| Sachi, my fav and otp with Kirito... :/ Don't really see how Keiko looks similar to Suguha, Kirito is weird... I really like Liz x Kirito as well, I liked Asuna x Kirito a lot in the first season but it became somewhat boring in the 2nd half. Suguha sure has it rough, you can really feel for her. Now that I see it, she admirable and strong. On a 2nd go-through, I think ALO wasn't as bad as we make it seem. Just that Asuna was pretty much in the same place, and stopped being an epic protagonist she once was. Suguha's fear of water felt natural and wasn't overdramatic. A whale, good for Yui. I really enjoyed it, it was great. Nice ending song too. 9/10 |

It's Kikuoka Seijirou, the man who interviewed Kirito during this special. If you can explain, please explain why he called him, didn't he interview him and left it at that, or is he an important character later on? |

| Super excited! |
| Yui wants to see a whale...basically that was it. But hey let's do 3/4 of the movie as a recap with bikini and swimsuits to spice things up and a glimpse of New Aincrad from afar. Kikuoka's calling again in the post credits scene, I wonder what complications and problems he wants to talk about now... XD Anyway t'was OK by me. 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

| 3/5 If you've already seen Sword Art Online, you do not need this special period of a movie, if you start to learn SAO, there will "probably" useful. Animated well, is enjoyable little and only at the end of the anime series for connoisseurs. Drawings not great, I was expecting more, but I found the same people the same way you do and even if Asuna revised version in blue hair I was a little surprised, I noticed that the style of his clothes and how to Kirito, which is always the same, what a shame! Ah, well cut ... D: Publicity stunt, that will not have me among his supporters, do not buy you this special, it's almost useless, only if I give almost take it! I hope that the second season is long better view of this stuff so far! ^ ^ " |
 |
| Glad they released this special. The story was being told in multiple different views which was very interesting, especially with the girls. I had no idea that Asuna had a crush on Kirito from the moment they met which made it really interesting. Also, the last 20 minutes of the show was better than I was expecting. I was watching how much is left and saw that there was 20 minutes left getting worried about whether they'll even do the new footage or not but I was glad that it was put in, although it would have been awesome if the new footage were longer. |
| Well fuck the recap can actually refute many "plotholes" easier than the tv version could... ----------------------- Read the scene Agil... Poor Klein. Lots of elements from the Excaliber/Caliber arc. Well I thought that it would be mostly fanservice, and while it did have enough of it, the -small- quest made up for it.Still focusing on the girls' breasts for no reason bugs me a bit.Good as a recap. Nice lead up to GGO at the end.. My only real complain is that Kikuoka doesnt look like Kikuoka.Dont know if it is the voice or mannerisms. |
| Wow watching this really remind me of how bland SAO characters really are. Suguha is the only one who's a tiny bit interesting. The battles seem so boring and one-dimensional especially after watching how intricate the battles in Log Horizon were. God save the 2nd season. Hopefully the plot is strong enough to mask the flaws. |

| Lots of part is waste of time but I missed so much. It's just so cute to see Asuna wearing a bikini.Also, others are good.I think the most enjoyable part was Klein when he wants to see girls in bikini in the quest but he realised no one does this. Klein and his expression xD At the end of part , I'm happy to see Yui finally saw a whale in her own world. I enjoyed to see Sao again and can't wait for the 2nd season :) |
 |
| Almost 2 hours of mostly recaps. Wow... |
 |
Huge_Ego said: Nice, re-established my love for anime. This did? I hope you'll rot in hell for that. |
 |
| Not bad for a recap, but I still feel like I should of just skipped to last 25 mins of the episode :\ |
| Ok, so question about the songs... MAL states that the ED for this is ""Yume Sekai (ユメセカイ)" by Eir Aoi", but in reality the song that plays at the end is the OP (which also plays at the start), ""Niji no Oto (虹の音)" by Eir Aoi", so I guess this is just a fault on the MAL page? Aoi didn't sing any song like that during the entire thing? |
| Some recap`s were nice and some good feels to the extra and the quest from the ocean was also nice it feels good again to watch SAO can`t wait for GGO :) |
 |
| wooouuaahh!! suguha!! <3 really miss her.. XD seems like she has "level up"! XD hmm ... its true.. some recap with new quest.. :3 a bit boring but okay I guess.. make me can watch SAO again :3 really miss this show! XD yeah season 2 is on the way.. looking forward with it! XD damn its gonna be awesome Phantom Bullet.. Shion.. yeah.. its gonna be really great.. and the whale hoho.. yui look really happy :3 seijurou kikouka.. why he record it I wonder.. and whats with the end.. I wonder why he calling kirito :3 HMMM!! CANT WAIT SECOND SEASON! XD |
| i managed to watch the extra edition last night and wow that was longer than i thought .__. still, was a pretty good summary of the anime. haha i liked the sea invaders mission :-) |
| So it's basically a recap of SAO's episode 1 - 25 and a little underwater adventure... Seems nice. And TBH, I was shocked, about sugu's breast, what a huge knockers hahaha. Reminiscing about that ALO, when kirito found out that sugu was leafa, hahaha Dat forbidden love. Oh well, gotta wait for SAO 2... |
| Skipped all the recaps, honestly it wasn't quite needed. Nothing amazing in the underwater dungeon either. 3/5 |

| Disgusting. A whole special about recaps we already saw, mizugi-fanservice scenes just to increase the sales and the dungeon was with power-up but watchable. 4/10. I feel like I wasted my time and now I want it back. I'm becoming masochist? It might be so. Utterly horrible, I don't know how can people enjoy this. |
 |
| Waste of time indeed. |
| Sigh. As usual, too much fanservice. SAO, please, spare me the close-ups of Suguha's chest. Anyways, for a recap, it wasn't bad at all. It was pretty engaging, really, and refreshed me on the story so far. For everyone who's complaining that the movie was a waste of time, you should have realized that it was a recap from the start. I think they presented it very nicely, with new material spliced in and hints for season 2. I assume the very end was a slight teaser for season 2, and I find myself slightly interested. But only mildly more interested than before, lol. For me, personally, the only thing SAO has going for it is the KiritoxAsuna romance. It's just...special, and I'm not sure why. It seems so pure and unwavering, maybe because of their commitment and marriage and whatnot. But I just can't stand all the fanservice, and the "meh" story. I will admit it has some pretty cool action scenes. It was fun to reminisce on those in the recap. I liked the original material. It was cool seeing how a usual quest plays out in the game. I was fangirling a bit - man, I would die to play an MMORPG like that. <3 Can't wait for virtual reality games! Overall, 7/10. |

| Well there's hardly a more fitting word than horrible for this. |
 |
| i feel like suguha's character is just boobs and love for kirito. it was nice seeing good old recaps of first season 5/10 for me. |

| Glorified recap. Waste of time. The last 20 minutes or so was at least mildly entertaining. |
| This was basically a recap with Suguha learning to swim. Though the part with the underwater quest at the end was fun. |
 |
| Well it's about as stellar as any recap episode is going to be. Underwater dungeon was okay, fan service was surprisingly annoying; I realise I'm gonna have to put up with that in the second season too. |
 |
| Wow, that's one long recap. I hope they don't screw up GGO. |
| Recap Im sad |
 |
| I only hope that Suguha and Kirito left some important details out in their respective reports, otherwise some relationships might be a bit weird in SAO 2. Overall it was okay. It was one of the better ways to do a recap, we got some new stuff with Suguha learning to swim, and of course the dungeon at the end. The fanservice..well, sure there as quite a bit, but it was a pool/beach "episode", and they used Suhuga's boobs quite a bit in SAO itself, so it was no surprise. And they actually used their gear for the dungeon. They could have gone there with their swimsuits, just as Klein had hoped.. |
| Awesome.... my beautiful memories when i watched this series back then... The only part i hate is when sugou tried to rape asuna.... shit i want to kill him by myself, and slit his neck... fuck!!!! Asuna was so beautiful there, liz tried to did some tsukkomi and poor silica with her chest, sasuga sugu no oppai! Cant wait for SAO2 |
     |
| Puh to think I would have to sit through 70 mins of old materials with new ones on and off Luckily it has been a while, since I've seen SAO so it wasn't such a drag The new quest at the end and fanservice before kept me interested It's a nice warm up to a new season |
| During recap I realized how fun was those first 13 episode and how awful was those latter 13 ones. The second part of this movie was ok, nothing special (though they managed to do one of today'sl MMO typical quest), but those underwater adventures made me want to play Guild Wars 2 again :D |
| well it was fine... |
 |
| I loved that suguha was still a main focus in the recap and didnt become a bg char! Looks like shes grown taller as well and err more well developed. My favorite character! |
| DAMM I LOVE IT!! even that i hate to watch something twice i still enjoyed it :) and they made arc 2 to look really good (lol :P) really like the move/recap and i hope for more sao :) 9/10 |
| i got no gif for my signature..... imagine some cool swords clashing and light and fighting everywhere! |
| Looks like Suguha still has lingering feelings. Interesting if the next season will address them or not. Speaking of next season, incoming call. Screams something is going down. Great special glad to see the Sword Art Online gang again. They even got to ride a whale! Finally, dat ending music :D |
 |
| looking forward to season 2 |
| Undine Asuna... *drools... XD |
| Lol sexual harassment xP Oh, Suguha, you poor soul. But Yui will always be my favorite! |

| Disappointing to be honest. Why do MAL'ers give a 7.5 to something that is essentially a recap with a bit of fanservice on top? Still looking forward to season 2 though. |

| Not a half-bad recap/summary of the series. A good way to review before season 2. Kraken! (I'm glad they didn't do stupid things with those tentacles...) |
  |
| I liked the episode overall because it's been a while since I've seen the show. It pretty much brought it back in 1h20 and the last 20 minutes were original content. 9/10! |
| Recap. Ugh. Though, it wasn't a bad recap, I liked the way it was told. For exemple, event/scene that were more personnal and/or emotionnal were told by the girl group while what was more about the general plot was told by Kirito. I found it hilarious that when Kirito asked him why didn't they investigate on Sugo from the beginning, he just laughed. Seriously? There's like 300 people that got tortured mentally and a girl that got virtually raped, which must stay traumitizing, and you find a way to laugh? ... The second part, the underwater story, was cute, but a bland. I mean, it was pretty stupid in itself, but you know, it's a special, so the story isn't supposed to be the most important thing. Asuna with a new look was pretty cool. Dammit Sugu, the first attack you try to make underwater almost kill you! xD Klein was funny. Everyone love bikinis and swimsuit. Though, Suguha in a school swimsuit. Hnnnng, my school swimsuit fantasy have been fulfilled :P |

| Don't waste your time. Skip the summary if you were looking for new content, but don't expect the new content to be any good. It's just a money grab. 3/10 Just wait for the second season. |
