Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-6697950-20140102180802

Just to make sure that this news is seen as much as possible to avoid the annoying season 2 questions, the Extra Edition special at the end of the year officially confirmed a second season for the anime:



Season FAQ

 * Will there be a third season?
 * The second season has not even aired yet. Do not confuse "arc"s and "season"s
 * Will there be a second season?
 * YES. This whole post is about the announcement of the second season. Stop asking about it already.
 * When is the second season going to air?
 * 2014. More specific date to be announced.
 * How many episodes will the new season have?
 * To be announced

Story FAQ

 * Are Asuna and Kirito still dating?
 * Yes. They are a stable couple in the Phantom Bullet arc and beyond.
 * Does Asuna play GGO?
 * In the Phantom Bullet arc, she does not play GGO. She was planing to convert for the 5th BoB, but that's beyond the 4th main arc which is still ongoing.
 * Does that mean there won't be Asuna in the next season?
 * In the Phantom Bullet arc, she is only a secondary character. She makes several appearances and has a bit of an effect on the plot, but she does not get that much spotlight. However, if the new season comes with Mother's Rosario, prepare for an Asuna overload, as Kirito is taking the back seat in that story.
