Sword Art Online first released its anime ten years ago this month, introducing the Isekai series to anime fans wherein dying in a virtual game meant dying in real life. While subsequent seasons would place its stars, Kirito and Asuna, into new worlds and present tougher challenges, the latest film series has taken a trip to the past for the events of the first season. Now, fans of the series are taking the opportunity to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its anime.
At this year’s Anime Expo, Sword Art Online’s English voice cast celebrated the arrival of the anime ten years ago, with the likes of Bryce Papenbrook, Cherami Leigh, Cassandra Lee Morris, and more celebrating the story of the black swordsman who attempted to survive in a dangerous digital domain:
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to celebrate 10 Years of Sword Art Online with the cast and I. We had such a good time! Here’s to 10 more ? #SwordArtOnline #SAO #Kirito #SAO10 @aniplexUSA @SwordArtUSA pic.twitter.com/tz9st9YgFL
Do you think we’ll see more seasons of Sword Art Online arrive in the future? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Isekai.
