This was an unexpected but welcomed news.

SAO: GGO was quite nice on its own, having a different feel from the original SAO.

The first season felt "complete" so i didn't expect they would make a new season (i've only been following the original SAO LN).

S2 has the same staff from the previous season (studio, director, series composition) and same VA (Tomori Kusunoki) for the FMC (Karen/LLENN).

Hoping for the best!

Definitely wasn't expecting it either. GGOA is my favourite part of the SAO franchise, although it's not a great show by any means. It'll be nice seeing more of Llenn.

"I would definitely pay for more for this than the original GGO" is what I would like to say.

I actually wanted more of this, as the GGOA can be expanded more because of how they animated it and there are a lot to talk about who the MC is. Iirc, there was also a cliffhanger at the end which makes it very possible.
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.

Extremely exciting! From my understanding the light novel will follow the same pacing as the first season. You have your battle royale then an off-arc then another battle royale.. just forever... I mean damn it make sense, that is how you play games after all! 

God I never expected this to be made

Honestly never expected this show to get another season, mainly because of the criticism of low blue ray sales I’ve heard in the past. Feels like I’m living in the universe where it does get one and I certainly welcome it as spin offs rarely are decent.

Really wish it wasn’t announced over 5 years later, now I gotta rewatch it…

I would have never expected to see a Season 2. I watched Season 1 back when it was airing. It wasn't that memorable for me, except for the ED song.
Anyway, I'll check this out for sure.

This is the most unexpected hype of the year, I really do wish GGO was a playable game it looks so cool. I rewatched the first season a couple times a while back I’m going to have to do it again before I begin this one.

There's SAO Fatal Bullet, but it's honestly not that great and doesn't feel anything like the anime GGO.

It's really unexpected.Now we can be sure that SAO season 5 will be announced too.

I think they are checking if SAO fans are still like old times.

They can't be sure from movies because some people don't know SAO but watch for fun.
And some can't go to the theatre.

We should support this season for SAO season 5

(my opinion)
