Aniplex of America began streaming the new teaser trailer for Sword Art Online: Alicization with English subtitles on Saturday.
Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale animation directors Gou Suzuki and Tomoya Nishiguchi will join Shingo Adachi for the character designs.
Director Manabu Ono said in an interview on the anime’s official website that he accepted the job as director around the time of the Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale film’s preview screenings, and he has heard from Aniplex staff since that time that the plan is to adapt the original novel series all the way to the end.
The novel series has two television anime adaptations, an anime special, and a recent film.
