Sword Art Online Extra Edition: The very definition of a cash-grab
It pains me to give something SOA related such a low rating but this more than deserves it, in fact I'm likely being generous.
"Extra Edition" is a feature length SOA movie where the vast majority of the content is ripped straight from the television series.
It follows Kirito and the girls as they regale each other with stories about their time in game. Each time the "Story" is just an excerpt from the show and this makes up most of the film. The new content is the filler in between the excerpts and a very short story at the end where we see our team attempt a new dungeon.
Arguably Extra Edition exists for two reasons, for one it's blatant fan service and secondly it's the very definition of a cashgrab. Essentially what they've done here is take an existing product and wrap it up as something new.
For hardcore SOA fans only, this brings little to nothing to the table.
The Good:
SOA charm
The Bad:
Very little new content
