Sword Art Online & Summer Wars: What’s at Stake When You Can’t Log Out? | VIRTUAL REALITY Pt 15

This week, James takes Matt on a whistle-stop tour of the fascinating world of Japanese anime, diving into the subgenre of Isekai—where characters are transported to and must survive in alternate realities. We’re focusing on two standout examples of virtual worlds in anime: Sword Art Online (2012) and Summer Wars (2009). In Sword Art Online, players are trapped in a VR game where the stakes are life or death, while in Summer Wars, a digital battle threatens the real world.  Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
