| Any news on when this will be released? |
 |
| I loved every single second of this movie. What an amazing movie! I’m really looking forward to the next one. |
 |
| Did the author make this politically correct like he said in the interview? |
 |
| I dont care what people say about this anime. It is still my favorite after 6 years. |
| Pretty cool movie. I wish Asuna was like that in the main series. 7/10 |

| animation top notch, story-wise it was decent enough, I feel like they followed the script properly. It was interesting to see how this anime still alive despite the years. Seeing it now is just amazing and it makes you proud you reached this moment. Asuna pov quite good, Kirito my man always doing the work. I just can't say that Sao is not good because it definitely has something in it that makes it good. |

| Man this movie was released back in October last year, and I watched this now. Sigh... I guess I should visit theatres every now and then. I was never a fan of Asuna, and most probably will never become after all these time, though that goes for most of the girls in this series except a certain someone. This movie did a good job to make anyone reconsider their thoughts on Asuna. Well betrayal always makes anyone stronger, so maybe it was indeed needed lol. Though anyways I already hate this new character, watching her anymore will be a pain. Most of the things in later half was already something we saw back in first season, but still few things not making sense to me like that Kirito saving Asuna from plant monsters, anything whatsoever about Mito was never mentioned in the whole of 100+ episodes of this series. Guess that's what the abundance of anime original content feels like. Animation being a standout not surprising to me, given it's a movie and also this series had this thing going with it for as long as I can remember. Same for that catchy soundtrack. That floor boss fight sure brought back memories, well Aincrad was one of the arcs I genuinely liked to some extent. Great to again relive the godly deeds of Kirito-sama, the one and only BEATER. A good movie in all honesty even considering it was all from Asuna's perspective. 7/10. I hope I won't be this much late for the next one lol. |
 |
| Finally watched this movie, I didn't get the chance to catch it in theatres. I overall liked the movie, adding anime original scenes wasn't as bad as I thought Also the ending theme animation was a reference to sao season 1's ending theme yumesekai by the looks of it overall 8/10 enjoyable and recommended |
| OH FINALLY after 6+ months of waiting I can finally watch it digitally! This was pretty good especially for sao. It was nice watching the Aincrad arc with a little bit of a brand new plot and watching it in Asuna's POV instead of just all Kirito. The sakuga fight scene with the raid boss was pretty cool too. 8/10 |

| did they make the girls less sexy on purpose or is it me? |
|
| That last battle sequence was so sick, I love seeing this newer animation style with SAO, fits much better than the S1 and S2 versions. It's also nice following around Asuna and her adventures with Kito and Kirito, I think it's really refreshing to see. Wonder if Argo will play a part next season, I only know of her from the games. |
 |
| Amazing movie loved every second of it only bad thing about this is that i cant watch it in the cinema unfortunetly....Cant wait for the next one |

vampirenazuna said: koala12345 said: kirito is the least overpowered MC much better than the main story that's for sure and we don't have to see kirito's overpowered bs every single time. 8/10 just because aincrad skipped 70 floors doesnt make him overpowered. he literally suffers the most from most characters, hes manipulated by the government and abused emotionally for it. Actually truez but the timeskip makes it seems like he is OP, actually he maxed out his levels than the other players so he is no. 1 but he had to put in a lot of work, in the LN he says how he does side quests and boosts his level, just like how he adviced Klein on the first episode. |

Anayan_Kashyap said: Kayle_x_Morgana said: did they make the girls less sexy on purpose or is it me? they are kids bruh, let them grow up....this movie is supposed to be a pg-13🙂 lmfao what? So what was the difference between this and the previous SAO when they were still under 18. and tons of other shows with sexy looking 14yo/underage girls? |
|
| Such a refreshing arc with asuna pre-waifu mode. The edgy Aincrad days we loved are finally back. It was a bit unsettling seeing the art difference, but I feel like it shifted back at the end scene.(Maybe a representation of fetus KiritoxAsuna vs the ones they are in present day? Or maybe it's closer to LN version of them). Kind of relieved Mito didn't become a martyr, and that Asuna forgave her in a way that's reasonable. Death changes a person. Also paused to see that Mito kept the braided look even during the match. No I'm not crying. Power of friendship /s . The drop item ends up being an item she can use to beat level 99. Was the secret Kirito was hiding regarding the rare mob? Or plot twist, he peeped in the shower bwahaha. Did anyone notice? My memories a bit hazy, but it seems like they rewrote a lot of the original content (i.e. -- I might be remembering a different fight stage -- but Kirito didn't expose his dual wielding). It seems to match/promote the game more with the idea of the switch--which although lowkey annoying that such a minor detail changed so much-- I don't hate it. Anyways, it seems like Kirito and Asuna got a death flag on their heads for being too OP. That or this is how Asuna gets scouted for the guild life. I don't hate it, although it made me question everything since it's been so long since we've seen the original. But at the very least, even though this is a movie form -- it seems likely we'll see a continuation of this. |
SneakyAssasin said: Has this movie been dubbed? And if so is there anywhere (as in websites) where I can watch it. Thanks for any help with this in advance. Yes, it has been dubbed. But sadly the dub doesn't have a release date yet... |
Anayan_Kashyap said: Kayle_x_Morgana said: did they make the girls less sexy on purpose or is it me? they are kids bruh, let them grow up....this movie is supposed to be a pg-13🙂 Agreed let kids look like kids instead of sexy bombshells. I know most of the time this is not done, which is why even more special here. The focus on "fan service" was little and you could tell since they actually focused on action and emotional aspects. |
Leonhart93 said: well, progressive don't have much Ecchi scenes, just lots of bath scenes.....at least one on each floor, like we got to see Asuna bathing in this movie & Ordinal Scale, the same way.....other than that, Kirito makes silly jokes and the environment becomes funny, but compared to og SAO, progressive have very little such scenes.Agreed let kids look like kids instead of sexy bombshells. I know most of the time this is not done, which is why even more special here. The focus on "fan service" was little and you could tell since they actually focused on action and emotional aspects. |

| "Nostalgic yet terrifying." That what I felt when I watched the first part of the movie. The terrifying nightmare of the main characters. The introduction to Aincrad was like a revamped version of the first season and the dramatic entrance of Kayaba was upgraded to, although from the first season was really sucked. The nostalgia came in but in the second half, it felt garbage like the story wasn't connected to the main season. In other words, CONTRADICTING. I don't know where this is going but I hope the next movie will somehow connect to the main story from the first season. Animation was dope and it's like I want a full remake of the series from season 1. For now, it's 7/10. It's good but it's meh... |

| seeing the va's delivering the same scene (like i.e kirito meeting asuna in the boss meeting) but they had different feels to ofc match the flows half of this is og, so read the manga at a glance, overall, aside from mito's part, it went more or less the same, except they made argo nonexistent again LMFAO |
| I am extremely disappointed with Misumi character setting, I thought she was competitive see how the movie showing her lose to Kirito in the flaskback. What is the fucking purpose for that flaskback for fuck sake.... I really hope she got improved somehow in the next one. |

| Reminded me of what I thought SAO was supposed to become after I watched the first ep of the original one. If they don't skip floors and do ass pulls, series will be good |

| This movie is so weird, it was supposed to adapt Progressive, but we ended up seeing 90% of what we already knew, and sooo little of new stuff, this movie is basically a "recap" of SAO. Pretty sad and disappointing for a fan, not gonna lie... Let's not forget that Progressive by itself creates plot holes for the franchise, but they went even further beyond and added an original character that creates plot holes for even Progressive! I assume the positive vibes are from the non-novel readers that just realized SAO can be good, I would still recommend the novel for those that liked the movie, it's even better... |

 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
Kays90 said: I just don't understand why they changed a couple of scenes & dialogues from the main show. I happened to watch first 2 episodes of SAO Season 1 just before watching the movie, so I clearly noticed the points they changed in the movie and that kinda ruins the storyline. The changes were in basic elements like Sword of Floor 1 boss, the Mito-Asuna-Kirito switches between fights (Mito wasn't engaged in the fight in main show, basic conversation before & after fight between Kirito & Asuna, and so on. Some of these changes contradict what happened in main show. Progressive will contradict SAO's main-series. |

In the main SAO series, there wasn't any 1st floor Boss raid to begin with, Reki has already written the 1st half of Progressive by then so he gave his script (progressive 1st floor Boss raid) and wanted to add it to the anime, and so s1 also adapted the 1st floor of progressive. This anime is basically the recap, just because you've already seen floor 1 in ep 1&2,, but you've never seen every floor in detail, so wait for the next movie.... till now Progressive advanced to almost 10floors, each year releasing a new floor, so u will get to see some good stuff, trust me. |

And I already knew all the rest of what you said... "each year releasing a new floor" Lmao, that's straight up wrong, I spent like 3 years waiting for volume 5 & 6. |

What did you expect from this movie if you've already read the 1st half of vol 1, u should know you are reading the first 2eps of s1, then why did u expect something else? That's weird. For an anime watcher, they added Asuna's backstory & Mito, worth of 30mins extra content which isn't bad. And he released both the volumes faster then the normal time 💀, it's still same about what I said. |

They skipped content, if you don't know what I'm talking about, maybe go re-read it. This movie approach is actually horrible for Progressive, they literally dug their own cave, why is that? Well, now they can't adapt the next floor and need to skip it for the movies to actually make sense, in a TV series this wouldn't be a problem. What is gonna be the next movie after "Kuraki Yuuyami no Scherzo"? Are they also gonna skip volumes 5 and 6 for the same reasons they skipped the second half of the first one, the 2, and the 3? This is just so dumb... |

Lol i agree with that, a TV series would've been good choice and also could've been popular, and ofc they have to skip the remaining volumes or it won't make any sense, characters like Nezha,Lind,Kizmel etc etc aren't introduced yet......but this movie was alright, it was a letdown for me too but I can give this a solid 8/10. Compared to Ordinal Scale, the story of this movie didn't feel good enough, the animation & Music upgraded but i still prefer Ordinal Scale as a movie, it was almost perfect for SAO. My Mal score doesn't count, it's just pure enjoyment. |
