Well what can we do about this is summed up with either a twitter protest or praying for a miracle that the series isn't complete trash. Live Action with this setting is not the best idea, Live action works for dramas and slice of life because there is little to know special effects, this will either be a disaster or equivalent to what we see on some Sy-fy channel movie. If the budget can't afford for game effects when injured, sword skill trails, and pixelization of some parts then it won't do much good as a series. They will have to straddle a hard line between new content and canon following, all the while keeping it not too anime and not too far from reality to be distasteful, honestly it is gonna be a hard-sold god-given miracle to make this fly.

Well here's hoping they adapt progressive rather than remake SAO season 1 scene for scene. At least that way it expands the world, rather then reboots it badly.

The reason I'm against redoing season 1 is that it would then suffer comparisons which will do it no favors as the original illustrations are anime characters so the anime will have the starting high ground going into the comparison. IF, and IF it adapts progressive aside from the starting episode and slaying of the first boss it has the oppurtunity to progress in the area that the anime hasn't and provide a new experience to viewers, that and then the setting will stay in Aincrad which people love most out of almost all the VRMMOs which will aid its cause. (Let's face it we all love Aincrad the most)
