Sword Art Online Progressive's Theatrical Debut is a Big Hit With Fans

✖

Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night has finally premiered in theaters across North America, and has already become a huge hit with fans. With the third season of the anime bringing the longest story in the TV series to an end, fans were wondering just what could be coming next. The franchise then surprised when it announced that it would be moving forward by moving backward and adapting series creator Reki Kawahara's official companion series, Sword Art Online Progressive, that gives a much more detailed take on the events of the series' very first arc, Aincrad.

Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night is the first in a confirmed new franchise for the series as the second entry of this film series has already been announced for a release next year. It's a good thing that fans outside of Japan are already receiving the film as highly as they are, and it's clear from the initial responses that a second film in this particular series is a good move. With the film now making its debut, the reviews from fans who were able to attend screenings are positive for sure.
