![]() ![]() All the Japanese voice cast returns once again, all doing a great job. While the story is lacking punch, it is, however, filled with moments and scenes that hardcore fans of the series will enjoy - there are plenty of funny scenes and tons of fan-service. They lack any sort of foreboding or menacing presence and don't end up feeling like much of an enemy to try and overcome. In a way, the guild of Shamrock and one of its leaders, Sumeragi, act as the villains of the story…but it doesn't work. One of the major issues is that there is not much of an antagonist or story arc throughout to really connect with, or develop. ALO, in comparison, just has friends playing together. Random enemies, psychotic PVP-obsessed players, the potential of the players' bodies wasting away in the real world while they were stuck inside the game and more, which gave the characters the drive to complete everything to escape. Aincrad was filled with dread, and dying in-game meant death in reality and there were dangers lurking around every corner. Much like in the source material, the story of ALO when compared to Aincrad lacks punch. Their competition are a massive guild named Shamrock, led by a girl named "Seven" who lives a double life of a scientist in the real world and a massively popular idol within the virtual world. In Lost Song, Kirito and crew are heading to a new area that has opened within ALO, entitled Svart Alfheim, and are engaging in the classic MMO activity of racing to be the first to clear the content. Set in a world based around Norse mythology, ALO puts a focus on PVP instead of PVE, with players taking the roles of different fairy clans. It's hard to stay away from the attraction of the VRMMORPG, however, and they soon all join the latest big thing: Alfheim Online (ALO). The cast has escaped Aincrad and returned to the real world. ![]()
