Haven't read the LN for this part yet but somewhat looking forward to this. Hoping it will be memorable.

Cat people in that "game" look so horrible. Ears overdone

My only theory is that moving the years from the side of the head to the top might be too much for the system and brain to compensate for so the big ears extending up the side of their head is a compromise. Dunno if they put that much thought into it though.

damn, I remember hearing the first opening of SAO and thinking it was awesome and then when the 2nd arc begin and I heard THAT opening song I was kind of disappointed, guess this time it will be the same.
Can't wait for this to start and hopefully it's done better than what we've seen so far.

Don't expect too much. It was only written as a short story like the 2 episodes back in season 1 about the pk'ing inside town which is actually the first of the short stories compiled into volume 8. Calibur is the second.

Nope the latest novels aren't even set in New Aincrad yet. It is in Alfheim just like the second half of S1. Well part of Alfheim Online anyway, one of the underworlds, Jotunheim from memory, or was it Niflheim? More interesting than the ALO seen so far anyway. Yeah a lot of ALO is semi though not really based around Norse myth.
