 Further details on the previously announced original Sword Art Online movie were revealed at Sunday's Dengeki Bunko Spring Festival 2016. Titled Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale, it will open in theaters in Japan in 2017.Aniplex will begin selling tickets for the movie at AnimeJapan 2016 at the end of March. Each ticket costs ¥1,500 and comes with a bonus B2 poster of the movie's key visual (pictured). Author Reki Kawahara and the movie's producers are also scheduled to attend Sakura-Con in Seattle on March 26 to provide more information. Tomohiko Itou returns to direct the movie at animation studio A-1 Pictures. Animator Shingo Adachi is once again adapting the original character designs by abec, while Yuki Kajiura is composing the music. An official website has opened with more information on the setting of the new work. Story AR (Augmented Reality) Type Information Terminal "Augma" is a next-generation, wearable multi-device that looks like a pair of small headphones. In terms of size and portability, it is far superior to the existing VR machine Amusphere. Augma doesn't have a full-dive function; however, its AR function is greatly enhanced to compensate for it. It can transmit visual, audio, and tactual sensation data to players while they are awake, thus enabling the users to enjoy fitness and health management like a game. Ordinal Scale is an ARMMORPG that was designed exclusively for Augma. Following its release, it has become the most discussed game due to its advanced technology. In this game, players can raise their rank by collecting items that appear in various places in the real world and by defeating monsters. This "Ranking System" is the main feature of the game, and in this system, each player's status is determined by their rank which is indicated by an ordinal number instead of a cardinal number. As the result, high ranking players are given overwhelming power, and often rank has become a major factor in deciding the outcome of a PvP battle.

| 2017? Nobody thought that it was a really bit to early to be announcing this? |
 |
| Oh this looks wonderful :"D |
| eh..............meh. Just kind of hoping the Accel World trailer gets uploaded at some point because it's about the only one of these light novel movies I give even a remote damn about at this point, Antearion said: 2017? Nobody thought that it was a really bit to early to be announcing this? It's clear it hasn't been started yet. It's all part of A-1's usual drown people in hype and propaganda strategy that is annoying as all fuck. Most producers don't feel they need a constant barrage of basically nothing to constantly remind people something exists and draw attention toward it. Mod Edit: Removed baiting and quote of deleted post. |

| Is this the sao movie that has season 3 material or something like that? Is it something I have to watch? It also seem like sao 3 will air sometimes in 2017. |
| Not much animated footage shown in the video. Besides the key visual, the character designs looks so-so to me. |

| 2017 looks very far away for now. That means a third season sure is further away. |

| Why don't they just do season 3 instead? I'm pretty sure they have enough content. |
garydai said: Why don't they just do season 3 instead? I'm pretty sure they have enough content. The current arc is very long and still not finished, maybe they are waiting for it to finish in the LNs. It's longer than the content for 1st and 2nd season combined. |

| Lol poor SAO fans. They might as well not have announced it, i wouldnt give a shit no matter how hyped i would be 4 it. Bcuz fking 2017 <.< |
| This will probably be average, but I reckon I'll watch it, eventually. |

Robiiii said: Lol poor SAO fans. They might as well not have announced it, i wouldnt give a shit no matter how hyped i would be 4 it. Bcuz fking 2017 <.< They get a new game this year so I wouldn't feel too bad for anyone. I mostly just consider it a miracle that any sort of anime thing is happening with Accel World considering it's one of the few light novel series I ever gave any sort of damn about and which I can count on a single hand. Also what can you expect from a studio consistently backed up on a bloated as fuck schedule of mostly crap for the last several years. Maybe if virtually every other adaptation didn't have to be done by A-1 Pictures now and Aniplex wasn't trying to run so many damn projects at the same time constantly and just drown people in it all you wouldn't have so many things backed up by years like say that Fate/Stay Night movie, but greed>proper scheduling/planning. A-1 is supposed to be doing a Granblue Fantasy promo anime which they announced but then admitted they currently have no plans to even put into production yet just an example of how fucked up things are. |
| The new system sounds pretty awesome. Kirito will be the top player anyway. |
 |
| 1 year of waiting i hope it would be worth and there's no way it can be worse than 2nd season. |
 |
| Awesome how they went to VR -> to AR!!!! It sounds like the upcoming game Pokemon Go on smartphones! HYPE! |

| Well cant wait for it sadly its gonna be at 2017 :( Hope they announce the 3rd season right after the movie then its all good *.* |
 |
| Not bad at all....This actually sounds pretty good and fun |
| while i dont like sao, clearly from my ratings, i will watch this and will watch a season 3 or 4 or 5 if they come out. haters, fans, ect. it doesnt matter its just anime at the end of the day |
| I was expecting it to be far away so whatever. I'm expecting a season 3 after this movie. |
 |
2017? FOR THE MOVIE? NOT SEASON 3?! FUCK THIS! I'M LEAVING |

| surprised that the thread pretty chill. anyways, don't expect much since original and only a movie. but still, at least A-1 and movie usually good to eyes at least. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| OH gosh.. At least one more year to wait, well that's sad. |
| Looking forward to it. There will probably be a lot of cool animated scenes, and I'm more likely to watch this than a third season because of length. |

| So wtf they are making a movie for the next arc & not a show? Wow, that's kinda a letdown. Or maybe they are waiting for it to light novel to finish & then they will making a season 3 who knows. |

| Interesting new system, it actually sounds very cool! Maybe even something we could create someday in real life, now that we have stuff like Pokemon Go coming out. Excited for the movie, bummed it's so far away. |
| So A-1 are going handle two movies in 2017? Interesting. |
lord23 said: Kaioshin_Sama said: I really hope for the Accel world Movie has a season 2 teaser since Dangeki is doing Movie for their series nowadays eh..............meh. Just kind of hoping the Accel World trailer gets uploaded at some point because it's about the only one of these light novel movies I give even a remote damn about at this point, ( I'm crossing my fingers that Accel world Movie dose well) I severely doubt it if for no other reason than Sunrise just doesn't seem to want to do much on TV nowadays. |
| So basically season 3 will happen around 2018? Anyway, the plot of the film sounds utterly generic, but who knows? |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I like the new character designs for this movie. It's something different :) |

Oniisama God power in movie quality will be eyegasmic. |

| Finally, the trailer has been announced... and I'm totally hyped about this one, but what I'm really hoping is that some of the characters not being built again with another same plot lines. And... for that 2017 though (lol), well let's just wait for it, for SAO! :) My reaction went just like this: |

Wondercabage said: so what happened to SAO season 3? did they decide to make this movie instead? im a little sad now... The S3 will most likely be announced at the end of the movie, just like with Extra Edition. The movie is an anime original bonus story that kind of ties into how Accel World novels are connected to SAO, it seems |
 |
| I want to get off Mr. Kawahara's wild ride. |
| Welp, I guess that means I'm heading to Japan in 2017 then.. Since this is the missing link between Rosario and Alicization, Season 3 better be announced. Though with the amount of content that they have to cover for Alicization, they might as well announce Season 3 AND 4 together..... and maybe a Season 5 too :P |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| If this is coming out in 2017 then i wonder how long we're gonna have to wait for season 3. |
| Will watch...Not expecting much from it though. |
