Asuna in ‘Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale’ movie

The movie ''Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale'' is in the making and Haruka Tomatsu will lend her voice to the character of the female protagonist Asuna.

According to Anime News Network, Tomatsu will lend her voice to the character of Asuna. She had already played the same role in ''Sword Art Online'' season 1 and 2. She also sang the theme songs for both the seasons. She gave her voice to video games like "Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode" (as Shinomiya), "Inazuma Eleven Strikers" (as Shinsuke Nishizon), "Kōmajō Densetsu II: Stranger's Requiem" (as Alice Margatroid) and many others.

She also lent her voice to many movies like "Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle!" (as Joyful Knight), "Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Gaburincho of Music" (as Joyful Knight), "Sucker Punch" (Rocket /voiceover for Jena Malone) and a few others.

The makers of the movie A-1 pictures announced about the upcoming movie during the Sakura con this year. It was held between Mar 25-27, in Washington Convention Center, Seattle, Washington, USA. The official website talked in details about the Dengeki Bunko Spring Festival which concluded on March 13, 2016. 

Kazuma Miki and Rina Hidaka started the event with great enthusiasm and energy. Miki is a part of the Dengeki Bunko Editing Department and Hidaka plays the role of Silica/Keiko. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (who has given the voice to the lead character Kirito), original creator of the light novel series and the scriptwriter of the movie Reki Kawahara, Shingo Adachi (Character Designer) spoke about the upcoming movie in details.

The light novels are illustrated by abec and they will play a significant role in the movie too. The new game ''Ordinal Scale'' will be controlled by the Augma, a new device. The AR (Augmented Reality) Type Information Terminal (Augma) is basically a wearable multi-device that looks like a pair of small headphones. This device is more compact than the VR (Virtual Reality) machine known as the Amusphere. The Augma has the capability to enhance AR (Augmented Reality) to the maximum.

In the game, more and more users will use this device because it can transmit visual, auditory, and tactile information to the wearer while awake. This exercise and health management focussed game might inspire the real life game manufacturers to come up something similar in the future.

Watch this trailer to have an idea about this upcoming movie.
