I liked SAO, but live action? If Animu becomes mainstream in America, were all screwed!!! O_O

Let's all sit down and eat popcorn as we watch this movie prove that SAO indeed can get worse than it already is

they can't even make a good live-action of a decent anime, so what makes them think that doing one on a shit anime is a good idea??

I'm probably going to watch it to see how bad it is. If its anything like other live action animes, it will be pretty funny, but considering it's American made, it will be f*king hilarious.

Who came up with this idea?
Well, Live-Action series are mostly bad, so it would be funny to see if SAO can get EVEN WORSE!!!

Hmmm, I'd really like to see it, but I don't think it would really work out well.

I really enjoy SAO, but just like every live action I don't have high hopes for this live action. Seriously though, wow, we're nearly 3/4 the way through 2016 and these sad little kids and trolls are still upset over how fast SAO went mainstream and how successful it is... smh...

Well I guess I should probably elaborate on why I don't have high hopes for this now. I feel like with the story of SAO and how you have the elaborate virtual world that they would have a hard time accurately duplicating that. Of course the question would then be which arc would they take from? Would they do season 1 or season 2??? Then if so how would they go about duplicating the virtual world? How would they do the detailing on the monsters? So so so many questions. Of course we all wonder what the cast would be like while we're at it too right?

I actually think this might not be that bad. I mean, sao has potential and adaptions have a tendency to differ from the source material... if they only adapted the 'sword art online' part (so not the part with the fairies, stupid conflict, incest and tentacle rape), and gave everything some time to actually develop (like show kirito doing stuff to level up instead of being 40 levels higher after one episode), it might be really interesting! Of course they should pay attention to the source material, but that's not to say they can't try to fix its mistakes right?


If only anime fans weren't so insistent on adaptations being 100% faithful to their sources, nothing more and nothing less...

Adapting anime to live action considering the current public's demands is most times a lose-lose situation. They can either try to perfectly copy the original and fail miserably (because the same thing probably won't work for such different medias), or they can try to properly adapt and change things as they think is needed which will make fans complain that it ruined the original and so on. It's going to take some time before both the industry and the audience learn to produce/watch live action adaptations of anime.

@blue-y I looked it up, the "Avatar" they're referring to is the movie about the blue people.

This will definitely be a train wreck.


Yeah I erased that comment after I googled and saw that it was James Cameron's "Avatar" not the live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon's "Avatar: airbender" lol

What more do they want us to see that happens within this "story"? Like seriously. What? It doesn't even have a sensible story line.. Whose asking for this?


it has perfectly sensible storyline and setting that is relevant to current tech industry and does not depend on japanese aesthetics or setting.

it's not even that impressive (or popular) anymore.

Lack of fresh ideas in Hollywood so they've been scanning different forms of media/IPs for ideas. That's probably why we've been getting so many upcoming live action anime stuff.

Friendly reminder that Hollywood refers to a movie industry. Not overall entertainment industry. I am always shocked how out of touch people are.


It's just easier to type in Hollywood. Plus most people will still get what I'm saying.

Considering Hollywood appalling track record for adaptions of foreign movies, this will be horrible and flip like a flip flop.
Everything those huge 'Muricans touches instantaneously becomes rotten and violent, just look at all those countries they been in, all the movies they adapted, they all just sucks terribly now.

They Americanise everything like the little racists they are, the only reason they adapt things is to Americanise it to begin with.
Kazuto is probably going to be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Asuna will be played by non other than Nicki Minaj.

There will of course be steamy sex scene with CGI Armold and Nicki Minaj to even make people interested.
Michael Bay will probably be co-director so they get insane amount of explosions going on from A to B non stop.

The entire thing will probably take place in the Star Wars universe too, cause you got to milk that one hard and long.

As a huge SAO-fan, I was very in joy to hear these news. I'm already imagining myself all the characters.

Awesome, I just can't wait for the TV Series and the VR Experience shit...
But I think it would probably not work.
Since the company is only a One-Man Stand, they would not have the funds to build one !

I am probably sure this won't work....

I made a blog post of why i think this would not work out.

On the one hand, its adapting from the light novel, so it might flesh out the narrative and the characters better than the anime did.

On the other hand, it's an American live-action adaption of something.

Both a literal and metaphorical double-edged sword involved in this one.

I'll accept this new show only if we can get Something Witty Entertainment to abridge it
