Yui doesn't really count I guess

Kirito couldn't give less of a shit about Asuna, in every chapter that they're together, post-Aincrad

sure he saves her a ton

but when they're both just together... he seems like he'd rather be anywhere but there

he gets to live as a trap in GGO so now he's just confused

tbh, I hope the end game is Kirito merging all the girls souls together

Asuna, Alice, Sinon, Sugu, etc.

he replicates his arclight and marries each of them with separate clones

Hell, even through LLENN and gang into the mix

I think that's more likely

appak

but I hope it goes the soul merging route

mostly because I think thematically, it works better

what even is his arc at this point?

there's no end to end at

honestly, I think Alicization is really good

and I think you have to read into what the fuck Kirito even wants at this point

he didn't even react to realizing he was trapped in yet another video game

in the small bits that are pre-Rising

it's clear he isn't happy in the real world, anime doesn't really portray it well

not even that he misses his video game powers

just that the world is too "mudane", nothing excites him

even though that's BS

so a happy ending for him is getting trapped in a world and his real body dying

as there's an international war he's literally in the middle of an arms race

yeah isn't this arc US vs gamers?

gee Leg, if only there was someone who that had already happened to

the concept of "the seed" is also never really re-explained well at the start of aliceization

whether or not all the fluctlight soul crap, is built on top of this core, like all the other VRMMOs were

Alicization tied in the movie randomly so i doubt that is the biggest thing they forgot to explain

The movie is a dumb, full stop

the movie is awful

every concept is illogical and impossible

including Asuna's nipple

lol

I know I'll be let down by SAO in the end

but I'm so impressed by where it's come

from decent contest LN, to fanfiction, to sprawling high-concept 30 volume series

it was a contest submission?

really, it is the urealms live of anime if you think about it

so the good part

that was disqualified for being too long or something iirc

so the authour just wrote WN tier fanfiction for a while

until it got picked up officially

The final episode is a slide show animation that fans get to make live donations to influence the ending

lol

kirito starts wearing a flowercrown, and the last arc ends with him fully transitioning

when is Progressive getting an anime with all new VAs?

So, I'll look at numbers again after the end of all the Alicization cours

but I think it's doing pretty well

they'll adapt the final arc "Anal Ring"

its by far the best SAO anime we've gotten so I hope so

and then Progressive

No idea where GGO stands

I kind of think it'll get a movie

and go from there

isn't there a side story arc of a couple volumes before UR?

Not in English yet

so no idea

final Alice novel comes out in a month

then the side story arc in 1? volume

then Anal Ring

the TL finished Alice, and then stopped

so it's the wait for official books now

is UR finished in Japanese?

no

Max was posting art from the volume out 2 days ago

there are rough spoilers out

but the eng TL will be out in Feb/Mar more than likely

the last and greatest show premiers tomorrow

the school shooting club rises

Rifle is a cute show

thats one i was gonna watch this season

this season seems p shit

yep sadly

azur lane is a fantastic shitpost to drink to and the rifle one looked cute but thats about it for new shows that i saw

Jet Girls is in the same camp as Azur Lane for me
