posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Fans who buy every DVD or Blu-ray Disc volume of the Sword Art Online television anime series at a Comic Toranoana doujinshi goods retail store can win a real-life version of the character Kirito's sword Elucidator. Aniplex showcased the replica sword at its Anime Contents Expo 2012 booth. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing.
People who purchase the first limited-edition volume at select retailers across Japan, including Comic Toranoana, will also receive a poster with art by the original novels' character designer abec. Fans who buy every volume of the anime at the same retailers will get a cast round-table discussion CD featuring Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Haruka Tomatsu, Ayana Taketatsu, Kanae Itō, Rina Hidaka, and Ayahi Takagaki.
The same retail chains will also offer a variety of separate, exclusive items to people who buy the anime at their stores. Bonuses will include art cards, bed sheets, posters, cases, and tapestries.
Aniplex will release the first volume of Sword Art Online in Japan on October 24. Adapted from Reki Kawahara's action-fantasy light novel series, the anime premiered in Japan on July 7.
