The reveal of a new series set for 2014 for Sword Art Online II definitely had some good reaction to it and Aniplex USA followed it up with an official promo for it, which you can see below, that largely mirrors what was at the end of the Extra Edition special. In addition to that, the official site updated with some cast and staff news that will be welcome if expected. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will be reprising his role as Kirito for the series while Miyuki Sawashiro, who playing Shinon in the PSP game Infinity Moment, will be taking on the same role for the anime series. In addition to that, Tomohiko Ito will direct the series for A-1 Pictures while Shingo Adachi has signed on to return as the original character designer.
Sword Art Online II was announced at the end of the Extra Edition episode and that it will debut some time in 2014. The focus of the series, at least to start, will be on the fifth and sixth novels of the series that revolves around the game Gun Gale and specifically the Phantom Bullet Arc. In continuity, the game takes place in 2025 as the game itself becomes the most popular game since SAO went online. The game is a science fiction type that focuses largely on firearms but also delves into other types of weapons as well. One of the characters from the game, Shinon, makes an appearance in the Extra Edition episode.
Game setting: The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth, which had become a wasteland after a huge war long ago, that people had returned to on space ships. The capital city of the game, called SBC Gurokken, with SBC meaning Space Battle Cruiser, was originally the spaceship that was used to return to this planet. A huge city of ruins from the war, which has an unlimited number of number of automated fighting machines and mutant creatures that await adventurers, sleeps beneath the capital city.
so was wondering because i’ve been looking and can’t find it anywhere, did someone cut out sinon’s cameo at the end of the extra edition? i can’t find any video that goes beyond the clip at the very end, after the credits
