Sword Art Online the Movie

Going to the 8:00 p.m. showing tomorrow. Only really decided to go since it was playing in my town and I wouldn't have to drive out to the city.

>>154363300

At least you guys don't have retarded blame pushing distributors like Odex.

Kill yourself normalfags.

>>154363763

>>154363300
It releases next week for me I'll go watch it

>>154363763
It's okay to enjoy watching SAO, you just have to know that it's shit while you watch it.

I almost never go to movies anymore, and it gives me an excuse to get out of the house and enjoy myself for once.

I just hope the theater won't be filled with primarily small children or teens who can't keep their mouths shut.

>>154363300
is it subbed or dubbed ?

>>154366783
Anime in theaters is always dubbed. Only certain niche foreign films are ever shown subbed, and those are usually indicated in the cinema's description.

>>154366859
SAO is subbed. There isn't even a dub cast yet for the movie.

>>154366783
Subbed.

>>154366859
If you think an English dub can come out this early, you're delusional.

>>154365454
If SAO wins an award for anything ever I'll be fucking furious

>>154367444
Pretty sure SAO has won multiple awards in Japan.

I'm really tempted to see it just because non-Ghibli anime movies just never come to my city

I fucking hate SAO though

>>154367495
jap awards don't count

The first cour should have been 20 episodes, and had 6 more episodes about them clearing the floors, then ended with the same shit as episode 14, but under different circumstances, and there should have been no second cour. Would have been an 8/10 if they did that.

>>154367629
Let me guess, it doesn't count unless it's in a country where "simplified english" is a thing?

>>154366953
>>154367202
They actually used this movie's premiere in LA to announce they are dubbing it funnily enough.

I'm ready to see some cosplayers in my theater and cringe my way through.

>>154363300
I already went and saw it in cinemas today. I'm an ausfag so even though we have the same release date we got it half a day before you guys did.

It was ok.

kirito is a pussy ass bitch

Me and 3 friends seeing it on the weekend, i didn't finish season 2 but i enjoyed season 1 back in the day, though i had a large hiatus between then and now.

I'm bringing my date to the SAO movie

Pirate and laugh at SAO all you want, but the only people who win by you buying a ticket for the movie is the people who make this trash and the genuine fans.

Go and spend your time/money on something that you enjoy or get something out of instead of paying and watching this movie "ironically". You are just like the people who try to justify why they watch broadcasted garbage reality tv.

>>154371952
What if I actually like SAO and wanna watch it?

Watched it a few hours ago in Sydney. It was quite enjoyable. The fight scenes were loud as fuck though and I guess learning Kendo via a tablet makes you OP IRL.

>>154371974
The post is aimed at the people who don't like it, but still pay for the movie. Sword Art Online is bad, but it's non offensive bad. I can understand people 16 or under liking it, but if you really like it then watch it. It's just that there are a lot of far better stuff out there.

>>154372009
>I guess learning Kendo via a tablet
Didn't Kirito's grandpa force him to learn Kendo when he was younger? His sister is also apparently able to join national tournaments or something, IIRC.

Just wanted to point out that "Suguha" sounds like the word for "sow" or female pig where I come form.

>>154372009
It was loud as fuck in adelaide too, thought it was just a shit cinema

The last min of the credits had some new images + there was an after credits scene so don't trip over in the dark trying to rush out when the credits start rolling.

This shit got a movie? God damn it, why did the most boring, bland as shit anime franchise have to become one of the most popular of all time. SAO does not deserve a movie, it barely deserves an hour long OVA. The characters have no personality outside of "I want to suck Kirito's dick", there's never been an interesting story or character arc, and the concept of having to actually live in a video game has been wasted by terrible writing and bullshit escapist fantasies. SAO's only saving graces have been its animation and production value, but it still barely scrapes by as a 5/10 average piece of crap. I seriously can't fathom how this show got so popular outside of inbreds who think "derr, kirito an cool in vidja, and I play vidja, so I an cool."

Anime was a mistake.

If I do put up a serious argument, 9 times out of 10 my response has always been ">defending sao, lol"
I've long since given up on repeating myself every time a detractor starts spouting nonesense.
I accept that hating SAO is currently the "cool thing to do" within the English speaking anime community.

But it doesn't matter; whether you want to call SAO "boring" or "bland", "shit" and "terrible", it doesn't change the fact that SAO is currently more popular than your favorite animu, and will continue to get anime for so long as Kadokawa can milk it. This film's success and popularity only further cements this fact, and flies in the face of detractors who wish to pretend "SAO is dead and irrelevant", just because some guy on YouTube can rave for 2 hours.

So I repeat: Stay Mad.

>>154372782
Your "opinion" is strictly subjective thus it does not require any arguments to disprove.

Both of you need to seriously calm the fuck down. You're not going to accomplishing anything by bickering and bitching about a soviet flip-book. Either go see it or don't. It's your life and your price of admission.

>>154372969
I more so hate SAO's popularity than the actual anime itself. Like I said, I think it's a 5/10, ok but nothing special. It suffers from poor writing, but the visuals and production help make up for this. That's why I don't think it deserves a movie or even the following it's gathered. I never made the claim that SAO is "dead and irrelevant" as you seem to think I did. That said, you are right that it will most likely stay popular until the next huge fad comes along to eat up the less die hard fans of the show.

Also, I'm not hating on SAO because it's "cool." I've watched enough of it to know that it's not for me, and that I think it's pretty boring. Your post still hasn't addressed any of the points I brought up, or why you personally enjoy the show (if you do at all.)

>>154372992
Of course my opinion is subjective, it's a fucking opinion, not a fact. You can still argue with someone over opinions, you just won't come to a definite conclusion.

>>154373224
So you can't actually elucidate anything wrong with it, you just don't like an anime being popular?

Ok then. Sasuga /a/.

>>154366859
Anon, they're currently working on the dub at this moment. The movie is subbed.

>>154373224
It gets a movie because it sells. Stop being a hipster fag who hates something just because it's popular.

>>154374487
I literally said I don't like SAO because I think it's poorly written and boring. I was clearing up the fact that my post was more an attack on the popularity of the show than the show itself. Please try and construct an actual point next time you respond to someone.

>>154363300
I don't like SAO but the designs from this movie look really good

>>154367506
It's like half-good, I'd warrant it a movie watch.

>>154374638
To be honest it's popularity depends on if you can overlook some of it flaws or not. People who can't overlook it will of course keep complaining about it. People who can will enjoy the show regardless, but would like if some things would be better executed.

Of course you have fanboys who think SAO doesn't do anything wrong and perfect, but I disagree with them on that opinion. Just like how I disagree with the hate fandom for this series that would like to shove down how much they hate this series up everyone throat regardless if they accept the series flaws or not.

>>154374983
Oh shit, a reply that isn't "lel u just mad cus soa is popular"

Anyway, I pretty much agree completely. Most people can overlook the bad stuff if it looks cool, and SAO legitimately nails the cool stuff most of the time. Hell, cool > logic is the reason JoJo is so popular, and god knows I love JoJo.

Also, yeah, people who go out of their way to let people know they hate something are pretty awful, and my original post was extremely vitriolic. I just haven't been able to express my opinions to anyone recently, so it all just kind of came spewing out.

Thanks for making a post that actually brings up a good point.

I saw a movie. It was very good.

>>154376122
nice shilling bro, how much did japan pay you to make that post?

I'd say the movie is worth watching for anyone who's seen both seasons of the show. You don't have to be a SAO superfan to enjoy the movie, if you can find the franchise to be reasonably entertaining then the movie will satisfy. The action scenes are pretty much the highlight of the movie and are the best of the franchise so far. It's amazing how SAO continues to attract top action animation talent.

>>154376500
It's just nine bucks.

>>154376657
how much is that in japaroons? %10000000?

>>154376638
This. The plot holes are everywhere but you're already used to that. It's a pretty movie and has really cool effects and action sequences (the AR transformation of the city always got me, even if it reused the opening shot every time)
You'll also like the movie if you like Asuna, she gets plenty of screentime.

the actual plot is hot garbage though

That was unironically amazing. I used to watch SAO to laugh at how bad it was but I was blown away by this. Kawahara has improved so much as a scenario writer that it's unbelievable.

I have to give it up for the movie. I went in with low expectations, but it was really fucking good.

The final battle was 10/10. I want to rewatch it so bad.

West coast best coast reporting in

I just watched it. It was great. I'm actually a fan of SAO unironically but i was on the fence if i wanted to spend money and drive 40 minutes to see it. No regrets. The movie didn't try to be anything its not, it was surprisingly well paced, and none of the characters seemed off.

If you even remotely liked the anime its worth going to see.

>>154366656
At least in my area, the demographic was split between middle aged (obese) people and teens. No one made any noise outside of the very start when the cringey voice actors tried to rile the audience.

Anyone get any Macross Plus vibes from it?

okay so i like sao..Somewhat unironicly, As in i acknowledge it's shit and love how stupid it is.

Tis movie was every thing i love about SAO in that aspect, So over the top, So stupid, Full of fanservice, I was probably the biggest asshole in the theater because i couldn't stop laughing for a second.

If you like SAO for being stupid it's fucking god teir.

I just got back from the the movie...it was great, the fights were awesome sound was nice but the thing is...

I felt like shit being there. Just watching the movie made me feel like shit as confirming. Not only did I go alone and had no one to share the experience but just watching kirito and his friends made me feel even worse. That took away from my enjoyment and made me feel how shitty my life is. I hate when I get feelings like this watching anime.

https://youtu.be/r18C28AXEQo?t=92

just came back from Boston screening. Personally, I really enjoyed it. Dat big-budget final battle. Who here stuck around for the post credits scene?

SAO will return

The fights were great, especially the last boss. Music was great. The story felt passable to me. The character interactions were nice.Overall I liked it.

There must have been a problem with my theaters disc because it kept freezing or skipping audio abruptly.

How were the subs?

i had no problem with them, Presented like crunchyroll in my theater.

It was nice to see that the girls were not interested on Kirito anymore.

Kawahara is really improving his writing.

If you haven't seen it, there's a Vocaloid-type AI that is like Sharon Apple but her intentions are entirely different. I drew the comparison because it's mainly due to the fact that there was an AI, and she was misleading people and causing delusions.

Same here man I am still shocked how good an original SAO movie was

So if SAO is the alleged Twilight of anime, what are the Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings/Hobbit saga of anime?

LOtR is probably Fate
Harry potter would be Mahouka

I'll agree with the other anon and say Fate, but LoTR is on a tier of its own.

went to see SAO Ordinal Scale movie with sibling this evening.
cool sfx and some great fights especially towards the end. some predictable and typical bad guy characters and plotlines, even a character named..Eiji.
also a lame audience ruins a quiet touching moment with expectedly lame reddit tier nerd jokes, which were also going on waiting for movie to start.
overall, movie was neat. sibling and i decided sperglords of any amount aren't worth another trip though.

>>154399616
Me too, dude. I wasn't expecting...the rain....

>>154399786
In all honesty, Naruto is the closest comparison, disregarding any issues of quality between them that you may see.

Second half was nice but Sunrise really dropped the ball with the recap. Imagine if they didnt jew out, we could have gotten an Accel World movie with the Ordinal Scale treatment.

Eh, six hours is probably too much for something that will be on blu-ray in a couple of months.

>>154400305
My audience didn't laugh or make jokes, thankfully for them, or I would have probably hurt them. They did laugh at things like when the camera zoomed in on Asuna's tits, but blatent pandering like that is kinda funny.

There was this tumblrite sitting next to me, but thankfully she was mostly quiet, aside from insulting me when I said that cosplayers should have the body type of the character they're playing as.

The Yuuki tribute was quite touching.

>>154400926

Did they give out any freebies like posters and shit?

>>154401087
Nope, sadly.

>>154400215
fuck sunrise

they could have had a bigger and better franchise and they threw it away.

>>154400926
He was a try-hard scrub who couldn't cope with the fear of being killed and froze up in the face of any real danger. Leaving him a fairly useless hanger on who couldn't fight a boss, or even protect anyone.

>>154401087
>>154401147
I was kinda disappointed they didn't give out anything special, since this was marketed as an event. But still, the movie was well worth the $15.

>>154401252
Haven't seen the movie but I'm inclined to believe that they actually put effort in it. You just like hating SAO for the sake of it.

>>154401309
Did they explain how the original Yuna died in the game?

Can't wait for alicization.

>>154401330
Is she getting raped?

>>154401309
That seems kinda silly since in order to grind up to the level for end-game raiding, you need to have ground a lot of bleeding-edge content.

>>154374536
Something about this reminds me of ufotable. The lighting or colors, I don't know.

>>154401355
No but I am going to guess that it was something where she wanted to venture out her and Eiji got way in over their heads and Eiji froze up right before she was killed yet some how got away by the skin of his teeth

Just got back from the theater. All I can say is the movie was pretty damn great especially the last boss sequences. Also the moment where Yuuki showed up in the end was a nice addition, and it made lol at Kirito diving into Asuna's bosom, the absolute madman.

I fucking hate the people in the theater, holy shit, cringe as fuck. Kinda I wish I didn't go there.

>>154401637

Thank you Master Roshi

Too bad I couldn't follow the first half of the movie at all because of the noise, and it's kind of not fair to the theater to demand a refund for the bullshit a viewer pulls. At least the last half hour was good.

season 3 confirmed!!!!

>>154402276
In the NYC screening I went too it focus on the shampoo.

>>154402002
They had the VA ask for cheering multiple times so I don't understand how the Alamo would work with that anyway

>>154402177
Me because no one was starting to so I could get the rest of the theatre to do the embarrassing act

>>154402276
All did I see was the shampoo frames and nothing more. it would probably be fixed in the BD rip?

>>154402177
Nah, the other scenes that got massive cheering were when Eugene and the others arrived to help, Kirito and co. getting their original outfits back. Asuna doing the 11-hit combo also generated a big reaction.

Just saw it down here in south texas. It was great, the crowd was lively and clapped harder than for any other movie I've ever been in.

The movie itself was pretty good, I didn't hate it and I didn't think it was totally retarded, so that's pretty good if I say so myself.

>>154402430
They packed theaters for this one so it may be a sign of more to come

It's not that difficult to safely grind up to meeting the basic requirements to join a frontline guild. It's impossible to truly safely fight a boss, or be the first person to take on new content, which is what they really needed. Eiji thought he was good, then choked once he actually reached the front lines.

Why didn't everyone just take off their AUGMA during the concert massacre? I mean surely there's at least one reasonable person who did so, and helped others take theirs off?

>>154404389
Because they thought boss raids are fun.

The problem is half of the academy voters work for Disney and the other half don't give a shit about animated films, they vote based on what their kids liked (the disney film)

Fuck this game.

>>154404411
Can't argue with that, boss raids are fun as shit.

>>154404294
And nothing of value was lost.

I hope he at least got a student discount.
I enjoyed the movie but I wouldn't have liked paying $18. $14 felt like a good price though.

>>154404389
Either they're too busy having panic attacks from PTSD for rational thought, or while they are terrified by the bosses, their rational mind are telling them that the Augma is safe, nothing bad can actually happen to them, and killing one of the boss monsters gives good bonuses, so they keep fighting despite the terror.

>shilling for the SAO movie and the people in this thread don't even realize it

Who the fuck signed off on the manufacturing order of what was basically a clone of the nervegear after everything that's happened?

>>154404745
The Augma itself wasn't dangerous. It was the drones used to """offload""" server strain the amped the power of the Augma to Nervegear levels wirelessly. The Amusphere also uses microwaves incase that wasn't clear.

>>154404787
I really don't see how a device capable of, by itself, inducing a current through the brain large enough to alter memories isn't dangerous

>yfw he didn't motorboat

>>154404865
That functionality is only available with the drones assistance. Nobody put 2+2 together. The Augma by itself is a perfectly safe device

>>154404619
$13 for me

>>154404745
Let's be real, if SAO followed any sort of logic then VRMMOs would have been banned after SAO let alone after ALO or Gun Gale. At this point you just gotta accept that it makes no sense.

Come back from the movie, I love the fact people in my theater cheer cause Kirito get laid not about animation. Animation was shit though and my theater put on fucking 720p so it's almost unwatchable

>yfw Kirito and Asuna were about to kiss, Yui interrupted and said, "Ah! A shooting star!"
I saw it from miles away, but still a cockblock nonetheless.

>>154404619
I paid $15 but it became free because the shitty ass theater showed the first 15 minutes muted and had to restart the thing.

>>154404652
I will never believe people actually go and shill in a particular thread on the anime cohort of a philipino spindle-craft forum so that two extra anon will buy a ticket for a movie not showing anymore

>>154404745
And don't forget the guy involved in the development was the mentor for the two scumbags who created SAO and ALO respectively.

I swear I want to take SAO seriously but the fact it's a game and villain relate to kayaba dude from ss1 just made me can't take this shit seriously

>>154404890
That does make more sense that it can only alter memories when there's drone assistance, but what does that sort of 'read-write' functionality (as opposed to just 'read') have to do with its everyday operation? I couldn't tell if they were actually feeling pain when playing the game.

>>154404924
You're right. I got to watch Asuna get railed, so this is really just picking at the movie for its own sake.

>>154405055
There is no read/write. There's only read. The issue was reading the data damaged it. And the pain they felt outside of the monster attacks was absolutely real

>>154404389

Because who doesn't want to fucking die in fantasy battle?

any anons from Las Vegas?

AMC Theater 18 (Town Square) will still show this on March 10 and 11 (Friday and Saturday)

Now this is smart and it only guarantees more ticket sales!

So is this shit worth 21 dollarydoos?

>>154405297
I only paid $18

>>154405105
Eiji, apparently.

>>154405297
i paid $15, but worth with big crowd. casual stuff require casual watcher

>>154404031
That's like a pack of ciggys for me m8.

whatever poorfag.

Silica is for _______.

Half the fun of SAO threads is the people who are angry that people have fun with SAO.

I went to go see it earlier. The plot made no sense and everyone laughed at the dumbest shit.

Like why didn't that guy extract his own memories of his own daughter? Surely he must have much more extensive memories than some randos that met her in a video game breifly.

Also why can't they copy the memories instead of remove them?

>>154405567
see

You meant Date or Grind: the game?

So now the rest of the world finally watched the movie, how were they supposed to beat the final boss in the original SAO (if this wasn't some kind of template before Heathcliff/Kayaba decided it would be him), I mean even with all the original SAO skills it wouldn't have been possible right? And would Heathliff have revealed his true identity right after the fight?
