Sword Art Online Progressive (light novel)
| Aren't they just gonna show us pretty much s1 with small changes? it says they will show everything from the beginning so the s1 wasnt from the beginning? Im confused |
 |
| It's basically a detailed retelling of Aincrad Arc with much more of Kirito Asuna's moments. It won't be rushed like the original one looks ke time skip and all rather it'll show boss battles. It also fixes most of the issues from the Original SAO. In least words, Upgraded First cour of SAO |
 |
| The original anime had a lot of romance and timeskips in it. This is probably going to be more detailed and more in-line with the manga or something. I'd imagine it's going to be like FMA: Brotherhood, basically, which sounds promising. I enjoyed the video games as well, which explored what it would be like if they didn't beat the creator so early and had to finish all 100 floors proper. This could be a similar version to that as well if it's not just a lazy reboot. |

It also gives an explanation as to how/why Kirito god so ungodly powerful and much more plot points to improve on the story somewhat as this is a reboot made by Reki Kawahara years after the original after he got much better at storytelling. thats nice idk this show kinda showed us what we needed to see so unless you really want the details on their relationship and kiritos strength its not really worth watching. I might watch it unless they make this 99% old scenes 1% new scenes then its just a waste of time for me at least |

| Is this a re-write from the author, or is this just a more detailed adaption of what he wrote the first time? Or, just adding original content to flesh it out? |

A majority of these action-focused anime give little to character development or the development between characters. There are many mindless fighting anime out there, SAO is at least creative enough to not only have fighting but focus on the romance between characters of the opposite sex that isn't full of awkwardness or nothingness. Without that, it is literally a cookie cutter MMORPG/reincarnation/from another world anime - one in a massive list of them. Unique is better than typical in a market oversaturated with garbage Isekai/isekai-esque anime. |

The author is rewriting the whole arc in this huge project which will cover floor by floor the adventure in Aincrad. There are a lot of new things, it’s as if it’s a completely new story. |

It will takes a lot to the end this story, the anime adaptation will adapt a part of the story and then we’ll have other series in future when more material came out, probably. |

| So wait... this is gonna be like when they didnt beat the creator of the game and cleared all 100 levels? Or its just some kind of recap with few more scenes? Because I would like to see all 100 levels lol |

Because I would like to see all 100 levels lol This is going to be a huge series. It will explore every single floor in detail. So you should expect more seasons. This single season won't show everything. Lol wape said: It'll be the same trash bro. You're certainly more frequent in these threads than the fans. If you don't like it pls just ignore it. Don't ruin the atmosphere. |

purpleninja0006 said: What floor have the progressive novels got to? Six volumes for 6 floor (floor six takes 2 volumes) |
| Not exactly sure where I stand on this. On the one hand, while I still find the original enjoyable, it was definitely in need of more fleshing out. On the other hand, going through each level in detail seems a little unnecessary to me in regards to the grand scope of the narrative. Also not entirely sure how I feel about Kirito and Asuna teaming up from the get-go since it fundamentally changes their independent character arcs as well as the nature of their relationship. It might completely blow me away for all I know. But currently I'm a bit conflicted. :/ |

Off-topic, but it's cool to see more people who played HF, floor 100 was pain. It's a very clunky oldschool type game that was originally a handheld game, so a lot of people didn't play it and a lot that did, didn't necessarily like it, sadly, but I came from 7 years of playing FFXI and the combat felt very similar. I loved the grinding and the progression of the relationships as well. Letting you choose best girl and romance her was nice, and I typically hate dating sim type games, which this wasn't, but it had an element of that to it and it wasn't bad. It filled in a lot of the character development that was missing from the anime even if it wasn't canon. Hopefully this anime does what the game did, maybe even better.

I think she is a nice girl and all, but is very bland and flat as a character. That being said, she was a great match for Kirito in the end. Kirito is the MC so he is obviously a badass, but overall he's pretty bland as well. The entire reason he fell in love with her is because they are very similar solo players that complimented each other when they teamed up and ended up saving each other's lives countless times. While Liz and Silica were more fleshed out characters, they weren't fighters or gamers like Kirito. They were very weak in combat comparatively and were more interested in running shops and feeding their pet than fighting. It makes sense why he didn't see them as potential partners, which also makes the Harem aspect fell very flat, imo. The new anime will hopefully show them back-to-back more and actually bonding in fights, which is where their strength as a couple lies. At the end of the day though, I've sadly watched all the SAO animes, even the bad ones, so I will watch this one too even if it sucks. It's mindless fun and that is all I really expect from the series. |
Bastiono said: can you give me examples? And SAO is not an isekai for startersI have a meager interest in this, mostly hoping they flesh out the characters (including Silica and Liz) in this version, those two were better in the manga and the first adaptation didn't touch that. Personally, both Kirito and Asuna were flat so I never cared for them I can easily name three isekai that did the premise better, and I'm doubtful this rendition will change that |
|
Bastiono said: Isekai: another world, SAO happens in the game world It is not an isekai. The characters stay, live and breath in the real world. They are connected to a virtual world via neuronal sensitivity so that they could imagine being in the real world. However they are not, like I said they are still in the real world. Everything is happening inside their head and on a server built in the real world. |
Bastiono said: yeah overlord and log horizon is like SAO character development and all. But hack. I dont about that.chriskor022 said: can you give me examples? And SAO is not an isekai for starters Trapped in a game world: .hack and Log Horizon Character interactions: .hack, Log Horizon, Accel World and Overlord Does SAO happen in another world, yes, it's an isekai Overlord is isekai but LH and SAO is not because isekai is term generally reincarnate, and the MC of both shows are diving in the game. |

Bastiono said: yes isekai boom but SAO is not one. Like before SAO, high school setting and harem boom in 2010s. The example you give are they are transport to other world, so yes its isekai same as Inu Yasha. But SAO is a game and diving to the world. Your body remain and your mind is transported in the fanstasy world. SAO is not an isekai.chriskor022 said: yeah overlord and log horizon is like SAO character development and all. But hack. I dont about that. Overlord is isekai but LH and SAO is not because isekai is term generally reincarnate, and the MC of both shows are diving in the game. .. isekai means another world, SAO started the isekai boom. Did Digimon or MäR get reincarnated? Both are isekai and both returned to their normal lives by the end Log Horizon is literally trying to return to their normal lives, and both it and SAO exist in a game world, and they know it |

Bastiono said: i dont watch .hack but Accel world is not isekai too. AW is like futuristic game simulation. LH too is not isekai like SAO their bodies is in real world. And they pretty much log out. In LH case is they psyche is lock out in the game.chriskor022 said: yes isekai boom but SAO is not one. Like before SAO, high school setting and harem boom in 2010s.

Your body remain and your mind is transported in the fanstasy world. SAO is not an isekai. So by your definition .hack and Accel World aren't isekai? In .hack the entire story happened in *another world* just because it's just your mind doesn't change that there is another world, we (anime watchers) don't know what happened to Log Horizons' characters, they could still exist in the real world |

| Given how far technology has gotten and how the show's quality has significantly improved I definitely dig a remake of season 1. For me it was one of the more enjoyable seasons before Alicization. I don't think there will be much differences though compared to the original work. |
The road of finishing all anime... might take a couple of lives. |

It also gives an explanation as to how/why Kirito god so ungodly powerful and much more plot points to improve on the story somewhat as this is a reboot made by Reki Kawahara years after the original after he got much better at storytelling. @ItzYaBoiSatan It's not because he got better at story telling. There was nothing wrong with how the story was originally told. The thing is, Reki Kawahara wrote SAO to use the story in a contest and obviously there was a max number of pages the story had to have in order to be submitted (imagine if 200 people submitted a 2000 pages story for the judges to read...that would be a headache for the judges). The problem is that he was unable to make SAO short enough (even with SAO ending without going through all 100 floors) and he couldn't cut the story more without compromising the plot so he gave up on the contest. Latter he didn't felt like throwing his story away so instead he uploaded it on his blog and then it became a hit after a while. Progressive is basically him writing SAO without having to worry about the max number of pages. |
I despise woke people. |
Yugesai said: look nothing wrong to watch it. And dont be rude to the user here. Its toxic as it gets to more its not a discussion anymore.look even if it is a re-telling and even if it is going to be objectively good, the franchise was so shit up to this point that we don't even want to give this a chance. Why waste time if we can watch something better that has been collecting dust on our watchlists. Sword Art Online is very bad. God I miss Gate and Log Horizon.. |

NajzenDesu said: yes its not a reboot more expansion of the aincrad arc. Because on original LN is more on skipping content. This time its slower approach. If you are a fan of Aincrad of SAO, you gonna like this. But its not guarantee its gonna be good, if its adapting is butchered.The replies people give I feel are just making this even more confusing. It's literally just a story that currently covers floors 1 to 6 of Aincrad. Meaning everything except floor 1 is brand new content. This is NOT a remake and most definitely NOT a Brotherhood treatment, please stop calling it that. |
