| After the first arc ended, I thought we had 2 of the most boring arcs in the SAO series so far, which was Alfheim Online and GGO. Mother's Rosario was okay due to the feels and the fantasy theme coming back but still it was missing something that made the first arc so fun to watch and see the characters grow. It took me a while to actually watch this movie because I have completely lost interest in SAO since newer anime have came out. SAO was one of the first anime for me that got me hooked into this never ending world, so it's fair to say my tastes has somewhat improved at least a little since then. I know there are a lot of weird points about the movie, like how the authorities downplay the accidents happening with OS and seem like there's nothing wrong, but above all from this movie you can get a satisfactory feel as you gear towards the end of the movie. I personally thought they did a lot more rights than wrongs in this movie... You get to see some of your favourite characters again and you were able to see that the SAO incident still affects a lot of people even years after. You were able to watch bosses that wasn't in the first arc come to live in an amazing fashion, with a very well done animation. You get to see the gamers come together to defeat a common enemy, don't you see how satisfying that is when you see that in real life? You didn't have to wait weeks for an episode to come out. You actually somewhat feel for a character that was just introduced, and the added quote on the revisioned book was a nice touch Do you see anything in common? Yes, they all come back to what made this anime huge, the first arc! It wasn't just some thought up crap like GGO and Alfheim to extend the anime, but this was more of an epilogue to the 2 years that has happened in SAO and everything afterwards, I don't know about you, but I would gladly say that it was a very satisfying epilogue indeed. |

The movie had a great soundtrack. Remember the bit when Silica Sings? Lol that was a funny moment but I was more impressed with how Asuna looked (surprise) and the animation in general. I don't read the LNs but upon seeing a 'hater' saying they liked the Alicization arc due to the dope storyline, I guess I am pretty hyped for it as well. Just hoping they get it completely right and stick with the awesome animations like the movie. |
| Really? I thought this was the 2nd worst addition to the franchise Next to Fairy Dance Arc. The fact the Eugeo was fucking useless despite him being a main character and all. By the way I don't hate SAO. It's plot was really shallow but the actions scenes were pretty good :> |
| Enjoyed how in the end Kirito-sama saves the day like how he should. I've like SAO from the start, so yeah... Anyway I forgot the name of the dude that was a little bit too OP because Kirito-sama didn't took him seriously :/ Anyway, I'm happy that SAO S3 will be released too... Dunno how it will go though |

Never really understood that dude's motivations for making Aincrad or why he suddenly showed up to save Kirito in the 2nd arc, but it was a fun show anyways. More importantly, they had better bring back this song, best part of the whole series |

Fairy Dance, GGO and Mother's Rosario felt like OVAS that could be skipped, not saying that they were terrible, mind you. After they got out of the game, they could've skipped to a few months later and continue to this movie, that's probably why I liked it, because it was an epilogue to the first arc. I agree though, beautiful animations and all, the plot and villains could've been much better. |
| Yes SAO is a very good anime and this movie is also top tier. |

Dunno how it will go though Honestly it's what makes Kirito, Kirito... right? We go in the movie expecting some kind of Gary Stu action from him that can send chills down our spine. Asuna was mentioned to be more mellow by Eiji and that's trueeee. I miss when she was kind of a tsundere and more of a badass during SAO times, I guess we had a glimpse of that this movie. As for S3, after reading a review from someone who hates the first 2 seasons, I'm actually expecting a lot. The dude said Kawahara stepped up his plot game for S3 arc, and so if paired with the beauty animations of this movie, it should be a blast to watch. |
What bath scene? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| This actually lowered my opinion of SAO fans. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I thought season 1 is a good show. Season 2 was a bit boring though, maybe just because of the whole guns setting though. This movie was not bad, albeit had some plot holes or rather a lot of them. But overall it was a nice watch. And so were Asuna's nipples |
| I'm not sure why, but I actually enjoyed it. 2011: "Oh, I like the 1st book. Maybe that's because I wasted a lot of time playing MMO games." 2012: "What the hell is this?" 2014: "A1, please stop." 2017: "The fact that I know most of the characters for 6 years makes me feel somewhat cozy and nostalgic." |
hahaha i was kidding MortalMelancholy said: This actually lowered my opinion of SAO fans. sure |

| Tbh the best thing about this movie is the hope Something Witty Entertainment could, someday, make a huge abridged out of it. It's not like it was horribly bad, but not once was it explained why nor does the reason why make even the slightest sense Moreover, as a person who used convnets for about a year, using the buzzword Deep Learning just to handwave crap away triggered me to no end. |

Hell no. people have to dig in the fk code to clear things up. So i dont really care about plot holes.

Hell no. people have to dig in the fk code to clear things up. So i dont really care about plot holes. YMMV. It was fun _for you_. Plot holes over a certain size break my suspension of disbelief. And it seems to me that you're conflating plot obfuscation and plot holes. Dark Souls has... I definitely wouldn't say one of the greatest, but definitely some very good backstory, it's just extremely obfuscated. Here there is no obfuscation, just handwaving stuff away "just because". |

But it didnt bother me that much and imo a lot of movies (and really good ones) have some big plot holes too and i dont really care.Gu1do said: Who cares, it was fun to watch.

| I guess I do like sao again lol. I don’t know if I stopped liking it but I’ve forgotten about sao |
I believe most people missed it but it didnt escape my eyes, even if it is a movie, not screening on TV, that had some balls by showing that side glance on Asuna's tits, I mean it is not like there was steam covering it, they really did show them good. Nice fanservice there, but felt a bit out of place. |
