Hi everyone, first post here but you can just refer to me as Tensai.
Wewt... Now that that's done with... ON WITH WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!
So anyways just today, or well I should say yesterday, news about Sword Art Online II came out after the Sword Art Online Extra Edition episode came out during New Years! Apparently, this will be airing on April 23, 2014. Yeah I just used bold there for anyone who doesn't really want to read this and just wants to know the airing date. So at the end of the episode, if you've seen it then you'll see that they announce that Sword Art Online II is coming out and then later via Twitter they announce it will be a TV anime. Now I don't know about anyone else here, but if you've read the light novels then you know that after the Alfeim Online Arc, the Phantom Bullet (Gun Gale Online) Arc happens next. So actually, the TV anime will be following the light novel starting from this Phantom Bullet Arc... There isn't exactly any details on whether or not they will go past this and into the next arc and since I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read it yet, or hasn't even watched the Extra Edition episode, I'll just leave the PV for the Sword Art Online II anime here!
P.S. On that note, I'm actually wondering whether or not this will turn into another Sword Art catastrophe... I remember in the first season of the anime they decided to turn away from fighting action anime into a romantic drama. I'm not saying I didn't like it but it was a pretty cliche ending which left a bitter taste in my mouth. So I'm happy they're continuing it so I can hopefully see a better ending...
