Movie #2 out Fall 2022
Sword Art Online: Progressive
Logan Morris
Julian Miller
Is the first one even out on BD yet? I haven't seen it on Nyaa, and thus haven't seen it period.
Nathaniel Cooper
I saw Kiriasu shippers griping about how the first movie was a poor adaptation of the LN/manga and butchered Asuna's motivations etc. What did casual /sao/fags think of it?
Adam Rivera
Animeonly here, it was mostly boring except for the final battle. Three people switching looked cool for me as someone practicing armed martial arts. Final battle was kind of worth it.
Jack Wilson
alicization really killed or would say did damage to the franchise
Jaxson Richardson
>damage
It's not so much that as running out of material to adapt, since they caught up to the LNs. Turning to Progressive was the natural course. They should do another original movie though, Ordinal Scale was pretty good
Kayden Sullivan
Fuscus is fucking huge in the adaptation.
James James
talking about the general buzz or hype around it, though sao really had a good run for a ln series
Alexander Peterson
Posting best girl.
Jaxson Wood
>"adapts" 1 chapter of first Progressive novel with OC plot
>skips straight to volume 4
But why? At least these guys finally get their deban out of a gacha I guess
Brandon Thompson
>running out of material to adapt
I wish gameverse OCs will get animated some day. They already acknowledged the 2 Fatal Bullet OC exist in Alicization.
Sebastian Rodriguez
Is she behind the beast?
Hudson Garcia
As far as I can tell from some quick searching, the BD release date for the first one hasn’t even been announced yet.
Jackson King
For me it's Kizmel
Jayden Flores
They were overeacting based off PVs, movie is fine.
Blake Walker
Makes sense, Ilfang also got an upgrade last movie.
Lucas Powell
Reki said it's cause the elf war quest is still unifinished, so floor 5 is being adapted now instead.
Austin Sanders
I wonder will they just straight up pretend the elves don't exist in Scherzo movie.
Jordan Parker
The best. If anything, I'm glad she appeared in HR since it's going to be a while before she gets an animated appearance.
Colton Perez
They'll probably still include the elf bits in Scherzo, since they probably plan on adapting it afterwards. We know from a leak that they're not stopping with two movies.
Josiah Phillips
Will there be a lot of Argo in this arc? I only read Aria of the Starless Night and they removed all of her scenes in there. The producer must hate her so much.
