Is Sword online getting a complete anime reboot? So what's up guys Fox en
here! A few weeks ago some questionable websites and even some places here on
YouTube start making this claim that an SAO anime reboot was not only possible
but very likely coming. Specifically this is talking about the SAO progressive
novels. Whether you're a hardcore or casual Sao fan you actually may not have heard
about these for a certain reason I'll get to that in a bit.
As for this video I am still constantly getting asked about this so here's a
full video on the topic. But anyway to start off what are these SAO progressive
novels? They're pretty much the SAO author Reki going back and fleshing out
that story floor-by-floor. There were a lot of complaints about SAO skipping
floors in season 1 so this could give you the juicy details of what Asuna
and Kirito we're doing. Unfortunately there's actual problems to this
unrelated to the story itself. Before that the rumors came up about a possible
new anime reboot for these new novels. Going floor by floor you could
realistically see this becoming an anime with 100 episodes or more. SAO
already prints money for the A1 studio so this would be a crazy wet dream come
true. Key word being dream. I actually saw this being spread around last month but
I instantly thought whoa that's obviously fake. No one is gonna fall for
that and my god I was dead wrong. The actual meet for this rumor came from an
important announcement for the progressive series at the end of
February. This was from some shady places started the rumors about an anime
announcement coming. Of course that didn't happen but what was actual
announcement? It turns out that really the only thing they mentioned was the
change of artists for the manga. So yeah not even close to some anime reboot. So
if you see anyone asking about a possible anime reboot point them to this
video. Anyway you must be seeing why this mode of complete BS. Right now there is a
new SAO GGO spin-off a month away then you got the A1 studio working on SAO
Season 3 for the next two years. This alone makes the original rumor scream
fake but then if you actually look at the SAO progressive series it kills this
completely. SAO progressive right now only has five
novels. The SAO author Reki has mentioned that he would like to cover all on Aincrad
floors. Whether he actually means up to 100 or really only floor 75 is
un clear but let's look at the progressive series in detail. The first novel was
released in 2012. It then got one new book every year until the fourth one.
Book number five just came out this February so there was as two to three
year gap between number four and number five. The point here being he's releasing
these very slowly and honestly at the rate he's releasing these novels you're
gonna be like seventy five years old before he gets to where Aincrad stopped
in the anime. Forget about seeing this in the anime. At
that point SAO will be actually real. And by the way I should bring this up there
happened some rumors about Reki possibly speeding up the release of
these. However right now he's also working on the final arc for SAO. This
isn't even considering the other ongoing series from him. Anyone remember accel
world? But anyway just to be a little fair considering how much was covered in
the anime of SAO season one you could realistically the a1 studio
turning the five novels into an anime series. You could get 24 episodes out of
that but then you run into a situation where a possible new season for this
wouldn't come out for three to five years maybe longer and who knows perhaps
they're perfectly fine with that. In all it would be really nice to see an SAO
anime reboot fleshing out all the floors detail by detail.
Unfortunately realistically it is not possible right now. The earliest they
could be able to do this would be after SAO season three is done which would be
around 2020 and who knows whether SAO will still be massively popular in a few
years but anyway more important let me hear your thoughts on this! Question of
the day would you be interested in seeing an SAO anime reboot? This being
the original Aincrad floor-by-floor. Which do you want to see more this or
SAO season 3? Also have you even heard about this SAO progressive series?
By the way definitely give a thumbs up and subscribe you can enjoy five or more
anime videos every week. This includes anime news and break downs
like this one. Also recently there's been some juicy and full release about reZero
and my hero academia got a season 3 trailer released. Check out my video
breakdowns on that and I'll see you guys later
