There are people who even think SAO should be a series of movies like what Kara no Kyoukai did. Every format (TV, OVA or movies) seems suitable for SAO's unique plot structure. My previous post was my speculation based solely on TV anime format but now I think my new speculation (actually what I hoped for) might be a variety of three formats:
TV anime 2 or 3-cour for first six volumes (SAO, ALO and GGO) and "Murder Case in the Inner Area" in Vol. 8 (I still think the first six volumes can be covered in TV anime if the side stories can be arranged chronologically into Vol. 1 episodes).
OVA for side stories "The First Day" and "Caliber"
Alternative: If the producer thinks they cannot fit Vol. 2 side stories into Vol. 1 episodes, OVA might be the better choice.
Movie for Vol.7 "Mother Rosario" (The story seems fit for anime movies)
TV anime 3 or 4-cour (may be split into two to four seasons) for Alicization arc (no doubt about it given the length of Alicization arc).
However, it is up to the anime producers to decide. I wouldn't mind if it's OVA all the way or a series of movies just like Kara no Kyoukai or whatever combination as long as they can present the story properly. |
If 1 course, I think they they will make it in timeline order, check the timeline on bakatsuki, I believe they can fill 12 - 13 with the SAO arc + SAO side story. I think it will be mostly likely the case as volume 9 will begin the lastest arc on the web which will span around 7 - 10 volumes according to the rumor
. Volume 3 and 4 could fit into a movie which serve as a conclusion.
The poster on the website look really good, Asuna look abit off compare to the novel or they just make Kirito so freaking good, like an exact duplicate of the novel design.
Anybody know
