3. I've never seen a plot develop so fucking stagnantly in my life than in this season. I realize that the main plot has always kind of taken a back seat to each contained story in the episode, but you'll seriously see a stretch of like, 20 episodes without any real plot development whatsoever.

To me, the season got better after
the Amazon Trio arc ends
, at least in my opinion. But man, it can be one hell of a drag getting there.

Weekly Argo

Clearing group breaks through the 28th floor! -No casualties this time either-

We're one step closer to the clearing of the game. The clearing of 28th floor was carried out over approximately 1 week. It was likely a floor that could be cleared without a hitch, but it seemed to have been greatly influenced the unavoidable mental wariness of our players, no thanks to how the might of the Force has been substantially reduced on the 25th floor.

There was much difficulty involved in clearing the game at the beginning, but we've managed to steadily advance through the floors until the advent of the 25th floor. It should still remain fresh in your memories as well, but that two-headed giant-type monster had annihilated close to all of the elites within the Force. Due to that case, the might of the Force ended up sharply declined.

Affecting not only the essential (can't read this part), (can't read this part) due to the pressure caused by that, it ended up imposing a mental burden upon those who participate in the battles, along with those who aid them. However, at the present moment, all casualties have been avoided since the 26th floor. One could claim it to be the result of our cautious clearing, but in actual fact, it seems to be due to the boss monster of the 25th floor being of a significantly higher degree of difficulty when compared to those from other floors.

We do not know when will another such floor, with that difficulty in clearing, appear among those yet to come. However, if the clearing group, that had the Force leading it, were to stop, the game will never be cleared, regardless of how much time passes. I wish to continue looking forward to their activities from now on as well.

We have not gotten our hands on information of the new floor, the 29th, but for the sake of running some sort of information or spectacular images tomorrow, the data collecting party will begin their operations.

A monster in the 22th floor's lake?

Perhaps due to the tragedy that occurred on the 25th floor as well, concerning the mostly overlooked 22th floor, we have received some intriguing news.

It's a story about how a (can't be read) monster might be living there. If we were to discuss about the 22th floor, it happens to be one of the floors with the lowest population in Aincrad. Although the area is spacious, a large part of that comprises of evergreen forests and countless lakes dotting the landscape, with a main town that could be said to be nothing more than a very tiny village.

Monsters do not appear in the fields and the labyrinth was easy; it was a floor taken down in a mere three days.

One of those lakes was what was called "Lord" among the inhabitants. It appears that a fish that struggles with a strength practically comparable to that of monsters lives there. With its shadow being gigantic as well, there were rumours of it actually being a monster.

There haven't been anyone who reeled it in yet, neither has the method to do so been found out. However, it's been said that it had no influence in fishing in that lake normally, day to day.

It is an important established fact that we must always advance towards to the upper floors to clear this game, faster by even a single day, but how about taking a load off your shoulders with a life somewhere like the 22th floor every now and then, a hint towards clearing the game might just be hiding in such a floor, surprisingly enough.

So if I've seen Fate/Zero, then I'm fine "missing out" on Sword Art Online and From the New World? (I'm in school still so I can't watch everything I'd otherwise like to)

Depends on what types of stories you like. I'd definitely suggest giving From the New World a try, but if you're looking for action-heavy shows, you might not like it.

SAO is a fun watch. There are a lot of problems in the show and the people will tell you it sucks but it's fun to watch it and have fun. If you have the time catch up on the episodes and join us ever Saturday for SAOturday.

Sup. There are several people here who will be delighted at the appearance of another Sailor Moon fan.

Unfortunately as I'm going through SuperS for the first time I don't think I'll be able to respond to anything you've spoilered, but I appreciate the fact that you took the time to read my post. Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the warm replies, y'all.

I take, from lurking this thread, that the best shows coming out this season are Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and From the New World? I'll probably work those in while I catch up on older anime I haven't seen yet. I reckon I don't watch nearly as much as some here.

Still, look forward to catching up as much as I can.

Edit: Mad Pierrot, the big block of spoilers really aren't that spoilerish on the main plot. The complaints I make are more about how SuperS is structured. The spoilers were mainly there to cover my own ass (one mistake, and I'm gone forever). Still, I understand if you don't want to look at them.

I probably wouldn't look at that other thing, though.

I would say the From the New World, Psycho-Pass, and Chuunibyo are the best shows this season so far. That's just me though. Duckroll will probably say Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and PP are the best shows. It depends.

Yep, that about sums you up.

The main guy is basically GAF incarnate. The main girl is cute, but overbearing. [B]Premise is kind of boring.[/B] Artwork is acceptable.

I hope the next couple of episodes pick things up.[/QUOTE]

The idea of building a giant robot and having it compete with other robots sounds boring?

[quote="Mad Pierrot, post: 43160805"][B]Sailor Moon SuperS 128:[/B]

Hito finally managed to twist my arm.

The first episode of the dreaded fourth season of [B]Sailor Moon[/B] isn't so bad. It's also entirely possible that this was because it was a standard introductory episode setting up villains and concepts.

I actually kind of like the Black Moon Circus or whatever it's called. The "city of dogs and monkeys" speech that the members of the organization gave upon their introduction was surprisingly biting, and it's oddly nice to have villains that are refreshingly specific in their misanthropy rather than being generic RETURN EVERYTHING TO DARKNESS nihilists. Amazon Trio is *~FABULOUS~*.

So, it's looking suspiciously like Usagi and Chibiusa are going to do everything as a duo based on the way that some of the stock transformations and attacks were animated. I mean, I finally managed to be okay with Chibiusa's presence in the show, but I don't know if I can handle an upgrade to co-main protagonist. She's not [I]that[/I] great of a character.

[spoiler]Kaoru and Michiru come back ;_;[/spoiler][/QUOTE]

"Steaky"? You really think he's quite the dish huh? Haha.

Yeah, this was probably my least favorite of the series too but the second half actually has some of my most favorite moments for the whole entire series.

As much as I like Sailor Moon, I think I actually like [B]Smile Precure![/B]'s [spoiler]Pegasus assistance[/spoiler] better. The stock animation is probably about equal lenght.

[quote="Syrinx, post: 43161377"]The three hardest parts for watching Super S for me were that:

[spoiler] 1. Greater focus on Chibi-Usa.
2. Many of the characters the villains pursue have little to no connection with the Sailor Senshi. Where in the previous season you would learn a little bit about the girls in each episode, here there is wayyy too much focus on random schmucks.
3. I've never seen a plot develop so fucking stagnantly in my life than in this season. I realize that the main plot has always kind of taken a back seat to each contained story in the episode, but you'll seriously see a stretch of like, 20 episodes without any real plot development whatsoever. [/spoiler]

To me, the season got better after [spoiler]the Amazon Trio arc ends[/spoiler], at least in my opinion. But man, it can be one hell of a drag getting there.

Also, first post on Anime-GAF.[/QUOTE]

Hello. :)

In regards to your second spoiler...[spoiler]The first two series had quite a few regular by-standards as targets too. In the first half of SuperS there's actually a bunch of people close to the senshi who get targeted, such as Usagi's mother, Motoki's younger sister and girlfriend,Naru(again), then there's the episode where Makoto's childhood friend who's a writer shows up and then each of the senshi themselves get targeted as well.[/spoiler] I agree that it does feel like a step down after the awesome Sailor Moon S though.

I agree also that the season got better in the later half.

Jojo's is pretty badass. It knows what it wants to be and it delivers what it promises. So much fun.

From the New World two episodes in is a pretty intriguing series. Lots of mystery and an unsettling, sinister feeling pervades this show. Worth checking out for sure.
