I think I'm gonna hang up SAO after episode 15 like most people seem to have suggested.

1-14 is a pretty interesting (if not the most imaginative) premise and manages to decently explore some interesting implications from it. I'm starting to think about where they could have gone in the aftermath though. I went through the show imagining the aftermath showing a bunch of survivors going through war veteran-like PTSD symptoms. Maybe show some wanting to return to the game because their lives had more purpose and they mattered more in SAO than in the real world.

No, stop having interesting ideas. To the Light Novel salt mines with you. Thatll beat that creativity out of you lol.

We need them to do the exact thing again, only with a different girl and a slightly different setting. Rinse and repeat.

Great idea.

It's a shame Reki Kawahara had quite different plans from episode 15 and onward.

Ok, back to the string of hate posts, lol.

I'll post some impressions before I catch up on this. I'm a bit underwhelmed this turned out to be pretty typical as far as light novels go, maybe a bit more serious than usual. It has some interesting ideas that go beyond the usual stuff but still the basic structure is awfully familiar. The "witty" main character, the mysterious heroine, the humor of the show and the constant real world references, the fact that the main character seems to ensemble a pack of underaged girls going by the OP... In any case, I don't think it's bad, actually I liked it quite a lot, but I hoped it would deviate a bit. I like the concept and the protagonist's struggles, most of the characters are great so far and the fights have been excellent.

I guess it was worth it just for Elsa though. She checked all the boxes on how to make a perfect antagonist. She's just soooo good.
And the best thing is she survived the fight with Reinhardt, so I will have the pleasure to see more of her.

Really excited about this. It's been too long since there was a new Digimon anime. Here's hoping there will be some good staff working on it and that it will manage to reach the level of some of the greats in the franchise.

RIP Cosmic. Your KlK thread introduced me to Gurren when I was but an anime duckling. Thanks for that again.

Anyway I know this question has been asked a lot but what are the good anime that should be seen this season?

So you're saying it's like Monogatari ...

While I don't hold Re: Zero to be some mold breaking enterprise, I found, as opposed to some other people who voiced a distinctly different sentiment, the second arc to be much superior. For me it has a more intriguing premise and a much more enjoyable and interesting cast of characters combined with some character relationships evolving from their initiatory phase and some character issues coming to the fore.

Are there really that many who prefer the 1st arc?
I really liked it as an introduction/setup type of thing, but I agree that the second one is pretty much superior in everything.

I wouldn't be opposed if he wants to try again with a bigger episode count or expanding the final episode unto its own series. Charlotte had some promise, but had way too much shit going on for a 13 episodes series, and it doesn't help they wasted 3 or so episodes on something that could have been a montage.

Well I didn't keep the tally but I've seen that sentiment voiced more often; though that was before the last episode.

Doesn't stop you from posting in Marvel threads. To think you'd betray Kaneki-sama for some capeshit ...

Kidding obviously, take care of your stuff. Good luck !

Final fights and twists were great, but I kind of feel like the show blew its load a bit early with the Sigma Orbis fights and OP2 being used as an insert song.

The stuff here, while still freaking awesome, just never gave me that sense of HYPE as the other stuff did.

Anyway, this was the conclusion to the main story, so I'll probably articulate more on my thoughts on it later after I'm done with episode 42 and the movie.

It's probably just a visual novel thing like with Angel Beats. Hell, Charlotte was already structured like a visual novel even in animated format.

Maeda is too used to working on VN that he can't reduce his ideas down to a 13 episode format. Angel Beats showed us this, then Charlotte somehow made it worse.

Maeda, just focus on the Angel Beats VN. You released only 1 of a several part VN series. Get back to work.

First half of this episode was a recap and the rest was basically an intro to Danball Senki side of the movie.

Just as advertised in the beginning of this episode.

Ushio and Tora has been so boring this season. The only enjoyable part of the show beforehand were the fun character interactions but now it's all "boohoo Hakomen no Mono is too strong blah blah blah" and none of it is enjoyable.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've really not been into it at all.
