Shoveling exposition down your throat in an attempt to cover every detail of the source material isn't how you write a good adaptation. I've said this before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but I really like that SAO doesn't waste time on these details that the viewer can either work out for themselves or read the novels for.

I hope somebody does a collection of Rikka's "AWU" moments because that's my favorite part. I would smack her in the head with a newspaper just to hear that over and over.
Should I start up the whole, adaptations should stand alone argument again?

Go for it. It doesn't conflict with what I'm saying.

But these aren't little details, little detail is what if you cut your audience wouldn't know if they were there at all, not things that would make you question the characters' actions and motivations in key parts of a story.
They should totally make a pamphlet and make you print it out and read while you watch right? that's not how adaptations work.

They didn't bother with SAO, so why would they explain this game? lol
Sure! Although it's totally cool, since they'reSo FairyOniichanFuckerOnline?

Well, at least Tanabe is like a Space Otaku who romanticizes being an Astronaut and going out and doing missions.
Akane is surrounded by criminals and wants to see the best in people despite the fact that she lives in a society where everyone's emotions are basically out on display for everyone to see. I don't think it's possible to be that naive in a universe like that, unless you are insane yourself!
At least it gets better after the whole Moon thing. lol

Sorry but there are things you should reach by thinking a little given all the stuff/info they provided ...
It's easy to deduce for example that the nervegear presents no risk for ALO because of all the clues provided to the viewer .. i repeat : they provided plenty of cues already..Maybe it's easier for me to spot them since i've read the books first ..but there are present.
Same thing.. you think they will forget plot and sub plots or that they are lazy ?

I never expected to see someone watch it so soon after sonicmj1 and I. It's nice to see you enjoying it Grzi! I remember having the same desire for the direction that you note here (wider overarching plot), but Gunslinger Girl continues and wraps up well with what it offers. One could argue that it executes this better than a simply larger plot would've managed in the same space of time.
:lolNatsume
Ultima belongs to me and me only...
back off
There's enough bonds for everyone!
That's about as deep as it can get!
If people are having to reference or look to the LN to answer questions, and there haven't been a select few, then obviously something went wrong.

Put everyone on your ignore list.
Dekomori got a lot better in the last two episodes.
She's actually a fun character. Every bit as silly as Rikka.
Damn that show is really really fun.
I can see it selling very well too.
I really should get around to watching the last two episodes of Season 1. Maybe some point today.
I tried that. Wasn't very effective.
I don't know, what clue? if anything it did the opposite.
1) The bad guy is in charge of the system and they made sure Kirito knows that fact.
2) The game uses SAO code, so much that even his item and stats transfered
3) Kirito goes and searches for log out button asap, he doesn't seem sure about this at all before jumping in
-> who knows if the bad guy finds out he can't just add kill codes and remove log out for him, it's same code after all and he's in control and he has every reason to do so if he tries to interfere with his plans.
now tell me about these cues. dunno, the helmet looks old and rusty? Aigil tells him it works with it, so it's ok?

In the first arc, most of the supposed "things that make you question the characters' actions and motivations" were indeed details that didn't need to be said, but as I haven't started the new one yet, I'll shut up.
Of course the novel is going to have more details and be able to answer questions that the adaptation doesn't. That doesn't mean that these questions need to be answered to enjoy and understand the story.
That's true in that Tanabe is a romanticist. I tend to hand-wave Akane's personality as being that of living in an ivory tower and quickly realizing what the world is. The thing is that Tanabe is just so extreme at times that it irritates the hell out of me. I mean the whole
threatening to throw the coffin into the atmosphere was just so ridiculous that I wanted to strangle her.
Robotics; Notes - 03
Finally a good episode the entirety of which was dedicated to the robot tournament, and it worked pretty well. I'm starting to get used to the genki chick, although I hope she'll tone in down a bit in the future, and we finally got a glimpse of some serious shit going on in the background of the story, so we might actually get a worthy successor to Steins; Gate and not another Chaos; Head.

I will say that it pays of entirely. Which is why I'm assuming the same thing will happen to Akane. But she still seems insanely naive about it all anyway - from why she picked her job to her expectations of the people she works with.
Yes!

Havent seen the episode yet but I think the anime is already more better than Steins;Gate, at least in characters, plot, setting, and atmosphere.
The positive impressions in this thread were the reason I started watching, so I'm thankful to you guys because this show didn't have a very high priority on my backlog. But I'm glad I decided to give it a shot, great show so far.
Watch Psycho Pass episode 3 if you haven't already.
I have a feeling you'll enjoy the first minute of the episode immensely.

well,
Okabe > Akiho
time travel > yeah, what? high school club drama and a robot Belldandy
Akihabara > a school in the middle of nowhere
just the "human is dead"-scene in EP3
R;N has maybe the cute boys factor...
I think the Psycho-Pass is more a measure of where someone fits on the "lawful/chaotic" axis than on the "good/evil" axis, to put it in D&D terms.
To be fair, it took a long while for S;G to really kick into high gear. R;N is also a slow burner but I think it's paced better.

Sure, but when everyone is on the chaotic side of the spectrum, you stick out like a sore thumb if you are on the lawful side.
It'd probably help if there was another optimist working with them, but as it stands, she just looks like a petulant child at times.
Haha yes. It's great.
Every time she does that sound, the realtime watching thread fills with people quoting her.
I didn't enjoy 4 as much as 2 and 3, but I'm still really positive on this show.
I liked the Steins;Gate characters immediately from episode 1, whereas I'm not sold on Robotics;Notes at all so far. Just watching on faith that it will get interesting. Haven't seen ep 3 yet.
Magi - 3
What I suspected of Alibaba in previous episode was unsurprisingly true, wonder how he ended up like this then. I like Alibaba enough to watch this for now but don't care about anyone else. Everything overall feels really lifeless and meh so far. Next episode should give a better picture of everything I hope.

Surely it's enough to halt the wedding at an absolute bare minimum.
If I have to read a manga/LN just to fill in the gaps the anime has kindly left out, then it's a shit adaptation (see Magi)
JMAN isn't here to retort such things.

K-ON is awesomely awesome.
It's anime. Adults are useless.
Sybil system judge her as someone that have potential make decision that no one can and have the best compatibility for the job, and with Gen as writer I doubt that in means of naive seigi no mikata BS. I think even the OP implying Akane not gonna be same person in entire series.
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Right, which is also why I compare her with Tabane.
Remember the opening scene of the first episode? The Dominator didn't work at the criminal, which may indicate that there are people who can kill without even triggering a high psycho pass, or maybe it was just due to the location. Either way, it's an interesting point.
Spoilers from episode 4?
I think it's the helmet.

3) Kirito looking for the log out button is not a clue .. it's just him not wanting to experience another painfull memory ..the fact that there are people playing the game ( another game ) without problem is a clue enough that this scene shouldn't matter.
Agil says that the Sao helmet is compatible ...meaning that this ( using the helmet ) was already done by someone else without trouble. Agil give him the game and even told him that the old helmet works ..if there was a risk involved , he would have said something ..it's safe to conclude that he didn't because there are none. kirito even wonder about the hardware required in that same scene.
Also the ALO game is PK based ..meaning death is part of the experience..kirito even call that easy .
2) yui says that the game use "old sao code" , another reason why the hardware is compatible. Said in the same scene that kirito was an previous Sao beta tester ( as fact that is know since episode 1 ). Up to the final beta , there wasn't any killswitch present in the Sao code, the numerous clues provided so far ( up to ep 16 ) tell us that people could log out when they wanted and could die as much as they could. Since ALO is based on that/those builds , thinking that a danger like ( similar to ) SAO is unlikly.
Also why put this code in the game ( assuming my guess is wrong ) if the new helmet can't kill even if they wanted to. If there is a threat, if would be something else and by this point it would work regardless of the hardware used.
1) Now here is a logical reason.. The bad guy knows about kirito ...but the bad guy is also confident that kirito can't do a thing , otherwise he wouldn't have dropped the act the second they were alone.
But unfortunatly this has nothing on the post i've quoted saying that the nervegear is now harmless..
based on 2) & 3) i conclude that using the original nervegear in Alo poses no problem or at least no problem that would be also present with another helmet.
Also the "adding kill code in the game argument" is dubious at least . First it's highly unlikely because that's not how games works ..second it would make a bad publicity on a game that provided with a full security experience ( no kill codes in sight ) it's too much of a risk when you can do pretty much anything else..
Psycho-Pass - 03
Not bad, the case itself was a bit boring and predictable, but the incredible amount of badassery demonstrated by Shinya at the end was enough for me to give this episode a passing grade. I also felt this episode shared quite a few similarities with GitS: SAC.
Also, the manservice at the beginning gave off strong '90s action flick vibes (and was soTL) but in the best way possible, more shows need that type of stuff.

And the suit too considering the dominator can still read as long it's reticule is pointing any part of your body.

Why wouldn't the system be able to detect shes a sociopath?
