| 20:27:11 [Cassian] | Nathan http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/reki+kawahara/aincrad+28novel29/10973496/ |
| 20:27:14 [Sacchi] | Aincrad (Novel) - Sword Art Online 4 (Book) by Reki Kawahara (2015): Waterstones.com |
| 20:38:28 [nathanbp|surface] | ....pretty sure the title is supposed to be "Fairy Dance Part 2" not "Aincard" for volume 4 |
| 20:39:49 [Cassian] | Yeah |
| 20:40:06 [Cassian] | They probably haven't given them the actual title or something |
| 20:40:14 [nathanbp|surface] | wouldn't surprise me |
| 20:40:41 [nathanbp|surface] | good to hear that Yen Press is actually going to continue publishing it (not that that's that surprising given the sales numbers for volume 1) |
| 20:41:33 [Cassian] | Yeah |
| 20:41:56 [Cassian] | 3 novels a year is pretty good considering most were only 2 per year |
| 20:45:42 [nathanbp|surface] | only 5 years to catch up with where Japan is now... |
| 20:46:03 [nathanbp|surface] | (but he's publishing 1/year in Japan now, so...) |
| 20:54:59 [Cassian] | D: |
| 20:55:24 [Cassian] | Is that including the Progressive novels |
| 21:08:53 [nathanbp|surface] | I think he publishes 4 novels total/year |
| 21:09:07 [nathanbp|surface] | 1 each in progressive, accel world, SAO, and his new one |
| 21:10:50 [nathanbp|surface] | or maybe even more than that |
| 21:11:00 [nathanbp|surface] | in 2013 he published 3 Accel World, 1 Progressive, and 2 SAO |
| 21:11:12 [Cassian] | Jesus |
| 21:12:50 [Cassian] | I didn't realize Accel World was that popular |
| 21:13:16 [nathanbp|surface] | I'm not really sure how popular it is? |
| 21:15:47 [Cassian] | Ah |
| 21:15:57 [Cassian] | I figured it was SAO from sales figures |
| 21:16:52 [nathanbp|surface] | ?? |
| 21:17:12 [Cassian] | That SAO was the really popular of the two |
| 21:17:17 [Cassian] | *popular one |
| 21:17:19 [nathanbp|surface] | Yeah, I think it is |
| 21:19:10 [nathanbp|surface] | lol, wikipedia already has a page for SAOII episodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sword_Art_Online_II_episodes |
| 21:22:01 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 21:24:47 [nathanbp|surface] | I think he's still mostly just editing his web novel |
| 21:24:56 [nathanbp|surface] | so that's probably how he can publish them so fast |
| 21:25:11 [nathanbp|surface] | At least SAO is not beyond where the web novel got to yet |
| 21:25:48 [Cassian] | Huh |
| 21:25:52 [Cassian] | Makes sense |
| 21:26:10 [Cassian] | Do you think the anime might animate the half of the current arc that's finished? |
| 21:26:57 [nathanbp|surface] | It's not actually finished yet, so I'm not sure how it leaves off |
| 21:28:03 [nathanbp|surface] | but I guess it's possible |
| 21:28:18 [nathanbp|surface] | they still have Volume 7 that could be animated too |
| 21:29:10 [Cassian] | The Asuna short story? |
| 21:29:43 [nathanbp|surface] | yeah |
| 21:29:49 [Cassian] | Makes sense |
| 21:32:22 [nathanbp|surface] | Of course, SAOII could fail and then they wouldn't do any more anyways... |
| 21:32:28 [nathanbp|surface] | not that that seems very likely... |
| 21:33:07 [Cassian] | Yeah.... |
| 21:33:25 [Cassian] | I think people predicting it might be only 13 makes more sense if GGO is a short arc |
| 21:33:58 [nathanbp|surface] | I thought it was confirmed to be only one season and just cover GGO? |
| 21:34:25 [Cassian] | That was a rumor I think |
| 21:34:50 [Cassian] | But with Mushishi ending at 10, who knows about SAO II's production team |
| 21:35:54 [nathanbp|surface] | I guess they could be all Shafty and do 18 eps and cover Asuna's story too |
| 21:36:01 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 21:36:16 [Cassian] | I wonder if Hanamonogatari will actually air on time |
| 21:36:43 [nathanbp|surface] | (There's one additional short story in volume 8 too, but it follows up to a scene they cut from Fairy Dance so I don't think they'll ever animate it) |
| 21:37:04 [Cassian] | Ah D: |
| 21:40:11 [nathanbp|surface] | planning to watch SAOII after having read the first volume? :D |
| 21:40:16 [Cassian] | Nah |
| 21:44:26 [Cassian] | I'll probably check out Progressive when Yen brings that out |
| 22:01:32 [nathanbp|surface] | you're welcome to borrow my copy as I'll be buying it >_> |
| 22:01:48 [nathanbp|surface] | clearly we should tell Yen to get Log Horizon |
| 22:03:05 [Cassian] | Cool, I might take you up on that since I don't know if my library will keep getting them |
| 22:03:52 [Cassian] | Since they stopped getting the Haruhi novel after a while D: |
| 22:04:08 [Cassian] | I'd probably buy Log Horizon if they put it out |
| 22:04:52 [nathanbp|surface] | Gotta get Yen Press to publish everything before they go bankrupt publishing light novels |
| 22:05:28 [Cassian] | LOL |
| 22:06:18 [nathanbp|surface] | or actually it's probably better for them not to publish and just read off baka-tsuki... |
| 22:06:57 [nathanbp|surface] | or actually learn enough Japanese to read them myself... |
| 22:07:01 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 22:16:36 [nathanbp|surface] | ...really CLAMP? More Tsubasa?? |
| 22:17:29 [Cassian] | I saw that. No one was asking for that |
