Context Trivia / SwordArtOnlineAbridged

Go To

1* ApprovalOfGod: Season 2 uses Music/GreekFire's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgRoxf0b8UQ A Real Life]]" as its theme song. Go to the official video on the band's channel and you'll see that they liked almost every comment talking about how SAO Abridged brought them there, suggesting the band doesn't mind that the show gave the song a ColbertBump.
2* AsHimself: Fluffles the cat is listed As Himself in the credits.
3* GodNeverSaidThat: Many detractors who are fans of the original series say that SWE hate the original series and makes it to bash the original, in comparison to DBZ Abridged where the people making it are fans and makes it more as a love letter to the original. However, [[https://old.reddit.com/r/swordartonline/comments/4b8rqd/hi_were_something_witty_entertainment_ask_us/d172m1m/ SWE are also fans of the original SAO]] and say they don't hate the original series either. They are even friends with people involved in the dub, as evident by Creator/BrycePapenbrook being in a video.
4* MissingTrailerScene: The opening montage for each episode shows [[spoiler:Heathcliff blocking a strike from The Skull Reaper, but once the series gets to that point, it's instead a ZeroEffortBoss.]]
5* TheOtherDarrin: Several major characters other than Kirito have their voice actors replaced at the onset of Episode 5. xbubblemunkyx replaces Misanda as Asuna, Dizzasta replaces Jragoswinn as Klein/[=BallsDeep69=], and Octopimp replaces Jragoswinn as Tiffany[[note]]AKA Agil in the original ''Sword Art Online''[[/note]]. Klein will have to be recast in future appearances again after allegations came against Dizzasta.
6** Schmitt was voiced by Chase Face in Episode 5 before being replaced by Kaggyfilms in all later appearances.
7* RealSongThemeTune: Episodes 1 to 11 use the Music/ThirtySecondsToMars song "This is War" for the opening. From episode 12 onward the opening is "A Real Life" by Music/GreekFire instead.
8* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: [[https://twitter.com/SomethingWittyE/status/1637931727212646400 Something Witty Entertainment announced]] in March 2023 that they would be cutting ties with Dizzasta (the voice of Klein) following allegations of abuse, including from his ex-wife and Asuna VA xbubblemunkyx.
9* ThrowItIn: Occurs frequently according to WordOfGod, but here are some confirmed examples.
10** While recording in the booth, xbubblemunkyx improvised Asuna's SpitefulSpit to Oberon at the end of Episode 12.
11** In Episode 14, Recon's fearful screaming was improvised by his actor. After the episode first premiered on Twitch, the creators said that they had the actor do multiple takes of it, but went with the one that included a reference to ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom''.
12* WhatCouldHaveBeen: During the 10th Anniversary Stream it was revealed that Asuna would have been recast to Sydsnap in from Episode 5 onwards had Carrie (xbubblemonkyX) not submitted the final audition last-minute.
