Hi Guys, I m new in the forum and wish we get along well together. First, sorry for my english, because I m a Brazilian xD
Well, to the point, I would Like to know if a third season of anime is scheduled to the start of 2013 or something like this, because I settled to stop reading the Light Novel after the end of volume 4 and only start to read again after March because of the studying. I want to know if I can stay relieved about the Anime 3rd season don't go to airing before I start to read the volumes 5 and 6 (Gun Gale Arc) Thank you! (Y) |

At the moment, there haven't been any announcements about a continuation for the SAO anime; it'll end in three weeks with Episode 25. Based on the popularity/sales, I do expect an anime continuation to happen eventually, but probably not until late-2013 at the very earliest. So I think there won't be a problem for you to read the novels in March, as the anime adaptation almost certainly won't happen for a while.

Any less and you can predict there will be lots of rush work

What about FMP, Chaos T___T
Anyway, if there's any continuation to SAO, I expect it'd be in 2014; the next story arcs aren't quite long enough for a 26-ep series (though a 12 ep series or an 8-ep OVA might be possible), so A-1 may decide to wait until there's enough material to form a second season. Alternatively, they might produce a 13-ep series that covers the next several arcs, and then we get another full 26-ep series in 2015.

Thanks for the the information!
Well, this doubt is because I read in some Brazilian and American sites things like "Oh this anime is a masterpiece (quite exaggerated haha)". So does this popularity repeat with japanese people? I kinda remenber of something about Fairy Tail (a-1 pictures too). This anime was settled to have just 50 and something episodes, but because of its popularity, the contract was renovated for more episodes. I m afraid of something like this happens with SAO xDD What are your bets? the same destiny of fairy tail or not? |

I've already beaten that horse and buried it's body
But thanks for bring it up KyoAni for the win right ? Quote:
SAO is the biggest thing among the Otaku crowd this year... However, the Otaku late night crowd is nothing compared to the Shounen crowd which Fairy Tail belongs to. Saturday Morning Anime > Saturday Late Night Anime. Those are two completely different groups. Also, Fairy Tail's budget is a lot bigger than SAO because their sponsors/publishers, are richer Not to mention they have the power of advertisement to help pay the bills...

Basically, expect it to be more like To Aru Majutsu no Index in terms of episodes than like Fairy Tail. |

Axe, Mace, Sword, Polearm, (And one handed / two handed varieties of each) Dagger, throwing weapon, and unarmed. (I wonder if Monk was ever a viable option, or just a backup.)
There's also some different variations on those, sort of a branching path. Spoiler for Minor novel info on weapons:
I think ALO has the same weapons available (Plus bows), but in general the portrayal is less balanced because the lack of sword skills makes weapons harder to use, and also there's magic.

So my question is, using WoW terminology and references as guidance, do the races have anything that is truly exclusive to them? For instance, would a race have an Orc's Blood Fury ability that only they have (likely in the form of a school of magic), or would it be more like a Blood Elf's enchanting bonus? Or perhaps slightly stronger than the enchanting bonus, and more like a Troll's enhanced regeneration (which cannot be replicated, but isn't a huge bonus) or Tauren's +5% base health (again, cannot be replicated, but isn't a totally unique thing)? Mostly just curious, since the Cait Sith leader had raised Dark Magic, which made me wonder if perhaps races got unique magic schools that only they could use. |

Sugu mentions in the most recent episode that the dark magic related to "self-destructing" is one that comes with unfavorable consequences/penalties.
I'm not sure if the anime will cover that, is there an explanation anywhere that points to what exactly is "lost" from committing such an act?

There's no specific numbers given, just that the penalty for self destructing is several times worse than the normal death penalty. So it's probably as though he died 5-7 times instead of once, with any percentage based penalties stacking and being applied all at once.

But as for your question, I personally really have no idea, I feel like the author could draw this on a lot further given the (admin) powers everyone has over Asuna and Kirito. Personally, I would like a full 20 minute block for Real-Life interactions outside of the ALO world. But yeah I think this discussion is more suitable for speculation thread, so let's not chat anymore here, I'll post something more substantial in there if you'd like.

So, I went and read a few of the volume 2 short story chapters to supplement the anime (specifically, Red Nosed Reindeer, Black Swordsman, and Warmth of Heart), and had a couple of questions based on them:
Spoiler for First, The Black Swordsman:
Spoiler for Second, Warmth of Heart:
