The next phase for the Sword Art Online properties with the upcoming anime adaptation of the light novel series Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online is set for the spring season and the updates are starting to roll in. We learned recently that Studio 3Hz is on board to handle the production for this one and now the details of the staff have been confirmed. Masayuki Sakoi is directing the series with Yousuke Furoda handling the series composition. Yoshio Kosakai is on board as the chief animation director and character designer that’s adapting Kouhaku Kuroboshi’s original designs.
The light novel itself back in 2014 and has five volumes out so there’s plenty of material for the manga to adapt. The manga adaptation comes from writer Keiichi Shigusawa with artwork by Tadadi Tamori.
Plot Concept: The story follows Karen Kohiruimaki, a 183-centimeter-tall (6-foot-tall) college student who’s insecure about her height, and is bad at dealing with people in the real world. She enters the world of Gun Gale Online with her avatar, Ren, who is less than 150 centimeters (5 feet) tall and wears all pink. She meets a beautiful, brown-skinned female player who goes by Pitohui. They hit it off, but one day Pitohui pressures her to participate in “Squad Jam,” a team battle royale variation of the Bullet of Bullets tournament.
