Read vol 1 of the LN? Sure. It's more fleshed out because it has monologues and more detailed explanations. As for the next sections, yeah. i think Fairy Dance and Phantom Bullet are much better than Aincrad.

Just got out of Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning. Better than I expected. Keep in mind I really liked the series despite the writing falling off toward the end.
Will post a bit more in terms of details when I'm not typing on my iPhone. Lol.

Sword Art Online 14
There's so very much I could complain about, rage over, and ridicule, but...no. Not this time. Even when the dialogue was awful and the animation was shit, it felt good, GAF. It was satisfying.
My only regret is that
. It would have been perfect.

the scene above the crumbling ruins of Aincrad wasn't the end of the story forever
The story is not over yet, there are 11 more episodes
, new arc starts next week.So jealous. I don't care about it being mostly a rehash. T&B is one of my favorite recent shows. I'd kill to see it in theaters. Here's hoping it eventually get's a wider US release, though I don't expect it.

Only if Kirito and Asuna had died too :'(
Seriously. After watching K-On! in 720p my DVD of the first season is just horrible looking.
KyoAni shows are beautiful and I need 720p at least

Subete no aware

Because of wonzo, now I can't ignore derp faces. Thanks bro.
Also, since I finally decided to watch the OP, I noticed this:
I guess Does is more than just a Gintama insert song band. lol
The OP sounds so much more mellow than their more up-tempo Gintama "action" songs though.
As for the episode itself... well, when you need to spend a minute explaining the back story, you kind of have a problem. But I guess you just have to accept that with this adaptation, since the individual episodes don't really have arcs to them in any tradition sense.
Mmh, there are so many anime I would like to watch after all these years that I have absolutely no clue about what to choose. In fact I'm beginning to ask myself if I saddly don't prefer reading about them and browsing Gaf than watching. That would be sad.
The initial plan for this season was Robotic;Notes, Jojo and Eyepatch-girl first, but there are so many... and older shows like Baccano and Durarara are really tempting me too (even if the little part of it I saw made me quite uneasy / shat some brick (;_; )
There is K-on too, oh and Eden of the east... and hyouka... and space brothers... Oh God, I'm fucked. Let's browse NeoGaf instead.

Yup. I'm sort of excited for Fairy Dance!

Naturally.
And I don't mean that in a "I hate these characters and want them to die" way. I just think it would have been a really great ending and balanced out some of the Gary Stuism
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really don't like DRRR or Eden of the East. I found DRRR boring with terrible dialogue and Eden of the East was dragged down with ham fisted political messages. Of that list, Space Bros and JoJo are shows I've seen and can really recommend.

Don't need to rush it. You can say that about every single medium. Just find what looks interesting to you and watch it.

You have to if you want to truly understand the disappointment.
Not moé enough!

no probs
LOL. Disappointment started at episode 3 dude.
It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. You've seen most of the worst the series offers. 13 is actually pretty good and 14 isn't really that awful. 12 is sort of terrible, though.
Fixed.

cajun is rather strongly averse to Kirito, Asuna, and their relationship. I'm not sure he'd be able to handle these last two episodes.
Episode 2 was amazing.
Hey man it's ok, just breathe and take a seat right here.
I'll be back with some good anime for you.
Y'know.
I would've enjoyed that ending a lot and probably would've made me like the show more in retrospect.
Oh well.
Hyouka is easily my favorite from that list. I've unfortunately fallen really behind on Space Bros but I hear it's still good.
JoJo and Chuunibyo had some solid first episodes too.

I like AsunaxKirito. Lol. Nothing compared to AW's OTP though!

Code:Breaker 1
How well received is the manga for this? I couldn't stand the characters in this, the main duo just comes off as perfect inserts and everyone just acts so obnoxious. The overwrought dialogue is pretty humorous though. DTL will probably like this show. And if anyone didn't get enough dog kicking from Jojo, there's a bunch of that too.

Now you can understand how I feel.
I am constantly behind because i work an 84 hour work week.
No time to marathon anything until the week after.
I am so behind on everything.
Isn't that the "casting" couch?

SAO isn't as bad as GC, but Guilty Crown episode 12 is more entertaining than anything in SAO.
As far as 'ships in fluff anime go, Asuna and Kirito aren't actually all that terrible. I think they're kind of cute together in a weird way.
They're about the same tier.
which one was episode 12? Is that the one with the king?
Indoctrination. I'm sorry, but you have been suborned.
I didn't say they were good, just that I've seen worse stuff. The show is dumb in so many ways that I kind of root for them.
