SOA sounds pretty cool
And then there's this, of course. I loved firehawk's "reviews".
I'm not going to AnimeGAF though, so I might vent a little in here when I do start watching.

Naruto
Ugghhhh ... the shipping pot has been stirred I guess. Don't think it hurts Naru-Hina at all but it's enough to make me happy I don't go to the Naruto Fan-forums.
However, I DO find it interesting how consistent Kish is with Hinata's COMPLETE apathy towards Sas. O_O
I mean, she didn't say anything or w/e when the rookies had that meeting about "what to do about eye-ball-boy" and in this chap she was like " Hmmm ... !" and didn't even come over to join in the reunion or shocking face events.
But w/e, it's clear that they're gonna "try to fix the mistakes of the past". So Naruto and Eye-Ball will rule the Leaf together.

That makes me laugh every time. I sort of wish he would do a longer review...

There's nothing wrong with SAO, it just suffers from a major tone shift that kinda takes all of the meaning out of it. :/
Or you could just watch Uchuu Kyoudai!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
My wife liked SAO, she just thought the second arc was not nearly as good as the first.
It embodies the worst parts of modern anime and gets hailed as a work of art.

You're in too deep if SAO bothers you on that level though.

Is it sad I want to watch SAO just to see if the whole incest thing is hyperbole or truth?
Oh, I will.
Well, you have to taste shit before you can properly appreciate pizza. Or something.
Everything about it looks wholly unappealing to me. But that's the fun, right!
HEY, are you calling me sad?

Well there were lots of delicious tears in the second part!

Not really story spoilers, but still:
Suguha is Kazuo's cousin, but they're told that they are brother-sister, although Suguha learns early on that they aren't. They aren't apparently all that close, however.
I can deal with it being bad and icky, it's the people calling it a masterpiece that get me riled up. They actively ignore or even enjoy the parts that turn my stomach.
Sword Art Online
Those were my favourite parts of the entire show.
Oh, I know of that. I like the kids outfit. The anime itself is ... meh.
It kinda made me want to watch one of the .hacks though

Deep character interactions. Kind of reminds me of all those other stories that employ vivid imagery. The art's kind of generic though.
Bleach 538
Alright chapter. Kubo's speeding this along and we find out what the captains are doing. Hopefully, Komamura's backstory will be explained in more detail.
Naruto 631

I know it's bad but it can't be that bad.
That bad and worse.

Is SAO that good? I hear a lot of people talking about it, so does it have a cult following or something?
Not really.
It seems that it's considered as the best thing ever by people who don't much anime though,

The Asuna scene at the end of Aincrad was the only part I remember being over the line.
There are just certain things you have to watch to have enough culture-knowledge to know what people are talking about and SAO rapidly rose to that level.
And now I'm curious.

I do not really mind .hack, i just never got what the eff was going on.
Like the first few were just super existential, and the first one in particular had freudian levels of I wanna screw my relative.
the later ones less so , one in particular that came on cartoon network at an undgodly hour i liked because it was just the game. No existential my life outside and in the game stuff. Just the game.
And the one with all the girls seems more persona-ey actually.

First half Asuna = Incomparable badass
Second half Asuna = Perpetually stuck in a Rape Cage.

Next random thing: Why are most current shounen protagonists idiots?
I want a shounen protagonist like my mane bro, Yusuke.
Ichigo comes the closest, but he's not quite there yet.

Whoa what? Maybe I am glad I stopped watching where I did
Fixed
I guess you mean battle shonen, and Toriko at least appears to be someone smart.
Dammit.
Reading this just reminded me how awesome Kuzumi from Mx0 was.
We need more protagonists like him.
