Interesting news. Wonder if that’s going to be a good series as even though it of course contains a ton of material we haven’t yet seen, it’s still basically a retelling of the original series. That said, I’m a huge SAO fan, so am still looking forward to this😊
I am looking forward to this too. I never read the Progressive series, but I did hear it has stories that wasn’t mentioned in the original light novel. I heard it also shows more details with Kirito and Asuna relationship. I am die hard fan like you 😀
