I'm surprised they can afford anything with such little money.

Why stop at just Kirito when he would improve the likability of every character?
I think I'll take it to the SAO OT if I can get a rant going, hahah.

It's a trap.
Grammar isn't badass. It's for English teachers and copy editors. Those aren't badass people.
Why? I think it'd be good discussion and further expand upon why AnimeGAF truly hates Asuna and prefers other characters that gets less screen time.
I'm wondering if the music video was ever completed. Updates seem to have stopped at some point (presumably going to backers only), and there is no recent mention of the project anywhere online. Did anyone help fund this? Has anyone seen the video? Are there credits? How long is it? Is is any good?
Well, in that case, give me a few more episodes so that I can better pin down her essence.
Watch up to 13 then. It's pretty essential in trying to understand her. YOu might hate her more by then though.

Well she's such a multifaceted character that I'm not surprised you're having trouble understanding her.
You sarcasm is always welcome.
Now now, Kayos did explain how the fact she's a boring character makes her interesting!
Hey, I was being sarcastic too. I really just want more ammunition to fuel my hatred!

Judging by how often someone in this thread states that they have to finish shows they start, I wonder if large amount of us have slightly more OCD than the average slice of society?
You managed to express everything that is wrong with SAO in one succinct analogy. Kudos to you.
I still enjoy it though, so I guess I'm more Sena than Kodaka
SAO is the exception, it can cut right through those tendencies!
There's an unfortunate amount of people who encourage this by saying "It gets good when you get to episode 12/the culture festival/skypea/etc so just stick with it through the boring and bad parts!"
On the other hand, I have watched a few shows that began poorly but did end up worthwhile - I think it's that constant hope that a show may turn around that really keeps people trying to stick with something they don't enjoy.
The seventeen times that I selected "preview post" before submitting this reply would suggest yes.
Seriously?
I threw into the Kick-Heart kickstarter, though I have to admit, the only Yuasa anime I've seen in the past was Tatami Galaxy (which, admittedly, was fabulous). I should probably watch his other stuff at some point.
I've no desire to throw in $10,000, though - even if I could spare the funds, I'm pretty sure that dinner with Yuasa and Oshii would be an amazing way of making me feel as thick as two short planks.

That's.... a lot. lol.
To be fair, One Piece gets good way before Skypiea!

It's more of a curse really.
I don't think it has been completed yet.

Not exactly promising.

This was me with Gundam AGE
. At least until the point where I finally accepted that wasn't going to happen but decided to stick with it anyway because I'm stubborn and/or so I could warn future generations.Lucky Frenchies.

I understand that some shows do, really truly, improve as they go along. Hyouka is a fair example of this, as is Towards the Terra/Terra e.... However they always seem like the exception to the rule - it's far more often that a show will start out promising and fall apart a few episodes on.
Welcome to the club of people who liked the show!
There's me, you, DTL, maybe Envelope and two or three more people
Eureka Seven AO is one good example of the latter.
More Kokoro Connect drama
They are changing the OP theme on the bluray/dvd because the composer of the theme insulted the singer on twitter.

I definitely hope that is the full extent of her involvement.
I have faith. You should too, I mean, it's Psycho Pass.
Xenoblade is the only JRPG you've played?
I think you'd enjoy a lot of games from that genre, you should definitely try some out.

Poor guy was still waiting as of 3 weeks ago, and I haven't seen anything more recent.
Nah, I prefer to see it as being relentlessly optimistic.
I would think not being able to vote is even worse...

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 1
Pretty fun! It did a good job of capturing the manga's blend of humor and sweetness, and smoothed out some of its rough edges through sharp direction and storyboarding. Shizuku and Haru have good chemistry together, and I think the voice actors did a pretty god job of portraying their characters. Haru's quirkiness and how people react to it was brought out nicely. The show is quite pleasant to look at; the animation, if not outstanding, is solid with some nice cuts for the comedic moments, and I like the bright colors and art. Promising start.

Daaaaamn it.
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - 13 [OVA]
I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. Rika is just... amazing.
Was hoping Meat would lick Yozora's feet in apology. Would've been the end for me.
I suppose so, total radio silence since August 12. The guy running it (and almost everyone who voted, I guess) must have completely forgotten about it.

This show has so much drama. lolz.

My Little Monster - Episode 1
Holy fucking shit. Brains Base isn't just back, they've gone beyond my imagination. This is by far the most impression first episode of this genre I have seen in years. Romantic comedies aren't really my genre, but I do give the ones which look interesting a try, especially those with shoujo elements. Here, I was totally blown away. I didn't really know what to expect, but boy.... that was so fucking good.
The production here is top notch. Everything from the backgrounds, to the character art, to the animation, it just pops out. Bright colors, nice lighting, really charming atmosphere. It definitely feels like something like Jellyfish Princess, rather than Penguindrum or Sengoku Collection. There's a real sense of polish in the visuals which gives the solid direction that extra push.
But the real winner here that elevates the entire work from "great" to "amazing" is the script. I'm not familiar with the manga, so I don't know how faithful this is, but it definitely can't be easy to pack the sequence of events in the introductory episode into a normal runtime while still feeling like everything has space to breath. Nothing felt rushed, the characters were developed well, the jokes were funny, and they explored an entire spectrum of emotions. Really amazing stuff.
P.S. Oh and the OP rocks too. <3

Just as well. We all know Gunbuster would win.
