This is actually so hype. I loved the first season so much, the characters were, imo, so much more loveable than core Sword Art Online (◕▿◕)

YAY! A sequel I never wanted! What is with trash anime getting sequels lately? This gets another season meanwhile Grimgar can just rot.

And yes, she retain & come back with one of her debut/early role in seiyuu career, after successfully voice Makima in CSM and her resignation to voice Setsuna in LoveLive series because of her health issue.. Glad she still voice Karen/LLENN..

Wait, there's only 1 more volume left to be adapted? Will that even be enough for 10 episodes? I guess they could bring back some cut content from the first 3 volumes. But if there was only 1 more volume left to be adapted my question is why couldn’t they make this sooner.

There is 13 volumes at the moment. The first season only adapted the first 3 one for the first squad jam and the 2 the second.

This sequel will adapt at least 3 more which were the third squad jam (2) and the beta test (one). If they have more then one cour they could do the fourth squad jam 3 volumes.

I thought the post said 4 volumes for the LN. But it was for the manga. Never mind.

I feel like it's been too long nevertheless I'm excited for this

I love GGOA, I will definitely want this!
The MC is interesting.
I just hope we can get a sequel from the original series next year.

Note: my comment looks shallow but I really meant it.

Liked show so, happy it got more. Would have to rewatch though since it's been a while.

Nice to see more loli anime!!! 😭 The 1st season was solid so this is a must watch for me!

Jul 15, 2023 11:32 AM by rohan121

I don't want a spin off nor a remake ; I want a sequel to Alicization.

Jul 15, 2023 11:21 AM by ZXEAN

The first season felt a bit like filler, and had a conclusive ending. Didn't really want or expect more, but I'll probably watch it anyways.
