Page from a booklet that was the only image available of the bath scene prior to releasing in theaters of English speaking countries Once October 30th came around, Japanese audiences praised the bath scene but since it was from a film still in theaters and no promotional material showed said bath scene other than one small screenshot in a booklet, the rest of the world was left in complete suspense over when they will finally get to see the full scene of Asuna soaking in an Aincrad bathtub since they had no way of accessing it before it’s English release over a month later on December 3rd. ![]() ![]() Fans were finally put at ease once an early viewer of the film confirmed that the bath scene was in the film and the hype for the film’s release was finally set in motion. ![]() With the announcement of the Sword Art Online Progressive film adaptation this finally brought the hype that we would finally get Asuna’s clawfoot tub scene animated and while various trailers and promotional material was posted during the long wait for the film’s release not a single one of them showed the bath scene leaving fans in suspense that maybe it will get skipped like it was before. ![]() 1 Sword Art Online Progressive manga chapter 4 Sword Art Online Progressive light novel vol. ![]() ![]() ![]() By completing this sheet the student will demonstrate an understanding of the material on multiple levels.

Ok, sorry.back to this book: I think one of my favorite parts was when a girl went on a date to Saltair and she rode the train. But a few of the people in the book were Mormon, I think. I read 'Recapitulation' by Wallace Stegner, a non-Mormon guy and a non-Mormon book. This website would have been nice to have back then. It was not just specifically LDS published books, but books written by Mormons and books about Mormons, even those not written by Mormons. The name 'LDS Lit' wasn't exactly what you'd think.
