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
