Sword Art Online‘s massive Alicization saga has finally come to an end, and fans are bidding farewell to this season after the final episode of War of Underworld. Alicization had been the longest release in the series to date as the third season of the series told its story over four different cours of episodes across a couple of years. It was one of the biggest undertakings of the franchise overall as it was the first time the anime had committed so fully to one particular story, and thus is ended up being one of the most successful stories in the series overall.
