I've never quite held interest in watching the anime, I've seen maybe ten episodes . Anyway, I never stuck with it , wasn't my vibe. But the movie is really good. I love how it makes it about Asuna instead as the focus. Will be watching some other movies. Any guidance as to which ones first appreciated. Xoxo

I personaly really liked original series, but the movie is really awesome and in many ways better than original series, the way they presented it was just.. Much better than they did in series

Yeah the movie is a really great intro to the series, it’s also even better after seeing the original Aincrad arc and seeing how they’ve filled in the gaps and shown things from a different perspective.

I'm caught up with the anime, and I feel the same way. Asuna and Mio had a much more compelling dynamic as compared to S1's awful forced teen romance. Kirito actually acted awkward, as I'd expect an ace gamer to.
I never felt like the show had any depth to it per se, but it failed at surface level entertainment too. The film was actually pretty good in that regard.

Plus, no dumb irrelevant rape scenes is cool.

You Sir, are so much more honest with yourself than 80% of the Anime community, who's acting like we're supposed to hate every entrance to the series, to be a legit "Otaku"

I applaud you.

I agree! I was never a fan of SAO, but if I liked one part the most, it would have to be the first one, and this movie gives more insight into that.

I agree man the anime was really bad honestly the fight scenes were cool the plot and story was all over the place so I wasn’t a huge fan. This movie basically turned all that around though, easily the best of SAO I’ve watched and I’ve seen everything.

This SAO is a proper and good retelling of the TV version after all, that is how what Aincrad Arc should be, nice and slow :)

I would say the movie is simply more well paced and better writhen than the series, the progression feels more natural and less rushed to the fight scenes, also Kirito feels a bit tuned down on his cheats, so even his characters looks better placed in the world now.

Honestly, with the original series having many problems story wise, I found this movie the best sword art has to offer and I highly recommend it as it was very enjoyable.
