Sword art offline Ordinal Scale follows the same format as the previous versions of Sword art Offline, namely the format of a newsshow. This time it is just a 15 minute episode about the events in the movie. The story this time is that they're holding a newsshow to make you enjoy the movie more. The most important part are the playback corner and the life counseling. Both of these segments focus on the romance aspects of the movie instead of the actual interesting parts which is a shame. The humor is still bad. The only good part is that they explain what the buffthat Yuuna gives during fights entails.

The characters are Kirito, Asuna, Yui and Yuuna.

The animation is very poor since it's a chibi animation and the only noticeable animation is the characters talking or changing facial expression. The voice acting is fine.

Overall this isn't worth watching. The entire episode focuses almost solely on romance while that wasn't the highlight of the movie and the humor is bad. Only bother watching this if you liked the previous seasons of sword art offline but I can't recommend this to anyone else.
