The closing chapter to the Fairy Dance arc and the end of Season 1.
Here's an overview/unboxing for the fourth of four limited edition boxsets from Aniplex of America for Sword Art Online Season 1.
And here's the remaining episodes for both Fairy Dance and SAO Season 1. If there's one thing that entertained me in this arc, it's near the end of the series when Oberon shouts KAYABA. Yes, even Gigguk's video made me laugh.
This very expensive and 'will most likely sell out next' out of print limited edition set from Aniplex of America contains the second half of Sword Art Online's Fairy Dance arc which covers episodes 20 to 25. Note that due to the early release (which is unusual for a lot of English releases) the sets had to be split into multiple parts and as such were given special treatment to make up for the price tag.
The set also provides a bonus DVD of exclusive cast interviews, chipboard artbox, postcards, booklet, a collectible card and on-disc extras including the Sword Art Offline specials and Audio Commentary. Like all Aniplex of America sets, the Blu-ray is region free and contains unlockable subtitles. The audio for this set contains the original Japanese language and an English dub.
Another thing to point out is the audio track for the English audio, like Fate/Zero the content was too big and given Aniplex likes to prioritise on the Japanese part of the discs the English audio had to be reduced to Dolby Digital 2.0. This may be disappointing for many but it's better than not having a dub if you think about it.
