Sailor Moon 13-14

Jadeite's end was as much as the first cour of the show could handle, but what I took from the episode most of all was that "girl power" was just starting to come into being as a thing. Usagi, Ami and Rei's declaration here would eventually pave the way for Prime Minister Mana, so from a historical context, that's worth noting. As for the tennis episode, Beryl suddenly has more than five frames of animation, Nephrite and Zoicite are entertaining to watch (I CAN FEEL THE COSMOS), and Rui was decent enough for a one-shot character. Umino being a conspiracy theorist is a surprise to one, and I finally understand which episode that "Usagi is a tennis ball" .gif came from. The second cour's animation looks much more dynamic and interesting than the growing pains of the first cour.

Slowly, the show starts to come into its own.

Though really, Minako and dub!Usagi should've been the ones to fight a tennis monster. It makes sense when you think about it.

see certain posters watch whatever harem flavour of the month but refuse to watch classics like logh or utena

I doubt anybody is doing that.
They don't frequent this thread.

I really need to figure out this piece of data.

Number of people who regularly post in this thread and don't loathe SAO is...?

SAO isn't actually the worst thing since since child porn and there is worse stuff out there but I hope you realize that people have legit reasons for their general ire right? However, to hate something you actually have to know something exists and whether they like it or not, people know SAO exists :p
 
SAO talk.

Why would you even think about giving artificial intelligence to military rockets?!? That's like putting GLaDOS in charge of an orphanage! It's just a bad idea!!! At least the guy has enough common sense to reject that plan!

Even it was designed entirely for the game, why would you not go: "EUREKA! I'VE CREATED SELF-AWARE ARTIFICAL LIFE! IMMA GO PATENT THIS!" instead of just keeping it in the game and throwing all that chance for becoming even more successful than you already were away?!?

SAO TALK :
Well that won't stop those morons to try again.to make something similar.
What they wanted is something intelligent enough to distinguish friend from foe and wouldn't mind the self sacrifice of exploding.
Trouble is that when you're self aware as an existance you kinda mind dying so the project was stopped and they didn't pursue kayaba when he turned this into something else.
Also he did patent the thing.. At the point of the story where you are it's a closed secret.It's just that the main designer on Sword art online mecanics, decided to go crazy for his own purposes instead of sitting on a potential gold mine. Because yeah , SAO , when it was annonced , before the incident was a total sucess, so much that it was "THE GOLDEN chicken" of the year if you understand what i mean it was printing money..

I wasn't trying to imply that anyone's individual dislike of the series was unwarranted... just that there seemed to be a lot of it.

Speaking of which, anyone here going to AX? I'm going this year, but I'm not the type of person goes to these every year.
Been going every other year or so because friends tend to be in town.

I'm going to it. Have no idea what the expect and I'm only going for a day. Will be doing the most American thing on July 4th, attending a convention for Chinese Cartoons.


Going with my cousins and will be attending the KLK thingy.

Truly when pigs fly would be all seasons of Yu Gi Oh getting redubbed and uncut releases not just the original series but GX, 5DS, Zexal, and probably Arc V when it's dub comes next year.

I cannot imagine a redubbed Yugioh first series. Those voices are just too stuck in my head.

Rewatching Gundam Wing and really enjoying it.

When I first watched this I was a kid and obviously unaware of shipping but man, Trowa and Quatra must be a popular one.

Well, since they became super idols, is there anything left for them to do? lol

I forget its full name but there's a show airing in the summer season that instead of school idols is about "local idols",haha. It's short handed to "Locodol" and they represent an area of Hiroshima I think it was. It's based off of a 4-koma so maybe it will just be more of a comedy or "cute girls doing cute things" type of thing.

popularity of series in general means more critics as well
When I think about it, it's probably just a distorted perception from mostly frequenting a given subset of communities.
And indeed the most boring!
Boring is fine.

Futsuu no Joshikousei ga (Locodol) Yattemita. Means something along the lines of "Ordinary High Schools Tried to Become Local Idols".

As the show that will take up the reins of idoldom from Love Live, I'll gladly support it. It can have all the fun of idols with the small town charm of something like SoreMachi.

About to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars. Before I watch, was the second set of OVAs (the side stories) any good?

Put me down as one! Hell, I even enjoyed it.

Second half is dumb, but when I look at other anime that I've watched I think, "Yeah, this is at the same level as a lot of anime I've enjoyed, if not better". Being pretty and expensive helps too.
