I was shocked by how disappointed the fans were after watching the previous progressive movie, as I understood, it was supposed to be a floor by floor progression through the game with naturally should bring about a better plot expansion and character disposition, but it somehow failed to deliver the bare minimum of the hype people were anticipating. I wish this one realizes those mistakes and improves upon them.

Were we seeing the same thing? From what I've seen, fans loved it and the movie totally destroyed the weekend box office.

Believe me it will be fine, it's confirmed by REKI himself. Don't overthink and spread rumours.
Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO.

You mean haters? Cuz I am pretty sure you got their actual reactions wrong.
Haters will just keep hating something no matter how good it actually is.
I am a useless student of society.
Tests are my body and Grades are my blood.
I have done over a thousand assignments.
Unseen by teachers,
nor done properly.
Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade.

Well, they won’t stop at anything to spread misinformation about the series. So sad that they are so desperate to dip the series down in the water, despite doing so makes them looks ignorant

Bro, if you dislike it say it once and leave. Don’t keep appearing here and there repeating the same negative tone again and again. Don’t be such a party pooper, let the fans discuss. You saying the franchise is beating a dead horse while you keep on repeating one word everytime a new thread comes up, at least it is recently.

It amkes you look like those children who keeps asking for their parents’ praise and keep doing one thing again and again.

I'm not here to slander the show, I enjoyed my time with sao, all of it (except for some questionable direction in the final alicization season), I came across ppl IRL, forums, podcasts... etc, that really seemed to hate the movie, I myself haven't watched it yet, I plan to very soon, but that got me worried on how the whole thing went.

You probably came across some questionable sources of information bro. If you have followed SAO a long way you know that the franchise is not those you can trust others’ opinion entirely. Trolls are everywhere. Just watch it and judge it for yourself, don’t let people decieve you man.

I guess we are not speaking about the progressive movie because movie itself hasn't been released in anywhere beside Japan and those who have watched it being in Japan or Japanese have only said the positive things about Movie. Also movie is consistently topping box office for 3 days in row since it's released.
Thkugh, there are some gentlemen who claimed themselves to watch Movie despite not being in Japan and review bombing it specifying the things that is literally unrelated to Movie.

I just find it disgusting, like a song. oh my, my feelings for this post from disgust are turning to disgust but like a song..
it's sad that the world is developing more and more but people are becoming more and more corrupt. To those outside of Japan, believe that this movie is great, not only the visuals but also the story. It's something that I believe is a lot better than both the LN and the anime ss1.

It has not been released outside Japan yet. Some people (haters) don't like the fact that the SAO is one of the most popular anime, so they give low rating without even watching. It has been decade now and because of its huge fan base its still going strong.

I don't know about you but I haven't talked to someone yet (who has actually seen the movie) who's disappointed by the movie adaptation. Even with the changes and the new character, all of them are very happy with the adaptation.

What people ARE disappointed by however, is the news about skipping floors and going straight to floor 5 in the next movie.

Since the reason for this seems to be that the Elf War arc isn't completed yet, some rumours are saying they will adapt that as like a mini series maybe? It's just a rumour still, but really hope that's the case.

Elf war is so long, it might as well need a 50 episodes if they adapted in an anime form.

well yeah.....i dont really mind even if it had 50 or more episodes or a long movie series tbh, as long as A-1 do justice for the novel. This is A-1...they messed up the first 2 seasons so not really keeping any hope. I personally liked the way Alicization was adapted (except for the WoU part 2), so im keeping some hope.

Yeah, it would be welcoming if they gave that genuine adaptation and they do give plenty of episode for SAO since it is the biggest money maker for A-1 pictures. Also to let you know, A-1 messed up with the Alicization. They cut off lot of Asuna badass scene, Kirisuna wholesome moments including kiss, their cuddling which left many fans so riled and infuriated on the Time of broadcasting.

yeah, i started reading the novels after watching the Movie, so the Alicization arc was original stuff to me at the time. Was pretty upset that they didnt adapt those moments, but was happy that they at least adapted the arc in a much better way than the first 2 seasons. (imo opinion at least)

I don't remember anyone hating on Progressive actually, if you mean the general SAO haters that hate on anything SAO related, that's just them. However, I think people in general loved the movie. I had the liberty of watching it with some friends yesterday and they very much enjoyed it, and are looking forward to the next movie coming out.

(Not a Progressive novel reader btw)

The first movie was infinitely better than the main anime in its entirety, the main anime had so many frustrating writing moments for me with inconsistencies and lack of any sort of quality and pacing but the movie felt a lot more easier to get into and I never wanna see Kirito be the real MC in this series. Asuna ain't that good in the main anime at all but she's much better in the Progressive movie I saw, especially as the lead. I have no idea what I'm getting into with the 2nd film but I hope it continues to rectifies the mistakes and have an actual coherent adventure and story compared to the how SAO felt with many episodes feeling like side stories and not really tackling any growth and progress of Kirito's abilities at all while having an inconsistent attitude then.

There's way more potential with this arc at least compared to every other main SAO arc, I just hope the 2nd movie doesn't fall into the traps of your usual main SAO arcs and turn into mediocrity or even just pure awful fiction. I hope the 2nd movie can deliver somewhat.

I love the series, I enjoyed the light novels, I watched the first Progressive movie, I thought it sucked, I will still watch the second Progressive movie. I still look forward to having the light novels brought to life through animation. The light novels will always tell the story better but the adaptations allow me to enjoy Reki's world more.

Just watched the First movie 10 minutes ago, i loved it and can't wait till this sequel. If you are disappointed that it showed a lot of the scenes from the TV Series... you are shooting yourself in the foot. Of cause it would, asuna was with Kirito for a portion of the Series at the start. and what they showed of Asuna by herself was really good. To point out, the first season before Fairy Dance was one of the best from the series (the others being Alicization, GGO and GGO Alternative). most of the "Fans" you have seen aren't considered fans, more like blind haters.

Let down you say.

The movie's overall goal was twofold. First to establish Asuna's life before she entered SAO and met Kirito and second showcase how she and Kirito and their allies cleared the first floor boss. A goal that i thought it fulfilled flawlessly.

As to whether im excited for this movie im quite optimistic about it especially if they weave new characters and events into it as well.

Haven't watched the movie yet, but this is the first time that I've ever seen an SAO entry be this close to an 8 on MAL. I know that it was one the highest rated shows back in its hay day, but as far as I've seen, this has been the highest. Sooo, I reckon that people quite liked it.

It was so much fun? I saw it in 4DX with my classmates. I was one of the few who were familiar with the series and the people who were seeing SAO for the first time LOVED it. The fact that they all play Genshin Impact may have helped them find common ground with it but honestly, it is a fun watch. I am so gonna go for Part 2 with the same people.

Really? I thought the first movie was great but they did Agil kinda dirty by taking away his spotlight during the boss battle and it could have benefited from a TV anime to spend more time on each event.

The bar was so low for me that even though it did the bare minimum, I am mostly satisfied.

Idk, i loved the first half of sao s1 (but not everything that came later) way more than this, i think going with an alternative universe (and let's face it, rewriting half the events makes it just that) was a bad move, they should have thought of another way to show it from Asuna's perspective than introducing a whole new character that wasn't even there before. The visuals, animation and choreography didn't seem all that impressive either, they clearly had some effort put in them, but it was either badly directed or the editor failed a bit because certain frames that would deserve at least double to triple the time got passed over so fast you didn't even have time to get a proper look and it also made them seem kinda shaky, wiggly and jerky. Plus wasn't the whole idea of it to take the time with each floor? Why go with a movie format then and not a few anime seasons?

because the floor are all self contained. And movies is the ideal way to adapt per floor. And with the LN updates is yearly so movies is better. Because if its a seasonal anime the source is gonna catch up

Now that's a loaded question. I think you start with the assumption that a majority of people were disappointed, perhaps just because you were disappointed or you just see the vocal dissatisfied minority, they are always there.

Personally I liked it quite a bit, I went in expecting to see the same thing I saw in the original anime a little bit more fleshed out, but it was something else entirely due to Asuna's point of view and Kirito's better fleshed out personality.
You can really see how the author grew over the years, Kirito has the same level of depth as in the Alicization arc.
