The Sword Art Online 10th Anniversary Project: Beyond stage at the Dengeki Bunko 30th Summer Festival Online 2023 event announced a second season for Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online television anime on Saturday, revealing an announcement promo and a teaser visual (pictured).

Voice actress Tomori Kusunoki (Chainsaw Man, Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha) is reprising as the protagonist LLENN. The lead staff returning are as follows:

Staff
Director: Masayuki Sakoi (Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru, A3! Season Autumn & Winter)
Series Composition: Yousuke Kuroda (Jormungand, Boku no Hero Academia)
Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Yoshio Kozakai (Enen no Shouboutai, The Marginal Service)

The first anime season aired in 12 episodes in Spring 2018, adapting the first three volumes. Aniplex of America licensed the anime in North America and simulcast it on Crunchyroll and Hulu.

Gun Gale Online adapts the spin-off light novel by Keiichi Sigsawa (Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World), which has been published under the Dengeki Bunko imprint since December 2014, featuring illustrations by Kouhaku Kuroboshi (Princess Principal). Kadokawa published the 13th volume on March 10.

Tadadi Tamori drew a manga adaptation in Dengeki Maoh magazine from October 2015 to January 2021. Kadokawa shipped the fourth and final volume in March 2021.

Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga in English in 2017 and published the 12th novel volume on June 20. The fourth and final manga volume went on sale last January..

What on earth is this blasphemy? A Kirito-less SAO? I'll pass on this one, thank you. Without Kirito, SAO is like eating cereal without milk. Despite the fact that he is hardly the most well-written or entertaining character ever created.
I do not like series in which the main character is absent or switches places with different characters, call me prejudiced, IDC. Please notify me if sequels to the main series are announced.
Disclaimer: I did not write this to anger fans, I know that this is a spinoff series. I wish you all a pleasant watching time.
Remember what Master Oogway told us:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

I've been waiting for sequel to this just so I can see more P-chan action and I like it better than the original SAO.

Oh wow another unexpected sequel announcement. Definitely gonna need to rewatch S1 before this drops lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

SAO is gradually becoming Fate for me. While I'm trying to watch at least one new show, they release 3-4 new ones.

Will be curious to see how this plays out considering the first season felt conclusive enough. I've become a bit obsessed with all things GGO in the past couple of months so this is welcome regardless.

The only SAO that is decent and watchable. A new season is welcome.

No Kiritio no SAO .

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”
(Holy Quran 17:23-24).

Meh. Gonna be real..I wasn't a big fan of the first season. It was pretty boring especially cause it's ALTERNATE and not actual SAO. I'll watch it for completion sake but I'm not expecting anything crazy.

The first season felt a bit like filler, and had a conclusive ending. Didn't really want or expect more, but I'll probably watch it anyways.

I love GGOA, I will definitely want this!
The MC is interesting.
I just hope we can get a sequel from the original series next year.

Note: my comment looks shallow but I really meant it.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Wait, there's only 1 more volume left to be adapted? Will that even be enough for 10 episodes? I guess they could bring back some cut content from the first 3 volumes. But if there was only 1 more volume left to be adapted my question is why couldn’t they make this sooner.

There is 13 volumes at the moment. The first season only adapted the first 3 one for the first squad jam and the 2 the second.

This sequel will adapt at least 3 more which were the third squad jam (2) and the beta test (one). If they have more then one cour they could do the fourth squad jam 3 volumes.

I thought the post said 4 volumes for the LN. But it was for the manga. Never mind.

And yes, she retain & come back with one of her debut/early role in seiyuu career, after successfully voice Makima in CSM and her resignation to voice Setsuna in LoveLive series because of her health issue.. Glad she still voice Karen/LLENN..

This is actually so hype. I loved the first season so much, the characters were, imo, so much more loveable than core Sword Art Online (◕▿◕)
