The fight owned and all but next week's is gonna be absolutely insane in the best way possible!

Sword Art Online: Fairy Dance 1-4

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!

sucks. LOLOL
I don't understand...

I'm still a little irritated I didn't realized Moribito was up on CR. I went through the list of available shows one day but it was one of those hidden behind a "Show Mature Content" option on the website so it never appeared on the PS3 app. Same with some modern Cobra stuff.

What is your opinion of Kuroyukihime?

She was lovely. A cool, confident woman who knew what she wanted, and knew how to get it. An empowered femme fatale who wasn't easily taken advantage of. She was also delicate, and pettanko. Basically perfect.

I have a hard time choosing between her and Niko.

That's puzzling as hell considering the amount of shit that's NOT blocked by Cruncyroll's filter.

Also, Moribito's not really mature in that sense. I mean, it's a mature series because it's not harem hijinks, tons of tits and ass shots, foul language and mindless gratuitous killing but, ironically, those are the types of titles that should really be behind a mature filter.

Yeah, I figured it was due to it being tagged wrong or something when it comes to their apps. People have had shows disappear on them and had to enable the mature content stuff to regain access which is bizarre.

If you really wanna know (big SAO spoilers),
after Asuna is rescued, Silica and Lisbeth make a pact to leave Kirito with her alone for one month before making a move on him.

Yeah.

Its fine.
The more you spoil, the less reason I have to continue it.

Yup.
Shes pretty awesome.
The figurine doesn't come out until next year though. she is a cutie for sure.
 
I was catching up with From the New World today, watching episodes 5 and 6. Aside from the change of director, were there any other big changes in the making of episode 5 compared to the earlier episodes? I don't think I've ever seen a shift in quality as abrupt as the one between episodes 4 and 5. The shift reached beyond the show's visuals; even the character portrayals seemed inconsistent with earlier episodes (the almost-sex scene was... something). Were there troubles at the production studio, or was the episode outsourced in some way? I'm not familiar with the production of this show, or anime in general really, but I was enjoying it up until now. Episode 6 saw the return of the show's previous quality, in terms of production value at least, and though I'm happy about that I'm still curious.

It had the Gurren Lagann episode 4 treatment.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Even though everyone complains about SAO it has the most impressions posted about it almost immediately after it airs.

Exactly, it's a little dumb to talk about how much you hate something, but then you keep talking about it.

I get why everyone does it, but it's still stupid in a way.

the greatest love story ever told

I wonder if I have to enable the mature content filter on CR for this too. Looks lewd.

I think we'll see another weekend show supplant SAO talk after it ends. I also think it'd have less exposure in the thread if it was made available during the week too.

There's better excuse than this, SAO is just a hot thing.. people watching and talking about it despite how garbage the show are.

As far as I'm aware, anime episodes are generally worked on teams. Instead of just the director being switched around, a lot of people are switched around.
 
oh we allowed to post pandering shit from SAO?

I hate to admit, but this is probably the sexiest/nerdiest thing i've ever seen.

Pondering whether I should discuss Ghost in the Shell here or make a LTTP thread. Though I probably need to get my thoughts about it in order before I do either.

Everyone should shift to the good word of the roundcat. It's on Saturday too and better too!

Yeah.

Despite seeing a similar scenario play out in Shuffle, I chuckled at the spoiler.

Oh look were talking SAO. I kinda ended up spending most of the day watching this.
Went from episode 5 to 16. I'll probably close out the last 2 before the nights over.
I mave has powered through it all just for the brocon.

Overall, I don't think it's that bad. I mean it could be worse right?

dat imouto.

Yeah. At least the combat in SAO seems fun.

Oh, The Witcher 2. Move on, then.

the combat in SAO doesnt make any sense whatsoever
its like some kind of gesture based kinect kind of system or something
its worse than the first witcher in terms of consistency

I thought it was kinda clear. It's like a physical input and the system takes over with the appropriate commands. How it's portrayed is another matter.

That's some true dedication. I'm maybe 4 episodes behind...maybe I'll try to get caught back up for the lulz and to have something to talk about here on a Saturday night.
