Sword Art Online Extra Edition

I'm a big fan of the Sword Art Online universe, and while I'm watching this and enjoying it, it doesn't really give me anything now as it would've done when it was new.

I believe this is meant to be a "Catch Up" or Hype-builder for Season 2, as it was released between the initial first season and 2nd season had been announced.

This is strictly meant to catch the viewer up, refreshen the mind while also getting to revisit the cast and see what they've been up to meanwhile. It doesn't give alot of "new" content, it's mainly fan service. However, it has its charms.

My ranking on this is definitely lowered due to the accessability of seeing the other seasons now, so this movie isn't needed. But if you've taken a break from SAO and wanna begin on S2 for the first time, but you don't really wanna see the whole series again, this would be a great refresher.

In terms of giving new content, it's not alot.

But it has the charm of SAO, it has the most loved cast (Silica, Sugu, Asuna, Liz and Kirito mainly)

The Pros:

• SAO Style
• Fun to see "offline" content, no matter how little
• Good recap of S1

Cons:

• Not really needed anymore given how accessible the series is with more seasons and stuff now
• Little new content, mainly re-used assets from S1.
