When Will Sao Progressive Come To Funimation
Okay, fellow anime fanatics! Let's talk about something that's been keeping us all up at night: When oh WHEN will Sword Art Online Progressive finally grace our screens on Funimation?
It feels like we've been waiting since Aincrad itself! I mean, seriously, Kirito leveled up faster than we're getting updates on this. Are we being trolled by a Laughing Coffin member in disguise?
The Great Streaming Delay: A Comic Opera
Think about it: you've got your popcorn ready, your comfiest pajamas on, and your Funimation account primed for action. You're all set to dive headfirst into the re-telling of Aincrad's early days, this time with even more Asuna awesomeness. Then… nothing.
Must Read
It's like waiting for that perfectly timed parry, only to have your reflexes fail you at the last second. The suspense is killing us! I'm starting to think maybe Kayaba Akihiko is running Funimation's release schedule as some sort of twisted social experiment.
Rumors, Whispers, and Desperate Hopes
The internet, as always, is buzzing with theories. Some say it's a licensing issue. Others whisper of secret, behind-the-scenes negotiations with gnomes who control the anime distribution pipeline.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be aliens. The truth is, we're all just speculating wildly, clinging to any sliver of hope like Kirito clinging to that last pixel of health during a boss fight.
My personal theory? They're waiting for the perfect cosmic alignment. When the stars align just right, and the moon is in the seventh house of Jupiter (or something equally mystical), Funimation will unleash Progressive upon us. Makes perfect sense, right?
What Can We Do in the Meantime? (Besides Panic)
While we're waiting, let's not descend into despair! There are plenty of ways to keep our SAO spirit alive.
Rewatch the original series! Relive the tear-jerking moments, the epic battles, and the questionable fashion choices. You could even try crafting your own NerveGear out of cardboard and sheer willpower (results may vary).
Read the light novels! Go even deeper into the SAO universe and impress your friends with your encyclopedic knowledge of all things Kirito and Asuna. Plus, reading is good for you. You'll level up your intelligence stat for sure.
Ultimately, the wait for Sword Art Online Progressive on Funimation is a testament to the power of anime. We're so invested in these stories and characters that a simple delay can feel like an eternity.
So, let's band together, fellow fans! Let's keep the faith, keep the memes coming, and keep our Funimation subscriptions active. We'll get there eventually. And when Progressive finally drops, it'll be an event worthy of a server-wide celebration. I'm talking digital fireworks, in-game parties, and maybe even a real-life cake decorated with pixel art.
Until then, stay strong, stay positive, and remember: somewhere out there, someone is working tirelessly (hopefully!) to bring us the SAO Progressive content we crave. And when it arrives, we'll be ready to dive in, swords drawn, hearts full of hope, and popcorn in hand.
And hey, if all else fails, we can always write angry letters to Kayaba Akihiko. I'm sure he's just dying to hear from us.
