Hello everyone! We received some pretty big anime news the other day, didn't we? I'm quite surprised, this is Mafuyu from Goods Republic!!

The big anime news that was announced the other day...... that is, after several years, the sequel series of a certain anime has been confirmed to be in production! If you're reading this article, you, who are anime lovers, definitely know about this work!

So! The second season of the Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online anime sequel has been confirmed! This is amazing and I'm so happy! But for those who know Sword Art Online but don't know Gun Gale Online...... let's quickly recap what the relationship is, and what the story is about!

Gun Gale Online is a work that depicts the extra edition of the Phantom Bullet arc, which corresponds to the third chapter of 'Sword Art Online', which you all are well aware of! The Phantom Bullet arc is a work that covers episodes 1 to around 14 or 15 of the second season of the Sword Art Online anime, so if you want to check it out in the anime, that's the range you should watch!

By the way, the light novel of this spin-off, Gun Gale Online, is written by Sigsawa Keiichi-Sensei, who is also known for writing Kino no Tabi (Kino's Journey) due to his extensive knowledge of firearms!

To explain it very simply, it's a work that depicts the protagonist girl participating in a battle royale competition within the game!

According to a comment from the author, Sigsawa Keiichi-Sensei, 'if you read this Gun Gale Online by the time of Sword Art Online Phantom Bullet arc, you can enjoy the story more, but it is made so that you can enjoy it even if you don't know about it.' So it seems to be an event a little before the main story...... but it seems that you don't need to know the main story to enjoy it! So for those who don't know, please take this opportunity to not only revisit the original Sword Art Online, but also the first season of the Gun Gale Online anime!

That's it for this time! Let's meet in the next article! See you later!
