Source for the Second Season of the Trainwreck known as SAO being only one cour?


While it's not definitive, according to the ANN article reveal, season 2 will only cover 2 light novels. A couple distinctions lend credence to the assumption that season 2 will thus only be 1 cour:

* The first season consisted of 5 light novels over 25 episodes.
* Fairy Dance consisted of 2 novels and fit into 11 episodes.
* The same director is directing, so it would be odd for him to change methods and try to fill up 2 cours with content from only 2 novels.

SAO gets a second season....

Log Horizon gets a second season....

Accel World gets..... Crying or Very sad


i can somewhat understand this. accel world is far better than SAO (but still not as good as LH). however SAO is only as popular as it is because its set in an MMO and the fanboys ignore all the blatent faults with it.

Fairy Dance also had a huge chunk of it cut out.

SAO is only doing Phantom Bulet right now but if the decide to do a second half Log Horizon and SAO might be competing with eachother for a bit. That will be interesting. Not to mention all of the Mecha series popping up to challange the "Gundam Reconguista in G" anime this fall. Then we also have Psycho Pass 2 coming out.

Fall season should be pretty fun.

/the anime was pretty darn faithful to the source material.

I read Fairy Dance the only thing really cut out was a "filler" chapter that hinted at the Excalibur quest, which is a side story done later on.

it actually took place during the main storyline though.

either way, SAO is pretty mediocre overall and doesn't live up to the hype it has.

Now now don’t bully, GGO isn’t that bad and Mothers Rosario is actually legitimately good. A shame they aren’t adapting it (yet).

I don't know if I'm up for 25 more episodes. While there are things that I definitely like about it, I frequently find it extremely boring.

As the article itself mentions, there's lots of spinoffs and even a spinoff web novel about a certain Debauchery Tea Party leader's post-Apocalypse adventure


The catch is that most of the spin offs take place in the time frame already covered. For example, the West Wind Brigade side story thus takes place after the cataclysm following Soujiro's point of view, and current material for it ends before episode 10 of the anime. The same is true of Honey Moon Logs to my knowledge. The Nyanta focuses side story is the only one chronologically placed after that point, and it's kind of short on content to use for much filler. The one webnovel side story doesn't have those same restrictions, but it's far from complete, and I doubt they'd be eager to adapt a story that isn't even officially published.

Now, Log Horizon's director Shinji Ishihira is great at getting every scrap of source material he can for content. However, he's returning to directing Fairy Tail this spring, which stands a high chance of running for a year at minimum. So he'll likely be unavailable to direct Log Horizon season 2.

All told, unless the author manages to rush out a couple more books between now and fall, you're looking at either a one cour season, drastically slowed pacing, or lots of filler.

The problem with your logic, and that article, is that you're assuming that they will only be adapting two novels. They generally don't do promotional material for stuff that's much further on down the line. They want to be hyping what's next, not what will come after what happens next. For example, when SAO started airing, the promotional materials did not include anything about the Fairy Dance arc. It wasn't until the series progressed and we saw the pacing did we know that they'd be adapting Fairy Dance as well. Or Fairy Tail. When we learned it would go beyond 48 episodes, they were talking about adapting the Oracion Seis arc for it's "second season". A few years later and they were well past that arc when the anime stopped. So them only talking about the Phantom Bullet arc now is no guarantee that they will only adapt it.
