Sword Art Online will soon be returning to television for the final half of the War of Underworld arc, and Adult Swim has debuted a new promo teasing the anime’s big return to the Toonami programming block. The War of Underworld arc wrapped up its run in Japan following the Summer anime season, so this means that fans of the English dub of the series will finally get to see how it all ends for themselves with the next Toonami broadcast. After getting started earlier this January, Sword Art Online is finally coming back to the block.
