Wait.. So is GGO gonna be half the season, and the other half going into the side stories from Aincrad and Mother's Rosario?
If so, that's so sweet! Mother's Rosario was such a good story!

So glad i asked this earlier, otherwise i woulda ignored it cause GGO's story was bad, so didn't bother watching it.. Mother's Rosario is my favorite part from the LNs

Ohh c'mon it's obvious she had a dead sister. No? Calling asuna sis. Crying when brought up. If her sister isn't dead then it must be something far worse then death that happened to her sister. Although death seems like the obvious answer. I kinda feel like reading the novels now haha but I'll pass
Depends on how you look at it. It could be considered worse than death in some ways.
The back story for Yuuki and the Sleeping Knights is far more complex than you're probably expecting.
note for anyone who doesn't know already: be prepared to cry. Unless you're a heartless bastard, there's no way you won't.
Just a reference for your example: I personally think this particular story was about 10x more heart wrenching then Clannad ever could be.
