What a Journey. From Alicization Begining back in 2018 to Alicization Lasting it's been a thrilling ride.
This tale ends here. The full story has been told.
But Kirito and Asuna and Leafa and Sinon and others will join Alice in the battle beyond this point. When next they gather, swords in hand, it will be for the final, greatest battle of all : the Inter - Intelligence War .
But as of this moment, all possibilities are merely bobbing along in flux , flickering beyond a field of fluctuating light.
From the beginning to the end, I enjoyed this season so much. It had its up and downs
...
but overall the story was great. The animation was mesmerizing and the OST was amazing. I liked the first half of Alicization better than the second half because it introduced me to a whole new world full of mystery and possibility. But that doesn't mean that I didn't like the second half too. The Knightmare scene especially shows how much Kiritos Character developed throughout the entire Alicization story. But as a Light Novel reader, I was disappointed at some points of the anime, I was disappointed at how they adapted the LN story into anime form. The lack of inner monologues affected the story and the anime cut some elements which were essential to the story. And sometimes the watered-down explanations cause more questions than answers. But overall it was a solid adaptation.
The entire Alicization arc was 9.5/10 for me. ( I say this considering the original story of the LN series and how it was told in the Light novel and in the anime. If I only consider the anime It's a solid 8/10 for me because I found The story and the how it was told in the LN was far superior and the anime adaptation didn't quite capture it properly.)
