Title: Sword Art Online Alicization: War of the Underworld
Episodes: 23
Season: 2nd season of this arc
Plot: since this is a continuation of Alicization, you can refer to the plot here:
And continuation here: The final load test... The war between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory has engulfed Underworld entirely. The battle has shifted course with the Dark Territory army led by Gabriel, who seeks to capture Alice, the Priestess of Light, against Asuna and the Human Empire forces fighting to save Underworld.
My Review: 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙 5/5
Aside from the first season of SAO (it holds a special place in my heart) this would have to be the best one yet! With stunning graphics and a very intelligent storyline, I would want for this to rank up the top of the recent anime I have watched this 2021.
‼️MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
(read at your own risk)
For some reason, I feel like you can compare Kirito to Superman of the virtual world. A person who has the greatest and kindest heart, who tries to save everyone he can any way he can, extremely overpowered and is loved by many.
Growing up reading comics as a child, I can remember this one issue when Superman died and the whole world lost hope and turned into chaos (not refering to the movie with Batman). This is like the same thing, but yet it’s refreshing.
It’s nice to see (in a way) Kirito being out of the picture for almost the whole season, and shining the spotlight to other characters in this anime (Asuna, Leafa, Sinon, Klein, and even minor character roles!) And of course, when you need him most, as cheesy as it may sound, he’ll be there to save you (with help of course from the people around him).
Another thing I love about the Alicization arc is that it’s not full harem this time. It’s really refreshing and comforting to see Eugeo and Kirito’s brotherly love for one another! Finally another male major cast!
Did I talk about the graphics? Super amazing edge of your seat experience! Fight scenes are definitely full of excitement and thrills! The ending was a cliffhanger but it won’t ruin any of the eps you’ve watched thus far.
The plot on the other hand is quite complicated as I’ve tried to explain in my previous review. If you’re not into sci-fi genres then this might give you a headache, but if you love SAO, then you can still watch it without worrying about technicalities!
Do I recommend it?
YES!
Cosplans:
Asuna with wings 😊
