Sword Art Online - 8

I'm not going to lie, it is kind of interesting to me on how the players have integrated into the system and have adapted to the world before them and have a plan of some sort. The lesser-experienced players have done things like open-up shops and businesses inside the game while they let the more experienced players handle the problem of finishing the game and setting everybody free. They've taken the world before them and sort of reshaped it a bit to allow themselves to fit in until they can get out.

The show does that part all right, I guess. But again, I could probably have taken this a lot more seriously if the main protagonist was a noob who had never played a game like this before (LIKE KLEIN!!!!). Make the focus on someone struggling to adapt to that kind of life. It's hard to get a real grip on the whole "survival" aspect of this show when our main character is getting it all good with the ladies and is seen tanking hits from other players and is dubbed a beater (bahahaha). It just doesn't work.

So now there's less than 500 players left. You can just barely call this an MMO any more.

no there are only 500 players that are actively working in the front lines to beat the game ( at the point you are at ) There is still more than half of the players from the initial count of 10,000 that were "trapped"

Himeeeeee <3

I'm sorry, I can no longer read the word "Hime" without thinking of this song. It makes my shonen haato(?) burn =p

AnoHana 08

Since somebody was mentioning Working!! earlier... I also recognize Sekirei, but not sure about the other 2.

And it's the first really sad episode. They throw 4-5 sad things into 1 episode though. The last part of the episode got me the most. Might have been because of the song of course...

Well, the OP kind of spoiled that.

Yeah, the shows biggest mistake was getting rid of this guy so early on.

So I've watched Darker than Black...it was freaking awesome. It kept me entertained and excited till the end of the both seasons.The plot is just amazing as well as the atmosphere and the fightings. The characters are very interesting and they all have interesting and unique skills as well payment for their skills. It's just a masterpiece, i couldn't guess what was going to happen next that was the best part of watching it.

I really have a hard time finding something good to watch, just nothing that would keep me interested and entertained, if you could recommend something to watch please the criterias are:
1) Good storyline
2) Not a lot of moe
3) Not ecchi or echhi or however you write it.
4) Not ongoing
Thanks.

You might like Noir although its a pretty old series.
If you really like story driven stuff, Full Metal Panic is pretty awesome!

Oh yes, the Monogatari Series has many great openings. Need to rewatch them at least.

A lot less Uguu~ this time. Yuuichi is kind of a jerk. So far hes broken his plans with his cousin once every episode so far. To make amends, he goes to his school at night to pick up her textbook that he borrowed but forgot. Here he is confronted by sword girl in the middle of the hallway at night. Will this turn deadly?

I was wondering all this time how they would adapt this part, given how word heavy it is but they did a really good job.

Welfin and Pouf's breakdowns were great, as was the voice acting.

One episode left for this arc.

[nintendoman58]

It's usually much more exciting when there's a really good and insanely popular show going on or when someone we all know is watching something full that should induce wondrous freak-out posts.

Right now, only the latter is barely happening. Felix is treating himself to a double dose of Yami and School Days (as insane of a decision as it is).

It's just been a slow season, is all. Once summer comes around and those Tokyo shows start airing, I'm sure things will liven up quite nicely.

I think they're actually talking about Love Live there though.

Is it Summer season yet? no? zzz. two more weeks two more weeks.
