(Update 11/30 1:45 PM PST: Sorry for any inconvenience caused by Google Drive's view limits. Each link should reset after a little bit, but I've uploaded it in a few more places to help spread the load. Sorry again for the trouble!)

We did it! We SWEnniversaried!

Thank you so much to all y'all that hung out with us while we slowly lost our minds!

Here's some links to both the things we premiered tonight! I'm real tired, so sorry if I screw up the links here. I promised I'll fix them when my brain starts working again! Love you guys!

Comments

Thank you for making me click the link and realize it was a different show. 200% agreed we need more

Dboi

Oh my gosh for 3 months I've thought "Smartphone" was just a phone version of SAOA for some reason. That is the hardest I've laughed in a whiiiiiile

Dboi

Smartphone made me considder getting a lobotomy via .357. Please make more.

GuntherTheSpelunker

Let's face it asuna is best girl in this. Nom nom.

Jordan Stack

Holy shit made respect to LennonDrake on Suguha. Fucking phenomenal performance. And hell this version of the storyline is thousand times better than the incest shit from the original. Suguha is way more compelling.

Alex Keller

Can you please add some new links? I'm struggling to find one that lets me download

Sam Burnett

Well done, guys. Well done. You should seriously be hired for remaking SAO

Alexander Lindblom

"So how dare you accuse me of hating you when you CLEARLY never gave a shit about ME?!" Never once did I ever expect Sword Art Online - a parody of Sword Art Online, at that - to give me chills and make me gape in awe at the amazing quality of the writing.

Alexander Lindblom

Also kiritos Jersey accent rivals my Boston accent with how good it is

Serg T

I honestly thought The smartphone link was just a different format. I'm so glad it isn't

Serg T

How DARE you make me care about SAO characters!? Christ, that was a good episode.

Zabrudo

"Hey, FUCK YOU!!... That uh, cut surprisingly deep. Well played." Kirito. But you really are a bunch of sons of bitches for ending on that note, for both the heartwrenchingness of it, and the cliffhanger. I hope you're pleased with yourselves lol. In all honesty, I feel like because of the whole willingness to be racist thing on y'alls part--had the original been this good--you would've gone for the incest joke, oddly enough lol. Because I feel like THIS is what we should've gotten. Like, I wanna say, "Reki... my dude? You didn't have to drop the ball so hard, what SWE did was FINE," haha. The backstory wasn't even that great, actually--or layered, I should say. SWE just played their parts really well. Kinda threw the grandpa under the bus, but these are some fucked up kids,.. KIDS. Which means the adults, or lack thereof, got some a'splainin to do #SorryGramps But awesome jobs, guys, damn. And since it's not as highlighted in the comments as I'd like, LOVVVVEEE.... the interaction with Asuna and Shoji lmao, I was scared for him the whole time 😅 #nomnom

The-Buddyguard

Son of a bitch, haha

The-Buddyguard

I'm genuinely curious if they'll turn Death Gun into the King of Ashes, and/or bring back Fluffles, haha. TBH, I love that arc, and I hope they will reach GGO, one day. But those are my top questions, cause otherwise... I don't know, it just seems like a no-brainer to me? But we'll see what they cook up.

The-Buddyguard

Dude, this was so much better than the original story.

Corinth

I know it started off as a funny haha, parody of sao but your love and storytelling actually made me cry at the end of episode 17. All I can say is well done

Jonathon Gillard

Absolute perfection. This is the SAO the world deserves. Comical, beautiful, relatable and emotional. Can't wait for the next one!!

Creem

I love the male voice actor taking the place of samurai girl. Unfortunately is a one off though :(

Jamey S

Been watching saoa since episode 2 and have been in love with it, honestly enjoy it 10x more than sao, I'm so glad I joined the Patreon to watch this latest episode, absolutely beautiful voice acting by everyone and the final scene was intense, great job everyone and I can't wait to see what you have in store for the finale

Kyle Largin

I was bracing myself for the tentacle-slug scene, wondering how you could possibly salvage that, but by gosh you pulled it off. But the latter half of the episode... you were not kidding when you talked about "adding a little bit of heart and drama" to the funny stuff during the marathon, because gosh DARN. I especially loved the symmetry of Kirito assuming Sugu got into the game solely to mess with him, just like she thought the same of him several episodes earlier.

Nonsen

really liked smartphone and I think it has the potential to be the next saoa, the only thing I didn't like is the whole joke about (woman sounds like man haha) but everything else landed. good job!

crabking

I'll see you guys in december!!!!! :D (This is just a prediction btw...)

Shiro Nyanko

Oh.. my god... I was not expecting such good voice acting at the end, I mustve rewinded it like four or five times that was so good! I used to get really annoyed at how long it took to get new episodes from you guys but HATS OFF! It was absolutely worth it, thank you for making one of my favoirte anime so much better

DeAndre G

Oh my god! I’m so glad I became a Patreon! I was confused on what the Smartphone was. But it was an abridged Smartphone Isekai! And it was hilarious!

RockyJMoon

I can't wait for kirito to remove the profanity filter as soon as he gets admin privileges. Great episode as always :)

Eltimpste

😭😭😭 I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭😭😭

knghtbrd

That last episode omg had some great comedy moments but that bit at the end had punched my heart right in the dick

Jack Glanvill

holy shit, this video was amazing! really glad i took the plunge and got the patreon, worth every cent

LupusEternal

Man, the strained relationship between Sugo and Kazuto is so much more compelling than one-sided incest.

Marquee

AMAZING Job guys!!!

Black Mag3

Would you rather they punch your heart in the knee?

Christopher Donald Kelley

Somebody get you a million buckaroos cause holy crap, was that amazing.

Christopher Donald Kelley

Jesus Christ that’s the most intense acting I’ve seen in an abridged series

Jackson S.

goddamn. i love it when comedy shows go for the throat because you keep waiting for the punchline when shit gets real and when it doesnt come, it hits hard. amazing job!

Virginia Doran

oh snap, worth the wait, i have to say it though, at the end, it was heavy enough for even me to not want the outro, you guys have truely made this show better, i pay for more soon.

Steven Smith

Seriously. Watching it again how dare you punch my heart in the dick again

Serg T

Fuck me that was heavy

Fairy Nuff

jesus christ episode 17 was just a better show than anything SAO has ever pproduced

CadeXR

Adding to the chorus of praise. This show is seriously amazing, and this is one of the best episodes in awhile. The dramatic ending almost makes one forget how funny the rest of the episode was.

Kevin Cronin

The SAOA episode was PHENOMENAL, but as I’m sure you’ve heard that a lot by now, I want to provide feedback for the smartphone episode. Specifically the choice of intro music was just PERFECT XD.

Abdulrahman Al-Hashash

SAO 17 was brilliantly done and is a compelling and story with superior-to-original writing. Smartphone is an unhinged fever dream. I love them both.

Austin Schafer

Damn, that was just impressive. I can't believe that you guys ended on that note too. I can't get over how good this series is man, suppose ill have to rewatch the entire series in 8 months when the next episode comes out. Love the work, keep it up lads.

Xaviro_

SWE proving, once again, that they are much better at writing SAO than Reki Kawahara himself. PHENOMINAL episode. I can't wait for the next episode! I hope it comes soon, but I know masterpieces like this take time.

Kaijuka

This was a great job. Well freaking done. especially to Suguha VA. I almost cried.

Noirspectr3

The actress playing his sister absolutely killed it in the scene where she's rushing out of the entry to the world tree.

Daryl Sawyer

I was always worried about how you guys were going to deal with the creepy love conflict and I have to say you hit it out of the park. Loved the episode you guys did a great job.

Shawn Rutten

Yeah, it's still sister love, but real family love, not weird Japanese incest.

Daryl Sawyer

WTF where's the incest? I'm very disappointed. 😔

Jordan Nunez

The ending was amazing and hit really close to home for me because my sibling and I went through this exact thing. At some point, she started distancing herself (also mostly by only playing video games and ignoring the world around her) and even though we were close as kids, we barely talked as teenagers. I eventually realised that I could get her attention by teasing her and making her angry, so we fell into that dynamic. Obviously not great behaviour on my part either, we were both dumb kids and acting like assholes in the end. So what I am basically trying to say is that the plotline felt very real to me and I could emphasize with Suguha, even though the way she handled the situation was obviously wrong. But hey - they too are just dumb kids. I am really looking forward to seeing how their relationship will develop from this point on.

Cat

Wow, that ending. And now we have to sit with it for a few months >.<

UmbralKitten

Times ticking shogi… NOM NOM 😈

Alex Brummett

A brilliant episode. These were the weird and creepy bits of SAO proper where I wondered how you would use the source material and make it not weird and creepy. You did it perfectly. I hope there’s going to be an SAOA17 post mortem. I love hearing about how you create these masterpieces.

Chris W

Long wait but great job. love how you spun the original sister love angle to fit the characters you made. heavy on the feels but works really well. keep it up and i cant wait to see how you finish the season.

Nickolas Mueller

That was an absolutely phenomenal episode, you guys. Hats off! The ending was heartrending, and I love it. Happy anniversary, and a toast to All of you and your future projects.

Udo Schmidt

haven't watched smartphone yet (will get around to it tonight!!!!!!) but that was an absolutely phenomenal episode; the subversion of the "scene" with shoji was unreal and the ending felt like a punch in the stomach in the best way. you guys absolutely killed it 🥰 (happy ten years btw!!)

Harry Bond

Holy shit, that was awesome and heart wrenching at the same time! I honestly feel this is miles better than the original.

Emanuel Vitorino

Thank you for this, you're all wonderful ❤️

Matt Dodson

This is some of the best that the voice acting in this show has ever been. LennonDrake gave the performance of a lifetime in that once scene (you know the one).

Duplighost

I'll never forget during the stream when they talked about removing their bumper jokes. FORESHADOWING.

Richard Daw

I expected the great comedy, but I did not see that gut-punch ending at all. Well done. Now to go find that asshole chopping onions in my office...

Avalanche

I think I am going to steal the part where Kirito said, "(Puts hand on shoulder) Hey! Hey. Listen here. I really don't have time for this."

Mehmet

I though this was supposed to be for laughs. How dare you make me feel things.

sean cobb

By the Gods I loved how much feeling was in that ending. I wondered how the reveal was going to be done and I must say 10/10 stuck the landing.

Victoria Denison

Wow. Never expected to have a silent cry to one of these. Holy shit was that good. Also, smartphone was so good I was late to work as a result. Worth it

Thor Budal

That ending was uh....uncomfortably real for me. Good Job, seriously, these episodes are great. Gonna go think about life for awhile now.

Reny the Fox

Damnit, now I gotta wait a year for episode 18. How dare y'all make your content this good.

JoylessBurrito

Now I want more

Jose

As someone who peaced out of the stream during the Smartphone section (having assumed that the special was for a new abridged series for a show I don't care for instead of Ep 17), I was pretty conflicted when I bit the bullet to watch it now on patreon (it was my aversion to paying for things that are free later against 10 or so straight hours of hype and a subsequent blue balling.) Glad to say that, even though I'm a little annoyed at the fake-out, the episode was worth the price. I always assumed that you were writing up something big for the Suguha and Kirito reveal in particular and I'm really glad that I was right. I know you all said that you don't see your own work as being superior to the original but I think I can say that, objectively speaking, the conflict between Suguha and Kirito in SAOA is way better than the forbidden romance BS in canon.

Shahryar Basith

I clicked on smartphone and then when I tried watching episode 17 it said allowed number of playbacks were excited so I guess I'll wait till the youtube upload then

Shadowsofpain

that ending killed me. that voice acting is insane

JayAtFlight

Jesus Christ dude….. that was intense. So when’s ep 18?

Brandon Clark

Yo this episode legit had me crying...well played...

Jacob Merrette

So with that ending, episode 18 is coming out, uh, tomorrow, right?

numdegased

damn. just damn.

Atlas

That ending hit me right on the feels, my brother used to be my best friend and we've grown apart too, so that scene had me in tears, man I should call him. Great job you guys, keep it up!

Mel QG

what an episode. Amazing work, I cried during their argument

SpineCraft

I'm satisfied with today, and the last 10 years of your videos. You did allot of good!

JamesAaron

Damn, that ending! I think you guys out performed the normal dub this time on the feels.

Daith

Fire episode

RUG05

Had a blast for the 12+ hr stream that totally wasn't a swebathon. Both premiers were amazing. Hope all y'all got good rest after all that.

William Carl Davis II

ALSO! We must save my family

Mark1O1filmes

I wonder if they will ever get to GGO I mean... Kirito looking like a girl and how they will do the whole sinnon charcter. Im really curius

Mark1O1filmes

Great Job guys. this episode was fire!

Simone Noli

I am just glad that the spontaneous swebathon didn't kill Izzy, too much.

BJ

Use the dropbox link

Creampuff

Suguha is kirito’s sister/cousin Sugou is the weird pedo

helvetica

As someone who read the manga a long long time ago, back when the manga first started serializing, no. No you don’t. The original is a very cookie cutter harem op isekai that’s just kinda boring after a while.

helvetica

I remember reading the manga of smartphone back when it first came out, and dropping it cause it got boring(and not a big fan of harems) but that abridged was the most crackhead thing I’ve seen and so much funnier than the original by far lol XD Also sao17 was just amazing! It was just awesome how you guys reworked a lot of the icky stuff from the original. And I’m not gonna lie, the last scene was very emotional but I kept being reminded that this originally was the scene where she confessed to him and that just made me start laughing lol XD

helvetica

this has been the greatest episode of SAOA ever made, you have elevated one of the worst plots in anime to something truly great and I can't wait for the next one. 10 more years SomethingWitty.

michael

Thanks to Miley for that tip for bypassing the limit. And thanks to SWE for an awesome way of marking the anniversary with an episode that just knocks it out of the park with how the slug scene and especially the relationship between Kazuto and Sugo were reworked and made better than the original. Way to rise above the source material and well worth the extra wait!

Stormfalcon

Pretty disappointed i subscribed so I could watch saoa 17 and it won't let me ;(

WizardDresden

And the episode was absolutely awesome! Even a strong ending to it that felt better than the original :D

Miley Hollenberg

WAAAAANT. I guess I'll check again tomorrow. ^.^

Daryl Sawyer

Subbed specifically for this, hoping you guys can fix the vid

Aly Aboumansour

guess I'll have to watch it later :(

Austin Schafer

Stupid limits.

robert fulton

I can't see, stupid playback limits

Mason Diaz

Not only has the playback quota been reached, so has the download quota. Christ guys, it must be good lol.

Lord.of.Cretins

Didn't work for me

Jordan Mayo

You can just download the episode and watch it that way if google drive playback is still overloaded^^

Lukas Link

Phenomenal job as always!

Artur Artborg

Ok. Smartphone is hilarious. Do I need to watch the original anime now? is that going to improve the funny even more? Please tell me no <.<

Lukas Link

I'M FUCKING DYING WHO VOICED TOYA I NEED TO KNOW HE'S FUCKING AMAZING. Also, holy shit, 17 got fuckin' REAL. I was wondering how they were going to handle the relationship between Kirito and Tsugu (because incest is obviously off the table), and I am thoroughly impressed and my heart hurts for the both of them.

TheBasementWeeb

You can just download the episode and watch it that way if google drive playback is still overloaded^^ Also a really fun episode! ...except for the ending, but that is good too.

Lukas Link

It seems that playback is not currently possible due to Google Drive limitations. Hm. Perfect time to binge the entire series in preparation again.

ThatDino

L google drive playback limits.

Deity

I cant watch it! It says the number of playbacks has been exceeded.

Dane

SAO was good, but Smartphone was OUTLANDISH!! My god, do more of that show! I can’t even watch the original now because of this gift you’ve given us! Happy early birthday to me indeed!

Kartik Saraf

Gutted that I was unable to join you for the anniversary stream. You have this inconvenient habit of streaming at a perfectly reasonable time for yourselves. Very selfish indeed. Looking forward to watching SAOA17 after work tonight (this afternoon by your clock) Thank you for your excellent work.

Chris W

I love Grimmjack as Shoji!

Mark Siefert

Been a fan since I saw a clip from episode 4 (where he goes up against titan's hand). To this day, SAO Abridged is one of my favorite ongoing series and is so happy to see this show continue.

jish55

I'm legit in tears right now. AGAIN! You guys are my favorite writers in anime and I fucking mean that!! Holy shit

Ines Parker

Holy shit, the final scene in 17 is just so damn good. I just sat there, floored by how impressive that acting was, at least imo. Y'all are insanely talented. 10/10

Sean M.

You did an amazing job reworking the love triangle bulls**t. While watching, I got an idea of how you're going to take down Sugō. Livestream him confessing his crimes. Either way I can't wait for more!

Tyler Owens

THIS IS FINE, I AM FIIIIINE, EVERYTHING. IS. FINE.

WeeBa

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I NEED MORE!!!!!!

Alexander Holliday

That ending is just ... incredible

Jonah Weiss

Iconic

thevoidbender

All the feels

United Federation

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Y'all do delightful things over there. Now you just have to keep being funny for another 10 years, so good luck with that. Mwahahaha

Embeth Arreyn

Damn you hit it out of the park with the emotions in this one

Hercule Pyro

I somehow went to bed at 9pm last night and woke up to this I’m so happy

Madeline Celestia

man you guys certainly got revenge on us for all the SWEbathon shit we pulled during the stream with episode 17
