Yeah I mean this. Any reason the creator could possibly have for Kirito being the only person who can go on these missions and he happens to always meet cute girls his age who happen to fall in love with him and no one else are bullshit excused for building a harem. And instead of making it where he's so dense he doesn't realize all these girls want him he simply has a girlfriend that is off screen that kirito-kun swears he loves very much.
Honestly I'd almost rather he cheated on her just so the show would have the balls to give him a personality besides video game badass who does it for his country.
This is of course all speculation on info I've read on the wiki and word of mouth. Well see how effect asuna has on the new season once it starts. But it wouldn't surprise me if she simply appeared on school sections or at the beginning and ending of an arc to remind us that yes she does exist and she's the shackle holding kirito back from having unlimited waifus who find his 1337 reaction time haxxxx so hot yo.
You need to get TheBatman to post in here

Honestly, I don't think the GGO arc is going to do all that much to change your opinion, since I don't think Asuna plays much of a role in it and Kirito does spend most of his time with the new girl (though to be honest I don't recall feeling like their relationship had that much of a romantic element to it - certainly not as much as Sugu in ALO).
The later arcs such as Mother's Rosario and Alicisation (which I doubt will be covered in the upcoming series, though I guess there's a chance for the former) seem more up your street, since Asuna gets plenty to do in them and they don't really do much in the way of harem-building for Kirito. In the former, it's Asuna that the new girl builds a relationship with, and in the latter, Kirito's main new companion isn't even female!

If they made an anime about eating hotdogs, she could voice the character based on him!
She's 60 years old!

Kinda weird though how explicit it is in its 'you get seen it's done' and then how the episode continues and they even become cures that Blue explicitly said not to do.
Good episode. Dammit Kirby.

Glad that you liked it I have to agree on what i bolded above , Sao is not great , but damn if the hate it get here is unneceessary for what it is.
I'm glad you liked the action because aside from 3 fights in 24 eps i really feel like the anime didn't properly adapt several good moments properly.
Alfheim is necessary , but you don't know about it because the concept of the book is not "people trapped in a game" but virtual online mmos , the "trapped in a game" is only the first part. This is entirely a case of misleading advertising.
As for alheim , because they didn't have enough time with the second part , they just rushed to adapt the main story and cut some details on alheim itself.. again the fault of the adaptation IMO.
Feel the same, really
In both cases , the girl #1is set in stone quite clearly despite what others want to believe.
Just like there is no denying that senjogahara is #1 in Araragi mind. there is no denying that asuna is #1 in kirito eyes.
In my eyes both show aren't harem series but shows about potential waifus.
Sao production comitee did some things right , but did many things wrong.
As long as you're aware that your favorite anime is SHIT , everything is fine.
I'm really glad that freedom of taste exist.
He does occasionally. Hes definitely more active in K-onGaf
Well my favorite anime is Haibane Renmei and Kinos Journey so thats not exactly true but I guess my #3 anime on down is Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
apologies for the catgirl spam on twitter. I had to wait till I got home to favorite/retweet a million nekos.

Redeemed, thanks.
But thanks what makes many female anime characters adorable! Like Juvia from Fairy Tail!
I think the reason SAO gets so much hate is because it was a different, interesting premise that was doing a really good job at first. People liked the idea of a harsh survival story of kids trapped in an online MMO. The first few episodes seemed to show that (although I never watched the show in its entirety myself).
When the show hit its second half and started to become the very thing we tried to avoid watching in anime, that's where the hate started. You people felt betrayed. Deceived. And that's why you hate it so much. And I cannot blame any of you for it.
Lord knows how Madoka Magica would have went if after the twelfth episode it was revealed that
Homura had a brother and the show devoted another twelve episodes to their relationship!
It's one thing to see something that's bad from the get-go. It's another thing to see something good, possibly great, turn into absolute trash later.

.Hack did it first and did it better.
Oh god wtf am I doing? I swore to myself I wouldn't get involved with this shit again.
Sorry for being slow on following. Hadn't realise I hadn't done so yet.
Because then it would be true to the world of music, which is a world of fighting.Why would it need to be a competition?

No, but he just re-tweeted a lot of admin tweets. If you're already following admin you won't see the re-tweets though.
Doesn't seem like a fair battle.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket 2
Man, elementary school kids in war anime just suck.
I don't think that Al is portrayed that poorly or unrealistically. He's clearly preoccupied with his schoolkid problems, and he's kind of fascinated by the spectacle of war, as many kids are. Trying to play out those normal problems in parallel with the escalating violence of war coming at home is a natural source of conflict, and it could be really interesting. Their hearts are in the right place.
I still find it odd, though, how much the kids seem totally unaffected by the attack that just happened. Even though the war between Federation and Zeon is something they're keenly aware of, and they can't be that removed from understanding the consequences, the kids seem to act like they don't know that wars are dangerous and claim lives, even when the injured and dying are right in front of them. That level of naivete is hard to tolerate, and I don't think it was necessary to hit their ultimate point.
It's not a perfect parallel, but I was in seventh grade in New York City when the World Trade Center was hit, and even though it was miles away from my school, it was impossible not to feel the emotional impact of it. Even when classes were canceled for the day, everything was very surreal and subdued. I can't imagine any class of kids reacting like in the image below given the attack they just experienced. They're not so young that they can't process the consequences of what it means.
Putting that aside, I like the new character they introduced, the Zeon soldier Bernard Wiseman. He's the stereotypical fresh-faced young recruit, and even though he's not a complete rookie, you can see that there's a lot he doesn't really know about war. It seems like he's going to undergo his own kind of maturation over the course of the series.
There have been a lot of convenient coincidences so far to keep Al involved in the story, but I'm hoping the payoff is worth it.

The sequence where Al gets on the truck is played in a really cartoony way, which feels weird given what the audience knows about what's to come.

Class is canceled? This is the best day ever!

Was this a common thing in Japanese homes at some point? I've never seen anything like it, but it would kind of fit in a society where people used to sleep on futons laid out every night and put away every morning.

Yeah, that confused me. He clearly told them DON'T transform, or that they can't, because the entire kingdom is their territory, so Cures are weakened there, yet they do it anyway.

Monogatari series question.
I want to get into this series soon, had a quick question. I see some people just saying to watch them in the order that aired. So is it best to watch it in this order?
Bakemono - Nisemono - Nekomono
Where does Monogatari Series: Second Season fall? Found it on my animelist, seems like the most recent airing of the series.

Thanks for the help.
Majin Bone Episode 7:
This series still remains better then it has any right to be, I just really wish they could step it up in the action department and then it could hit true transcendence. Anyway, the plot seems to be finally kicking in as we get a vast change in scenery and a few truthbombs dropped but nothing that could not be figured out already. Anyway, the next plan of the enemy seems a bit flawed
Also, calling it now Saho is probably going to be the eventual sixth ranger, at least that is the hope from this corner.

as sending two goons against the Bone Research Facility is kind of lacking in the numbers game.

Feel a bit bad for Makoto since she wants to be a girly-girl, but have been forced to act like a boy for most of her life.

Well finished Arakawa Under the Bridge.
Funny show with so much stuff left unanswered. How much of the manga did the show cover? I googled the manga and read a random late chapter and it was the twins fighting about their muscles and stuff which was in the anime.
Need a new SHAFT! I'm gonna guess everybody is going to say Hidamari Sketch? The BD for season one is 41 at amazon. Good price?

I did, when there was a bunch of Madoka Rebellion discussion going on when the movie just came out in Japan, and my mind was still a broken, shambled mess of what I saw of the spoilers that I just had to join in.
I only posted like, twice in that forum though, so I don't really care about this.
Ah, I registered for that site long before I understood to diversify my passwords. I hope none of my other passwords overlapped with my AS password.
I should quit being lazy and use KeePass more. :<
