@malvarez1 Sometimes I think it's not so much the show itself that people love, but the fact that it's a unique opportunity to get SAO without Kirito. I still remember threads on Reddit where people cited the absence of Kirito and related elements of the show as practically the main selling point of the anime for them.

Peak is back on the menu. Kirito won't be missed.

@_MushiRock11_ I'm wondering if we'll get more SAO content in the future or if Dengeki Bunko is just maintaining general interest in the franchise this way.

GG is such a fitting name for the Op title, lol.

Looking forward to this, we have waited ages for this…

@RobertBobert Knowing the popularity of the SAO franchise, I'm sure there'll be more than just this! SAO original movie coming soon too and I'm sure they'll adapt the final bits following the Aliciazation arc as well as churn out more of those progressive movies.
