Sword Art Online: Progressive - Aria of a Starless Night

I'm one of the dudes that took a break at the end of Gun Gale Online. Nothing to be heard out of SAO, after that time. For me, at least. I'm the kind of guy that forgets, so I heard Progressive coming to teathers in 2023 and I was like, "ok, I want to see this" and went to Aria of Starless Night. As a fact, I just left the movie hall 20 minutes ago. One thing that I will most probably not forget is the sensation. Sensation that one gets when you watch the first of the many episodes from a series, sensation when you get when you finish the series or the sensation as of the memory of what you had been watching. In 2014 when I think I first watched the series, I felt it. Felt it all the way, as a reminder of how good it was. Felt it at Gun Gale Online then pause.. long pause. Forgot about the thing. Present moment, and I felt it again watching Aria of a Starless Night. 10/10. If you know, you know! I'm so glad I did!

(Sorry for using translator) This is the best I've seen of SAO, I'm not a fan of the series but this movie left me impressed. This is like fixing a story, it doesn't necessarily have to have new things, but fix what you already have and make good characters and a better story. The soundtrack, animation and characters are well done, here you can see that the main concept is executed throughout the movie, it's just amazing. The other one from Progressive wasn't so bad but it felt like it lacked more, but I can watch this one over and over again without disliking it. Seriously, I was very impressed.
