Though its going to be quite the wait the time will allow the studio to maintain both the quality and the pacing that they managed to achieve this season.
Both of which worked in parallel with the strong performances of the VA's to make this season one of the strongest within the series.
Can't wait till Spring to see the tide turn against Gabriel and his new allies.

Will this be the final anime adaptation of Sao, or is there any other arc after alicization which is yet to be adapted?
google Unital Ring its supposed to be the final story of SAO *hopefully*
It isn't the final arc. It's literally the first arc made by Kawahara for the main light novel as everything before was just from what he wrote before the light novels, from Aincrad to Alicization so in LN, from volume 1 to volume 20 including the 4 main arcs, Mother Rosario and other side stories.

Part 1 so far has been a visual treat to keep up with but the rushed content has been a big hinder imo so here's to hoping Part 2 will look a little brighter in that aspect. Probably wishful thinking from my part but I feel inclined to let it out anyway.
God, the Key Visual looks stunning though! Definitely hypes me up a bit!

Various reasons. If one day people stop bitching about SAO, then we'll tell.
