Perhaps one of the most annoying anime tropes:
A person's life is in dire IMMEDIATE danger but their savior pauses to have an argument about saving them with someone whos telling them not to go. Why do people keep creating these kinds of scenes? To build suspense... sure if you think your audience are a bunch of brain dead freaks who wouldn't notice such a thing. Why?!!

You write it and I'll make the game engine but we'll need a level designer. LET'S DO THIS!!
To be honest, SAO discussion hasn't moved much. You can find some fun one-liners and nice one-post jokes from some of the regulars in the OT though.
Don't they do this in TV and movies too?

Yeah but why watch those things when one can watch more anime?
Edit:
I mean I don't know who to blame here: the director? The writer? Whoever it is needs to find better times to have these conversations or get creative with how they mask it. Examples of where I see it done well is when the argument is had on the way or in the process of achieving something until it comes down to the moment of no return. When done like that, the inflection point is a brief moment. Another interesting approach is the flashback where one can tell the story of the universe if they choose. I personally am not a fan since it breaks continuity but it doesn't leave you questioning the sanity of the characters involved.
SAO has blessed us with a lot of funny images.
I'm at work, so I can't see... is it Crawling? An AMV without Crawling isn't an AMV.
Yeah this trope sucks.
"No Dont go! Its too dangerous!"
It might as well be saying "fuck that character in trouble! Save yourself!"
You know the hero cant do that. You also know immediately how it will end.
On rare occasions, the show will throw a curveball, but not often enough.
let's just hope for them to be included in the BD'sSo the awesome Chuunibyo ED is for those web episodes only?
Guess I'll never get crisp frames for avatar purposes so everyone can sport one.
I see Kirito has Saya's blessings.

I key quality of a Tragic Hero is they always fail to protect everything they set out to protect. I hope they don't Grave of the Firefly Kirito ;_;
Like hell they would ever take that kind of risk with a cash cow like SAO
I've heard this OP before. I don't know where though. I don't really like it but at least the "DOO DAH DAH DAH DAH" is distinctive. The ED song is rad though. I'm really glad it isn't the one from the Lite episode. I hated that.
No, just the child abuse.

France looked pretty good. I wish they did more scenery/building shots, but maybe they are saving it for the future episodes. I really like the backgrounds of the show and the heavy usage of shading. While they are not as stylish or creative as the ones in Sengoku Collection, they still looked pretty good to me.

At least it exists in these short episodes. Good enough for me.
Its a new song, but the problem is it sounds like a million other OP's, which is why its so familiar. Its very generic.
No, I'm quite certain that I've heard it before. Possibly in content related to Chuu2.
The writer is to blame. Ideally, the viewer should be in a position where the characters don't have to explain why the scene should impact the viewer as much as it should. The viewer should understand why a character is struggling to make a choice implicitly. If you see a scene like this, it means the writer failed to build up the scene properly either through poor characterization or poor plot escalation.
Edit: On the other hand, the director could also implicitly show that the character is uncomfortable with a choice he's making through body language or something. Either way, it requires an implicit understanding of the character or scenario which I assume doesn't exist for whatever you're talking about.
It was used in one of the PVs. The not-chuunibyou one.

Still my favorite show of all time. Creates such a neat, living world, without nitpicking every detail about it. I loved the characters from this show, but I honestly would welcome a new series just to return to that world, even if the cast was entirely different.
I can't tell if you're serious or not cuz most people hated all things Asuna in the episode.
It looks like a hella ugly fish.

That's neat!

I've liked most of the interactions between Kirito and Asuna. I'm a sucker for straightforward romances, especially when there's sexy time involved.
Other than Lizbeth's episode and some cheap feels from episode three, Asuna's waifu speech about falling in love with Kirito is probably the only other time that the show has managed to get to me emotionally.
More like remember. Back in their prime, they created some of the most engrossing worlds.

Yes! Let the hate flow through you! Accel World: #hatewatch anime of the year!
I could have watched fifty episodes of the E7 cast just traveling around their world and doing fun shit, no lie.
Play more JRPGs!

Star Driver - Vague random final impressions or something
I ended up enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would, given how largely formulaic and repetitive it can be. I think a lot of this is due to the show's design choices, particularly character and mechanical. I loved the Kiroboshi versions of all those characters and their associated Cybodies were all very unique and interesting. I'll admit that way back when I watched one episode and put it on hold that I wasn't crazy about Tauburn's design, but it really grew on me when I watched it through this time.
The story, while not perfect, was more than serviceable. Everything that took place in Zero Time was probably my favorite part of the show. The Cybody fights were all entertaining and well choreographed, especially as the series progressed.
I should also mention that I really like the soundtrack, especially Monochrome (though I really prefer the version that leads into the Cybody fights but couldn't find it). The second OP (Shining Star) really grew on me as well.
Glad I picked up the BD's for this...a very enjoyable series indeed.
Next up is Fantastic Children thanks to recommendations from duckroll, among others.

Monochrome is amazing, I missed it. Tauburn was amazing especially dual swords, I miss Star Driver.

Put down $60 for Yuasa's kickstarter. His stuff has been hit or miss for me, but I figure trying to support this sort of thing is a good thing for the industry.

You've been exposed. Reputation ruined.
You bought the BD? Wow. Dedication, right there.
Seriously! Here's hoping
Lisara's mom gets some love too in those specials.
Unfortunately no.
