Kadokawa published the eighth volume on June 10. Kiseki Himura (Just Because!) began a manga adaptation in Dengeki G's magazine in June 2013 before transferring to Dengeki G's Comic the following April. The manga covered the first two volumes of the light novel and ended in February 2018. Kadokawa released the seventh and final volume in May 2018. Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English in 2014 and shipped the seventh manga volume in December 2018 and the sixth novel volume last July. The seventh light novel volume is scheduled to go on sale on January 18, 2022. Synopsis This is a tale of the time before "Lightning Flash" and "The Black Swordsman" were known by those names... The day that she happened to don the NerveGear, Asuna Yuuki was a third-year middle school student who'd never even touched an online game before. On November 6, 2022, the world's first VRMMORPG, Sword Art Online, is officially launched. But the players, still euphoric over having logged in, suddenly find themselves trapped inside the game when the Game Master deprives them of any way to log out. The Game Master then gives them this warning "This may be a game, but it's not something you play." If a player dies in-game, they die in the real world. Hearing this, all of the players panic, and pandemonium reigns. One of those players is Asuna, but despite not yet knowing the rules of this world, she sets off to conquer the floating iron castle, Aincrad, whose peak is too high to be seen. As the days go by in this world where death is never very far away, she has a fateful encounter. And then, a parting... Though she's at the mercy of the reality before her eyes, Asuna fights on with all her might until someone appears before her: the aloof swordsman, Kirito...

| Ye heard it was announced at the end of the movie. |
 |
| Amazing, they really are on a mission to destroy SAO novels. |
 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
| happy for the announcement but to be fair, Lighting Flash and Black Swordsman sounds way too 14 year old gamer, but they were young so I give them that |

| Great news but I heard that apparently they are going to skip 2-4 floor. The second movie will feature 5 floor. Idk if it's true or not . |
| I've been told multiple times that Progressive is actually that much more good and detailed than the original LN and due to the focus on Asuna, I'm not surprised in the slightest to see that we're getting a second movie I just hope that the first one comes out on BD soon so I can watch it and join in the hype |

So it may hint to a TV Serie for all those later on... ? |

| Its gonna skip the 2nd half of the first novel and 2nd novel totally. It will show the events of the 5th floor. Apparently, from what I have heard, nothing much happens during the skipped parts so I guess its cool. |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |

Alexioos95 said: So a prequel series for SAO Progressive. That would be so confusing for the beginners. DooMWhite said: They are skipping volume 2, 3 and half of the first one.

| Ah yes, let's just skip 99% of Asuna's development, tons of other RPG explanations, many of life or death moments that changed completely how the characters act, because that's how you tell a story, whatever really, let SAO be forgotten, the Straw man arguments against SAO are never gonna die on the Western side, I just give up really. |

| Heard Progressive's much better as a whole by many so I'll take this! Thank lord they're showing the first movie in my place at least and here's to hoping this will as well in due time. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Does anyone know why Australia and New Zealand randomly are one of the first countries to have anime movies air? Violet Evergarden movie and A Silent Voice aired here in NZ like 6 months before US which I thought was weird |
| Gonna watch Progressive first before this. |
 |
| I liked SAO in general but It wasn't that great, but Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale was great! I really enjoyed watching it and I hope this movie doesn't disappoint me because I'm having high expectations. |
 |
| And keep it that way until the top floor <3 |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| Hopefully people can stop saying anything SAO is shit after the Progressive movies come out |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Let's go. Hopefully the music will be a blast too. Someday I'll get to see alice continuation in the near future as well. |
| Its expected because they plan to make it a yearly movie release. But nice to see the confirmation. Im hyped for the next floor even in its 5th floor. Because the other floors skipped are gonna be adapted anyway, we just gonna wait. Anyway im hyped for more progressive |
 |
| it's been a long day, without you my friend. |
