Sword Art Online II, announced on Tuesday (31 December 2013) during the premier of Sword Art Online: Extra Edition, will air sometime this year (2014, duh!). The franchise’s website also has been updated to reflect this new development, which they dubbed the “Phantom Bullet” (Which is the subtitle of the Novel for the more commonly known Gun Gale Online arc). You can visit the site here.
Also, the trailer for it has been streamed. Here it is chumps!
The official website announced the main cast and staff, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will be back as Kirito, while Miyuki Sawashiro will also reprise her role as Shinon from the Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment PSP game.
Tomohiko Ito will direct at A-1 Pictures, and Shingo Adachi will adapt abec‘s original character designs for the animations.
What this means? Doesn’t seem like much, except for the fact that familiar hands will be working on the series’ new season. So don’t go around complaining that the second season is going to to suffer from “second seasons are worse than the first” disease! (Or would that happen? Hmm…)
So what do you think of your first 2014 anime announcement? Think it’s going to suffer the dreaded “second seasons are worse than the first” disease? Let us know in the comments what you think!
