| It was obvious after season 1 of SAO has been finished, I knew 2nd season would be releasing as SAO fans were flaming for it. I'm not actually excited about it at all since it was your average anime with overhyped comments. Bring out Season2 Attack on titan then I will be interested |

| Guess what I'm not going to watch? This horrible anime Renaultclio101 said: lol basically the same thing hereBring out Season2 Attack on titan then I will be interested |
 |
| Will definitely watch this :D |
 |
| still waiting for Btooom! sequel and shingeki no kyojin sequel.. |
 |
| Attack On Titan needs it's manga to get further ahead, I thought this was obvious? |
| I'm looking forward to it, mainly because of the influence my friends enthusiasm had on me, I didn't hate Season 1 nor did I properly liked it. There were a lot of on/off moments. Not sure If someone said it already, too many posts, I cba reading them all but, using guns when the theme was 'Sword Art', i just find that contradictorily funny |
Shangetsu said: Immahnoob said: Shangetsu said: Immahnoob said: Please, define a good adaptation objectively. Something that stay true and/or is the closest to the author's work. If the author describe a scenery, you follow it by the book. If the author write a line, you make that character say it. If the character thinks about something, you show it. You take no liberty and follow the book in a logical and methodical way. If it comes out that the source material is lacking (ie : no description of a scene's environment), what is lacking should be deduced logically without contradicting or denaturating the work at all. Good animation, soundtrack, basically anything aesthetics is simply a plus. Easier said than done? Yes I agree. It could make quite an horrible show? Yes I also agree. Still it doesn't change that this is what I believe is an objectively good adaptation. A good adaptation doesn't make a good anime, a good interpretation of the source material by a third party does. ^big wall of IMO. This is not objective. Why so? The moment you take the liberty of removing even the sligthest of elements or add something it all comes down to your interpretation of the source material and therefore become a subjective adaptation. The only way to make an objective adaptation is to not fall in subjectivity and follow the source material word by word. If you don't agree at least have the courtesy of explaining your point of view. As the source material can be pretty much subjective to each one of us, we interpret it differently. That's like, the first thing that pretty much says that it's subjective, that the adaptation does or not follow the source material "word by word". Also, words are not like images, making images out of those words is also subjective in itself, lets not forget that descriptions in themselves are not complete because they don't need to be, it relies on our imagination. So yeah, I've read the LN, I don't see what's missing, if you can, that's you and a few others, or maybe the majority, but who cares, nothing is missing for me, I see the last adaptation as a perfect one, of course, in my views of "perfect", as it does not truly exist. |

| Absolutely cannot wait for this new season! But will this directly follow from season 1? And I heard that Asuna will not be a main character in this, is this true? |

Asuna will still be a main character, although the story is more focus on Sinon and Kirito, take a look at the characters list, it says that Asuna is a main character of "Phantom Bullet", it won't bother you that much to check it out right ;) |

Asuna will have a very little role to play in the next arc, you'll see her 5% of the time at best. In this arc she's more of a secondary character than a main character. If they adapt Mother's Rosario in the second half then she'll return under the spotlight as a main character. |

| I want it to get weird. Just like really over the top fan service that makes everyone uncomfortable. I just can't forget about that tentacle scene in the first season, and then how the main feature of the trailer was that girl's butt. I don't know, I just feel like it has to happen. |
| So basically Kirito is stupid enough to put on the nerve gear again and get stuck in a game again? Yea nice. |
| While I was watching the first season of SAO, my dreams shattered after 15-16th episodes, because it felt like I'm watching another anime when he went back to find Asuna. It's going to be based on guns this time, maybe? I just hope that the SAO II won't disappoint me as much as the first one. |
| This season will be a lot better then last season. No time skips and incest e.e I'm still unsure about the next arc after that though D: |
 |
| Hello all, it's my very first post here!! So yeah, I'm quite into SAO and I would love to test out full-dive VR if one happens to be released in real life. Arigato for this little piece of information on next SAO season :) |
| Finally. Been waiting forever for this and I don't understand why people keep on saying it had so much wasted potential. For a 25-26 episode anime I think it did great, yeah its not the masterpiece it could have been, but it didn't waste its potential. After the long break production took to work on other animes I think SAO II will be better than SAO I (Having to call it that now is going to be annoying). Although I would have preferred if the Gun Gale arc was an OVA. |

| this might be interesting to see, imo i didn't like sao because I didn't get it (i could go on all day but i'll spare the details), nevertheless I expect only an improvement on the first season, as it had promise but failed. I'm guessing they might get this one just right. |
| I´m not very excited, but I'll watch for sure. The 1st season was enjoyable. |

| Well I guess this is unsurprising given SAO financial success. Regardless I can't but help but feel like this is a dark stain on an otherwise promising year with stuff like Mushishi s2 and Jojo part.3. |

| I realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hope this season will be good!! The girl in the trailer looks pretty cool. |
| Looking forward to this. I've read the LN's and reckon there was a good jump in writing quality from SAO/ALO arcs to GGO, just hope the anime can match it. |

Although I would have preferred if the Gun Gale arc was an OVA. >it didn't waste its potential Oh yes it did. For a work that involves being trapped in a video game, I would've liked to see the consequences of using video games as escapism ("The truth, Kirito, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: A hero.") and being a white knight in a world where anyone can backstab you. Some compelling themes. Kayaba is a flat villain who forgets the entire reason why he even made SAO, The MMO could've been a social experiment dealing with seeing how humans react when trapped in an unknown setting and to show that humans are no better than beasts when left to their own devices; "I didn't kill any of you, you all chose to kill each other. You cast the blame on me because you couldn't accept what you've become: A monster.") Now, what it did it did horribly. There's a lack of internal consistency. You might not know but programs are rigid structures with clearly defined operations. When your health hits 0, you're designated as dead. Why should Kirito be any different? He's only human (at least, he should be, but he's as OP as it gets). That's only some of the stuff. I didn't even get to characterization, but the list of grievances goes on. |
Imateria said: Looking forward to this. I've read the LN's and reckon there was a good jump in writing quality from SAO/ALO arcs to GGO, just hope the anime can match it. Can definitely see the hype of s2 becus of this. But honestly, the most fan base is so skewed, and for the wrong reasons as well. Hype is so lethal. |

| ~.~ Idk about this. I love SAO and it even made it into my top 5 but i dont see how i can enjoy this when there is no tension from being able to die in game. |
| Sweet! More SAO! This reminds me I have to complete season 1. :O |
 |
Exceed3RD said: ~.~ Idk about this. I love SAO and it even made it into my top 5 but i dont see how i can enjoy this when there is no tension from being able to die in game. No tension from being able to die in the game? Is there not? Are you really sure? SURE? Heh. |
Exceed3RD said: ~.~ Idk about this. I love SAO and it even made it into my top 5 but i dont see how i can enjoy this when there is no tension from being able to die in game. Should at least have an idea of what transpires in Phantom Bullet ._. |

| I have to admit,I mostly enjoyed SAO. It was refreshing that the main character for once got the girl so soon ,but I had my doubts when I saw how happy Kirito and Asuna were when it was only half season,I was afraid something terrible was going to happen, and I was right. When I first saw Sugou at the hospital,I kept thinking: omfg he's so creepy! He ruined SAO for me, after SAO:s last episode, Oberon had become so disgusting that I doubt if I can ever again watch SAO after the episode when Sugou makes he's appearance. Maybe I'm exaggerating,but I just hate creepy perverts... |

| Great, I look forward to it. |
| Hell yeah, best girl is going to appear. Plz don't ruin this arc. It's my fav :x |
