Oh damn! XD
that sounds leagues better than sao could ever hope to be
Imagine if SAO had left the character's real world selves as a mystery. How interesting would it to be for Kirito to meet Asuna and for her not to be the cute, fiery redhead he knew in game? I mean, maybe she isn't ugly, but she doesn't look the same. Could have been an interesting way to "test" their relationship.
Asuna isnt that cute to begin with.
Sao has "cute" designs in general but she is about the most generic looking girl character possible.

Yeah seeing brief glimpses of the broken people that flock to MMOs is definitely better than what we got in SAO which is basically The Wizard except without the product placement.
I sort of like her, but that's the beside the point. I just think the idea of them meeting in the real world and not being the people they knew in game would be an interesting plot twist.

Yep!
Kagami posted this awesome thing from 4chan where the twist would be that all the harem members in this virtual world were all guys. Wonderful.
Don't insult The Wizard by comparing it to SAO.

Obviously the Wizard is better because it has SMB3.

I kind of thought this would be different.

That was always the best part of .hack//. I think the idea of exploring the lives of the people that need to escape to virtual worlds is a great plot that no one's really used to its full potential. When I first heard of SAO, that's what I wanted, but that desire was shot down in the first episode.

So, Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning
I wasn't expecting much from this considering it had been billed as a retelling of an early chunk of the series. These sort of TV show edits rarely do a good job of compressing the crazy amount of episodes they typically try to handle, but that's where T&B actually succeeds where others fail.
The film only uses
, which means that the pacing of the film as a whole is significantly better than most other TV anime to film productions. The first half of the film is devoted to that material, but there are enough changes and additional scenes that it feels like a fresh experience. Stuff like
being added was a nice touch.
The second half of the film is a completely new story with its own villain, and while he isn't exactly intimidating, his special ability made for some cool action sequences. Another nice touch was being able to
. There are a lot of these behind the scenes kind of sequences, and the film is all the better for it.
Animation was pretty standard across the board with nothing really impressing. On the flip side, it was a very consistent production. If you disliked the CG in the TV show, you're not gonna be a fan of it here.
On the whole though, this was much more entertaining than I was expecting and it was good to just see these characters onscreen again. The next film isn't set for release until fall of next year, but that's supposedly going to be a completely new film. Looking forward to hitting that up when the time comes.

the first two episodes of the series
the sequence in which Kotetsu is on his way home and sees the bridal ad, reminding him of his wife

see the heroes each suit up into their respective outfits. Dragon Kid's back and forth with Blue Rose was super cute

That sounds fantastic. I can't wait to see more of Kotetsu. I feel like his backstory was kind of left a little too empty at the end of the series. We get the majority of Barnaby's, while he takes a back seat. I just hope that these movies will eventually lead to the season 2 this show richly deserves.
A lot of the charm of those characters is I knew folk similar to those at the time. Rewatching it is on my to-do list as I'm curious how good it actually was.
After seeing how the first season turned out, I don't.
I thought the second movie will finish the series.
Don't know until you try.

Eureka Seven AO : Jungfrau no Hanabanatachi
This was...I'm having a hard time finding words to describe it.
However, I can say it was considerably more entertaining than most of Eureka Seven AO.

The last couple of episodes felt a bit rushed and weird, but not awful. The series on the whole is really fantastic. I think there are a lot of pieces that need to be expanded upon.
I think the only thing they've said is it'll be all new. While they could certainly wrap everything up in a single film, I really hope they don't.
I thought the last two or three were pretty awful stuff. Felt as if they deviated from what was planned to stretch out the story, and to make room for season two. The conclusion is less a resolution and more just... stagnation.
Basically I'm expecting T&Bs2 to be the superhero equivalent of Gundam SEED Destiny.
this is runsise, dude.

Its sound better than possibility they drag it out IMO, if Sunrise want to milk the franchise, they gonna refresh the series instead.
Nah. They still have the major villain of
Lunatic
I don't see how you can really satisfyingly resolve the
Lunatic
The movies are not "recap movies" at all. The first movie is an origin story using the first two episodes and then an original villain for the rest of the film. The second movie next year will be brand new, and some reports suggested that it would actually take place -after- the TV series. They're definitely approaching this like a superhero franchise rather than standard anime. So it's very possible that the second movie is another stand alone story featuring the characters, which might have hooks for season 2.
Season 2 is definitely happening. The director(s?) on the movies isn't the TV series director anyway.
I was going to mention how the tsundere girl in The Wizard is better than Asuna, but then I remembered that we called her Anal the whole time.
I can't take my statement seriously either
Dude, CBS makes shows for old people. Wrong demographic!
Kirito would probably be played by George Hamilton or some other senior actor. And I'd watch every episode.
I believe that I can conclusively state that my original statement still stands.
I know it's easy to see a season 2 as milking the franchise, but I think Tiger alone can hold at least one more season. More than that is pushing it, but there's still places to go after the end of S1.
Nah.. its just bland, ketetsu vs barnaby resolution still good enough.
Bleh T&B premise never that grand to fail like Destiny, they gonna steal some plot from Civil Wars and its gonna be fine.
They gonna make Blue Rose the series instead.

wow... was the manga's pace as fast as this?
Shit just keep happening!
Not sure if I dig it or not

That's the only way to make a T&B show I do not watch.
SAO nyan nyan?
I.. I can't hate on that.
Hey, thanks for the writeup. I enjoyed Tiger & Bunny more than I probably should have, so you can consider me interested in seeing this now.

All this talk of the Eureka Seven AO OVA and no one is saying what is so great/terrible about it.
T&B is just a great action popcorn show. No shame for loving it. It's like enjoying Iron Man or any of the other super hero things that don't attempt to be that heavy a drama.
I think it's like most E7AO things in that you must witness it for yourself.
SAO nyan nyan?
Now this I would be fine with.
its an insult to cats everywhere

Having already known what happened clouds my impressions of this one, thus this episode was actually fairly enjoyable for me. Yes the events are quite stupid, very stupid in fact, however I have to give credit to the VA's for doing a pretty good job selling the whole thing, particularly Kirito's. The visuals didn't hurt either. Also, those clouds sure were nice. I could go for some more clouds.
Onward to the next adventure, forget the rest of fall season and continue to talk about SAO!

I fucking loved this. It's amazing in all the right ways, and it's stupid in all the right ways. Incredible music, incredible direction, and incredible VA performances.
Normally I hate overwrought melodrama, but this was perfect. I guess that sort of thing only works for me in hot-blooded manly contexts like this.
Better than Gunbuster. A pinnacle of its genre.

As a cat owner/lover I can. The poor kittens that are being insulted by this dress up. Cats have more dignity than these people.
This man gets it!!!!
Welcome to the NHK touched on this to excellent effect.
One of the many reasons that show was amazing.
