I don't know how far into writing the Gun Gale arc stuff you are, if you even plan to go on to season 2, but I thought of a funny way to subvert the harem genre for that segment of the story: Sinon is ONLY interested romantically while she thinks Kirito is a girl. Is a different way to do it to the last few times, can't let that get too old.

2025-06-01 06:23:37 +0000 UTCI have a theory. You guys can DM me to tell me if I’m right or wrong. We’ve established that people can hack each others accounts in SAO abridged and one player can switch with another player in regards to their avatars. What if when Kirito gets system admin access, he switches places with Asuna so SHE can take down sugou?

2024-12-29 03:01:39 +0000 UTCYou know I'm 70% surr tbis series is the only reason SOA is still any relevent

2024-12-16 20:00:34 +0000 UTCI really hope they do one full version
Garrroshe
2024-12-12 18:39:42 +0000 UTCI mean, even the best case release window for SAOA 19 will technically be "next year" because there is no way we're finishing it this month, lol
Something Witty Entertainment
2024-12-11 08:17:14 +0000 UTCI truly wish there was something I can do to help you guys get the next episodes up. Dream job. But for now, i guess the best i can do is tell you to shut up and take my money lol
Joseph Mulvaney
2024-12-11 03:24:55 +0000 UTCSeeing as scripting for 2 episodes is done and recording for 19 is mostly done, I hope it is only 6 months.
James T Williams
2024-12-10 21:25:43 +0000 UTCsee yall next year!

2024-12-09 12:35:04 +0000 UTCI just wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment!

2024-12-08 12:38:14 +0000 UTCSqueekers being a 9/11 1st responder almost had me rolling out of my chair. You guys are brilliant. 11/10 can't wait to see what you guys do in the future
Nick Haufen
2024-12-08 03:04:51 +0000 UTCAh yes, sweet Zelda, Nathaniel and Superfly. We were so very very happy. Until Zelda asked me if I wanted to join the Columbia Record Club.
KM
2024-12-08 01:49:12 +0000 UTCWhat @LoneNeko said. I was really hoping they'd have an actual intro sequence with that bittersweet cover
KM
2024-12-08 01:43:40 +0000 UTCAbsolutely Amazing, you guys put your hearts and souls into these episodes, and we appreciate it. Sorry about copyright hell. We hope you continue and that things get better.
Chad
2024-12-06 20:11:08 +0000 UTCI think they mean the version in this episode

2024-12-06 01:23:34 +0000 UTCThe karma bit was amazing. It had me laughing. And the funeral was amazing. RIP Squeekers may he live on through his children Nathanial and Super Fly.

2024-12-05 15:19:44 +0000 UTCI forgot almost everything about Alfheim Online. Relearning it with the best SAO version is a treat every time!
Pascal Renaud
2024-12-05 11:19:56 +0000 UTCThat was an amazing episode. Can we get a full version of Acoustic Real Life, cause.... man... That hit.
Kayla Dickens
2024-12-05 04:38:01 +0000 UTCThis is a good video but come on a cliffhanger?
Javier Moreno
2024-12-05 02:16:55 +0000 UTCGreat episode as usual. SAOA is the only abridged series I still actively watch and look forward to. Thanks to y’all whole team for the awesome work y’all do.

Zephyr Windstar
2024-12-03 17:57:42 +0000 UTCI’m sorry was that an albuquerque reference 😂
Matthew Morrison
2024-12-03 09:02:35 +0000 UTCBrother, you are one of those people that just get it, you understand how an abridged should work on every level, not just comedy, but drama, heartfelt and sincere, to ascend past simple parody into a different beast.
Kevin Prehm
2024-12-03 07:41:33 +0000 UTCThank you for being so understanding (and don't you worry: we've got plenty more SAOA coming your way)!

2024-12-03 05:21:33 +0000 UTCFair enough! Nobody can ever say you half-ass anything you make, it's all excellent. Keep on as you do, just *please* don't get too side-tracked with other stuff.

colossalnate
2024-12-02 21:44:44 +0000 UTCI like that idea also. However the other projects are also expanding their genius to new people who may not check out saoa.

Something Witty Entertainment
2024-12-02 03:50:15 +0000 UTCSAOA is always our priority, but there are times when we cannot work on it (problems scheduling actors, issues with editing software, etc.) AND we sometimes need to mix it up to keep ourselves creatively fresh. If we stopped making side projects like MHAA, it wouldn't mean more SAOA, it would just mean more burnout for us and less content for you.
Something Witty Entertainment
2024-12-02 03:49:31 +0000 UTCI wish you guys would focus on this instead of slowing it down to work on other projects. You gotta focus on one thing and finish it before moving onto another or nothing will ever get finished, at least not in a reasonable time. But hey, it was *amazing*. Well done!
Sammygirl
2024-12-01 10:50:32 +0000 UTCIf and when they make it there, I'll be there. I've already committed a decade into this show, what's one more?
Rat
2024-12-01 04:13:07 +0000 UTCMan, between that and all of the shit him and Sinon have gone through, I'm dying to see how the SWE team ends up handling Phantom Bullet. It's going to be top notch!
The Dragon's Fang
2024-12-01 04:10:44 +0000 UTCWas that Logan singing the intro or a commission?! Either way we need the full version!
OxieOverrated
2024-11-30 19:54:33 +0000 UTCThis was, a motherfudging masterpiece. The part with squicker (the bat i don't remember the name) leafa and naga getting together, the reinforcement coming in because they feel indebted to the one who saved their friend, everything was purrfect
Draze
2024-11-30 19:25:39 +0000 UTCEverything about this is so good!
Matthew
2024-11-30 11:35:31 +0000 UTCIm not sure how, but you guys continue to get better. I'm amazed
Throne Room Ministries
2024-11-29 18:09:06 +0000 UTCAbsolutely worth the wait and the $5 sub to spite youtube’s insistence on being spineless cowards. First: Oh my god you handled Sugu vs. Kazu so well!! Like YES OH MY GOD HE WAS E I G H T AND ASTHMATIC like bruh of COURSE he left a violent contact sport Second: Recon, sweetheart I’m so happy for you! Third, and most importantly: Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the “we all know someone who was in SAO, of course we’re gonna fuckin help the dude who saved them” because YEAH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! Between people whose friends played SAO maybe even Sylves and Cait Siths who themselves played SAO and were (in)directly saved by Kirito’s actions? Like EVERY permutation of “Kirito” was taken! Dude’s an actual legend, and of course gamers are gonna try to take the name because of course they are! god this was good. Total sidenote: I’ve been watching SAO:A since the beginning. Eleven years. I was nineteen, fresh out of high school. I’m thirty years old now, and “bitch wake up new SAOA dropped” still puts the same stupidfuck giddy smile on my face. Thank you. Keep up the good work, and a happy holiday season to everyone on the team. On to 19!!💙💙💙💙💙

2024-11-29 10:00:45 +0000 UTCThe wait was truly worth it.
RockyJMoon
2024-11-29 03:40:12 +0000 UTCThe first time they did Run Spot Run was hilarious. But I actually just absolutely adore Leafa's deadpan delivery of it every other time since. It's truly hilarious!

Taylor Lynn
2024-11-26 16:48:31 +0000 UTClearning about SAOA just before 17 dropped was basically the perfect time to get into the entire SWE catalog, finally seeing the conclusion to the collective blue balls y'all gave us is like a part of my heart was sewn back together. there's too much good in this to mention, absolute cinema

Ty Delanty
2024-11-25 15:33:54 +0000 UTCI was genuinely surprised that it wasn’t the actual reason in the show. It seems like the perfect reason for these kinds of people to rally behind to help him instead of just helping solve an argument and supplying prep for a quest

Electro_Static
2024-11-24 19:52:22 +0000 UTCI believe they commissioned some artists to make that scene from scratch. Like they did for the glitched player in episode 11 and the forest folk in episode 15
Mica Anne
2024-11-24 18:39:14 +0000 UTCWhere did they find the material for that scene? I don't remember there being any salamander funeral in the original material.

2024-11-24 09:56:54 +0000 UTCRight. Though Ubisoft certainly did not object, either.
Lunatic 0verlord
2024-11-24 07:51:18 +0000 UTCOkay, that cliffhanger hurt! But I guess since the rest of the episode was a bit healing I can let it slide. A moment of silence, please, for Squeaker. Clearly, a better bat hero than the Batman.
TheMagicHat
2024-11-24 07:35:12 +0000 UTCMan this was a good episode. Loads of character development from Kirito and Suguha. I honestly am excited to see how Asuna and Sugu interact, will they click over their mutual teasing of Kirito? Who knows!
Tyler Herman
2024-11-24 05:42:13 +0000 UTCProbably Sugou's, he had to find some way to buy Asuna.
Tyler Herman
2024-11-24 05:38:25 +0000 UTCthe other players saying "we all knew someone trapped in SAO" made me genuinely fucking tear up. its a criticism i hear all the time (why didn't he just tell the truth??) but you guys managed to spin it in a way that was genuinely emotional and funny at the same time. absolutely incredible.
Blue
2024-11-24 03:13:03 +0000 UTCThe call backs to the original "My wounds heal faster than you can make them" made this amazing. Kirito and Suguha's reunion felt nice after a year of wondering how they'd make up after the nuclear meltdown last episode. And that ending...
Shahryar Basith
2024-11-24 02:54:14 +0000 UTClove how much effort and soul you put into the work. I wish i could help it go faster, but I'm happy to wait 10 years as long as each episode is made with the creativity and fun that you put in. lets be honest here. The original is great, however it has some...problems. Just like team four star did with DBZ, i see your edit as my head cannon now. less cringe, more comedy, and better story. Great work everyone!

Jack Glanvill
2024-11-24 00:06:11 +0000 UTCThat cliffhanger is diabolical, but MAN is it well-done. I was near to rolling at the still shot of Leafa at the end of her rope. Without question, the way this episode went is far better-written than anything Reki could've dreamt of at this point in his career. It just has me wondering what the character progression will look like if you folks decide on abridging Phantom Bullet and beyond

chrisvanart
2024-11-23 18:25:12 +0000 UTCThey originally hoped that episode 18 could end the arc entirely, but the script was long enough that they decided it was three episodes. The good news is that the other two are even mostly recorded, so odds are it will be a shorter wait, maybe 8-10 months or so?
