Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

I was shocked that the antagonist's motive wasn't to rape someone.

It was enjoyable

I'll go ahead with the good things.

Fight scenes were fuckin' on point, specifically the final one. The danger that the characters faced was pretty well developed and thought out, and the reasoning of the antagonists was solid. All of Kirito's party is useful for once. Asuna and Kirito emotional moments are really well done. Also, because I'm biased, getting more Sinon before she disappears for like 3 seasons was a very welcome experience.

Now for the parts that aren't so great.

The major threat at the end really depends on the regular people being idiots. There was a 10 minute long cringe fest at the beginning where LiSA, Tomatsu Haruka, and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu tried to get everyone all pumped up for the movie. The plot does a nice job of not breaking the feel of 'AR' when fighting AR monsters , but it makes less sense when two real people fight with AR swords. Despite every character making fun of Kirito for being out of shape and bad at AR, he magically gets into shape in about 3 hours and is pretty much on par with his virtual self.

All in all, it's fun and enjoyable to watch, but it's just like any regular anime with things you'll have to forgive and forget about.

Where I live they're screening this from March 9-12

not true eiji and the professor wanted to rape people's minds for their memories of Yuna.

I found myself looking down on my phone because of how predictable some of these conversations here, people were explaining what was going on, and it was all just way too much exposition.

Also, the characters are fucking insane. I've never watched SAO, but who the fuck makes a fairy call you mommy and daddy. That's really fucking weird, and that woman literally lost all her memory of you, but she's happy that you're putting your face in between her breasts? And people just randomly shout each other's names in the first scene in the house in VR. These characters make zero fucking sense.

Your loss. You just do not barge in the SAO-OS screening without watching seasons 1 and 2.

>>154443166
Welcome to SAO.

>>154440769
Just watched it today, Art and sound design is 10/10, story and character design was a standard 6/10 for SAO but the last battle was hype as fuck so its forgiven desu, I just wish they gave nautilus a reason to want revenge on the other players.

I like how every boss battle takes place at night to save animation budget, and for how popular this game is, only like 20 people show up max for every fight. Then that one there's 30 people it's with 10 years old CGI technology.

The music during boss battles could've been better, it sort of blended into the background.

Manga finally finished adapting the 90 page long prologue, only took 6 months

So how did they explain jumping irl like in game?

>>154443648
I'm pretty sure what is shown in the VR is different to what is happening IRL, so without the machine on you everyone just looks like a bunch of autists jumping up and down.

He blames them for getting his waifu killed.

Saw it today. Was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Pretty excited for season 3.

>>154443745
But that makes no sense, he was the person who refused to fight to get her out of Aincrad so if anything he got her killed, everybody else was trying to save her indirectly really.
He felt like kylo ren as his motivations were luke warm at best.

She died because she went on the frontlines with Klein and his guild. Had nothing to do with Eiji and his cowardice.

>>154443981
Wait really? was that in the movie or just the novel? well still though if Eiji wasn't a coward he coulda protected her on the front line.
