“Kazuma Miki, the light novel editor and an anime producer for Sword Art Online, stated at a "SAO and GGO New Anime and Original Work Stage” presentation at a Sword Art Online fan meeting event on Saturday that the upcoming Sword Art Online: Alicization anime will cover the entirety of the Alicization arc from Reki Kawahara’s Sword Art Online light novel series. Miki didn’t mention any information regarding the length of the new anime.“
The producer has joked that it'll be 48 cours. Needless to say they know it'll be quite long.
Jaxson Kelly
Well, this isn't a joke. What do you guys expect? Can this possibly be 50 episodes or a long running anime?
Nathaniel Carter
The question is, will the loss in butthurt asunafags be recoverable with the new influx of fujoshits ?
Cameron Roberts
I expect 48 episodes or so.
Cameron Robinson
Do you think it's gonna be continuous or split in two 24 episode chunks?
Xavier Martinez
Oh, so that means Alicization is actually done? The LNs have finally moved into a new arc? Or was Alicization the last arc and it's done now?
Jeremiah Martinez
I think a split in two would be great. That way the animation doesn't have to suffer. Also if they do then the last episode of the first cour sets up for a fantastic cliffhanger.
Oliver Moore
Reki has said there's a final arc that's going to be called Unital Ring. Apparently it'll have something to do with Augmented Reality.
Parker Brown
Oh fuck yes. That'll be great. Imagine secondaries seeing the last episode with Kirito as a vegetable.
Jacob Hill
Is the mmo after Alicization this one you speak of or will it be the one after?
Juan Thompson
Alicization isn't mmo. It's a simulation to make a bottom up A.I. and we still don't have anything else on Unital Ring.
Carson Baker
There is no new mmo that we know of, Unital Ring will take place after Alicization and supposedly deal with both AR and IRL stuff. The Augma is going to be involved
Kayden Baker
can we trust a1?
Aaron Russell
for reference i think the 'muh seibah clone' thing is bullshit, my alice fantasy just happens to coincide exactly with pic related
probably not, but they seem to care enough about SAO as a property to make me think they won't actively attempt to fuck it up
Lincoln Reed
this will air in summer I assume
Zachary Young
I heard that when they ask the LN illustrator to design Alice, it was specifically requested to be different from Saber despite all the similarities
Oliver Walker
Will Itou direct it again?
Lincoln Martin
Very likely.
Jack Martin
A-1 made Mother's Rosario better than it was in the LN so I'm not worried.
Gabriel Thomas
made shit to turd?
Chase Garcia
Unless there's some behind the scenes drama I doubt he won't
Jonathan Bennett
RELEASE RECOLLECTION
Logan Perez
This show is the one that brought them into prominence. You really think they will want to fuck it up?
Levi Myers
what if they put all of alicization into two cours
Oliver Kelly
That wouldn't be too bad to be honest. Unless they're adapting Mion's Cradle Arc then we'll need 3 cours.
2 cours is impossible for it. Anyone with a working brain in that industry knows that.
Jack Collins
>There are actually people hating on SAO >In motherfucking 2018
Angel Martin
I'm actually pretty excited for this because I've only heard good things about this arc.
Evan Ortiz
In b4 that "HURRRR DUR KIRITO KIDNAPPED BY EVIL NSA DURRRR HURRRR ROCKET DRAGONS! LOOK MA, I WRITE IT ALL DOWN WITHOUT CONTEXT AND DETAILS TO MAKE IT SOUND STUPID! LMAOOOOO" copypasta faggot.
Isaac Smith
Is this the fujo arc? How gay will it be? Will there be porn of the two guys?
Hudson Green
There's no doujins (yet) but I'm very certain there will be.
Joseph Robinson
Unital Ring will will end with the development of the NeuroLinker and the release of Brain Burst. Mark my words.
Ayden Green
This is pretty likely to happen.
Kayden Rodriguez
I doubt it, since that would mean the story spans more than 10 years or something. Since the Brain Chip needs to be invented in the middle and there are bunch of earlier games on the same architecture of BB like that one from the anime OVA that was re-mentioned in the Gameverse called Accel Assault.
Most likely Unital rings ends with the groundwork laid out for AW to happen in a few decades, with stuff like Kikoha and the SkyKing needing a reason to do all that shit in the first place and Kirito heading off to college in the States where I'm assuming he will help develop the Brain Implant chip. Don't think we will quite get Nerve Gear since quantum computers are still these things that tech companies and government labs have like 1 or 2 units of so the world is probably pretty far away from a wearable mass market release.
Asher Baker
If Kirito x Argo is a go, would it be /ss/?
Leo Howard
Technically. I mean he's 14 by the start of SAO and she's between 16-18 years old.
Jordan Morris
Can't wait for Asuna's arc
Ryder Kelly
How often did she and Kirito fuck? They clearly had something going on since they met up at least weekly, and I've got my bets on the theory that it wasn't always for buying/selling intel
Chase Brooks
>Is this the fujo arc? Yes. >How gay will it be? Quite. >Will there be porn of the two guys? Yes.
Blake Murphy
I hope A-1 goes anime original route and make Eugeo stay alive.
Chase Hall
Maybe she backed off because of Acchan.
Jacob Roberts
I want him to be alive but I don't know if I want ti change the story like that
Jaxson Wright
yes to all three i'm not into fujo but anything that gives us more cute kirito and eugeo can never be a bad thing
Ryder Roberts
I share this sentiment. Their banter is cute and they actually feel like true best friends.
Isaac Ortiz
fuck you, why spoil shit for us secondaries?
Jaxon Bailey
How would Eugeo react to Kirito's GGO avatar?
For the eventual genderbend KiritoxEugeo fics and doujins
Liam Davis
You'll forget about this anyway
Jonathan Martin
>r63 eugeo oh lordy
Robert Johnson
>Asuna is away You bet
Benjamin Lewis
where are you guys reading this in english? I was reading Defan's and he's still on vol 18 as far as I know
Aiden King
Just learn moon runes.
Anthony Brooks
he was in college in the movie
Xavier Jenkins
you KNOW A-1 is going to bait the hell out of the fujos even if nothing actually happens doujins guaranteed
Christopher James
Which means Argo should be in her 20s by OS.
Carson Mitchell
I'M WORKING ON IT OK?!!! do ALL of you guys seriously know nip? at this point the anime will probably be out in english before the LNs
Ethan Rogers
No, he was looking at places to apply to in the movie, he was still in high school
James Morgan
>Kirito is 17-19 in OS That would make Agro 21-23, Hey Kii-boy, wanna /ss/?
Joseph Phillips
H-hot
Jacob Davis
What are some moments you're hyped in watching for Alicization?
Heck if they managed to make Uolo vs Kirito a fantastic fight then I'd be pretty amazed.
Jordan Sanchez
Pretty much everything in the tower.
Isaiah Ross
Everything in the dark territory.
Christopher Perez
I'm especially hyped for Eugeo vs Bercouli. My boy on his own against the super prototype Synthesis Knight will be fantastic
Connor Moore
Eldrie vs the entirety of the combined Dark Arts chant. Boy had me awed and I thought he was just some little bitch but he was a good guy.
Isaac Brown
They better make the time he Incarnates as his SAO avatar to be fucking hype, anything less would not do this justice.
Angel Murphy
Hot and bothered.
I bet Klein was too.
Cameron Watson
>I bet Klein was too. Who wouldn't get hot and bothered over that image. The girls would be on the floor with puddle of their blood.
Josiah Ward
They need to do this right
Caleb Johnson
There will be inevitable shitposting at how he used an umbrella as a sword.
Gabriel Wright
Kirito gets isekai'd, cardiac arrest by neurotoxin styel
Parker Anderson
Will A-1 make it right this time? Will Reki Kawahara writing be good this time?
Jackson Scott
The largest chunk of the middle is good, the beginning and end parts are iffy for me but there are still quite stand out scenes.
And since A-1 knows how long it is, I have hope they'll be able to adapt it quite well.
Sebastian Richardson
If its anything less than 48 episodes it'll be garbage.
Andrew Ross
Is that Kayano Ai?
Luke Martinez
Yes
Hudson Ramirez
Thought so. Sounded very similar to her other seiba clone
Cameron Lewis
Alicization will unironically save anime. God bless Miki.
Jason Thompson
...
Jose Flores
Alice's kamehameha in the big battle better be epic as hell
Hudson Ward
Out of all the childhood friend trios I've seen, Kirito, Eugeo and Alice is truly a precious one.
Logan Ortiz
Quinella
Jayden Nelson
Cutting down the fucking tree
Cooper Miller
Saber is not a bitch/slot like Darkness. Unless you count the doujins.
Jace Diaz
If Administrator is so perfect she doesn't need to wear clothes, why does she wear a choker?
Lincoln Morris
I have no clue but probably just part of her aesthetics. She's also still prime breeding material even after 200+ years
Lincoln Edwards
Just because you're beyond physically perfect doesn't mean you can't wear accessories, user
Jackson Butler
because having the choker and the choker only is easily 15x hotter than just being nude
Jack Lopez
SAO is so based, it's great to have a hero in Kirito that modern viewers can relate to and the writing and fights are some of the best in anime let alone fiction.
It's great to see one of the best written works of fiction continue to be based, translated, and adapted. It's something everyone can (and should) experience. It will make you a better person, entertain you, touch you and more.
SAO is by far one of the best things Japan has ever produced and with the upswing in virtual reality in the real world and SAOs continued domination in media, we live in a very exciting time.
Colton Cox
Even AI must know about A E S T H E T I C S
Brandon Watson
...
Xavier Cox
reminder that There Will Be Blood
David Smith
The first episode when all the shitposting will be "OH MY GOD KIRITO FINALLY DIED"
Carson Scott
>SAO is by far one of the best things Japan has ever produced and with the upswing in virtual reality in the real world and SAOs continued domination in media, we live in a very exciting time.
Sounds like b8, but I agree.
Jaxon Parker
That's actually pretty decently written. Is this a good example of Reki Kawahara's general writing in the LNs?
Elijah Phillips
I usually make it a point of not giving retarded tripfags (You)s but your post made me.
Are you retarded? You're retarded arent you? You didnt even read the post, you just saw the word seiba and you assumed i was comparing anyone to your shitty little character. Please, just fucking off yourself already. Useless waste of fucking space
Isaiah Ross
God. The gameverse have made me appreciate all the girls so much and if I hadn't played it, I'll probably still think that Asuna is the only good girl.
Christian Torres
>first episode Second episode you mean. The first episode needs to be nothing but the childhood prolouge.
