#Gun Gale Online II Released
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II‘s opening animation sequence has been released on YouTube.
The director of the opening — which catches the eye with its color palette and the character art in its still shots — is Riki Matsuura (Page of Lambda Opening and Undead Unluck Opening 1).
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II premiered on October 4 JST and is streaming on Crunchyroll, Bilibili, and Muse Asia’s YouTube channel. Like the 2018 first season, it adapts the Dengeki Bunko light novel series written by Kino’s Journey‘s Keiichi Sigsawa and illustrated by Kouhaku Kuroboshi, which has 13 tankoubon volumes as of March 2023 and a manga adaptation illustrated by Tadachi Tamori.
Yen Press describes the Sword Art Online spin-off as:
A Brand-New Battlefield Awaits! Karen Kohiruimaki is a college student who stands at an imposing six feet. While her complex about her height makes it hard for her to make friends in the real world, the VRMMO Gun Gale Online changes everything. Now equipped with her ideal “mini” avatar and clad in a pink battle suit, Karen is ready to shoot up the world of GGO as Llenn! Before long, she meets the beautiful Pitohui, and the two rare female players become fast friends. Little does Llenn know that this friendship is the key to her entry in the first-ever Squad Jam, a team-based battle royale that echoes the famous Bullet of Bullets tournament…
Season 1 of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online was produced by Studio 3Hz. The studio was initially credited for Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II as well, but in June, it was announced that its anime planning and production operations had been transferred to A-1 Pictures, which is now the credited animation production studio. The main staff lineup was unaffected.
