What started out as Sword Art Saturday has grown immensely like the World Egg to span three days of activities! But the majority of activities will still be on Saturday.
First off, Friday, make sure you stop by the Aniplex Booth to buy the Sakuracon Exclusive SAO Poster. This will be a high demand product and projected to sell out quickly. In addition, the first 100 will get a ticket to a private SAO autograph Sunday session with all three guests! I'd recommend that you make it a priority to secure yours if you are interested!
The author of SAO will be signing autographs at noon. You cannot get there early enough!
Friday 12:00 PM = Reki Kawahara Autograph #1 (Autographs 4B)
Only official works from Sword Art Online will be signed, no fanart or bootleg material. If you are caught trying to get unofficial work signed, you will be excused from the autograph session without your autograph, even if you waited hours. So make sure it's all official works!
Saturday still remains the focus day.
All you SAO cosplayers get ready for the OFFICIAL SWORD ART ONLINE cosplay gathering at the Aniplex Booth (335/333/234/232). Basically use the left most entrance of the Exhibition Hall and walk all the way down! Make sure you've had your weapons checked by the peace bond people, we don't want your weapons to be confiscated.
Saturday 11:30 AM = SAO Cosplayers Gathering/MMO Event (Aniplex Booth)
We will also have an interactive event after the gathering MMO style to see who will win tickets to the autograph session on Sunday! So make sure to stick around for the whole thing!
After the gathering/MMO event, we will be heading over en masse to Reki Kawahara's Panel!
Saturday 1:00 PM = Reki Kawahara Panel (Panels 1 6C)
There's a tough decision here though. If you missed his autograph session on Friday, in order for you to hit his autograph session on Saturday, you'd probably have to line up and miss the panel. Oh the tragedy! So make sure you try to hit the first autograph session.
Saturday 2:30 PM = Reki Kawahara Autograph #2 (Autographs 4B)
Only official works from Sword Art Online will be signed, no fanart or bootleg material. If you are caught trying to get unofficial work signed, you will be excused from the autograph session without your autograph, even if you waited hours. So make sure it's all official works!
It's quite a busy day for Reki, but since immediately following the autograph session, he'll meet up with Eir Aoi and Luna Haruna for the Aniplex Premiere of the SAO Dub!
Saturday 4:00 PM = Sword Art Online Dub Premiere With Kawahara Reki, Eir Aoi & Luna Haruna (Panels 1 6C)
Sunday
Sunday 12:30 PM = SAO Autograph Session (Aniplex Booth) TICKETED ONLY. If you were one of the lucky first 100 people to buy the Sakuracon SAO Exclusive poster you will be granted access to this autograph session. Or perhaps you won our MMO Event at the cosplayer gathering. There is NO STANDBY for this autograph session. All three SAO guests will be on hand to sign OFFICIAL SAO merchandise. Only official works from Sword Art Online will be signed, no fanart or bootleg material. If you are caught trying to get unofficial work signed, you will be excused from the autograph session without your autograph, even if you had a ticket. So make sure it's all official works!
