Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Scherzo of Deep Night

Why are they touting kibawon and deleting Liten and Shivata's story?

Only those who have read the original novel can better understand this anger.

Liten and Shivata, two people who really wanted to bring peace and tolerance, their story was all but cut out of the movie.

If this had to be cut because of the limited length of the movie, then why was there even so much extra originality in glorifying the image of kibawon? Instead of having time to tell the story of Linda and Siba, who wanted to try to defuse the rivalry of DKB andALS with trust, peace and tolerance, there was time to create original content that glorified the image of kibawon?

The movie's taking and tampering with the original plot made me cringe so much.

I can't write how much I enjoyed this film. I could've watched this movie back to back 3 times and still came back to watch it a fourth time. The animation department must've worked overtime on this one and you could tell. And the MUSIC, the soundtrack in this film is amazing. Electric guitar + violin can only equal greatness. This movie built upon Kirito and Asuna's relationship and Mito's character greatly, and showed some great moments of my personal favorite character Agil. The only complaints I could say about this film is that it was less innovative than the last but otherwise it is better in every category.

So many details, it's unbelievable. It captures a lot of what a MMORPG stands for and the details for the genre refferences are pure music for an experienced ear.

I won't go any further for a complete review of every aspect of the movie itself, it's not necesarry. Movie will speak for itself. Go watch it!

As I've said at my latest review for Aria of a Starless Night, the movie brings the exact, rather specific energy most of us have had around year 2014 when SAO first hit the worldwide screens. It's that magnetic sensation expressed in you wanting to be part of a realm that has at least one function like SAO, to play a full length MMORPG like it and coexist with other players that are part of the same adventure. It's a sensation not any, if any movie or series, regardless of the screening, will give to you. Virtual reality may not be presented irl as sophisticated and attractive as in SAO, but it may borrow a few characteristics, if smart enought people work on it. Depends on the interest, i guess!

Scherzo of a Dark Dusk was much appreciated, and again: if you know, you know.
