Not enough grey for that. We don't have colours in the sky here.
Anyhoo, hyperbole aside, while I appreciate Jex's point, I thought it was supposed to convey the passage of time - clearly
Satoru and Saki's near-sexual moment
I'm not defending the artistic missteps in episode 5 by any means, but those particular shots were the least of my worries.

At the Otakon music fest in Baltimore tonight for my bday (which was yesterday, but whatevs). Faylan and Natsuko Aso just got done, and JAM Project is up next. Really hoping they do MAXON, or I might just rage . Great show so far.
. Great show so far.Here' my pitch for part 4:
Kirito, for some contrived reason, is forced to play a game where upon logging in, the system creates an immediate duplicate of his personality hosted on some gigaserver (because run-of-the-mill MMO servers can't handle the glory of Kirito). Everytime he logs out, all the experiences of Kirito and DupeKirito are encoded into his mind. Thus, he's never sure which Kirito he is playing as, and the only way to find out is to

I swear to god, A-1 can't be consistent with official English spelling of character names to save their life. First all the Lizbeth/Lisbeth stuff, and now this:
Anyway, the episode was alright. Next two should have some good action.

Even though Crunchyroll, scans for the PSP games, and her own character window last episode show it as "Leafa".

many kiritos would make the community less appealing than DotAs
Didn't "Alert" also say "Alart" an episode or two ago?

I don't know why they can ruin a decent MMO playing episode with more of the Asuna business. Hell even a second flash of her face to remind us of whatever junk they had to do in order to justify playing another MMO can turn all the below average junk in the episode into another oh who the fuck cares.

Maybe, I wasn't paying attention. I only noticed the name since it wasn't fully onscreen last episode and wanted to double-check.
Different studio, I know, but it's a wonder how Tiger & Bunny managed the ridiculous amount of perfect onscreen English that it had when A-1 can't even spell the same word the same way in two subsequent episodes.
Yup.
It's actually be interesting to know how different studios handle this.
*shrugs* Whatever floats your boat, buddy.

Sunrise obviously cares while A-1 is eh, close enough.

Code:Breaker - Episode 5
How do you know these guys are really, really evil? They look like monsters, and they like to lick sharp objects! This show continues to be over the top, bombastic, and totally unashamed of what it wants to be. Good stuff. Lots of action this week, and some pretty interesting revelations and scenarios.
The villains here felt really, really evil, and were probably the most justified killings in the series so far. There's some pretty disturbing suggestions about what's going on behinds the scenes as well. So far the series has been doing a pretty good job of tying seemingly unrelated acts of corruption and the evils of society together in the background, hinting at a larger conspiracy with the main villain behind it all.
I can't wait to see how shit hits the fan soon. When Hitomi finally makes his entrance, I'm sure it's going to be pretty awesome.

This was a rather poor, monotonous episode. The story has noticeably faltered into a tiring repetition, since, aside from the intriguing ending, absolutely nothing happened. Once again, the episode suffered due to it's very deliberate pacing, since, even if I liked the material, this episode should have covered much more of the story, so, hopefully, this relaxed pacing doesn't ruin the ending, since that, along with the
, is the only good aspect of ALO. The enjoyable, adventurous setting has been squandered due the plethora of dull diversions, such as any of Suguha's scenes in the real world or Lyfa's romantic quandaries in the virtual one. As such, there's far too much focus on the dull, love-struck suguha; so much so that Kirito has felt like a side character throughout this arc. All of which would be fine if Suguha was in the least bit interesting.
Suguha's "character development", which was a partial focus throughout this episode, is entirely relegated to the

, even though their appearances are extremely similar. I mean, for all the criticism that Asuna's received, she's a far better character than Suguha. Also, her fanservice was entirely excessive and pandering as hell, but certainly not unexpected. Recon is the weakest, most irritating character in the story, and yet, despite this, I still feel bad for him, due to Suguha's considerable stupidity. In summation, Recon and Suguha deserve each other.
Sugou's intermittent scenes are definitely the worst moments of each episode, since he is unquestionably one of the worst antagonist's I've seen in anime. He's portrayed as this highly unintelligent, absurdly simplistic villain, and it never comes close to working. As such, once again, he, directly in front of Asuna,

All in all, ALO has consistently failed to meet my thoroughly low expectations. The solid execution is entirely wasted on contrived, terribly-written material. Really, the only way this could get worse is if Silica appeared.

Take that back! Surely, Recon isnt bad at all. He's rather underrated and just deserves a chance to prove himself I think. I think he has a unique part to play and will ultimately prove to be a valuable asset to the team, probably more than other characters you want to see, like Silica. His offline out of game self is hilarious and has a nice design.
Shots fired.
Cant wait to see this episode with all the mixed reactions to it.
Those queerat things are weird as hell.

Lucky! I bought tickets but got tripple-whammied by work stuff, the storm, and Otakon's weird booking system that they finally did away with in October.
What is your opinion of Kuroyukihime?

Way too many people involved and not enough caring to do a consistency check on something that small. AKA lazy.
Then I have no idea. If it wasn't for the last one I'd say it's consistent.

It was that scene that made the other events even more impactful.
I thought itd be something happy regarding the brother cause I guess I expected wishes to come true but :/
If it's two subsequent episodes, it has two completely different staffs on it. Sunrise just cares more about nailing English down on a planning level.
Holy shit, that was incredible.

Easily one of the better episode with small and quick gags.

So whoever wants to watch the Sengoku Basara movie dubbed, Funi has it up for this weekend only.

Blah, then what's the point of me buying it then!
That's pretty cool of them.
Tsundere gaffers.
Availability in the middle of the weekend certainly helps.
You have my attention.
But it's usually about the most nonsensical of things, but I guess any kind of attention is good!

I just did what I do best. I took your little world and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to AnimeGAF with a generic protagonist and his harem. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying. If, I told you, a few weekss ago, that, like, these next episodes are going to be horrible, nothing happens. Because it's all "part of the plan." But if I tell you that the next two episodes are aweesome, well then everyone loses their minds!

Boring shit going on as usual but Sugu saved the day.
And LOL at Kirito's 20 min AFK. Smh.
Don't care. I'm out. Out I say. Stopped watching at the conclusion of SAO and not getting back in.
It's not like people have free time during the weekend or anything. :lol
