Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online Anime Review
Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online: Actually darn enjoyable
I'grand however adequately new to anime, and from everything I've gathered this might be a bit of controversial one. What I mean by that is that at time of writing and the electric current state of SAO I retrieve that this spinoff is amend than the master show.
*Ducks the slings and arrows*
A twelve episode spinoff from 1 of the major anime franchises this is another story within Gun Gale Online and features none of the principal shows characters.
This was no incertitude a gamble, with little to tie it to SOA other than the setting it could have fell flat and from everything I've heard from the anime community many recall information technology did.
I still really enjoyed information technology, a short single story spread across a dozen episodes actually worked. Information technology tells the story of a girl who ventures into the online game and becomes a whirlwind sensation with her abnormally tiny and overwhelming cute avatar.
The story is oddly dark in places merely softened upwardly with cutesy visuals and Lenns sickly sweet vox. The activity is splendid and frequent and it'due south very well paced which is something you lot certainly tin can't say near SAO!
I really enjoyed this and would love to meet Lenn and co back. A rollercoaster ride, an emotional story, great characters and a actually nice surprise of a show.
The Proficient:
Action packed
Well scripted
A lot of fun
Nifty story
The Bad:
Nothing springs to mind

Moe fun with guns
This series is set some time afterward the events in the original 'Sword Art Online' when the flaws that meant people couldn't exit the game and death in the game really meant death take been fixed. It is centred on Karen Kohiruimaki a daughter who is self-conscious of her peak so seeks out a virtual reality game where she can play a short character. Her graphic symbol is Llenn and the game is Gun Gale Online. In this game there are tournaments where players form teams and fight information technology out till only one team has any members surviving. In her get-go such contest she is teamed with a histrion who goes by the name 'Thousand'; he informs her that somebody will murder him in existent life if he dies in the game.
If yous weren't that keen on the original 'Sword Art Online' don't be put off this as it is finer a totally new series that simply happens to be fix in the same reality and feature a virtual reality game. There is plenty of activity and it gets tense even when there is no threat of real death for the vast majority of characters. Llenn is fun protagonist even if fans of realism might non exist also keen on her entirely pink costume and matching P-90 submachinegun! The other characters are nicely varied; gun-nuts, kids just playing a game and even real soldiers using it for battlefield simulation. Given the cuteness of our protagonist at that place are a few surprising moments... I certainly wasn't expecting a mini-tutorial on how to sever somebody'due south femoral artery with a knife; I wouldn't be surprised if that gets cutting from any Britain DVD release! The story plays out nicely over the course of two such tournaments with the plot deepening equally nosotros learn more most the characters. The character designs are pretty good and the animation is solid. Overall I'd recommend this to anybody wanting virtual reality activeness without the cliché of in game death meaning existent expiry.
These comments are based on watching in Japanese with English language subtitles.

Quality Spinoff
It is apace forgotten that information technology is a elementary spinoff and with a construction of strong characters, with their traumas and the manner they reconstruct themselves in the virtual world is inspiring.
It is worth watching, fifty-fifty without references to the globe of Sword Fine art Online.

Just call it Gun Gale Online
Karen Kohiruimaki e'er felt out of place in the real earth. Due to her farthermost height, she found it hard to brand friends with other girls her age. Everything changes when she'due south introduced to VR and Gun Gale Online. In GGO, Karen is gratuitous to play the cute, chibi avatar of her dreams. Can Karen detect friendship in this bullet-ridden MMO...?
In terms of origin I would say Llen has a better origin since Kirito is just some kid playing a video, where every bit Lelien in existent life is a sexy adult female who is surprisingly tall to near characters and is a college student. Withal, as a protagonist she is annoying but only in the game.
Information technology is overall a good side story only I prefer the other series. That is all i am going to say nearly it.

Very good, but not SWO
I watched this before always knowing nigh SWO. Something almost the paradigm of a strange pink munchkin wielding an also pink FN P90 grabbed my attention I guess. I didn't compare it to anything and enjoyed it a lot! If yous are going into it thinking it will be SWO then y'all'd best manage your expectations. Treat this like a spin off series with all new characters. Yeah it probably should have merely been called "Gun Gale Online" but I guess the guys in marketing thought it would exist better to have some brand recognition.

Weak story and characters simply plenty of action.
The protagonist once again is someone using a close range weapon with super human speed and reflexes. She's most an interesting character that forms inexplicably strong attachments to weirdos in an RPG. Speaking of, this is a shooter but the writers randomly portray antagonists that enjoy the killing as immoral. It's a shooter, toying with the other team and enjoying the kill are intrensic to the genre. Just protagonists that bask the killing are not portrayed the same way. And the worst part is that in real life the protagonist would take reported the antagonist to the police and that would accept been that. Information technology'south not a bad anime, and many people will enjoy information technology only I establish the story and characters to exist uncomplicated and shallow.

Disappointing later on SAO
It lacks the depth and relatable characters of SAO. Entertaining enough simply not cracking.

Its ok.
Different the original SAO, I would describe this show as mediocre as opposed to unredeemable dogsh**. I wouldn't recommend it, but its meliorate than the rest of the franchise.
Gameplay - The original SAO was written by someone who did no research on video games and how they work (in that location is a video of him admitting to doing NO research when writing, this isn't merely me making assumptions). This version was written past someone who tried. There are some elements similar the randomized avatar that don't brand sense, only for the most part the game in this show feels like an actual game that people would play. There is a logic to how it works and is set up. At that place is also a logic to how the characters in the game act, unlike in the original SAO.
Characters - Dissimilar in the original SAO, there are characters in this show. Everyone has a distinct personality and reasons for doing things they do. The female person characters accept identities and don't simply exist for fan service. The graphic symbol designs are also good here unlike in the original.
Plot - I got nigh v episodes in before stopping, and its by and large only the people playing the game. If you like that kind of stuff then this testify is great for that.
I'd simply recommend this if you like video games and anime. Otherwise its just an average show. Its a 1000000 miles better than the original SAO, simply pretty much whatsoever anime is better than the original SAO.

It not a level of SAO many thing are not there
First of all if you lot think there is asuna or karito so no one is here. Then, no original SAO characters.
And this story is very inferior like who do that save a crazy girl who is obsessed with death. And if y'all see his lover that is pathetic totally I don't look this type of weak character here.
The LINN have some event I got it but she have nothing to save PICO that stupid girl and every bit you knew her you lot going to frustrate with her final.
There is twist to just I easily see this coming I know what happen next. Yeah merely war is unpredictable. merely ending easily know what going to happen.
Nada to watch merely you can watch it one time its non that bad but don't hope a good content I recollect new sward art online came will exercise better that in continuous story.

GGO is not SAO!
Equally if that wasn't already obvious. Dont exist whiney that a spin-off is a spin-off. Meaning its intended to be very dissimilar.
GGO follows a dissimilar set of characters with different issues. Namely? 1 is suicidal and its up to the protagonist to beat her in a game to keep her from dying irl.
This is actually a much more realistic issue than most people realize. That's kinda why i didnt like information technology equally much. I came for a more fantasy blazon scenario just this was adept too. It was a little... eh to me but i still plant it enjoyable. Got to see more of GGO and it doesn't really contradict anything from SAO storyline.
All in all information technology doesn't deserve the hate it gets from the toxic gatekeepers

Not even close...
What a disappointment. Didn't wanna heed to the reviews simply it'due south not worthy to have SAO in its title. The story is kinda boring and anticipated, the characters are flat and got nil to do with SAO. And also the few references to SAO it misses pretty much everything I liked about SAO. No heartwarming friendships, no jokes, no deep characters, no insides of the real earth.... could go along and on and on... However my disappointment is mostly caused past the fact I loved the original so much. Every bit an anime it'southward still watchable so 6/10

Its adept brusk fun!
Not anywhere near the main show, but information technology was never meant to be. Simply a fun trivial 12 episode story that can maybe elevate in some parts, but also manages non to waste any time. The characters are all enjoyable, although the "villain" tin be a little annoying. Overall a good side project and would definitely recommend. I hope the characters make information technology into the principal evidence somehow or this gets a flavor 2. Oh and that finish credits song is really good :)

Better than SAO, only it's problems proceed it from existence good
The characters are definitely more adult and more than interesting, but 1 big problem is the pacing. Things that should take only 1 episode take up half the serial. And I have never seen a more dislocated plot in my life. The characters but completely abandon all logic for something that MAY work, and when the protagonist is trying to save another character'due south life, she tells herself not to worry almost what happens to her, even though her life is literally at stake, that is the only reason she'southward doing what she'south doing. (doing my best not to spoil anything here)
They also endeavor to shove in some LGBTQ+ representation, which I'm all for, simply information technology's done so horribly, and barely gets any screen-time, and it's treated more than like a sudden and shocking reveal than a normal, every-day thing.
Another problem is that information technology uses a cheap trick to keep you watching till the finish. It uses a hook to make you desire to know what happens at the end, while not really giving any interesting narrative in-between. And when the cease finally does make it, it's a complete thwarting.
