Usually I like air x gra stuff but not this one. So I hope after reading this, a buyer will say "Thank you for the preview, I wouldn't bought this even if I could"
On page 5 I tried BW scan. To my surprise it is less than 100kb so I leave it there

Uh, I didn't realize it was duplicate. Sorry about that.

@ alcantarilla: i didn't notice any reply sorry for being this late. This one doesn't make me crack like the previous works. But at least the covers are still consistently have stories in them. As for other, I haven't pick up SAO after Ordinal Scale so I doubt I will. And looking from melonbook page he is still pumping more SAO from GGO to Ali.

2022: Watched Aria Night in theater today. Now I'm in dillema if I should check Bib's SNS to see if they make new SAO stuff based on this movie

Unlike some peasant who they are better for watching in 4K monitor (or less) even though they simply torrent from illegal site and watch flat 2D, this is meant to be enjoyed as 4D experience in theater so this review will be written a la movie experience, so Kayaba bless you if this feel like an advertisement for moving chair
Story
If you skip first half (or all) of SAO season 1 for some reason, you can start from this movie
SAO is the series who brought Isekai (or anime on that matter) to mainstream audience. Contrast to feel-good isekais that flood the market later, it immediately give not-so-subtle message by giving both body count and telling that the involved party can’t escape. Even though it seem sort of material for a movie, this is a movie with videogame as premise (tutorial, grinding, planning raid) for 2 hours. If you think that’s too much you haven’t play MMO for real (I hope ‘2 hour’ part of the premise don’t discourage you)
Character
You will see the affordmentioned gist of playing MMO from the eyes of newbie (Asuna) and that’s how you show the rosy-colored part of playing game. That’s why gamers play even in between time they become jaded and just pursuing numbers. Having Asuna as the main enchance the range of emotion this movie could show
Atmosphere
I watched Weathering With You in normal 2D, that’s 10/10 atmosphere material that combine saturation of rain and sound. Both can’t be used here.
Instead this movie show the grip of getting trapped in other world, and that’s the first thing you need to get your audience into these kind of ‘trapped in game’ scenario. What follow afterward are affirmation of how players brutally die from mob while our pov character watch (disclaimer, at this point some viewers who accustomed to just watching other players die might feel detached but that’s just majority of gamers). And silverlink manage to do it to make the premise believably scary.
Now what’s so special about 4D theater? Feeling how mob get beaten up, how Asuna accelerating and getting physical feeling of battling mobs other than your fingers hitting buttons.
This is anime entertainment in its highest form (until they make VR movie, that’s why I bought another ticket)
Animation
In relation to animation, the game’s Switch system, Asuna’s constant lunging and and players aggroing enemies give reason to show us delicious camera circling animation
Sound
Choir? They can still use Kalafina? When I hear screaming lady I had a hunch it was Lisa. I knew it was lisa. I can’t comment on anything in particular here

As anime I give it 9 but as movie experience a solid 10. I wish I can drag other people irl to watch this

Holy shit, it's been AGES since I last saw any Air x Gra doujin scanned! Sure, it's not really a 'good' scan, but it's still amazing to have! Sad that is just one where Sugu isn't around, I was always disappointed only 2 of the Aincrad ones got scanned because I really wanted to see how he wrote her, his comedy has always killed me XD

@Hyoros

Any particular reason you didn't like it? And are you planning to upload any other of his doujins??
