Might watch the movie with friends, curious if we can watch this without watching the original cause I know this is kind of like a retelling of the story

Yes, you can.

But keep in mind that this doesn’t exactly make sense if you watch the original series.

If any questions let me know.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Yeah, sure. But as far as I remember some scenes of second importance from the original series were either skipped or replaced with such from Asuna’s perspective.

I will request you to watch the original series and just that, let me be clear SAO was the first story which introduced us to video game world and being trapped in it and if you die in the game you die in real life, that's it and it was kind of cool when I first watch it, but the story became ass and continued being a perfect bullshit all the remaining seasons after they released from the game. That's it so only thing good about SAO is the 1st 12 ep of the 1st season, but you should watch the whole season with 24 ep, then plz invest your time on some other series worth your while.

That’s kind of the point to this series, bc it’s just a remake of the original SAO series, but like extended a lot more than the original anime and I think light novel, it I guess focuses more on the different floors instead of like skipping a whole bunch.

And the 5th person listed in the comments is false in his opinion, the first part of the 1st season is great could of Been better (that’s why I like progressive more) 2nd part of season 1 isn’t good, and 2nd season is mid, and the rest of the series is amazing.
