Technically it's number 2. I also found the character art and the proportions to be very awkward during the game section this episode. Specifically, Lyfa looked fucking weird.

I don't remember that the OVA had a mini-squid girl part.
I agree.

I have this, but I could have sworn I had one with Ui acting like the babysitter or something like that, but can't seem to find it now...

I can't remember, Squid Girl S2 was this year, wasn't it? lol

Alart! Alart!
(Maybe that's how you spell Alert in this fictional fantasy language and the menus are all in game!)
But really, I still don't understand why people just willing to jump in and play another game after either experiencing the presumed hell that is SAO or watching people die while playing SAO. I mean, I suppose I can understand Doucheymacdoucherton (the Fourth) somehow managing to take over the old servers and shit because he's an EvilRaperDude who wants to own Asuna
(clearly he's the one who put her in a cage, right? This show MUST NOT have any subtlety whatsoever)
Then again, it's not like any of the background shit made any sense in the first arc, so why ask the hard questions.
I also can't believe how stupid the payoff to the whole
daughter thing
entire cast of SAO (or at least his harem) shows up again, it makes perfect sense
Your face, that's who!
But really, fuck this guy. I suppose I'm the only one who hates him more than EvilRaperDude. When you write in reasons why your protagonist is perfect, you know you've lost the plot somewhere.
Of course, this being the dumbest show ever, he doesn't even think to - oh I don't fucking know - hack into the servers to find out more about what's going on... let alone just track down EvilRaperDude and beat him to a pulp until he gets some clear answers, vigilante style. Nope, his first fucking thought is to PLAY A FUCKING VIDEO GAME.
Well fuck you too buddy, fuck you too.

Totally this season's guilty pleasure. Started watching because some of the Mayo Chiki guys were involved, even though I expected it to be terrible - and it is. But it's also surprisingly fun. Yes, it's a harem show with incest shit or whatever, but it's unusual from the get go in that the harem comes totally out of nowhere. It's just kinda there all of a sudden, for no obvious reason and with no character introduction. The dude is also unusual in that he seems to be totally aware what's going on, but he doesn't give a fuck and speaks his mind. Comedy is good, totally predictable but well timed and delivered, and the characters are completely one-dimensional but fun. All in all, this is way more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

There's an awesome PBS documentary about a year long tour on the USS Nimitz called Carrier that you Americans can still watch for free (god damned music rights means I can't get to the videos anymore!). The sociology of ships is just fascinating to me... combine that with my military fetishism and it's a boiling pot of hype waiting to spill over when the right thing comes along. In video games, that's Chis Roberts saying he wants to make a new Wing Commander that can only run on technology that hasn't been invented yet. In anime, that's Yamato apparently. lol
Honestly, Penguindrum and its Lindelofian second half just turned me off watching Utena any time soon. If Utena is anything like Penguindrum, I'm not sure if I ever want to watch it. Maybe that's my fault, since I'm in the minority when it comes to not thinking it's the BEST ANIME EVER MADE, but that's just how a feel about that unfortunately.
What's that one called?
And well, I look at Asia as being like 20-50 years behind "us" when it comes to this stuff (and really, it's not like we have any right to judge anyone given our fantastic track record), so I think that they're basically relying on the two types of stories that the American scene relied on for ages - either it's going to be closet stories or gay utopia stories.
I mean, I know that there are queer activists in Japan, but I just don't think we'll be seeing the Japanese version of Milk any time soon, if ever. Sean Penn would be willing to take on the leading role though, I'm sure!
But there are other types of stories that can be told that don't have to be all gay or all gay-bashing. Gay parenting as a trope, for one (either from the parent's perspective or from the kid's perspective) seems to be such an obvious one given the Japanese pre-occupation with family. You already have Intersexuality, which is probably as close to a PFLAG-sponsored show you could have in Japan, but it's something they could clearly take to the next level. Obviously, the alternative would be to just have gay characters who just are. They're not worried about being ostracized for wanting to kiss someone with the same bits as them, but they don't have to enter a fantasy world where everyone is fabulous and wears leather chaps.

I think they have successfully addressed a minor issue I had. The introduction of Kurugaya seems to have at least brought in another person to join the wacky antics of Masato, Kengo, Riki, and Kyousuke. The other girls were just annoying (the previous new one just had an annoying voice for her role, dont like that voice at all), or really shy/timid, so I was kind of unenthusiastic in the past when they had any focused screentime. Though Kurugaya will be fun with the others. Oh well, this one was really funny and enjoyable.

I do wish they went back to the person sending the notes for the secrets, though I guess we need to introduce everyone still. How many more?

Does it happen to be a 3 minute type of show? Because if it's a full 24...

If its K-On related and cute, you will find it.

Welcome to the fold.
I thought you hadn't watched School Days.
Okay, some thoughts on the finale:
-Just to make sure: Sekai actually was pregnant, right? Because:
1. She felt nausea when she was alone in her room.
2. She kept feeling her stomach.
3. There's no way her pregnancy could have developed to the stage where the baby even resembled a fetus.
4. ...Kotonoha was nuts.
-You know who I feel most bad for in all of this? Kokoro. She was such a sweet, excitable little girl, who looked up to her sister and really liked Makoto. Now, Makoto's been butchered, her sister is now a criminally insane murderer, and she'll always have to live with having that stigma attached to her of "the sister of that crazy girl who killed another girl and carried around the severed head of her boyfriend."
-I have to admit, I enjoyed seeing Makoto get stabbed repeatedly. He had it coming.
-Did the writers plan this from the beginning? Or did all this come out of... I don't know... the writing team misinterpreting the mad screams of the lead writer pissing out a kidney stone as the official template to end the show?
-...
-...DEAR GOD WHAT THE FUCK?!

I've said numerous times that I have watched it and it scared me to the point I couldn't sleep.

Were you scared that you might never find an anime that good again?
Oh my bad. I knew you hadn't seen either that or Blood-C and it always escapes me which you had.

There's always the possibility of hysterical pregnancy, but I wouldn't trust Kotonoha's medical expertise on this issue.
Makoto rapes Kokoro in one of the visual novels too.
Greatest Love Story Ever Told.
I think you did, actually, but I don't recognise your user name.Actually, I first heard of LOGH on gaffu; I have no idea what the contemporary animu blogosphere thinks because I don't listen to them ever at all ever ever never. I understand the huge length being a turn-off, but to be fair, this ain't no shounen bullshit.
My other most favorite and highly recommended animu shows are Boogiepop Phantom, NANA, Anne of Green Gables, Mononoke & Trapeze, and Mushishi (but everyone likes Mushishi). Of course, you would know this if you ever accepted my MAL friend request.(I sent you one...I think.)
It's something we'll never know!
It's totally intentional. You should definitely check out the VN. It's even been official translated and released in English!
Nah. It's cool. Sorry for the attitude.
Man, I was munching on a sandwich and I slept like a baby after watching it.
Like a BOSS. Syrinx's impressions were delicious.
such a bastion of filth!
I just finished eating some fried chicken.
I just want to say that your School Days impressions have been some of the best to have ever graced AnimeGAF.
Now watch Arjuna because I'm (temporarily) bored of Blood-C being the next step for people after School Days.
Im at work but if you can find a copy of the dvds online and link me to it Ill buy it.
