Sword Art Online II Box Set Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Neil Lumbard June 16, 2022
Kirito (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka) continues on an odyssey in an online world. Entering a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), the
exciting adventures unfold. The journey has only just begun. Virtual worlds usher in a new future.

For more information about Sword Art Online, please refer to the review by my colleague Jeffrey Kauffman.
Sword Art Online II Box Set Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Arriving on Blu-ray from Aniplex of America, Sword Art Online is presented in 1080p MPEG-4 AVC encoded high definition in the
original television broadcast aspect ratio of 1.78:1 widescreen. A wonderful presentation of the series, the second set offers fans bold, bright, and
engaging color reproduction. The release is spectacular in high-definition and benefits from being spread across several discs (for better compression
compared to streaming counterparts). Aniplex of America uses higher bit-rates and the results are an even better presentation.
Sword Art Online II Box Set Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

The release is an improvement over the first season release. The set includes two lossless audio options: Japanese uncompressed PCM 2.0 stereo
(with English subtitles) and English uncompressed PCM 2.0 stereo. The first season only provided lossless audio for the original Japanese language
track. The release is a step-up as a result. Fans of the Japanese track will be pleased with the higher bit-rate presentation (which is more engaging to
listen to).
