Cute, but she's better with glasses and short hair. She looks like a clone of Saori without glasses.
Makoto is always a fine choice for deciding best characters.Makoto?
Verily so.Like a true gent.
Boring? But there were so many good moments between the cast especially shino. It does action well.
To those who've watched Saki, did you go into it without much/any prior knowledge of Mahjong? Cuz I tried to read up on the basics before giving the first two episodes a go, but I'm just completely lost on the game. They are throwing so many terms around, and I don't know if I'm mean to keep up with the layout every time it pans over the board. And I've totally given up on trying to decipher the scoring system. I really want to get into this show, but I just won't be able to enjoy the competitive matches if I can't follow along and understand them. Did you non Mahjong-savvy viewers just let all this stuff go over your head or does it get easier to understand?
Makoto?
Omg wat. Is this from that AW game?
lol
Kirito. Supposedly Accel World takes place in the same world as SAO, but several years in the future.

Hi, I'm Saya Kisaragi, and I care so little aboutbecause FUCK sensibility. I don't quite understand, was class rep-kun actually phased byactually protecting anyone's lives that I will not even profit off their demise and attack while the monster is fucking distracted and eating EVERYONEI'm gong with the latter, because no one in this fucking show truly has any sense of proportion except for maybe the fuckin' elder bairns.all the fucking death? Or the fact that his crush didn't call him by his name?
Hey, maybe it's time to actually get serious now thatI've succeeded at protecting no one and everyone is dead.
Hi, I'm class rep-kun and I don't care about the fact thatI just wanted to take this opportunity to say sorry for the unwarranted intimacy. Because all I fucking care about, is your feelings.I've just witnessed my whole class be brutally murdered,
I hope the disappearance of the guimave is a significant plot point because that cut made no fucking sense.
I am glad her dad is just as fucking oblivious as her.Everything is starting to seem more and more like a set.What's wrong Saya? Idk everyone I care about is dead.I need some resolution. Things are making less and less sense as they go on.The empty classrooms, the truly disposable supporting characters, the unnerving manner in which she described her life like she was restating a rehearsed script.
Yes it is.
I just found this.
OH MY GODDDDDD
I'm going to one up you. Index crossplay.

Don't forget to vote for my doom.
Some dude on MAL said:I just started reading the Alicization Beginning arc of Sword Art Online aka Volume 9. It was supposedly translated by Teh_Ping two weeks ago, but final exams prohibited me from getting around to reading it. I also haven’t been able to read New Testament 4 of To Aru Majutsu no Index. This week’s Accel World raised an interesting point in which I wanted to talk about. Kuroyukihime elaborated upon the most important bond in Accel World , which is the bond between the person who gives brain burst and the person who ends up installing brain burst. This master/protege relationship is especially potent as each side knows the true identity of each other, so repercussions in the Accel World have great reverberations in the real world. While the bond can be benevolent and almost loving, the counter also holds true.
In the latest episode, Kuroyukihime vents her hatred of her master. In the Accel World novels, the reason behind her hate isn’t revealed yet. Neither is her true name.
The theory that I have is that Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online are Kuroyukihime ‘s parents. If you look closely at Aincrad’s Kirito and Black Lotus, they share many similar traits such as dual swords and the color ‘black.’
Now, I will begin to lay out the foundation for this theory and elucidate some of my speculations.
The setting of the third arc of Sword Art Online, Gun Gale Online, takes place in the year 2026, two years after the events of the Old Aincrad. The beginning of Accel World takes place in the year 2046, 20 years after GGO. In the GGO arc, Kirito was 16 while Asuna was 17. Supposing that Kirito and Asuna get married when they are 22-23, Kuroyukihime would be around 13-14 years old in the year 2046. This matches up with her being in her second year of middle school at the beginning of Accel World .
Second of all, Kuroyukihime has mentioned in the anime that her real name isn’t too much different from her moniker ‘Kuroyukihime.’ Asuna’s full name is Asuna Yuuki. It is highly possible that Kirito and Asuna decided to name their child Yuuki due to events in volume 7, Mother’s Rosario.
Third of all, her name essentially means “Princess Snow Black.” The black part probably comes from Kirito while the princess portion comes from her mother, Asuna. Asuna’s father is the CEO of the electronics company RECTO which manufactures fulldive products. Rich ojous of families are often called “princesses,” so Kuroyukihime bestowing this name upon herself isn’t too far fetched.
Fourth of all, in the seventh volume, Kirito invented some kind of camera at school which can capture real space and replicate it as virtual space and vice versa for the girl with AIDS, Yuuki . This sounds awfully similar to the neutral world in Brain Burst. Yuuki , the girl who died in the medicube testing, had a deep emotional connection with Asuna. So, with regard to what I said before for the naming of Kirito and Asuna’s child, Yuuki being Kuroyukihime’s real name and the daughter of the Kirito and Asuna is very, very possible.
Fifth of all, throughout the side stories and Mother’s Rosario, Kirito has a part time job in which he tests fulldive products in conjunction with quantum theory. In a side story, he actually traveled to the future and dueled with a level 5 Silver Crow and defeated him (it doesn’t specifically say that Kirito won since the quantum field ran out at the last minute, but please, Kirito is a badass). Kirito may have drawn inspiration from this battle and created Brain Burst as a result.
The things that don’t exactly match up are that Sky Raker in Accel World call Kuroyukihime “Saa-chan,” which is nowhere near the name of Yuuki unless Saa-chan is some kind of nickname. Another thing that doesn’t match up is that Kirito is technically dead in Alicization beginning since he was “killed” by a real life Laughing Coffin member. He fulldived without NERvGear into the “Underworld.” I’m not sure what this exactly entails, but from what I’ve read about other side stories post Alicization, Kirito’s harem travels into the Underworld to join/rescue him.
However, the similarities between the Underworld and the Accel World are numerous. A small amount of time in either area is an exorbitant amount of time in reality. In both places, there is an all out war between factions.
The only reason that I can come up with which explains the hate that Kuroyukihime harbors for Kirito would be that Kirito and Asuna both “abandoned” her to live in the Underworld. There may be other reasons in which they chose to live there that include being protectors of humanity or promise eternal life. The Underworld might even be heaven. Anyway, the only way that Burst Linkers in Accel World can meet the creators of Brain Burst is to reach the Underworld, which is possibly on a higher plane compared to the Accel World. As far as I know, that means achieving level 10 in the Accel World.
So ends my theory for linking the stories of SAO and AW together through the vehicle of Kuroyukihime.

That wont happen. It'll start to level out at around 12,00 posts, unless there's some major mitigating factor.
Kirito sure let himself go.
The beauty of animu is that there is no such thing as the correct choice. Except Inaba. All other choices in Kokoro connect are wrong.
Another one who likes the mom. You're good people. :3
I want Heartseed inside of me.
You want a furry mascot to shit in your mouth?

Oh this is gonna be fun.
Is it Michel or Michelle? They keep saying he's a dude, but my eyes and (especially) my ears tell me otherwise.
Favorite guy is the one who just stumbles into that shot during the battle and goes "Surrender and you won't be harmed." I hope he wins the show.
Hell yes.I took that same screencap.![]()

Yeah probably. I don't know if you are big on characters spouting 80s pop culture references of video games, anime and other shit, but from what I remember there was a lot of MMO action and the book was a good page turner. Don't recall any boring downtime chapters. I found some reveals and plot elements to very stupid, but I guess other people will overlook them easily.
