And you also totally find Kokoro Connect amazing instead of just 'meh,' right? Right?So close to my taste except I don't think Jinrui is brilliant nor do I find Binbougami fun.I'm such a miser.

Sadly. I will probably be lightly amused by Dog Days, Jinrui's not bad I just don't think it's great and hopefully Natsuyuki turns out alright.
Depends by what metric I'm rating it on. Some of the bad shit is truly some kind of amazing just not in a good way.
it just seemed a bit lame after the reveal which was kind of funny

The show can't be too real or then it would be lame!

Does it end with an e?
More people need to watch this.
But the ending is the only good part about the show.
Disclaimer: I haven't even watched it.
I thought sword art might be good, but ep 2 passed the boundaries of stupidity
needed more nerd rage and less cliche
space bro's is still good, but that's not this season specifically
but it can be too fake, very easily
giving everyone different coloured hair to differentiate them (and a token black guy) is a sign of poor design
its almost like MMO tropes are the equivalent of their reality.

In real games is it really the person who deals the final blow, gets the special awesome item and everyone else gets, just congrats? (Ive never played a real MMO)
LOL no
it drops to a random person, or everyone gets designated loot
this is closer to last hitting in DotA, which is dumb

Nah, it was just a plot device in this.

Are you watching the uncensored version?
It's kinda more like you kill the boss, loot drops, and the guild leader assigns the loot by a point/bidding system.
Random pick up groups (PUGs) simply roll (a die) on it.
It really depends on the game, but I don't doubt it having been done before at all.
Usually in most games, there's a loot table with predetermined drops, and then a specific sum of those drop per boss. It's then (usually) up to the group to determine how to distribute them (of which there are many ways, such as DKP (NSFW Language), etc.). Most of these kills tend to be done by guilds, which for MMOs tend to be by raiding guilds that have players of a certain competency participate.
Now, i'm not entirely sure how SAO works because this is the first
boss and we didn't see any other loot other than what Kirito got,
let the game decide the rolls for the drops. I think that the death of Diabel was interesting, because if that's the only way loot works from bosses in SAO, he was essentially using the whole group to get items only he'd be able to attain, full well knowing that the last attacker gets the items(s) that drop off a boss.
Game sounds worse than Final Fantasy 14
SAO 2
Yeah, it makes total sense to alienate your single biggest chance of getting out of this dumb game alive. Combine that with the MC talking about the importance of partying up only to cast aside his only party member at the end and this show sure is off to a great start!!!!
oh well, at least there was a bit of sakuga in this ep

Scrubs don't belong with the elite players. They're only gonna bring down his awesomeness, and come to raids not prepared.
But it's fun now

Well, I have no idea how the chaos of the last episode was cleaned up so neatly, but at least some things are starting to make a little more sense.
Is there some
I don't trust Fumito's coffee. It's almost too good. Like Rick's Bread.
A lot of the fight choreography here was rather odd.
All this foreshadowing has to pay off eventually, right?

Maybe just Clamp sense.
Is there some
MGS2 S3 Project type shit going on here? That's what it's starting to sound like, though I can't imagine a reason that makes sense.

They are dealing with some very heavy issues for a show that's supposed to air early morning. I enjoy the fact that they don't over-dramatise
. A lesser animu would have made Nanba wallow in his sorrow for an entire arc until he discovers the power of love and determination or some shit like that.

Space Bros is, besides thoughtful, incredibly charming. The show has a lot of neat little touches that don't add much to the story but help make the characters more endearing, like Mutta's silly gestures when he thinks nobody's watching. Animu of the year so far to me.
Oh Mutta, you silly, silly manchild.
It makes more sense if you read the LN. Making the show chronological order is not helping it all that much.
That's the point. The dude in actuality is pretty much a dick in the LN.

Oh sweet. Then that was pretty good in there.
Riki-oh: The Wall of Hell
Dog Soldier left me in the mood for manime and boy did this deliver. It's a 48 minute 1989 adaptation of the manga which also spawned the infamous live action movie. The OVA follows the same prison story as the live action version but it's distinctly different. It's a little less crazy than the live action (which is still pretty damn crazy given the set bar) and lacks the comedic elements. It's a straightforward tale of revenge and people getting their shit wrecked. I'm going to assume it was appropriately shortened as only two of the prison wing bosses were present rather than jamming everyone in (I say this assuming the movie is a closer adaptation). As for highlights, the greenhouse fight between Riki and the south wing prison boss was pretty fucking cool.
Riki-Oh himself.
The manliest of manservice.
Even Riki-Oh isn't invicible. He's simply nigh invincible.
Beautiful.

Damn, check out this clip from the Bat Man of Shanghai short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7D_lPNu-b8 Some very slick animation, kind of looks like the work of that one Chinese studio that has been mentioned in here before.

The mysteries continue. I have a fairly good guess of what's going on, but a few parts of it might be wrong.
Mutta continues to be as awesome as ever,

This is the most manime anime I've watched since Usagi Drop.
That was claustrophobic, and the CGI bus didn't help. D:

The cat school clip is pretty fun.
clearly a cat
Interesting. The new Dragon Ball film is, in fact, completely within canon, noted quite clearly to take place during the time skip between the third-to-last and second-to-last chapters of the manga.

Not to mention they are responsible for such monstrosities as Eiken and Sky Girls.
