They can surely continue into the other arcs, but it would feel very disjointed midseason. Think of it this way, if you only watched the last 10 episodes of Season 1, would any of the plot devices make sense to you? No one would care about Asuna, who really had almost no screentime.

Mother's Rosario is almost perfect standalone movie material. There's no reason to add it to the GGO arc since the lead role reverses from Kirito to Asuna. While Caliber, in my opinion, is abit too lighthearted to be featured as a central plot.

I think the best course of action is to go straight from GGO to Alicization, but Alicization is long, at least 4 books, so they need at least a 30-35 episode season to cover the whole thing.

@Gsimenas Really? I thought 3/5 times the elimination of monologues was a good idea. This isn't Shakespeare...
