I had a lot more fun than I thought I would. I watched the series, though I wouldn't have said I was a big fan--I just felt like watching a weeb movie. The big budget action scenes were over the top, and exciting to watch.
>>154533130
Ordinarly I'd agree, but I enjoyed how things came together in the movie. They kept the plot mercifully concise which I appreciated. The film had its fair share of cheesy moments a la the series, but it managed to be a little bit charming.

I guess it's one of those things that's best enjoyed in a crowd. The theater I attended was more packed than I'd expected, and were pretty responsive, particularly during the hypest moments. And it was nice to be on the same page. There are numerous anime I acknowledge as objectively better, but I probably would not have been able to enjoy those as much in a group setting.

It was pretty good for sao. Great visuals and animation, and the story was actually concise and coherent.
It still had its shitty sao moments, with kirito saving the day with asspulls but that was to be expected.

Kirito goes into a coma because of the evil NSA.

The surviving Law guys try to train up a peasant army in preparation for the Chaos invasion (Chaos are led by the literal God of Darkness who is also an evil NSA agent who eats souls like rape).

They get rekt, but Kirito's harem save them with GM accounts and deebeezeee powerlevels.

NSA connect UW to the internet and get 50,000 American players to connect (it was advertized to them as a beta test for a new AO-rated VRMMO where you're allowed to slaughter anything and everything you like, with blood and guts), they mass murder UW residents and think it's hilarious.

To defeat them the main characters get 2,000 Japanese VRMMO players to connect. Despite the difference in numbers the Japanese are superior and win because Asian gamer damashii.

Then PoH (who is also an evil NSA agent) unleashes a zerg rush of Korean and Chinese gamers who were recruited by being told this is the a Korean VRMMO that's in beta test but evil Japanese hackers broke into the server, turned off pain dampening and are torturing their countrymen.

Even when some Japs who speak Korean try to explain the situation to them they don't listen because hurr japanese

The other NSA guys are surprised this works, they thought it wouldn't be worth it because they didn't think Japan is more different from Korea/China than European countries are from each other (hur)

Koreans and Chinese overwhelm Japs because this is every Jap's worst nightmare.

Kirito wakes up (thanks to the literal POWER OF LOVE from his entire harem) and wipes them all out in one attack though.

(Also PoH's motivation is that he's Korean and he hates Japanese so when he got stuck in SAO he decided to set up Laughing Coffin and have them and the clearers kill each other for shits and giggles because Nips killing each other is hilarious.)

Kirito and Asuna become gods because of x10000000 acceleration.

The AIs explore VR space with rocket dragons.

It was pretty good.

I mean, the history is understandable, the effects and animations are great, they managed to reference a LOT of characters and events frol the first two seasons, they actually develop Asuna and Kirito as a couple, Klein gets screentime, that scene with a particular swordswoman was actually surprising and very well directed.

Supposedly it's already toned down.
And tho shit posters are saying this is Japanese nationalism, it's also a fact that the Japanese government (specifically the JSDF) are ALSO the bad guys, and portrayed as such.

>>154538677
The name "Synthesis Thirty" isn't really meant to be a proper name. It's more like a designation, as she is the 30th "Integrity Knight" created through a process called the "Synthesis Ritual".

Because it turned kirito from "cool guy who's pretty good at the game" into "lmao xdddd megahacking skillz, i'm invincible and nothing bad will ever happen to me again after that one girl died just so i would have some character development lololol".
In that scene he lost all the dignity he had left as a main character and the show undeniably became a pile of horseshit.

Honestly you can can say that about just about any anime and they get better.

I mean, yeah sure you appreciate something better after seeing all the design, drawing, framing, and acting work better, but there's the matter of absorbing the characters and story concurrently

I'll concede that the movie looks sakuga as hell.

The story isnt something phenomenal by any means, even tho they did work on Kirito's personality and in his relationship with asuna, he is still a power fantasy character.

The movie gave a quick summary of what went down on SAO. You won't lose anything important besides wondering the details of how Kirito and friends exactly met up.

>>154549442
Well, they dont explain what exactly happened on Fairy Dance or Phantom Bullet.

So you might not get when certain characters from those sagas appear.
Like Sinon or Recon.
>>
>>154549541
Yeah, but the movie plot was mainly tied to SAO which what needed to be covered. Everything else is can be considered fan-service for us that have been following the series until now.

This movie reminded me why you never do a Ctrl+X when a Ctrl+C will still get the job done.

Well sure, it was a good hobby to keep her mind off things. But then it's also stated she spend a lot of time breaking down the taste system in the game to recreate complex condiments and shit, and that by the end of the game she was Max Level in cooking. Of the 11 Skill Slots she has, only 3 of them are Max level (Rapier, Light Metal Equipment, and Cooking)

I've little doubt she was spending so much time on Cooking to ease her tension, but she also probably had dick on the mind the whole time.

Nah, Kirito owes Kikouka favors (bending/breaking rules to get him in direct contact with other SAO players including Asuna, mostly).
No one actually believes Death Gun is really killing anyone, but Kikouka wants to make sure before it blows up in his face. Seeing as direct access to the game servers is out of reach, the only way Kikouka sees is to have someone very good at games go in and try to meet up with "Death Gun".
It's not really uncommon for Law Enforcement to get civilians to help with investigations anyways, and Kikouka already has a connection with Kirito, so he's really just using him because he's good at vidya, not because "he's the best they have."

Considering that it was SAO, I was actually quite impressed with it. 6.5/10

>plot
Pretty good, not flawless, but pretty good. Wasn't the same old "if you die in the game you die in real life" kind of story.

>character developement
The new characters are actually really interesting. The antagonist actually had a real motive and wasn't just some cliche psychopath. Silica and Lizabeth are still the most useless characters ever.

>action
I peed a little during the some of the fights, especially climax scene.

>soundtrack
Probably my favorite thing from the movie, already downloaded a few tracks.

>fanservice
[Yui shoots out of Leafa's tits in the final boss scene which was fucking hilarious btw]


If you watched at least the first story arc of the show and enjoyed it, even just a little bit, you will probably enjoy the movie. I went into the theatre ready to laugh at all the die-hard fans who came to be disappointed, but I ended up finding myself liking it a lot. Wasn't flawless, but it was acceptable.

Not for a few months at least. SAO's successful at the Japanese box office, so they're going to milk the fuck out of it as long as possible there.

On the plus side, that it's getting a quick dub for showing in US theaters improves the odds that US BDs will be out sooner rather than later.

>>
>>154563986
That summary really fudges a lot of things. The novel portrays the non-Japanese people as just clueless (though zealous) players getting involved because of the bad-guy's keikaku.
Meanwhile the government agencies of both the US and Japan (specifically NSA and JSDF) are corrupt bad guys in their own way. The NSA sends mercenaries to retrieve advance AI tech to maintain military superiority, while the JSDF effectively sells out its own people because of political differences.
The whole "Japanese vs Everyone else" battle is also pretty much orchestrated by the bad guys in such a way that neither side can really come to an understanding.

It's really strange. It comes off as "Anti-Foreigner" in some ways, but also is NOT very "Pro-Japan".
If I had to pin a political alignment to it, it seems a lot more like "Anti-Government".
After all, throughout the novels, Kawahara has subtly made this "Future Japan" into something of an Orwellian nightmare in the making, with cameras at every block that can recognize your face, and the government pressuring people into buying electronic locks that they have a master-key for (the plot of the Death Gun arc being that the bad guys use one of these Master Keys to break into people's houses)
>>
I think something that can be agreed on is that SAO the movie was an AWESOME theater experience. The room shooked from the action scenes. The visual and the action was very stunning and I was getting really worked up and sweaty from the action scenes.

Even though I did not watch SAO II or was that much into the series, the movie was very enjoyable. Luckily this movie had a pretty wide release so I watched it in a Regal theater. If you /a/nons were on the fence of watching this, please treat yourself and go to the movie theater because Anime movies don't come to the US often. Hopefully more will come and we will have another Anime boom

SAO and Accel World are basically a cyber punk distopia in the making. About the only element that hasn't come up in some form is corporations openly surpassing governments in power.

When Klein showed up in the final boss fight, I was actually very hyped. Awesome climax. The first season is a 3 for me, with the second being a 4. This on the other hand, was quite fun to watch. Was thinking 6, but the climax made it a 7. Kirito overtaking Sora and Shiro at the end was sorta bullshit though.

There's also the fact that the JSDF is committing human rights violations on such a gross massive scale pretty much nothing the American black ops team does can compare.

It's funny because half of the American agents are comically evil textbook sociopaths but if you look at the larger picture they're still doing more good invading the JDSF's facilities and shutting down their experiments.

So I heard the plot of the movie involves recreating a person, by using other people's memories of that person.
Basically the same concept is reused in Alicization, and apparently also Accel World.

Kirito is basically brain dead, with his personality and ego being fried due to a lot of weird fuckery. To "revive" him, they decide to recreate his ego using the memories of the people closest to him.
The resulting person would not be "Kirito", but a person who has Kirito's memories, and who behaves in a highly idealized manner according to those that know him.

For all intents and purposes, Kirito is dead, and what replaced him was a convincing copy with even more willpower, because that's how everyone sees him.

My headcanon is that Blank from NGNL was in the #1 spot, but because of their social awkwardness, they wouldn't go to the event with the idol, and so they for the first time had their rank taken by Kirito god-sama. They then gave up on the game and went back to ordinary gaming where they wouldn't have to leave their home, before getting sent to Tet's world.
