I thought SAO was the worst thing on the internet since child porn.
But after episode 3, it just become average anime shit.

I feel happy!
One movie I never watched before, one I already owned on DVD and love. I need more Ghibli stuff on BRD yet though.
I need more Ghibli on BD, even if the UK BD's have all been tampered with to some degree.
Accel World man. Accel World.
what if i told you that it might or might not be in contention

Only reason I give it a chance, actually. Then again, I haven't read any manga in years.*

Saber is actually pretty cool tho, I mean main complain to her were his bitchiness and talking too much. But She's actually pretty silence and obedience like stereotypical Dandere.. Shit became mess when she's disagreeing with something, she won't stop.. I think that much are consistent in Zero and Stay Night.
She's pretty cool in UBW when she got along with her master and got nothing to bitch.
The hate is too strong with you man...

I've officially forgotten why I ever enjoyed this show to begin with. Was it actually ever better than this? (don't answer, Envelope) Did I ever actually enjoy anime? The summer season made me forget what it feels like. I can't be so jaded by everything when I don't even have particularly good taste, because that just makes me an asshole. And I don't want to be an assholeNeed Shinsekai Yori ep. 1 desperately.
Plot note:So Dizelmine wants Space Tiger's head after all? Fine, I guess. I guess that makes episode seven retroactively slightly less stupid. But only a little.
You may have a growing case of the monocles.
To be fair, I have cut down drastically on using that.
People are ignoring the 800 pound ricebowl in the room.
People just troll you because they love you, my friend.
I don't think we're spamming. I mean... at least we're talking about anime.
Hey, man, Saturday's tomorrow.

To be a hypocrite I would have to condone the practice I was engaging in. Do you see me condeming anything?
Way too poorly made for that.
SAO constantly espouses the virtues of archaic family structures, where the men are the providers and women belong in the kitchen, where children in need of nutrition and education are left to whither in orphanages unsupported by the government.
Is this really acceptable in 2012?
I'm Haly, and I approve of this message.

I love me some Saber.
Sure she got torn the fuck up in FZ but who careS? shes cute and has awesome power.
Plus she makes a REALLY good figurine. Saber is lovely.

I think the word you are looking for there is condemn?
I see. I see my friend.

Accel World is at least entertaining in its awfulness.

I dont understand, the show started strong with drama but then when the show finally focused upon that most gripping things from episode one and even tying in how in real life drama can affect election, you thought it went weak and bad?
I dont know, I thought it was tied in well to making elections way more interesting than they are irl, and quite fitting for school with over 6000 students and billions of yen flowing through it doors, they even have factions.
he was just making an observation.
Have they not announced the VAs yet for Magi?
Chiaki Omigawa as everyone.
Space Brothers is truly greater than the sum of its parts. It has more heart than just about any other anime Ive seen. Other than production values, its pretty solid. But its also a long running daytime series so the low budget is kind of understandable.
Yeah I was thinking that too. Just by acting a certain way a person is condoning it.
It also doesn't use fucking still frames for fighting.

I wouldn't know. I have never watched an episode in it's entirety.

I dunno... is AW really that bad? As bad as SAO? I find that hard to believe...
I would not be surprised. Although I think Oda Nobuna should be #1.
I don't despise the show anymore! It's just bad!
SAO. It fucked it's sister.

It was pretty neato. Good tone, good pace, and the jokes hit right. Can I say it doesn't look as nice as Hyouka? I don't think it really achieves all the same stuff visually. Didn't like the OP or ED, but at least the OP is visually interesting I guess.

To be fair, that technique is well known throughout anime and widely used.
I do agree that its a REALLY cheap way to show a fight or action, but its pretty standard.
Personally I vastly prefer sakuga.

It's far better, by which I mean far worse. It's kind of hard to explain what makes it so potent.

Well, not all dictatorships have to be corrupt!
Haly is aligned with the radical liberal anime agenda trying to destroy traditional anime family values in this country. Haly voted against SAO over 99% of the time and was graded F by National Right to Glop. We can't trust him to protect Aincrad's founding principles.

I like it but it just doesn't exactly set me on fire. I also can't think of a slower show this year. Even without thinking very hard I would place a few shows ahead of it.

SAO genuinely made me angry and despise Japan on a Parish-level though. Anime has to work really hard to get me to feel that way.

I guess taking a two week break in the middle of watching it pretty much left me with it's all drama, all the time. While there was drama at the start, it was basically shoved away and stashed as foreshadowing that you really don't give a second thought to.
Maybe I just don't care for drama when I'm expecting something else.

You're missing out, Jex. I haven't laughed so hard at an anime since School Days.

What does that even mean?
AW reached that point where its excuse for a "plot" is so vapid and shallow, you can easily overlook it and just enjoy the fights, of which there are plenty.*
SAO, on the other hand, still tries to push its heavy-handed "plot", without providing any alternative means of enjoyment such as aforementioned fights.

I have seen a single episode of AW.
Chuunibyou seems to have different aspirations. Its not as detailed as Hyouka, but it looks much more active. We haven't really seen enough of the actual show to determine if the quality has truly dropped precipitously or if it just looks mediocre in certain scenes. I mean, it hasnt even aired yet!

The wish fulfilment in AW is truly on a whole new level compared to SAO - you can tell it's a later work because the author has really refined his craft in the worst possible areas. It's pretty amazing.

But I thought the fact that the dude was Cartman was supposed to mitigate that.
Or is it just an even more cynical ploy at reaching new depths of otaku-depravity?
Cross Days was pretty boring to actually play compared to the previous two, but the concepts amuse people when described in summarized form, so maybe a compressed 12 episode anime could be made into something fun.
He knew the right pander buttons to push, that's for sure!
But the show seems to flow better than SAO does, although some of that has to do with the well done battles.

Seriously, I'm reading the manga and it's already insane. An anime about it would just be on a whole new level.
Also, it would perfectly troll Makoto even more. lol
It feels more like an attempt to move away from having a mary sue for a lead, but Kawahara just couldn't help himself and things happened and a volume later it was a full blown harem again.
