Sword Art Online (light novel)
| .hack music? Interesting. Looks like they're going to include some of the Black Cats story. Actually, I think they might integrate some of Vol2 into it based on some sections. A bit iffy on art though. I swear I saw idolmaster expies walking around. Though it's to be expected due to studio. |
| Wow, looks really good! |
| Oh dam... Yuki Kajiura. Another reason to watch. |
| It looks awesome. Also, is Kirito the guy with the brown vest ? I hope it's not, I'd much rather see him in his regular black. :D Woah, really, Yuki Kajiura's doing the music? AWESOME. that just made it better. :D Also, I hope they do AlfHeim Online as well. Not as good as SAO, but still, ALO has a pretty good story imo. They could do 13 episodes for SAO and 13 eps for ALO. |

 |
| looks very good :) |
| looks surprisingly good |
| excited |
| I was worried about chara designs, but this trailer put me at ease :) But definetely the greatest asset for SAO anime will be goddess Kajiura behind the soundtrack. |
 |
| Will watch because of Kajiura. |
 |
| The character design looks rather generic which is disappointing but at least the background art looks pretty detailed. |
 |
| Its so awesome, it makes me chills! A world like MMO in an anime is very cool! Excited! |
 |
| Yuki Kajiura? Fuck yeah will try. |

| Awesome~Yuki Kajuira~~~ btw one thing i dont understand is that why the pv mostly in the time frame when kirito and asuna was still in novice/beginner and not following the flow of the light novel vol 1? |

Plus, Keita and Sachi ;_;.Sevannen said: It actually reminded me more of the Christmas arc, but that's possible.I think they're going for a chronological order seeing as the first boss is there. And I don't think they'll show any ALO at the moment. They'd better focus first on SAO since it is the title of the show. |

| 2 months to release, I guess summer release the manga is awesome, I do looking forward for it, I don't know how many raws there is but there is really short of english chapters. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| wow I just started reading the novels this week so seeing this is so awesome, damn so excited for summer season now |
| Hmm, so Volume 2 is going to be mixed into Volume 1 chronologically? That's alright, it's probably better than way as an animation. I hope. To be honest, in regards to Aincrad, the castle itself looked amazing but the scenery looked so ... plain, like no effort was put into it, totally unlike the novel descriptions imo. The boss was pretty stupid-looking too. Argh, I'll make do with anything sorts of animation, I really can't wait for it. |

| There wasn't any hint of ALO from the PV. The scenes I saw were all from: - Volume 1 - Volume 2: Red-nosed Reindeer Short-story, since Silica and Liz are both featured there a great possibility that the whole volume will be included. - Aria in the Starless Night (Short-story) And one of my guess is they are probably going to include volume 8's First Day (Aincrad 1st floor, November 2022) Short-story as well to add in more info about the first day after Kirito left the Starting City to go to the next town. I am not sure where they are going to fit Sugu but I liked her voice in the Accel World and SAO cross over drama CD. XD Personally I think they did the background scenery and buildings really well. I don't know but I liked staring at the scenery (especially the skies lmao and the grass land at 0:48, and @1:00 was pretty too). Sure can't expect Makoto Shinkai's ohmygodwhysobeautiful scenery but these ones are not bad since I've seen way way way way worse. |
 Yagate Kimi ni Naru |
| will be on my to-watch list :) |

Sevannen said: Since she already has a seiyuu, I'm pretty sure she'll be included. Plus if we're going into ALO, and note that Lyfa also has a seiyuu, Yui needs to appear too.ShikiNeko said: - Volume 2: Red-nosed Reindeer Short-story, since Silica and Liz are both featured there a great possibility that the whole volume will be included. Hoping this too, I want to see Yui <3. |

| No I dont think Suguha appeared in vol1. She was just mentioned but she did not appear. It was all about Kirito and the SAO game until they got out. |

belatkuro said: No I dont think Suguha appeared in vol1. She was just mentioned but she did not appear. It was all about Kirito and the SAO game until they got out. But trailer shows us some scenes form real world [Kirito in nerv gear]. It wouldn't be strange, if they included small part for imouto too. |
| |
| That could just be Kirito's first dive into SAO as flashback or something before the game starts. Anyways, I'm sure that vol1 only focused in-game and nothing about the situation outside including the families. And like I said, Suguha and Yui have seiyuus already so pretty sure we'll have ALO too. |
| |
| I was already hyped about this in the first place (novels were so damn awesome), then found out that Yuki Kajiura was doing the music. Whether or not I'll be watching this is no longer a decision anymore. |
 |
| Girl in pink @ 0:57 reminds me of one of the girls fro IdolM@ster. lol Really excited for this though love the concept so hoping for the best! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Sooooo excited for this <33 started reading the light novel a few months ago but I'd rather wait and watch the anime first :3 |
| my favourite light novel (just finished volume 5), its got a brilliant storyline and has its emotional moments and has moved me time and time again, i really look forward to it being animated and just hope they don't screw it up btw does anyone know how many episodes its going to have? if its going to cover the first volume then i would guess 20+ episodes and are they going to follow the LN? i really hope they do but then they would need to make a lot of seasons because it has a lot of volumes and a lot to cover |

edwd2 said: Especially Kirito.The characters look a lot younger than they appear in the light novel artworks Most of the parts shown were on the first floor, I'm hoping they'll at least make them look slightly older after the time skip |
|
| Sense awesomeness from this anime |
| Most of the 5000 members are in for Yuki Kajiura's music right? |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I'm quite disappointed by the animation, hopefully they aren't showing the best parts. |
 |
| Yuki Kajiura...A MUST WATCH! |
 |
| Not insanely excited about this since I'm not familiar with the light novel, but I'll definitely be checking it out. Yuki Kajiuraaa ♥♥♥ |

| been waiting for this for a long time. |
| animation is a so-so hopefully the music is godly (well its yuki so I guessed it's godly) The only thing left is "how" they execute some scene (especially the last scene of vol. 1=cuz I love it) |
| a lot of side stories is included definitely going to have more than 13 episodes my watch of the season XD though i dont really like the chara design i liked the design from the novel more |
