The upcoming second season of spin-off anime Sword Art Online: Alternative: Gun Gale Online locked (and loaded) in at Anime Expo 2024 today, debuting a brand-new teaser trailer and announcing “GG” by ReoNa, who provides the singing voice for Pitohui and previously performed multiple theme songs for the Sword Art Online: Alicization series, as the anime’s opening song.
The new series is slated to begin airing in October 2024.
Based on the spin-off novels by Keiichi Shigusawa and Kohaku Kuroboshi, Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online is directed by Masayuki Sakoi (Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious) at Studio 3Hz, with series composition by Yosuke Kuroda and character designs by Yoshio Kozakai.
Crunchyroll streams the full first season with a range of subtitles, describing the story like so:
In the world of guns and steel that is Gun Gale Online, LLENN has been a devoted, female solo player. She is obsessed with two things: donning herself entirely in pink and honing her skills with consistent game play. She soon discovers her love for hunting other players (a.k.a. PK), soon to be known as the “Pink Devil.”
Meanwhile, LLENN meets a beautiful yet mysterious player, Pitohui, and the two click right away. Doing as she is told by Pitohui, she enters the Squad Jam group battle.
