Sword Art Online la Película -Progressive- Scherzo de la Oscura Noche
Trama
Al caer la noche en el mundo virtual de Sword Art Online, los jugadores restantes se enfrentan a un fenómeno peculiar: la aparición de misteriosos huevos brillantes esparcidos por todo el terreno. Estos enigmáticos objetos parecen estar emitiendo una extraña energía que atrae a los jugadores, lo que hace que sea cada vez más difícil resistir su encanto. Kirito y Asuna, que se han acostumbrado a los desafíos que presenta el castillo de hierro flotante de Aincrad, se encuentran entre los primeros en notar este peculiar suceso. Unen fuerzas con otros jugadores hábiles para investigar la fuente de estos huevos y descubrir los secretos detrás de su fascinante poder. A medida que profundizan en el misterio, descubren que estos huevos están conectados a una serie de mensajes crípticos ocultos dentro del código del juego. Estos mensajes parecen insinuar una inminente catástrofe que tendrá consecuencias de gran alcance para todos los jugadores atrapados dentro del reino virtual de Aincrad. Mientras tanto, Yuuki Cross, un jugador de renombre conocido por sus habilidades excepcionales y su enigmática actitud, aparece en la escena. Sus motivos no están claros, pero se hace evidente que de alguna manera está vinculado a los misteriosos huevos y los mensajes crípticos que contienen. Mientras Kirito, Asuna y sus aliados trabajan juntos para desentrañar el misterio detrás de los huevos brillantes, se enfrentan a desafíos y revelaciones inesperados que amenazan con trastocar todo lo que creían saber sobre Sword Art Online. Los riesgos son mayores que nunca cuando se enfrentan a las fuerzas oscuras que acechan dentro del mundo virtual de Aincrad, y la verdadera naturaleza de la participación de Yuuki Cross comienza a desarrollarse. Con el tiempo agotándose y el destino de todos los jugadores pendiendo de un hilo, Kirito y sus amigos deben dejar de lado sus diferencias y trabajar juntos para superar los obstáculos que se avecinan. ¿Serán capaces de descubrir la verdad detrás de los misteriosos huevos y evitar la inminente catástrofe, o sucumbirán a los peligros que acechan dentro del reino digital de Aincrad?

This was amazing! It would have been even better if Kirito had even less screen time (kidding...mostly).

Adding a star just for Asuna taking a bath.

Kawahara Reki has struck gold, realizing that everyone still loves SAO the most, and has decided to churn out a movie every year. Fine, it's definitely good for some simple entertainment. Just don't go in with any other expectations. It's pretty cool and visually appealing, which is enough.

What I was most worried about while watching was that they'd fall into the cliché of killing off Mito, with Kirito then saving Asuna, who's heartbroken, in the role of a savior. But the fact that the animation team managed to give Mito, who could've been a mere tool, a complete arc is commendable. Instead of letting the audience get sidetracked by the yuri undertones in the early to mid-stages and painting Mito as Kirito's "mirror image," she inevitably needed traits of an ordinary person (escaping reality, self-deception, self-criticism). She's not unlikeable, and her character arc is well-rounded from beginning to end (her performance in the final battle was impressive, and she provided Asuna with weapon support). In the end, Kirito unleashed his sword skills, projecting both awesomeness and shining benevolence, and the message was delivered effectively. P.S. Actually, before watching the movie, I was hoping to see more of Asuna...

It's been ten years since the first season aired on July 7, 2012. Back to SAO, to where it all began. *Progressive* is a detailed supplement to the original series' Aincrad arc, acting as both a spin-off and a prequel. It unfolds from Asuna's perspective and introduces a new character, Mito. The first half focuses on yuri undertones and the bond between Asuna and Mito, while the second half marks the fateful encounter with Kirito. The animation is top-notch, delivering exhilarating action sequences, and Yuki Kajiura's score enhances the cruel reality of the battles, especially against the carnivorous plant and the final boss. From the whirlwind of the Black and White Swordsman to the dwindling reputation during the Alicization arc, it's a bittersweet reflection. Unknowingly, we've reached the age to bid farewell to our *chuunibyou* days...
