LOL! Time to light up and sit back while enjoying the flame wars.

Anyways, the light novel looks interesting. The original SAO novel was good and I enjoyed reading that, hopefully this new one will not disappoint.

Cute girls doing cute things SAO style? I'll pass. I liked SAO for Kirito and Asuna, not the pseudo-harem.

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed

I don't know, maybe I'll give it a read if there's good reviews but probably not.

Please don't compare it to Toaru kagaku no railgun. Railgun is not only about girls lazing around but it has a proper story and action. and that's the reason it became popular and some people feel its good than the original Index series.

Let's hope that this follows the Raigun route (Railgun > Index), then it may be worth a read.

inb4 Railgun vs Index

This is the only way I can see this being enjoyable. otherwise its just all gonna be fanservice, like we don't have enough of that :\

Hopefully we get a decent main character and some nice character devlopment this time. Itll probably end up like Railgun where the spin off is better than the source material, not to say thats much of a challenge with how crap those novels were.

Might read it, I liked Lisbeth. :D
But what I really want is Agil to get more attention, I thought he was such a great character!
