From the title of the 14th episode it's obvious it will be the last of the Aincrad arc and the last 11 episodes will cover the Fairy Dance arc.
I think the 25th episode's ending will go like this. During Kirito and Asuna's emotional first time meeting in real world at the hospital, one of the theme songs' full version (probably Crossing Field) starts playing. While the song is playing, the scenes from volume 4's last chapter are shown until the episode ends. |

The anime will likely end with the whole gang going up against the newly reincarnated Aincrad (yes, there's a pun in there somewhere) to challenge it once again in its new form. Just like how it ended in the relevant novel. This won't really interfere with another season, but I'm not sure they'd get another season - do we have any data on sales yet? |

And no, the kind of ending you mention won't interfere with another season. Also I'm actually talking about this ending Quote:

As far back as I can remember we've always used to call 1-cour a length of 11-13 episodes, let's not start inventing new terminology here
About the ending, I was talking about the same, but looking back I see there was actually a bit more material in there. I guess if they cut out the post-hospital stuff like school life etc, it would have a more final feeling - that's what you're worried about, right? The "epilogue" of volume 4 was rather long... But the chances of getting another season these days are rather low so if they decide to make it a bit more wrapped up like that it can't really be helped I guess. I'm already very happy that it ran for 2-cour. Most adaptations these days don't get as much. Only regret is GGO being shafted, really. |

I think it's pretty likely to get another run for GGO. It's pretty popular and despite what was said that kind of thing isn't really that rare. Anime companies nowadays are more likely to play it safe and run shorter seasons rather than investing in longer ones, but they're not hesitant at all to make sequels to things that sell well. Might take a while though.

He spends a lot time for each log in though. It's two volumes. Logically it's twice as long as the Aincrad arc, and about the same as ALO. Actually, doesn't he only log onto ALO twice too? It's about the perfect size for a 12 episode season, assuming ALO will be the second half of this season.

It's not like Kirito just dives in to ALO right after the arc starts though. They could actually made ALO for the rest of the cour(not 12 episodes but 10 or less seeing that Aincrad arc ends at episode 14).

I highly doubt there won't be another season. Judging from the increased sales in the light novels after the anime started, and the pre-order tracking so far, it looks like the anime is going to be a huge hit commercially.
Also, this scan confirms that Kirito proposes to Asuna in Ep10, so I guess we know how the episode will end: https://yande.re/post/show/224132/as..._art_online-ta |

I certainly hope this is the case anyway. Because there's no way they're fitting chapter 16 with the duel and Kuradeel's incident. EDIT: *SIGH* Actually I just really read that scan and saw what duckroll was talking about. Yes, it does say that the proposal happens this episode. At this point our only hope to see chapter 16 animated is if they move the Kuradeel incident to a later date, but I don't see how that'll happen, and then I don't see how they'll properly lead into the proposal anyway. And if they're rushing it this much, then there's no way we're seeing the fishing chapter. (for those who thought/hoped it would make it in the anime)
