You know all that voiceover stuff you dismissed as bullshit? That was the whole point. It was all an experiment in control, and it was all there if you paid attention.
Also, the
dog is Clampverse.

I think you see the old man tap out Morse code when he is doing the puzzle. at the very least, they made it obvious to make you want to believe that.
One theory would be that
everyone was given a specific task to do that no one else could know about in order to spread confusion even among those who know what is going on
really, the idea is sillier than the virtual terrorism of SOA
Wow that really broke you. I almost want to watch the show now to see how amazing it is.
That stuff is actually a big part of
why I became suspicious of Fumito, because the voiceover is basically him talking in a lower voice (which I guess is the whole point). The whole thing is foreshadowed pretty early on, but even when I saw the signs, and said I saw the signs (I mentioned the MGS2 Selection for Societal Sanity project around Episode 7), it was still hard to really believe when it was actually unfolding.
I think those elements were all handled really well.

Take a breather, drink something, skim back over your adventure and prepare!
Red Hawk: Weapon of Death:
I don't think I've ever witnessed such a sharp decline in voice acting from the beginning of a work to its end. You can pinpoint the moment where some guy in the studio tells the VAs "we're running low on time, so the rest of this has to be done in one take!" Lots of monotone reading-off-the-page delivery and awkward cursing follows. Definitely worth watching if you like bad dubs.
Red Hawk's hair is a bird, your argument is invalid.

This show is a reminder of the unlikeliness that people will get to space again before the planet goes completely FUBAR'd.
This cartoon became a shounen animu when I wasn't watching. :O
Why settle on 2D and 3D? Let's become... 4D ants.

I understand, summer sucks too.

the same way people have to be forced to watch avatar?

But why do cats hate air conditioning?!
I don't see how that's the same at all.

Maybe because it's unnatural?
The same reason they hate vacuum cleaners

Think I know where this is going, but I'm intrigued by the mystery nonetheless.

implying that Avatar is not good? I forget who was being "forced" to watch that
Because cats actually like heat as long as it's not direct sunlight. Mine sack out in the warmest part of the house all summer and even though they look miserable, they're really just chillaxin'.

But they wouldn't be hot!

I feel like Jiro Dreams of Sushi would make a hilarious shounen cooking anime. Ten year quest to learn how to cook eggs... but you can make it last forever!
I know. I just think the end result will be something different. Anyway, I'm going to dislike the next episode most likely. I didn't enjoy much of the SAO side stories...

I would imagine being forced to watch anything would decrease the likihood of enjoying it.
I thought that was the whole point of those deals D:

To have everyone suffer?

So they're sauna kings!
Is that you Araragi?
Oh gosh.... Don't compare SAO to that junk.

Glad you liked it, the script is definitely more clever than it first appeared.
They were the best parts, yo.
I liked Aria in the SS and The Black Swordsman, but that's about it for SAO.

They are both otaku wish fulfillment stories, seem pretty similar to me.
Yeah?
Fixed.

SAO is actually animated though.
Refixed.
I kind of want to start a debate on whether or not the concept of wish fulfillment is inherently bad, but it's bedtime. I'll just address it the next time it comes up.

Wish fulfillment isn't inherently bad.

animeGaf's relationship with Bakemonogatar is kind of cute.

This animu has surpassed my expectations. I picked it up on the basis of the bodacious-sounding title, thinking it would be a Snakes on a Plane type of romp and ended up becoming enamoured of the setting, the message, the tone, everything. I can't help but gush in praise at every single episode; I can't remember the last time an animated serial work was this consistently and competently well-made.
p.s. new op > old op and old ed > new ed
holy fuuuuuuuuuuuck when did they get an actual animation budget for this?
You stupid cartoon, you aren't supposed to show the real-life hardships of balancing family life and professional work. I hate you.

It's not often you come across an authoritarian leader so fully aware of the possibility of his impending end. What's more impressive is the incredibly poignant and ominous way in which he spelt it out to his advisor. This just keeps on getting better and better with each and every episode. It's great!
The history infodump at the beginning certainly helped explain away my confusion of the whole Space and Imperial Years measurement thanks to the movie. It also was rather short and did a great deal of spelling out why things are the way they are. If only more shows would learn from this.

If that's the case (which I kinda doubt) then I bet it's the doctor giving out the instructions given how weird Furuya was acting after the remote check-up.
damn straight
Now you can watch the trailer for the movie and get hyped for something you won't be able to see for several months.

No. It's crap is what it is.

'Wish fulfilment stories' cover such a diverse body of stories and characters that it's perfectly possible for two such tales to be rather different.
Also, Bakemonogatari is actually good.
