Season 1: Sword Art Online (Aincrad/Fairy Dance)
The first season that started it all is split inlớn two arcs: the "Aincrad" Arc và the "Fairy Dance" Arc.

He teams up with sniper extraordinaire Shino "Sinon" Asadomain authority and learns the antagonists are more familiar than he realized.
The "Calibur" Arc is a short but fun filler adventure for the full cast — now including Sinon — baông xã in ALfhelặng Online. A lighthearted story that sits in between two significantly heavier ones.
"Mother"s Rosario" is an emotional story that gives Asuna her long-awaited turn in the spotlight. Back in ALO, she hears of an expert sword fighter named Zekken who is undefeated in one-on-one battles, including a victory over Kirikhổng lồ. Asumãng cầu và Zekken, real name Yuuki, become fast friends & Asumãng cầu joins her guild for a time. Reality, however, isn"t so lighthearted as Yuuki carries a devastating real-world burden connected khổng lồ her desire khổng lồ compete in ALO. Have sầu tissues at the ready.
SAO Alternative is a separate series with a whole different cast of characters. Based on the light novels by Keiibỏ ra Sigsawa, the only similarity khổng lồ the main series is that it takes place in the already-established world of Gun Gale Online. It can be viewed completely on its own, although a couple of easter egg references to Sinon and Kirilớn might be missed without watching the "Phantom Bullet" Arc first.
Shy college student Karen Kouhirimaki struggles with socializing & making friends due lớn her exceptionally tall height. She decides khổng lồ try VR games as an escape and comes lớn love the thrill of Gun Gale Online, which also allows her khổng lồ create her own avatar và become the short, pink-clad girl she always wanted lớn be.

A new augmented reality device called the Augma is all the rage, with a combat-based game called Ordinal Scale becoming the first ARMMORPG. Kirilớn shows little interest in AR until Asumãng cầu and the others tell hyên ổn that trùm monsters from the original Sword Art Online game have started appearing.

Season 3: Sword Art Online - Alicization (Alicization/War of Underworld)
The third & still-ongoing season of SAO is its longest and most expansive sầu so far. Split into three arcs — "Alicization,""War of Underworld" Part 1" & "War of Underworld Part 2" — it begins a few months after the events of Ordinal Scale.
"Alicization" sees Kirito working with the top secret government-run company Rath khổng lồ thử nghiệm a new experimental full-dive sầu machine called the Soul Translator (STL). After being attacked in the real world by a member of the Death Gun plot from Season 2, Kirito suffers significant brain damage & is only kept alive sầu thanks to lớn the STL. As Kirikhổng lồ wakes up in the Underworld with his real-world memories intact, he must figure out how to survive sầu in a much more realistic VR world than ever before while Rath"s true goals for the STL become clear.
The subsequent "War of Underworld" arc continues the events of Alicization as a world-spanning war breaks out in the Underworld with major international consequences for the real world as well. "Part 2" is currently airing và available to lớn stream on Crunchyroll.
It can be confusing, but the SAO anime"s chronology does fit in a proper order — though Alternative can be viewed independently —even though many of the stories begin very shortly after their preceding arcs. Seems Kirikhổng lồ and friends get even shorter spans of peace & quiet than the Dragon Ball cast.
