Eureka Seven AO - Flawless Flowers in Jungfraujoch
I'm not even going to bother saying more about this. This is a gag OVA with a one track mind, and this is the track:
30 minutes of this shit. Over and over. Take that as you will. I'm going to go hide under a blanket now. Bye.

Magi 01:
It was alright, I guess. Nothing particularly special, one or two nicely animated bits toward the end but otherwise it's average. Overall the artwork and animation were alright, some stuff looked bad though. It has good music, which is nice.
Not sure if I'll continue.

Glorious, wasn't it? Watching Ao slowly accepting his inner crossdresser was nice~

It wouldn't be a school anime without the obligatory pool/beach/someexcusetoputthegirlsinbikinis episode.
Interesting that a bonus episode drops something I'd consider to be a pretty big bomb like

Speaking of obligatory school anime episodes, the school festival is here!. This episode made me realize I have no idea what the Classics Club is or what it actually does, or what it's manuscript is supposed to be.
This new ending is adorable, I love it.

his sister returning. I didn't think she was gonna stick around and it was gonna be one of those "I'm just visiting for a bit, but I'll disappear before the next real episode like I was never here" things the way it never showed her face, but judging by episode 12 she's here to stay and her face isn't.

But
the student who cheats is taken by the Nekodamashi. The village knows that he cheated in the tournament - that's why he vanishes. Like Reiko in the first episode, anyone who doesn't conform to the rules - whether it's having the Power or cheating in the tournament - is made to vanish.

the terribleness was overhyped here
when it came down to it the only thing that really disappointed me was the appearance not being disheveled enough
I have done my duty. I have successfully fulfilled my missions to make the ending of Aincrad not so terrible. I am proud.
Now I miss that, I thought that's metaphor
I should paid more attention, thanks for clearing that.

I'm sorry that you can't appreciate fun!
Viral.
Of course not, it's the anime couch. Now just have a seat, relax, and the good times will begin shortly.
You should've known that if I hated it, duckroll would hate it too if not more.
EDIT: Also, you fuckers added 7 pages while I was sleeping. I had to catch up on so much crap. And you actually posted stuff I wanted to talk about in relation to SAO. Now I have to quote and reply to this shit!
So Kayos hates fun too? Why am I not surprised.
That was nowhere near fun.
Honestly, I find Fairy Dance to be a much more cohesive, fun, and action-packed that Aincrad. It's less rage enducing, as long as you stay away from the new Team, and it's easily enjoyable due to how the new game works. The premise will leave people in hatred though. I can already feel it.
So Kayos hates fun too? Why am I not surprised.
But you just said it wasn't fun, so you DO hate fun.
So Kayos hates fun too? Why am I not surprised.
Kayos hates pretty much everything.
Unless they're bad shows like Accel World and SAO.
That's not true! I love fun. I just hate aimless, nonsensical fun, that deviates from everything and anything with the main series. I don't know how to exactly explain my dislike of that ova. meh, w/e.
Glad you liked it. I found the pacing to be fairly good but I was disappointed that they skimped on the boss. I mean... heck, they finished it before the OP.
They are. It's more important in the side stories because it's needed for Kirito's characterization. I'm wondering as a result how they're going to handle Fairy Dance due to this.
That's kinda offensive to imply that duckroll has terrible taste in shows.
The anime does a shitty job of making certain things clear. I'll concede to that. However, the LN does a better job than not to explain some stuff. I'll try and answer if you are.
1.) Kirito felt the need to fight now since it might be unsafe for people to travel 25 more floors. If he has a chance to minimize casualties while having the opportunity to save everyone, he would do it.
2.) Yup. I can't describe this as anything more than an asspull.
3.) They did die. In the LN, Kayaba Akihiko says that they're all dead, however, he created that area so he can talk with them before they go their ways. Hence, why Asuna and Kirito were crying at the end.
4.) Will not answer this yet.
5.) They're dumb kids. Plus they were sort of living in the moment.
6.) Nothing.

Latent racism acting up given how much you hate the Swiss.
I'm not racist....
WOW! That's not what I meant at all!
Hooray. So, for real this time:
Code:Breaker 01:
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It had attractively dated if generic character designs, clean presentation, a few moments of good animation, and an OST that had a few impressive orchestral tracks. Ogami is undoubtedly going to be an insufferable asshole, but I like the dynamic he has with his moral foil Sakurakouji. She's immediately established to be somewhat of a Mary Sue (most attractive and athletic girl in school, has superhuman night vision eyesight and photographic memory, etc.) but--and I fully recognize that this is shallow--I love her character design and she's a fairly adorable character, and the prospect of watching this would be much less bearable if it was nothing but stock angsty bishounen Ogami meting out justice.
The
animal cruelty
people being incinerated
That's how I felt when I was reading through the LN. It's so addictive and fun that I easily overlook these parts.
Oh, man. I can't believe I didn't notice it until seeing that post. I missed the entire point of the ED until now. I'm so slow.
I thought it was just a "haha, the guys are the baddies and the girls are the detectives" fun thing. I guess it makes more sense in context after I finished the series.
Wanted, as in wanted romantically by the girls.
Deep.
Sword Art Online - 14
I like watching other people play RPGs
The art and animation are awful in this episode, at least so far.
Animation was pretty solid. Did you not watch the fight scene. It was fairly well done. Nothing compared to episode 2 and 9 though.
I thought this was clear since that ED first aired....
Duckroll missed the best one.

This show is definitely going to be DTL-aproved.

And people complain when I point out things that are 'too obvious'!
Kirito survived having his brain fried because while he did die in-game, Kayaba Akihiko created a zone where he could talk to him therefore delaying the process. In the end, however, he decided to let him live.
If you continue reading you'll see those are only my partial impressions
Oh yeah. I forgot. I know one person did that. Nvm.
Wat?! After all, it's how they escape.
I'm sorry, but the fact that you put that in spoilers made this even funnier to me.
Wait, this is seriously genderflipped musou stuff? Oh man.
Yep!

Ugh. I'm really hoping there is no romance of any kind.
OK, I'll accept that even if the show didn't make that clear whatsoever. It's a good thing I ask these ridiculous questions because it's the only way I've learnt half of what is going on in this show.
However that doesn't explain
how he came back. If he was warped to a "dead zone" he should have stayed there. See if in the last moments with the smallest sliver of health he chopped the other guys head off and thus didn't die because the game was over I'd accept it. But coming back reeked of arse pullery of the first degree. Shameful writing.
Isn't that Kirito's sister, or am I remember her wrong? We only got smaller ganders of her.
Nice. The main characters are from the Shu dynasty, with Guan Yu being the lead. I thought it was going to be cute, innocent fun... but there's some pretty lewd stuff going on in here.
I believe it is. Hopefully
she doesn't punk out like Liz and give up on Kirito from the get go.
You're in for a ride.

Thursday(?) cant come soon enough, hopefully there is some action on that front.
Assuming CR isnt picking up any shows that have already aired, perhaps it is guaranteed that Psycho Pass and Robotics;Notes are two of the three TBA boxes in their simulcast lineup...

Ixion Saga DT 1
Gintama-style humor in a fantasy action RPG setting. The wise-cracking lead, the perverted humor, the trolls all over the place - it's the exact opposite of all those dumb fantasy shows that take themselves way too seriously. Shinji Takamatsu has delivered. Will watch more.
Best innuendo:
The staff have to be intentionally trolling Capcom. The ending of that last fight and the way it called back to the first fight in the episode was just perfect. Amazing. (Spoilers of course.)
