Sword Art Online: The Movie: Ordinal Scale (2017)Gekijo-ban Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale
In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba. Called NerveGear, it was the first full-dive system and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPG's. In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A nex-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma. Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games… - Director:

The series is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell - the original filmmakers - and Craig DiGregorio, who serves as executive producer and showrunner.
