SAO fans finally have confirmation of a new season for 2014, by way of an ever so brief announcement shoved in at the end of the Extra Edition swimwear/recap special.
That the new anime will play out in the gunplay-centric world of Gun Gale Online was confirmed as well, again not at all surprising – though a relief to anyone fearing it might somehow be pushed back into 2015.

to see small girl holding Boys AM Rifle and using her hand as a bipod, that’s a big turn-off for me….

I-Is that a LIGHT SABER on Kirito hand?
WASTE OF MONEY!
WASTE OF TIME!
WASTE OF COMPARING AND LOSING TIME OVER IT!
ALL BEING POISONED BY FUKUSHIMA AND ARE GOING TO DIE!
SO DIE ALREADY SHIT HEADS!
FINALLY!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS!!
I’m sorry to all of those TV Anime series fans, but I skipped starting episode 5 of the season 1! Because I didn’t find it very interesting > >
BUT THIS, I MUST WATCH, AS A SHINO’S FAN, MUST.
Japan should really stop producing anime,
if all what they produce are “such” shows
Obviously he’s jelly. I don’t even know why he’s here for god sake if he’s really dislike Japanimation.
@Anon 22:06
You jelly, can you even make a simple animation with such quality? Shame on you
the Hecate II was used in the original gunslinger girl along side the WA2000
wouldnt this be a season 3 release because of alo?
3rd Arc
There will be almost no Asuna, Lisbeth, Silica, and Suguha
To all who didn’t know this was supposed to be the third part of the first arc which killed the SAO anime for most people because the second part ended so oddly.
So is this a direct sequel, with the same characters? Or just like taking place in the same universe and has nothing to do with the first series?
it’s a continuation, gun gale was next in the light novel series. the universe is the same…the game this time is different.
Ok its a different game, but does it have anything to do with the first series? Like the same characters who have lived through the first series, playing this new game?
@11:31. Yes it’s the same,and it has strong connections with the first arc. The main character is still Kirito. But He will get a new cool assistant to help him pull off this game. I don’t want to spoil, so I will give you a brief review: Basically strange phenomenon happened in another MMORPG game called Gun Gale Online, and Kirito feels like He knows this phenomenon had something to do with a character / group He knew from old SAO. So He enters the game to investigate the phenomenon. This is one of the coolest arc in SAO, and will give you a very different feels from the first and second arc. It’s definitely worth watching!!
well, there’s a short chapter where Kirito runs into Haruyuki while beta testing some new hardware. So there’s that.
There is plenty of debate on that actually. AW makes many suggestions to events in SAO and there are theories across the board to the parents of kuroyukihime to the technology that makes AW possible being related to the alicization project. These are all just theories and while it is confirmed more or less it exists in the same world (with direct references to the NerveGear) the rest is just conjecture. The events and characters might in fact be totally unrelated. We will have to wait to see.
Would that be before or after Accel World then?
There are some old and some new characters, Kirito is the only old char to play the new game (he is the one displayed on imaged 8) but several of the other chars watch him from outside the game.
It’s before Accel world. Accel World is another 40 years or so in the future and the “game” that introduce some of the time acceleration things from Accel World is not until the next major arc after GGO (with some smaller stuff between).
Well I’m a little POd. We were supposed to get Accel World 2 before this. :/
Asuna ran out of milk, so they turned Kirito into their new milk cow? Brilliant!
Look at all these trashy hipsters here.
Aincrad was a pretty solid arc. The character interaction was neat, characters were dynamic and grew as the story progressed. The basic plot wasn’t original, but hadn’t been done well in a long time.
Fairy Dance was probably the weakest arc so far. Despite that, I actually felt the interaction with Suguha x Kirito was really interesting and neat. For reference, cousins are OK in Japan, so you need to translate that as you watch it. That said, I hold that it was the weakest arc – it felt mainly lilke it was supposed to just introduce the world of Aincrad and Lyfa to the mix.
Phantom Bullet is the middle tier in terms of overall arcs, however Sinon as a character is the most interesting female lead/semilead the series has seen so far. Her emotions are fantastic, motivation so perfect, and general character development handled really well. She’s the reason the arc is worth watching.
Mother’s Rosario is, honestly, probably the best arc in the series so far. It’s short ( 1 book ) and to the point, and does a great job of endearing you to the characters in the little time available. Yuuki’s pretty cute and the main character for this arc is Asuna, not Kirito.
Alicization won’t be animated for sure, but if they do a season 3, I’d expect it to be this.
SAO isn’t a top 3 anime ever award, but it does a lot of things well in really flashy high-budget ways. The characters are fun and easy to like, and the villains are easy to pick out and fun to hate.
cant be surprised some people think the fairy dance was the weakest of the arcs. its cause of the whole cousin thing that had some people pissed off especially when the main fanbase liked the previous couple from the first arc, and some of the eps made it felt like he was involved in a massive harem at times. it would have been better if they did made them real siblings instead of cousins so people wont disliked the idea of them hooking up in the virtual world.
also in contrary to rumors . no I really doubt their gonna made this series into an ecchi spectacle though I have no problem with it at all, let alone have the main character from SAO into this series considering his role has ended in the alfehim arc.
to much nagging, are you my grandma? just choose watch it or not?
Sword Ass Online
Sweet Ass Online
Sword Ass Online
Where??? so i see designs of Toshihide Sano in SAO, really be a sweet ass and boobs online heheh
THE CAMELS ARE INVADING, ONE TOE AT A TIME!!
About all these snipers…
Bit**s loves canons!
so no one for “Gun Gal Online”?
“Gun Ass Online” -fixed
Good Game Okay?
That reminds me. Is that Gunz game still active?
If you guys don’t like it then don’t watch it simple as that! geez
I wish everyone would read this. I mean, I’m not over on the SnK posts saying how shitty it is. Everyone ha their likes and this just so happens to be ours. I dunno what the big deal is. El oh el
If you guys don’t like then don’t watch it simple as that! geez
I-it’s not like I want you to watch it or anything! geez!
Not watching is the easy part.
The hard part is not seeing/hearing about it everywhere if you go to any anime related places.
So many tears!
A fuck BITCH
It’s so bad that it shouldn’t exist. Not watching it won’t fix that.
Well… if the hater who hate it because of silly reason cease to exist then it would be fine as well.
just saying…
All of this hate is delicious. I can’t wait til this comes out! Log Horizon has kept me held over for this. 😀
YES!!!
*sigh* Well shit. Alright fellow Haters, let’s do this. *Puts on “Fanboy Resistance Helmet”*
here we go~
To everyone saying the Second Season will Suck: can you explain why you think that is so?
No it won’t, definitely won’t. How could you gone wrong with Sinon in your character roster 🙂
there’s…just…plenty…can’t…think…of…one…SAO…freeze…my…brain…
The plot and premise are awful.
In fact, it’s already been done in the first half of the original SAO season.
Then kirito = girl for fanservice.
It’s just……repeating the same scenario for the sake of milking the series.
so glad this is coming cause the fairy arc was crappy, the sao was good and so been waiting for this one to be animated! and so far so good! hopefully thisll be coming in spring also =D
Finally!! These animators are so slow!! I hope it’s 2 cour as well.
I hope it never aired
I fear it will become dull as hell with too much ecchi and no plot. After looking at the screenshots all I remember while typing is the butt. o.O
Nope, ecchi 2%, 98% action!! You won’t get bored with this arc.. I assure you.
YES YES YES! Everyone contain hype! 😀
So this dont have kirito or asuna, they are a little hope to this dont be a Fail….is a very very little hope but is.
No, that guy you see up there? That’s Kirito’s GGO avatar. That’s why he still has a sword even though it’s an FPS MMO.
But Asuna? Nope. Her reward for suffering through captivity for half a season is to take a vacation and not be featured in the next one, giving the new random members of the harem a chance to not get any.
She’ll show up again if they do the Mother Rosario arc, and that plot line is truly great and wonderful for its first half, but then it drama-bombs into OMG AIDS and turns into a worthless piece o–…well, I’m sure you’ll see. I wouldn’t want to ruin your impending disappointment.
The sad part is that the anime is leagues better than the original novels, just for the virtue that you aren’t privy to the female cast’s thoughts in it. The author is frankly terrible at writing female characters, as their entire existences invariably rotate between thinking about how much they love Kirito, and how much they enjoy Kirito’s attention. Crass even by light novel standards, which shouldn’t be high in the first place.
Actually BOTH the anime and the novel is terrible. It’s sad that people still watching this.
Now watch as this noob kirito hacks the game to get weapons and money. What a fucking jackass can’t he play a single fucking game without cheating.
This is why it’s ANIME! FUCK OFF!
DON’T MIX THIS WITH THAT REALITY OF YOURS! FUCKER!
What’s the point? It’s like working to get money. Everyone tells you that’s how it works, but it sucks anyway.
Oh shit a sni….
Of course Kirito has to have a cool-unique like dual wield or overly-powerful illusions that was used just once.
Now he gets a lightsaber in a world for guns.
Another crappy reason to bring weapon discussion
dont be silly, he goes all matrix on us and gets the ability to dodge or even stop the bullets midair ofcourse *cough*
This is explained on tvtropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LaserBlade
A lightsaber which anyone in that game can use, but which everyone else thought was useless because it takes skill to block bullets with it.
Not that I’m complaining, but really …
It doesn’t matter because in the end it boils down to “only Kirito is able to (effectively) use this (very typical shounen-ish and yet still advertised as unique)sword fighting style and become incredibly OP in comparison to every other players for no inadequate reasons other than because he’s the shounen Gary Stu protagonist”
It’s like trying to justify that Ichiko’s 500th transformation would be unique from the previous ones if he can access his powers from his gall bladder and summon Pokeballs from his sword, it won’t, it’s the same old tired recycled pattern from an author who cannot pull off anything better than repetitive cliches.
Kirito the Traplicious Jedi?
bring on the Trapforce
Hard to see the point without the threat of real-life death. Maybe we will get a .hack//sign or Log Horizon style “stuck in the game” but that does not have the same impact.
Dude, your not following novel are you?
*Spoiler*
You can die in that game too, just by laughing coffins bullets.
In before spoilers.
You sure no one can die??? you must read the novel my friend hahahahahahahaha
They can just soulless log out, thanks for playing.
not to mention that its the WORST arc of all of them
i doubt Reki Kawahara even has the ability to write a story half as good as .hack//sign. Though .hack//sign is not as much as a “stuck in a game” anime but more of a mystery and detective series.
It’s a fact that the story rail roads from here on out. Mother’s Rosario is OK but the drama in it was way too forced & it just made the mother look like a fool. Then we have everything else after that – UGH – that’s what Reki is writing now. It qualifies as milking & no one is taking it seriously at all.
Ah come on, they progress two rooms per novel. That’s something.
he has the ability, the problem is the SAO novel was first written when he was pratically a kid ,many years ago, and is now being rewritten to have adolescents/teenagers like it.If he were to change his style to the Toaru type i think a nice NEW work could come out.
Really? There’s people care for this pile of shit called SAO?
“True, but the problem is that his main characters Kirito/Asuna (the two characters people care about the most) are developed and established as untouchable and invincible main characters”
Somehow that has worked for a certain 40 year long running and still ongoing series called Golgo 13. Wonder why..
..no, I actually don’t. It’s sarcasm.
In Aliciation Kirito gets mortally injured and nearly dies. We still don’t know the state of his injury, iirc.
@ anon 02:57
Yah and all of these ripped off Tron.
Actually a rippoff of MCP would have made a much better villain.
.hack//sign is only good for hipsters, my friend. It was an awful and boring series.
I hear Asuna won’t even be in this one. Or anyone else from the previous games for that matter.
True, but the problem is that his main characters Kirito/Asuna (the two characters people care about the most) are developed and established as untouchable and invincible main characters and a pair, meaning that no real threat can pose for them, and i doubt Reki has any intention to kill/mortally wound them.
If he were to go for .hacksign route and suddenly have them go suddenly develop mental problems like Tsukasa did is odd and unfeasible.
But that applies to the SAO universe, im sure he can write something decent if he wrote a completely new story with a new cast.
:/
Really?
into the trash it goes!
Amen
So much praise, but the fact I actually own a computer, have played a game once or twice makes the premise of this series hurt my brain too much to watch more than the first episode. How is this popular, other than generic harem?
The microwave oven helmets were the icing on the stupid cake.
This whole premise is stupid anyway. It wont get any more stupid than that.
You’re aware that that’s actually potentially a thing the way technology is going right now, right?
Like, actually.
“let’s not disable those things, ever and let people just be trapped”.
They tried, people got fried. It’s called suspension of disbelief. You don’t have it.
the problem is not the tech. “let’s not disable those things, ever and let people just be trapped”. hack writing at it’s finest.
You can die in a video game?
Wow what an original concept……
Spoiler: This time, death involves outside the game.
No permadeath in GGO
It’s basically a reboot of .hack/something only cooler.
Nothing cooler about SAO. You want to watch something cool? Try banging your head into the wall.
The series is bad because of A certain character. If only he suck, would it be better?
Nope, nothing will make this anime better. It’ll only get sink deeper.
I’m gonna just assume the story’s gonna break down to Kirito saving the day, on his own again, and hope there’s some good ol’ gun porn.
It will be as bad as SAO was, but the ignorant will still hype and praise it.
This sequel would be better without Kirito.
Kirito is a trap finally :3
pic 4, OMG DAT ASS
wow did they not learn there lesson from the second half of SAO? even most fans of the series hate the later episodes and refuse to acknowledge it.
THAT’S BECAUSE YOUR “MOST FANS” IS ACTUALLY “NOT EVEN HALF OF THE FANS OF THE WHOLE EARTH” BAKA!
Worst anime of the year, incoming!
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! We’ve had enough of this crappy anime.
