Wat. How could you??
I think I did but I think my brain is trying to make me forget the memories of them. All I can remember is them being very very dumb, which could make for a good weekend screening with plenty of booze.

Not really related because it was because I lost my save during grinding for it and watched a perfectly captured video of it afterwards, but I never beat

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's my point - haters derive enjoyment from hating. That's kind of my point about animeGAF at times - they're either secretly enjoying it unironically, or they're just being haters. Either isn't something I like.
Understandable.
I like the hate culture to a certain extend, it just feels so good if you dislike something with others, but sometimes it just feels artificial or too harsh, when people leaving the enjoyment and are really forcing themselves to watch or read something for the sake of having it done or something.
This sounds super interesting! Will read that
edit:
Did read that. You already said everything. Very powerful, even with knowing the twist.
Thanks for talking about it.
I admit I didn't read this much into Mama Mama but your interpretation makes sense and adds an even darker tone to the story than I thought.
I haven't started reading Kyou Kara Yonshimai yet but based on your impressions it sounds promising.
Oh man, I feel bad for you. That was possibly one of the most memorable and powerful boss fights of all-time. The way it adresses you is simply perfect.

It was interesting as an adult trying to read up on wtf was up with that fight an all the interpretations of it. In other words, I tried to grasp the true form of Gigyas attack.

This decided to ramp up the gore quite heavily in the finale. Wonder how the anime will deal with this part, but since it's Madhouse I doubt there's need to worry.
The military in fiction is quite often putting messed up plans into effect but this one goes a bit beyond the call of duty.

Only a man as glorious as Lord Griffith would be able to find a way to create a sanctuary where both the most blood thirsty demons and weakest and frailest of humans could all prosper. You'd have to be some kind of monster to want to destroy such a utopia in such a dangerous world.

Been wondering... when we get Wednesday chapters are those the ones that 'release' the next Monday in Japan? And someone was leaking them to the internet early? Have a feeling that's the case, but I can't recall. I do remember going on a trip to Japan and buying the 'new' jump issue and finding chapters I'd already read...
How is Viz's Weekly Jump service? If you sub can you read everything digitally or is it just the past few weeks worth? And it looks like it's same day as Japan release now, pretty solid.
I don't hate it, but it has long since jumped the shark.
Yes.

Which make it all the more funny in certain ways .
That is exactly the case. IIRC, a week of JUMP is produced and shipped way in advance of its release date because some parts of Japan are a real hassle to deliver to.
It's pretty good. Viz make some localisation decisions that I don't like, but I'm more tolerant of stupidness like "Zolo" than unforgivable garbage like "nakama".
Gutts finishes his training heads to kill Griffith but sees how amazing his world is forgives him and lives in peace.
The end
I was summoned.
Makes sense that they're working to axe the leaks then. Can never really stop a purchaser from scanning them on Monday though.
Yea I can probably deal with that stuff. Looks like they're adding HxH back to the lineup too, cool. I remember that wasn't part of Viz's service when it started up again recently.

I going with what Wiseblade said lol .
Truth is i think i post more today than i have in months other than the 1 or 2 post for chapter days.
If raws aren't getting scanned until Monday, then WSJ and JUMP International become far easier sells.
I don't know, man.

I sincerely doubt they can avoid scans coming out early without delaying the print version. Its just an inevitability of the fact that hundreds of people need access to the original printings before they go on sale.
Well, yeah. But that's their aim.

They have been trying for so long and we all know it not going to work.
Would just be better to let people from all over the world pay to read it or try to move the base to online.

Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am loathe to write this kind of piece. However, in the absence of divine intervention (Dresden-sama?) I feel obliged to speak up.
There is no collective voice. AnimeGAF is merely a thread for discussing seasonal anime and many of us do not see eye-to-eye. There are a handful of very regular posters as well as some less frequent attendants. It's true that there are certain posters whose voices are heard more clearly but most of them e.g. cajunator hardly hate everything. Hell, he doesn't seem to dislike anything.
The only thing that separates the participants in the the main anime thread from the people who post in say, Toonami or the individual show threads is personal preference. This leads to each thread having it's own voice but it's still no more than an allied collection of individuals with divergent tastes.
There are a lot of ideas here that are worth examining,
- Yes, people certainly watch shows and complain about them. This is because a lot of anime shows are, unfortunately, dreadful. However, as there's so few shows airing every season sometimes people stick with things to see if they improve.
- This, however, is not the case for everyone, or even the majority of posters. There's plenty of people posting about shows they're enjoying.
- I don't know what's more interesting, your idea that people can't possibly watch things they dislike on a regular basis or that it's somehow unique to the main anime thread. LOST is an interesting example because it's far longer than any anime, so the comparison doesn't quite work. A single season of SAO was far shorter than a single season of LOST.
I certainly remember the ire of people who'd post in those LOST threads week after week, year after year, complaining about the show. More recently, people regularly hatewatched The Newsroom both, the public on forums and professional critics. The Walking Dead is a TV series that has attracted hatewatching for sometime. The list goes on and on. Hatewatching is something that occurs in all forms of media for all kinds of viewers across a broad spectrum of genres. Why, exactly, people engage in this activity is a very interesting question but it's quite clear that it exists. A cursory google or twitter search generates countless examples of the phenomena.
Now, with Sword Art Online specifically plenty of people were watching that because it was the hot show of the period. It had a hook, as they say, to get people onboard and many people kept up with the show in the hope that it might improve. Anyway, the really dedicated hatewatch didn't even come from the main anime thread or AnimeGAF (besides firehawk12, of course), but instead from the main SAO thread in the Off Topic forum.
Why do people still watch the show? They want to know if it'll get worse, whether it can top the ludicrousness of the first season. Or, perhaps, they actually like it. There are numerous potential reasons, but 'secretly liking it' probably isn't the blanket explanation for everyone.
Another good TV example.
I see we're back at the AnimeGAF hive mid again here. While there may be individual people enjoying certain shows unironically but posting negatively that's just a supposition that I can't prove.
I'm also not sure what the definition of a "hater" is, or who these posters are that only spew hate because I just don't see that content in the thread.
If by hate you mean that people in the thread express critical views about shows that they watch then I won't apologize for that, people should be free to express their dissatisfaction and disappointment. If there are lots of bad shows in a season then they're will be a lot of negative impressions but so be it.

Wait, Mashiba was in love with the girl bully? I thought they both were just the most prominent of his bullies.
To be fair, the manga always seemed to have an undercurrent of psychopathy ever since we saw Yuzuru taking pictures of dead things.
Except it turned out that she wasn't doing it for pleasure.
Go back to watching shoestring budget adaptations of shonen manga and trashy light novels, Animu Dweeb!

Hey Australia had faux?incest so it's just like manga and anime!
They have their own threads anyways
I wish OT would say that. I am getting constantly yelled at in threads about politic and air planes.
So beware when I start to re-read Koizumi.
