New Sword Art Online Releases Two New Promos

The hype for the new Sword Art Online movie, is growing more and more every day, so much so, it feels like everyone on the internet is talking about it. The movie's official website has been dropping pictures and videos at random to keep the fans appeased until the release, and monday it began streaming a new trailer and commercial. We get a look at the new villain, some awesome looking AR, and of course some fluid fight scenes. Both videos are full of epic action and sneak peaks at the new season, as well as feature the new theme song by LiSA "Catch the Moment".

Aniplex of America describes the movie's story:

"In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba, called NerveGear. It was the first full-dive system, and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.

In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.

Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games…"

Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale will open in Japan on February 18, and the film will screen in United States for a one-night event on March 9.
