Comment from Yoshitsugu Matsuokga (voice of Kirito)
Thank you for attending the Japan premiere today! This next arc called Alicization will have a total of four cours, so all of the cast members are ecstatic to work on it! That we are able to do this is also thanks to everybody who keeps supporting the series, so thank you very much. We are counting on your continuous support of Sword Art Online.
Comment from Haruka Tomatsu (voice of Asuna)
Thank you for coming today! I hope you all enjoyed watching the first episode so soon! From here the Alicization Arc starts. Even in the original light novel, it is one of the longest story parts, so I am looking forward to seeing how they turn it into an anime. Thank you for your time today.
Comment from Ai Kayano (voice of Alice)
Thank you all for coming! Everybody saw how the first episode ended for Alice like that. Those who haven’t read the light novel will have many questions about the development from here on and many impactful things are going to happen, so please keep watching from now on! Thank you for today!
