Overview

Over a month has passed since 10,000 users were trapped inside the “Sword Art Online” world. Asuna, who cleared the first floor of the floating iron castle of Aincrad, joined up with Kirito and continued her journey to reach the top floor. With the support of female Information Broker Argo, clearing the floors seemed to be progressing smoothly, but conflict erupts between two major guilds who should be working together – the top player groups ALS (the Aincrad Liberation Squad) and DKB (the Dragon Knights Brigade).

Viewing Notes

Glad the finally scheduled a Japanese language screening so I could view this sequel properly. Not nearly as good as the previous film and drops all the gay themes for a straight path with the two protagonists. First half really lags but the action and story pick up for the final act. The best character from the first movie doesn’t appear until past the halfway mark. Assuming there will be yet another installment since they’ve only reached the sixth floor of one hundred. Hope they craft a better story for it.
