Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online premiered this April abroad, and it was simulcast on sites such as Crunchyroll. The project was the first to go live after the release of Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale, the franchise's debut film. The curious spin-off quickly gained rave reviews from fans, but no announcement has been made on whether Gun Gale Online will continue beyond a single season.

For those unfamiliar with Sword Art Online, the series was originally created by Reki Kawahara with illustrations provided by abec. The series follows a boy named Kirito after he and thousands of gamers get trapped in a virtual reality video game known as Sword Art Online. The gamers must band together to defeat the game's final level to escape, but Kirito and his guild learn there is more behind their prison than they were originally told.

The series began as a series of light novels published through Dengeki Bunko in 2009, and has been adapted into eight different manga series by ASCII Media Works and Kadokawa. The series has been licensed for an English language release by Yen Press, and has been adapted into an anime series by A-1 Pictures.
