Alrighty, so a second season of Sword Art Online is starting next month! ~omomomomomomommomomo!?!?!?! :o
If you're like me, you loved the first season for the most part, though you didn't care too much for the second arc. But still, it was a mighty good anime, imo. And now we will have Gun Gale Online "Phantom Bullet", serving as the second season.
If - for some reason - you love anime but still don't know about Sword Art Online (a.k.a. "SAO"): It's a virtual reality anime where players get trapped in a MMORPG. I have yet to find any VR anime as intense and epic as this. The . h a c k stuff is just not the same. Though I'm sure some people find the plot of it interesting, it moves too slow for me. And stuff like Log Horizon just didn't catch my interest. There is a reason why SAO made such a big splash in the world of anime. I have high hopes for season 2. As long as they properly follow the light novel, it will be very good.
So yeah, I guess this is the official SAO II topic for ZFGC. :)

These are all so short but it's got me hyped.
Other thoughts:
No, Kirito is not a girl. I won't spoil it, but it's explained very well in the story. Also, Walnut made a humorous comment on a previous topic about the first season being "Ass Art Online" because of the fan service. It's true that it was very obvious about giving the viewer certain points of view just for that reason, and I won't even go into the second arc stuff. But, hey, it's very common in anime, and it's linked in with Japanese culture (i.e. they don't think the exact same was as Americans on "sexuality" and such), and it definitely does not mean the anime is doing it because it is trying to cover up the fact that the plot sucks or something. SAO wasn't without flaw, but it was not all about ass and women. I do have to admit that it did focus a bit too much for my liking with all the women basically falling in love with Kirito, but the VR aspect and game-related details and scenarios are what really made the anime a favorite for me. I expect the same from SAO II, being MMORPG-related stuff as well as boobs and ass. That's just how it is. In the end, I expect to enjoy it very much.

And it looks like we will get the first episode of season 2 in a little less than 5 hours here:

I guess it's time I finally watched season 1 eh?

Loved the SAO arc. I didnt mind the ALO arc as much as some people(it is hated on more than i think it should. Okay it isnt the best comparing to the first arc but it wasnt awful.) and after watching the first episode i feel like they could get back at something better here. I have high hopes for it but it could very easily be shitty very fast off the bat.

I certainly think it's worth a watch. You'll likely enjoy the first arc, though the second arc has more plot problems if you think too hard and some things get a bit more generic and fan service shoots up a bit more.

I agree, the ALO arc certainly wasn't entirely bad. There are various reasons why people didn't like it as much but I think that the "tentacle" dudes with Asuna was the worst for me personally. It just seemed a bit tasteless. And many people didn't like how she was more of a victim than in the first arc. Also, various character personalities were inconsistent. It wasn't horrible, but it just wasn't as solid as the first arc.

If they follow the light novel as much as possible, it will be very good, imo. So far, they have followed it very well in the first episode.

no i didn't think it was awful either, but a reason i wasn't a fan of that arc is that first arc they made asuna badass and all, and next arc she basically does nothing and is helpless pretty much. otherwise i enjoyed it.
I think im going to wait for the dub(hopefully) version in a year or so for SOA II haha.

The number of ass shots I've spotted so far in SAO2 has increased exponentially from SAO1
They call it Ass Art Online for a reason after all
