Context: Adapts the Aincrad arc (where 10,000 players are trapped in a VRMMORPG) and the Fairy Dance arc (ALfheim Online). It covers Kirito's survival, the clearing of the game, and his quest to rescue Asuna from the World Tree.
Continuation: To continue the story, watch Sword Art Online EXTRA EDITION or proceed to Sword Art Online II. To read, start from Volume 5.
Critical Note: The anime tells the Aincrad arc in chronological order, unlike the light novel which was originally written non-linearly (jumping from Floor 1 to 74). It adapts parts of Volume 1, 2, and 8 side stories.
