Final List
We have finally reached the end of the long list. Though the above list carries all the releases including “Specials,” for some of us watchers, we want to dive directly into the main content and skip the extras. If you are one of those, then this “Final List” will help you watch only the most important portion of the SAO.
- Sword Art Online
- Sword Art Online II
- Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale
- Sword Art Online: Alicization
- Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld
- Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld Part 2
- Sword Art Online: Progressive Aria of a Starless Night (Upcoming)
You will discover that the “Final List” is far shorter than the lists above. That’s because the Final List only contains the juicy portion. After completing all the anime in the Final List, there won’t be left anything to cover that’s not important.
Conclusion
The above list covers most of the episodes including the extras of SAO series. If you are curious to watch the “Specials,” then watch them when you have completed the main material.
And yes, don’t miss the movie, “Ordinal Scale,” as it really “Scales” up what the virtual world of SAO can do.
