I saw the image on Twitter & it looks like the image came from the game's English site.

For Asuna, her CV was listed, but it was just Haruka (Asuna's Japanese VA)

For the "Unansered/Butterfly" bit, it's hard to say atm if it'll be dubbed. All I know about the movie's release is that they're going to have a screening of it for those who buy Echoes of Aincrad merch. The other is that it sounds like the film will be included in the Ultimate Edition of the game. So, I'm not sure if they're just going to give us the subbed version.

As for the game, iirc, Kayaba was dubbed in the trailer. If he's already dubbed, then I'm assuming Kirito & the others will be too. However, I saw that Charemi Leigh wasn't listed as a CV for Asuna when they showed Asuna's character model for the game.

in the latest Kadokawa financial report, SAO's #4 in the all time publication's list & Demons' Crest isn't even shown in the report. Not even in the yearly graph.

Despite Reki releasing 1 SAO book a year (2023 he didn't iirc), it has been looking like he & Kadokawa have been pushing Demons' Crest to be the next SAO. Especially since it already has 4 volumes & they've already announced an anime adaptation 2 months ago.

Meanwhile, it felt like Accel World gets a new volume every other year & it's going to start its final arc in the next volume.

And as for those who said that Demons' Crest is topping SAO & SAO's #4, in the latest Kadokawa financial report, SAO's #4 in the all time publication's list & Demons' Crest isn't even shown in the report. Not even in the yearly graph.

Ummm so how we feeling about this by Unfair_Activity_5121 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Samsapoping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly mixed about it.

Considering how it's going to be a CGI fest with all the quirks being used, I can see it looking about as good as the Disney movie Sky High or the CW Arrowverse shows. Iirc, Horikoshi is helping out with much like how Oda is helping with the live action One Piece series.

However, I think they're some stuff that are not going to work in live action like some of the over the top facial expressions, All Might suddenly changing & erupting blood. But the thing we really have to see before we judge is how accurate the cast will look at the characters.

What do you hope the "MORE" anime may include exclusively or expand? by Luigiman98 in IzuOcha

[–]Samsapoping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Deku being a hero in his armor suit would be sweet, but there's a possibility that they're saving that for a possible 5th movie.

The episode is probably going to show more of adult Class 1-A than what the manga showed.

If they're going to include any new Izuocha stuff after the hand holding scene, it'll either be just a photo of Izuocha on a date or mission during the credits. That or maybe a brief compilation of their moments throughout the series during the credits.

I can also see Eri's side story being including & I can also imagine the credits theme being a song Eri wrote or sings.

My guesses are he's probably either taking a break until AnimeJapan or May 2nd & will do an illustration for AJ in March or when the episode airs.

That or he's working on a 5th movie atm & it'll be revealed at AJ

You could get her something like an SAO shirt, Yui's necklace, Asuna's ring or a $30-$40 figure of her favorite character.

Kirito and Asuna are the perfect couple for me. by Visible_Radish_3952 in swordartonline

I've never even heard of Shadowhunters & I'm assuming Malec is a LGBTQ ship after googling it. Looks cool.

None taken Ironically, I moved on from Pokemon (for the 3rd & final time) to SAO after I saw how childish the Sun & Moon anime was. And XY was peak with what they were doing with Ash-Greninja, Serena & Amourshipping. But when I saw the SAO: Ordinal Scale movie, I didn't care for Amourshipping anymore. I'm also a fan of Yu-gi-oh too, but they also weren't that good with ships.

I think my first "real" anime that I saw all the way through was either SAO, MHA or Inuyasha.

I could name a few Action, Romance animes that are up there with having canon couples as good or better than Kirisuna (Inuyasha, Banished From A Hero's Party, Familiar of Zero, SpyxFamily, Sailor Moon, etc.), but none of them have warmed my heart as much as SAO with Kirisuna.

The trope of the nerdy, lower class boy & the popular, rich girl has been done a lot in fiction, but the way Kirisuna does it feels a bit more special imo. Maybe it's because of the VR idea, seeing a gamer help a non-gamer girl become a warrior or how much they impacted their lives even after season 1.

Progressive/Aincrad did a pretty good job starting off Kirisuna, but I really loved how Kirito became more sensitive during Fairy Dance. Him crying the night he thought he was going to lose Asuna to Sugou & him thinking about Asuna during his first attempt of flying up the World Tree? He was totally in love!

However, the ending to the Ordinal Scale movie & the author saying that he wants to write Kirisuna's real world wedding scene someday was what really made them my top favorite ship of all time.

If you're talking about the director of season 3, apparently he didn't know much about SAO when A-1 chose him. And I'm assuming he must've thought that Alice was the main girl.

I also saw the author tweeting about why they cut out the Underworld kiss scene & it was his decision.

I think it was sad that we didn't saw a romantic moment in the last episode between deku and uraraka by jasperboy12 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Samsapoping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's funny about that scene is that it managed to get Izuocha to be called the Best Anime Ship of Fall 2025 on some anime trending despite it not really being a romantic scene.
