Filled with explosive fight scenes and fluid animation, the Sword Art Online movie looks like a promising treat for anime fans. There's nothing better than a great anime being brought to life on the big screen with crystal clear visuals and great music, and from the looks of the new trailer, the Sword Art Online movie definitely has those two down pat.
Here's a description of the movie's plot:
"In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba, called NerveGear. It was the first full-dive system, and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.
In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.
Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games…"
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale premieres in Japan on February 18 this year and will screen in cinemas in the US in a one-night event on March 9.
