cameos if there will be here I come.

I also thought not having Kirito in this show would be great but sadly it's set in GGO the least interesting out of the 3 games in Sao so it's still Kind a boring

I always liked SAO because of the concept (was this the first big isekai?) but hated the adventures of Kirito and his Harem™ so this might be a breath of fresh air.

Add some lolis and not A-1 pictures? Why the fuck not? It might even be great.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

Personally, I do like SAO. I'm watching this even though it's nothing like SAO, because I like many things.

It's funny how Kino no Tabi's author was like: "it's a world where people can shoot each other with guns all they want, and nobody dies! Genius! I want to write that!". So, this is mostly a story about shooting.

Minor spoiler: Yes, don't expect anything more than a cameo appearance of any of the SAO's main cast in here.
