I tried to like this. I really, really did. I was fifty-fifty sticking out for information technology upon its proclamation considering for all of the problems earlier iterations of SAO had, there was always a sense that, if the finer details were checked over and looked at in complete retrospect of what came before, it could be deservedly fun, inspiring or genuinely meaningful. A serial deserving of the immeasurable hype miracle it generated. Escapism, blurring betwixt actions of reality and fiction was ever a thematic that separated the series from the many isekais this decade that followed in its footsteps, and something that held my involvement in how information technology would be handled, just bated from arguably the Mother's Rosario arc, this wasn't given enough space in the narrative between all the superfluous anime tropes that seem to be there to draw the nigh general audition possible. Wait no further than the original Aincrad arc, praised most by anime-only fans for its concepts, only forcibly rushed to completion when its author chose to submit a discussion limited contest draft every bit the first novel, compared to refining the fully story he wanted to make. Sword Fine art Online'south biggest trouble is itself. Its writer, Reki Kawahara, keeps getting in his own way, and when he doesn't, the anime eschews his vision. What he wants to get beyond is almost always clear, and there are effortful attempts to deed on those ideas, just with the anime'due south focus on moving the plot forwards rather than making details experience elaborately set, information technology ends up bringing down the entire experience to brand watching the series weekly for the most part, feel similar a slog of boring exposition attempting to cover upwards poor pacing of external events. If something from earlier is justified, it can experience annoyingly retroactive. Kirito himself is less a cistron than in previous arcs, he is even so partially to blame in the indistinct coverage of how this season adds to the themes of the franchise. General spoilers for the season beneath: The primary premise of this arc is that Kirito, while on a date with his girlfriend Asuna, is caught off guard and stabbed to near death by 1 of the 3 Decease Guns from the previous season. While in a coma, he ends upward in the digital globe of Rath, a system used for a military experimentation projection where he must do..............................nothing in particular at no existent urgency. At that place is a plot, and there is a goal, but for once they feel entirely divide from the tension. Simply I'll go to that later on. SAO, being equally popular equally it is, has mostly being met with snark and derision from people calling it the "worst always" or otherwise exaggerating the flaws of information technology, so I think information technology'south fair to beginning off with the positives of this season, because contrary to what haters will tell you, they practise be. 1. Production value and music. These have been consistent strengths of the SAO serial throughout the years and generally, they nonetheless concord up here. The character models have on the new polished fashion from the Ordinal Scale Movie, and while non having every bit much blitheness (I'll go to that), the look is maintained very well across all 24 episodes of the testify. If yous compare to the original 2 seasons, there is a definite improvement, and while the architecture present isn't specially unique or standout, it is well presented. As well, Yuki Kajura's music, while not her best soundtrack, still does what it can to set the mood for the quieter scenes and the activeness scenes, with a great new remix of Swordland to keep with information technology. Special mention to some of the opening moments of Episode ii, and the fight in Episode 16. Of the music outside of the prove, the kickoff OP and the 2d ED are the best ones and do have a good amount of catchiness and free energy to them. 2. Alice Schuberg, the arc'southward new female lead. While information technology takes 16 episodes in to really really explore her as a character, and she looks a lot like Saber from the Fate series, the time we do have from then on with her sets her equally probably the most consequent female person lead in SAO so far. Equally of still, she's hasn't been subjected to an endless supply of donkey shots, her growth hasn't been stunted past time skips, nor is her growth entirely for Kirito's sake. Her arc of rejecting the corrupt organization she's been brainwashed under, wanting to reconnect with her old life and opening up on her feelings is adequately handled and leads to some of the stronger character moments this flavor. She likewise has one of the coolest weapons in terms of both pattern and animation; a infinite bending sword acting equally moving protection with gilded butterflies equally weapons. It'south been put to constructive use in the fights then far and has potential to exist used further as the story moves along. three. Measuring Kirito's power. Compared to say, the Phantom Bullet arc, some of the worst aspects of his character are toned down. He doesn't beginning the series overpowered from the become-become, has actual struggles in several fights and even takes a few Ls in a couple of them. It gives a couple of the fights in the flavour more than tension than previous ones. The beingness of Eugeo also helps for his sake since the show is better able to rest the battles between the 2 of them rather than giving Kirito the unabridged spotlight. It doesn't mean at that place isn't however an annoying corporeality of contrived solutions to conflicts, only that's more on the writing than him specifically. 4. Actually building the villain. The arc's villain, a Knight Templar dictator calling herself Quinella, has an established backstory and a defined reason for ruling the style she does. We know why she is the villain, we encounter the clear consequences of her actions on the world and she isn't every bit laughable to be taken seriously compared to say, Sugou from ALFheim. She'due south a product of an as of now unknown evil seed, but nonetheless she's established properly. All the same, showing her attractive naked body on screen doesn't work at all to be alienating for a series that in the by used naked bodies during bath scenes as fanservice. There are some fun intensity moments with her in the climax, even if the battle is a mere two minutes long. Unfortunately, that'due south the positives out of the fashion. Now for everything else that really breaks this arc and saddens me given the inherent potential of a SAO story. The biggest trouble that persists throughout the entire show is the immeasurable focus on exposition over every other element. Characters will abandon the idea of development, fighting, talking, globe building, or annihilation else for the opportunity to talk in technical terms about topics that, while somewhat relevant, are not every bit important every bit what else could be focused on. Eugeo, the new male atomic number 82, has got family issues? No, that's non important. We need to talk nigh the villain's plan and "Fluctlights" (the series' pretentious proper name for digital souls in an indistinct coverage of AI vs humans) again. Knowing how that works is way more important that a main grapheme's backstory. The exposition ofttimes brings the narrative to a screeching halt, especially in scenes where the heroes finish fighting the villain and exposition for a few minutes while the villain only stands around waiting for them. Exposition is something inherent in building a setting and establishing the plot. I understand the use for information technology. There are several shows that accept still been entertaining despite or because of their exposition. Merely SAO Alicization'southward exposition is non merely incredibly frequent but boring and lacking in character. It'south frequent plenty to where Episode 1 spends 10 minutes just expositioning off vague terms about the setting, while one-half of Episode 12 and nearly all of Episode 13 are cipher but this apartment delivery of the plot. Other episodes tend to tag nearly every fight with exposition that'south viii times longer than the fight itself. While the old director was no exemplar by whatever ways, he at least knew how to brand fights seem varied and heady visually with a lot of movement. Here, Yuki Kajiura puts in the effort, but this new director who directed some of the worst LN adaptations in recent retention like Mahouka and The Asterisk War, just cannot pull it off. Then, when the OP makes you retrieve you'll exist getting this epic fight, information technology's unremarkably just perhaps two attacks apiece preceded and followed by 5-10 minutes of exposition. The framing device of the season also presents several issues this time around. The idea that Kirito's exploration in this new world is happening while his existent-world trunk is comatose could generate tension, just this alongside Kirito's connection to the real globe is poorly substantiated. In learning about this framing device, we, as the audience, know it is only a waiting game for Kirito to heal up and be dorsum to normal. Until the very last episode, his actions in Rath take absolutely no consequences in the real earth. None of that "die in the game die in real life" stuff here. He gets really hurt from time to fourth dimension simply we have no thought how his real body is taking it. There'south a ii-year timeskip at 1 point, but unlike in Season 1 where information technology really was two years, nosotros have no thought how much the time commutation is between the system and the real world which I think hurts the connection to the story. This framing device besides separates Kirito from his past connections in this story. I don't mind the reduced role of his entourage for the moment (even if Asuna, who SHOULD be important, has nothing to do correct now), but he barely brings them up over what'southward been at least two years. There was one moment Kirito thought of his real-world connections, merely that was for a poorly blithe fight that concluded in a draw and had admittedly no effect going forward. Kirito cries more than over the fact that flowers he planted were destroyed (that were contrivedly brought back anyways) than fifty-fifty the chance that he might NEVER see Asuna again being stuck for so long. I want to care, simply the prove refuses to let me with a framing device that undermines the events and severs past connections. Other sometime habits dice hard, whether considering of Kawhara'southward own writing or the adaptation. Not just practice we become some other ridiculous rapey scene, but there's a two-year timeskip rather than say, actually seeing Kirito and Eugeo train upwards to be amend swordsman. They set up off for the Upper-case letter and the next we see them, Boom, two years pass, and they've already had a lot of training done. They could've at least done an FMA03 type matter by edifice character relationships prior to a timeskip just nope, most all relationships at the sword academy are shown after and as of now, doesn't thing to annihilation since nosotros know so little about them. If this was better in the light novel, good for Kawahara, just perhaps information technology should've been a cause for business organisation seeing how much got cutting for the anime onlys. In this accommodation, the only purpose of the sword academy stuff, aside from telling usa Kirito and Eugeo became better swordsmen offscreen, was to build two bullies as irredeemable rapey monsters, and paint two cute girls as victims of this. We don't know much virtually them either, aside from i of them having a romance arc with Eugeo that goes absolutely nowhere. In that location'southward likewise a lot of contrivances to brand progress, similar with Kirito seeing the "ghost" of Alice in Episode iv lead him the correct mode, how Cardinal is introduced into the story specifically to ex Machina Kirito and Eugeo out of a scene, and how Kirito uses a completely unknown attack to one shot a late-game villain that returns him to his Black Swordsman glaze for a bit. This assail is never referred to by name and never mentioned once more. And it'south not similar this progress has done well for the characters, as Alice aside, they range from passable to horribly flat. Kirito isn't as overpowered as before, but aside from problems the framing device puts on him, he still has annoying moments, like one case where he retroactively Sherlocked his style to avoid beingness poisoned, or where he used a device he just had two of on a character he barely knew, rather than to potentially stop the villain and relieve Alice. The show puts him in the right for this by the way, and at that place's not much of an arc for him this flavor either. Cardinal is actually pretty decent, fifty-fifty if the show'southward use of her every bit an ex Machina isn't for the best. The sword academy characters are barely developed at all, and amongst the antagonists, but Bercouli and Deusolbert are passable; the residual are simply obnoxious. Fanatio's just character trait is being aback of beingness a woman, which falls deaf when both the main villain and Alice, whom she knows personally, are also women, as well equally there being no indication of gender partitioning in the world. And Chudelkin'due south only purpose is to ruin the tone and brand rapey faces whenever possible until kill stealing at the terminate. Which leads us to the biggest wasted potential so far, Eugeo. There was a lot of potential for his character at the start. Existence a guy partner to assistance balance Kirito out of the spotlight, at that place was a lot Kawahara could practise with what he distinctly did not know about Kirito, his personal relationships with him and Alice every bit kids, his fighting ability, the idea that he has more innate fighting potential than Kirito, his unawareness of being an AI program and his romantic human relationship to Tiese. Unfortunately, non one of these elements go to shine in this adaptation to permit us in on his blank sheet personality. Perhaps improved in the calorie-free novel, but the anime should have better stood on its own. Him having more innate potential than Kirito is completely ignored later on on, his sword preparation is told not shown, and anything the show tries to pull regarding his relationships with Kirito/Alice as kids, his family, or Tiese fall completely deaf because they received little to no focus. He didn't even TALK to Alice in the present twenty-four hour period, once. The show would rather go into long tirades of exposition than testify a master graphic symbol's backstory! Virtually everything well-nigh him was entirely cut short past the testify despite having more than than enough time to act on all of it. They endeavour their all-time to make upwardly for it at the end, but it's a flake besides lilliputian too late. It'southward hard to say whether I'm more annoyed or disappointed with how Alicization has been executed so far. Sure, some of the problems in the world, characters and framing device can be fixed going forward, but first impressions are everything and this series did not make a good i. The focus on constant exposition over all else, the disconnected framing device, and lackluster grapheme writing drag it downwards more than than needed, but it could've been avoided if Kawahara only knew what to focus on or the anime didn't skim over the ameliorate parts, since his ideas are abundantly clear. The SAO franchise can theoretically explore a lot, but it almost deliberately gets written into corners. That's something I've e'er given SAO over the many works that accept almost no effort at all to human action on their ideas, and though there'due south that hazard for the future with new elements coming in to brand the second half an improved experience, this season's quality suggests it won't be without a wide range of caveats.

In a world where popular light novels gets anime, manga, games, and hell, even live action movies, there's one title I'g sure no anime fan can ignore. Sword Fine art Online. Becoming ever more popular and entering a mainstream line of anime adaptations, the franchise has too no doubt sparked decent deal of controversy. Merely hey, controversy sometimes makes greenbacks right?
It's not rocket science to realize SAO would eventually go a continuation. It was just a affair of when and after 5 years since the second flavour, the time is at present. Sword Art Online Alicization covers the lite novels with an extended amount of material, much more than the previous season. It'due south so much that in fact, a full 2-cour season of 24 episodes isn't enough. Luckily, it has been confirmed the series would run more than that and given an additional season for its adaptation. However, the large question people should ask themselves if this is another SAO show to jump into or a cash grab at making more money. Starting with the prologue, we go a double length episode to give a full general background of the new season. Make no mistake though equally Alicization is non going to spoonfeed viewers with recapping. The show assumes you are familiar with the first 2 shows so anyone hoping to lookout man this needs to take completed the first 2 seasons. Light novel adaptations tends to suffer a lot from accommodation standards but thankfully, Alicization manages to deliver a faithful start with its character cast and storytelling. Also Kirito, nosotros are introduced to Eugeo, a new character who serves as his partner and best friend in this arc. Similar to Kirito, he has a kind heart although lacks experience in the beginning compared to him. He as well appears somewhat cowardly in the beginning equally he is unable to forestall certain events from happening, in particular for failing to assist his childhood friend Alice. It'due south not until he meets Kirito that he develops a resolve and finds the courage to become a stronger person. That is to say, Alicization features a lot of character bonding especially in the offset half of the show. Eugeo begins to grow out of his vanquish after training and becoming strong enough to fight as a warrior. It actually shouldn't accept long to realize that he has swell potential, perhaps fifty-fifty someday of surpassing Kirito himself. As for Kirito, his personality remain largely the aforementioned in this season. That is, he is a selfless person who isn't afraid to assist others in demand. Kirito and Eugeo develops great respect for each other and the latter even finds his resolve. The two sometimes almost experience like brothers. Outside of the duo, you may have noticed another prominent grapheme being featured in the trailers or cardinal visuals. Alice would be her proper noun and she is Eugeo's childhood friend. The evidence makes it clear that she is an important character from her introduction to afterwards on in the story. Alicization also devotes time to developing her character after meeting Kirito. Despite having a rocky start, she develops respect and a growing trust for him. Now, people may accept a curiousity if Alice become some other 'harem girl' similar to some of the previous seasons. SAO is non a harem although it gives off a stench at times. Thankfully, there'southward no demand to worry. The closest that Alice seems to exist with Kirito is when they are at the belfry during one of the episodes and nothing more comes out of information technology. On the other paw, Kirito's friends from the existent world are still concerned about his well-being. In item, Asuna searches for him through unorthodox methods while discovering some revelations about the technology in the existent world. Remember, the world of SAO contains complex technology that defies the police of nature. I'thou not even referring the VR system or robotics but rather the capability of influencing people's lives. This extends to the virtual world where the Administrator managed to utilize system commands to reverse her ain age. Sounds unbelievable, right? As with previous seasons, Alicization tin't be complete without antagonists and conflicts. I of the major antagonist in the new season is the Ambassador, Quinella and her Integrity Knights. She'south an important character as not only is she a threat to the main protagonists but as well a goad for some of the key events in this season. This includes character manipulation that extends to our new characters such equally Eugeo and Alice. I'1000 non going to lie though, one of the events in this show is rather disturbing to watch considering the manner she manipulates others. (I'grand looking at you, Eugeo) On even more disturbing matters, we even have characters that commits unforgiveable sins that pushes Eugeo to the edge. Information technology's the type of event that brings controversy out of its fullest. I'm not going to spoil it but when you become to that particular episode, you'll feel disgusted likewise. Information technology's so disturbing that information technology fifty-fifty changes Eugeo'southward views on the laws of their world and causes him to insubordinate. Quinella herself likewise demonstrates a God-similar complex with her ain dark motives. If I said it once, I've said it a hundred times. She is insufferable. I doubt anyone with a sane mind would find her character likable. I can't be the only 1 to notice that the blitheness quality improved more than the previous seasons, right? The Ufotable-like animation is used in parallel with the Sword Art Online moving-picture show, Ordinal Scale. Not only did the animation mode improve, it too managed to arts and crafts an imaginative virtual world to information technology its fullest. The character designs are also featured in dandy details compared to previous seasons. In item, Alice is important to notation for her benevolent await and golden armor. Character expressions are meaningful with an emphasis put on human emotions. Eugeo is a prominent example particularly as his personality shifts from a weak survivor to a noble swordsman. While I'm not impressed by how antagonist are portrayed this season, they were able to evangelize their dialogues straight with a degree of villainous expressions. Quinella is the biggest culprit with her manipulative personality. Her malevolence simply cannot be overlooked. The SAO franchise is one of the longer light novel running adaptations that continues to build more into its universe. Truthfully and despite some of the controversy from the past seasons, this i managed to finally jump out of its rabbit hole and evangelize what I wanted to see. With another flavor on the way, I cross my fingers that it will ride on this momentum.

The anime customs seems to exist split up in its opinion on SAO. Half of them ignore everything positive nearly it and simply talk most negetive things. The other half just does the contrary. No other anime has been this controversial for more than 5 years after its original release. Now hither is a new flavour that features mostly unlike cast from the original. And so is information technology worth watching or not? Here is my analysis:-
**THIS Volition INCLUDE MINOR SPOILERS Most THE OVERALL SETTING **
The story this time is centered not on a game, but around a simulation of civilization. The aim of this simulation is to develop highly avant-garde A.I capable of thoughts and emotions. It brings about some ethical questions about humanity, playing God, and where to draw the line in scientific experiments. This flavour deals with more of these mature themes than the previous seasons ever did. The premise is that Kirito finds himself in a medieval world with its own history and lore and journeys with his newfound friend Eugeo to accomplish both of their (different) goals. It starts out dull, with a lot of focus on globe building. Even though it seems asunder to the plot of the previous seasons, somewhen many plot points from before will make their manner into the story. So information technology is important to picket the last seasons to become a full agreement of the current season. Eugeo is the focus of these two cours, Kirito just tagging along. He has an innocent, easygoing personality that makes the story piece of work - much similar Frodo from Lord of the Rings. He is the embodiment of a common citizen of Underworld. His opinions about himself, others and the society he is in changes throughout the story and the viewers go to experience the same things he does. Alice has not much role in the initial office, but her time for development will come in the third and 4th cours. Unlike SAO's history, there is hurting and blood in the fights. Information technology makes the characters' struggle believable and makes yous root for the characters. Later on on, the story gets fifty-fifty more darker without resorting to plain bloodshed - in a psychological way. Kirito is not overpowered in this arc. He only has the knowledge of a swordsman and works his way from the bottom up. The entire story is well thought out and is planned beforehand. There are several questions that arise in the early episodes - the answers are fabricated clear slowly, as the plot progresses. Some of the things happened may seem irrelevant and random, only they make sense somewhen. A large number of new characters are introduced in this season. Near of them influence main characters in various means. The iii principal characters undergo some changes throughout the series and get some good character evolution. But the aforementioned cannot be said most the side characters.These characters last only for about iii episodes and don't make an appearence till the 2nd part of this arc, but the gap is likewise long. The review will be incomplete if the villain is non mentioned. Information technology is an ambitious character capable of easily manipulating others for personal proceeds that ended upwards turning into a different and dangerous entity due to an accident. Certainly there are amend villains in the anime history, merely this graphic symbol is arguably the best villain SAO has seen so far. There is a moral ambiguity for this grapheme. There are plenty of criticisms that can be offered as well. Some episodes have a lot of talking involved. A lot of exposition is delivered this mode. People expecting all out activeness scenes volition be disappointed or bored by these episodes. At that place is some pseudo-scientific discipline explanation for the premise. It may not entreatment to everyone. The tower climbing arc is adapted very poorly. The Integrity knights that are supposed to accept their ain reasons and understandings about the world effectually them are dumbed down to mere villains of the week. The cliffhangers are conceived in a very poor way. They experience forced and unnecessary because most of the fights are very brusque. The anime looks gorgeous with colorful shading - just like Ufotable. Simply the same can't be said about activeness sequences. In many action sequences, the frame of blitheness focuses only on one grapheme. It makes the viewer unable to follow the fights well. The short fights are usually already concluded by the fourth dimension we get invested into them. The soundtrack is underwhelming compared to the last seasons. Erstwhile music is repeatedly used by remixing it. But few soundtracks are memorable and they don't final long. Some of them sound very like to Yuki Kajiura's other works. But new notable music is the Eugeo'southward theme and the Quinella's theme. The accommodation of the source cloth is below average. It is not butchered to Tokyo Ghoul Re'due south extent, but it is significantly rushed and cuts out a good amount of inner monologues that gives a good understanding of character relations and motivations. Think of the GGO arc that lasted for fourteen episodes but at present shrink it into 8 episodes. That is how much rushed it actually is. Even and so, everything that has happened can still be understood with some thought. Tl;dr - If you liked the previous seasons, it is a must watch. There is still two more than cours to come. But that is a dissimilar entry in the database. Exist informed that the story doesn't end yet.
If you lot thought that the previous seasons were wasted potential then this is yet worth watching as it explores a different theme - in far more than detail.
However if you didn't like the original characters of SAO, and then improve stay abroad from this flavor. Chances are that you will non like this flavor either.
For me, what is great about this arc are its themes and execution, albeit the poor adaptation.

Sword Art Online franchise presents a new entry with its Alicization ark and doubles down on familiar writing disasters. With this flavour SAO reaches new storytelling lows and besides seems to lose its terminal redeeming quality – action scenes.
SCORE: 2 – Very Bad.
STORY: Slow exposition scenes interrupted by obligatory and meaningless fights. Not that the actual plot is whatsoever adept. A lot of techno gibberish, plot holes and questionable motivations. Only a simple "save the girl" premise buried under a convoluted mess of pointless subplots. At least, people will stop talking nigh Asuna'south horrible treatment in the showtime season, as SAO:A manages to top that scene. Genius. CHARACTERS: Kirito - doubled; harem - disabled. ART & Blitheness: One step forrard, 2 steps backwards. The biggest downgrade happened to action scenes. Sword fights turned into arm wrestling competition, where combatants just press glowing sticks against each other. Gone are the days of fluid sword dancing. Fifty-fifty the most potent fight against goblins in ep4 borrows also much from infamous directorial techniques like unnecessary camera move or excessive close-ups, executed at 10 cuts per second. I certainly could not enjoy presented action. Audio: The most anime sound possible. Do not waste material your time on this garbage. If y'all are looking for a competent "trapped in a video game world" anime with a clear goal, superb world edifice, diplomacy, smart use of game mechanics and successful focus on NPCs, try Log Horizon.
At the offset I was slightly confused, because SAO:A does not directly follow on its second season. This defoliation lasted only a few episodes and worked every bit a setup for a new "death simulation" for Kirito, without his harem, but with the same amount of plot armor and OPnes.
Terrible writing is more than apparent in this flavor than anywhere else in the franchise. This show is as well decorated creating lengthy exposition dumps virtually either mundane or unnecessary topics: several episodes long discussion about calling and its meanings, that loses relevance later on 1 sword swing; an entire episode to plant something as simple as basic royalty organisation; or fifteen minutes of backstory for ii characters, who lose inside 10 seconds and vanish, only to name a few. As a effect, plot progresses at a snail footstep.
At that place is Kirito and and then in that location is lesser Kirito, who is just a slightly junior version of the original. Support cast consists of crazy dudes and girls, predetermined set on victims or characters who die for nothing. At that place is really not much to talk about here.
While character models and backgrounds show more craftsmanship than the boilerplate anime show, SAO:A seems sterile und unimaginative, be it detailed only boring backgrounds or character designs.
This is a MVP production, equally Minimal Feasible Product. Neither the music, nor the voice act stand out and will leave any memory. Maybe with the exception of this distorted audio on high energy impacts during fights.
