Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

TL;DR: If you liked SAO, you'll probably like this too. And if you like Asuna x Kirito, you have to watch it. __________________ Really nice movie and definitely a worthy sequel for SAO. The story pretty much resembles the first two seasons, but I guess that's to be expected. There is some new technology (although this time it is AR instead of VR, giving it a nice change), some villain behind it and in the end, Kirito saves the day. While watching the story unfold, you get to see more and more how it is actually tied to the events of SAO. Also, it gets pretty emotional in between.As it is a movie, there is less time to spare than in a full season of a series, so their friends play not that big of a role apart from joining them in the fights. Instead, it mostly focuses on how Kirito and Asuna handle what happened to Asuna, and what Kirito tries in order to fix it.

Minor spoiler: Their relationship goes one step further as well.
