"Where...am I...?" Before he knows it, Kirito has made a full-dive into an epic, fantasy-like virtual world. With only a murky recollection of what happened right before he logged in, he starts to wander around, searching for clues.

He comes upon an enormous, pitch dark tree (the Gigas Cedar), where he encounters a boy. "My name is Eugeo. Nice to meet you, Kirito." Although he is supposedly a resident of the virtual world – an NPC – the boy shows the same array of emotions as any human being.

As Kirito bonds with Eugeo, he continues to search for a way to log out of this world. Meanwhile, he remembers a certain memory deep down within him. He remembers racing through the mountains with Eugeo as a child... A memory that he should not have in the first place.

And in this memory, he sees someone other than Eugeo, a young blond girl. Her name is Alice. And it is a name that must never be forgotten...

I love SAO

this is a must watch for any anime fan

thanks for the update

more like don't watch if you're an anime fan.
it's a overhype series that's average at best.

Gun Gale Alternative though was actually pretty good, thanks to it being written by a different author so the characters were alot better.

though since i'm already in this deep i might as well continue watching it. (at least for a bit to see if it actually lives up to it's premise)
Alicization though make for a interesting story, since it cuts out the rest of the cast other than lame MC Kirito to my knowledge and isn't based around a VRMMO instead it's like a artificial world (it's basically an Isekai this time around)
so if anything it'll actually be a bit more entertaining than the previous seasons hopefully.
plus you get to see Kirito basically die at the start which is funny.

it's kinda the same with me too

I mean I'm gonna watch it solely because I have seen SAO1 & 2 & GunGaleOnlineAlternative

This completely contradicts your first statement.....

how so?


I guess I just like it because I am a gamer, hopefully this new season is good

also I prefer GunGaleOnline compared to Alfheim Online

it contradicts because

"I love SAO, this is a must watch for any anime fan" paints you as the standard hype SAO fanboy

yet your second statement you agree with me calling it an average series with shitty characters etc...



it's like giving the series 10/10 but agreeing with someone that gave it 5/10.

I agree with you because I know it's not the best anime around... but I still kinda like it because I can relate to the story as a gamer...

that's all I meant

is this going to be a movie or series of episodes?

"season 3" it's pretty clear that it's a series.
