Okay, it looks to me that this film is going to have original content; no continuation from the end of Mother's Rosario going into the Alicization arc. Nothing from the Light Novels at all is what I'm basically getting.

Am I wrong?

[Sacredus]

They can use prologue 2 from 9th volume... but that's all. Another words there's 90% chances that it will be either some recap movie or original content.

I wanted Alicization anime - volumes 9 -14 - not something like this... :/

Yep, it will original content.

[Dextro]

Bah, anime original. I wish they would pick up more of Progressive to adapt instead. :/

[Peanutbutter]

Maybe based on the PSP games' contents?

Interesting. Really curious to see what the content for the movie will be, especially since it's an original story by Kawahara .

Maybe a story set back in SAO, in the vein of Progressive, or an original story that will setup the Alicization adaption? Just a lot of possibilities, though I think I'd prefer the former scenario then the latter, as a possible chance to give more limelight to the SAO era cast, setting, and give us more Kirito x Asuna .

Definitely looking forward to seeing more from this .

Considering Extra Edition was how they announced S2, I imagine they'll announce S3 at the end of the movie (or the movie might actually be related to Alicization)

More info on the 10th, when DBM releases.

I don't think Alicization will fit in a movie format (or will fit terribly and not make sense to someone who hasn't read the LNs), so I think it's better the movie is a standalone story. Alicization seems more fit for at least a 1 cour series. 2 cour if they want to do it properly.

Alicization makes up half the books at this point.
2 cours would be considerably rushed, going by the pacing of the previous seasons.

[Dr. Casey]

Yeah, and we're still a few volumes away from the end, so Alicization will end up taking well more than half the series. A proper adaptation would need to pull a Prisma Illya and have multiple seasons, probably 2-3 two cours.

[Boukenxha]

I think ALO has plenty of untapped potential to make an interesting original story. There should be a void iirc between the period Asuna was rescued to the start of MR or GGO where it could be slotted in. For SAO stories, maybe leave it up to Progressive (which I hope we'll see animated in the future) to cover them?

Apparent Interview details from yaraon:
劇場版「SAO」
・企画は二期終了直前からスタート
・キリトとアスナの物語は変わらず、他のキャラクターにも見せ場を用意
・時系列的には「マザーズ・ロザリオ」以降「アリシゼーション」編最新刊より前の話

いっそのこと「アインクラッド」編をリブートしてもう一回やるという案も出たのですが
お客さんが見たいのは果たしてそれなのかと悩み、結果としてマザーズ・ロザリオ編の
終了後から続くお話を描くことになりました。
