To be honest, if the budget is good, I think it could work. As an American live-action tv show, they might have to remove the worst parts of SAO, like the harem bullcrap, the incest, the whole of Fairy Dance, and so on. And then they could expand on the rest. For example, they could give more attention to the non-Kirito male characters for a more balanced cast (and add more male characters if necessary), develop the world building further (they could take some material from Progressive). If you remove the harem shit, you can also develop more relationships among the cast not involving Kirito, which would be pretty cool.
I don't know. For me SAO is a very popular but very mediocre product, so it could be improved a lot if they know what they doing.

Take out gun gale and caliber.
Then just have the live action do aincrad, mother's rosario, and alicization. I'd be down with that. Or they could just extend aincrad and do their own original stuff. I'd be fine with that as well. also Quote:

Y'know, with SAO's popularity, I was wondering if they would ever adapt it into live-action, but this...is still pretty shocking and unexpected .
I mean, even as someone who's actually a fan of the franchise, I can see many ways for this to go off the rails . Are they going to actually adapt the Light Novel or are they just going to take the basic concept of people stuck in a VR game and completely reinvent it? Is it even going to look and feel like SAO? I guess so long as you have the elements of people being trapped in a game with permanent death, explore the effects that has on the populace, the blending of virtual reality with true reality, and the central romance between Kirito and Asuna, it'll basically be SAO . Will they even use the actual SAO cast, and if so, how many will be race-changed or whitewashed? Will they change races while still using the same avatar names? Are we going to get something like the Death Note adaption Netflix is doing with "Light Turner" and such? Are Bryce Papenbrook and Cherami Leigh going to be allowed cameos ? At least Progressive gives them material to help expand on the story of Aincraid instead of just adapting the first novel and side-stories (if they plan on doing that all) like the anime did. I'm also curious if Kawahara is involved with this at all . Accel World would also be a fun TV show. Just saying .

Guy look the positive side this is Murrica
The biggest issue in SAO was it adopted every generic troupes you could found at every anime/manga industry now with western will adapt the series they certainly will convert SAO into their own show like they did to DB. We will say Bon Voyage to Generic SAO at last! I am not saying i am fond with Dragon Ball Evolution ( i hate western for what they did to DB) But SAO is different case, SAO problem is very heavy with japan cliches now what will happen if we get a Western Sao? Kirito will not be your handsome bishie boy, we going to have a typical average western highschool boy who either being buliied or bullying and Asuna is going to be total hotter than her anime version. Their online marriage going to be absolute blissful sexlife also we not going have annoying harem instead some tough-ass jock, instead having a passive big bro Klein we will have a black klein with hipersex humor (no-offense) also Western Sugaha certainly not another brocon Sugaha I think SAO become murrica live action maybe the awesome things to anime industry ever. But let's admit if western adapt the harem part it's not like going to be worse than japan version, it will be a fapp i mean hot things to see in the screen. EDIT: BTW wasn't The Last Airbender is Nickelodeon property? TLA not even anime or manga,why people complains for TLA bad adaptation? Last edited by Diluc; 2016-08-03 at 00:14. |

I am about 90% sure they will whitewash this one, unless of course they cast an Asian as any of Kirito, Suguha, Kayaba, Sugou, Silica, Lisbeth, or Sinon.
Just in case, I'll leave my own version of Americanized names here: Spoiler for americanized names:

As someone who LOVES the Kirigaya Family and their Friends (ESPECIALLY Yuuki the Absolute Sword) as Strong Positive Asian Characters who act as wonderful anti-venom to fans of "joe-pee-pee-maltin's play-of-chairs" screaming vile-crap about how "Asians have no place in Heroic Fantasy", ALL I can say to this evil white-washing disaster is:

I am actually want to see if this does work out or not. Sure the West has a very bad record when it comes down to Anime adaptions but it takes time and patience to find one that is going to hit it off.
Besides, they are going have a SAO type of movie coming out in a few year in Ready: Player One (my personal recommendation is read this book because it is very enjoyable read)
