Sometime this year, the second arc of Sword Art Online, an anime based in a fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, (MMORPG or MMO for short), is going to be released. The first arc began with the release of an MMO entitled Sword Art Online, a fully virtual world using a virtual reality helmet so the user would actually feel as if they are there. All is going well until the creator tells them that they cannot leave the game until they beat all 100 levels. If someone tries to remove the helmet, they will instantly die in the real world. If they die in the game, they die in the real world. The whole story revolves around two characters who together beat the game and free everyone...sort of. All but the female main character is freed, who turns out to be trapped in yet another MMO. This time the male main character saves her and frees her from the game. I love anime so I continually look for news about upcoming and new anime. This series kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I am excited to see the direction this new arc will take, with new characters and a whole new world to be explored.
