So this is something the author put online as a joke or something? I don't really follow the SAO novels or their author, so I've never even heard of this until now.

The first SAO novel (which is where that passage comes from) was put up online back in 2002 or so. It included a chapter devoted to
that sex scene
, which was then removed when it was published a few years later.

Its started as web-novel, complete with that ero chapter. Got picked up by company, and of course that chapter gone when its got published.

The fact that you can say that with a straight face while liking Chiaki Omigawa is baffling.

Chiaki doesn't pull the crappy overused tsundere role all the time EVERY TIME.
Its not Rie's voice I don't like. I like high pitched voices like that, its how she is used in anime.

First story was great. The "Lame T-Shirt Collection" is one of the funnier chapters and they did a good job with it.

Second half of the episode was meh.

Well, it looks like Team Tea is victorious! If the trump cards want to say something more and be a little more decisive now, this is your moment.

Anyway, thanks to everyone that participated on this essential poll for the community... and pals, keep enjoying your respective drinks of choice!

Maturity, bitches.
Thanks for the spoiler
that he survives the end of Phantom Blood.

:(

Well I've edited my post, but that incarnation of
Dio Brando
is the most famous of all seeing as there has been an arcade game, OVA and widespread meme with him.

Apparently TMS stitched together an English pilot from episodes 1 & 13 of the tv series with a bit of new animation mixed in in order to shop the show around in the US sometime in the 80s. Not yet explored the franchise itself but this dub & plot line didn't seem to do the show any favors. In this, Cobra leads the resistance against the nefarious Dark Side pirate clan who are running rampant across the Fourth Galaxy. Yeah, I don't care either. He was a nonstop quip machine with lines perfectly suitable for a saturday morning cartoon although this was a little more intense than such. What did get me excited for rest of the franchise (especially the tv series) was how beautiful the show was. God damn. I'll dig into it when I get around to my next set of shows.
The picture quality on those images is really good! I didn't know until you pointed it out with this post that the Blu-ray BOX included this pilot. The whole package looks even better now, and it was amazing to begin with:

I have never seen a single case in anime ever when that was actually true. Yeah, I really am not a fan of Either Haruka or Michiru right now.

Subete no aware
The Avengers Precure All Stars... 4?

So, decided to get this out of the way as well. And yeah, it's basically a glorified Smile Precure episode drawn out to barely over 70 minutes (it even had some of the same comedy beats and visual reaction gags). Still, if you're the target audience for this - specifically someone who has seen the last three Precure shows - then this is basically your version of The Avengers and I can imagine being hyped by the fanservice porn.

The first group shot is nice...

But the Heartcatch girls got the big entrance:

There are a couple things that I found weird. First is that apparently people actually do see the Precure and know of their existence in a big scale?

It makes it seem like Spider-man or Superman... you'd almost expect one of the girls to be a blogger taking iphone photos of themselves in action.

Then there's this
Cure Echo
stuff... but since it happens in the movie, I assume she's not canon?

As for the other Precures being dumped in at the end, it did feel very perfunctory. It makes perfect sense why they didn't bother to voice them, because having four full teams of Precures was probably expensive enough without having to pay everyone else. lol
They probably should just retire the older ones though. There's no reason for them to be there other than for the sake of completion.

I thought this moment was funny if only because you could tell this whole sequence was designed so that the girls in the audience could chant along. I have to imagine that at the theatre, they handed out those glow sticks and the girls were all excited to use them at the right moment. Certainly that sort of weird communal film experience doesn't really happen here anymore (outside of a shitty Rocky Horror screening).

Oh, and based on the Precures I saw, the Smile VAs are the best at not mangling their English transformations/attacks. :p
I'm still not sure who has the most fabulous transforms though. I want to say it's the Smiles, but then again, they really only did the full transforms for four groups and the Suites were nothing to write home about and the Heartcatch transformations were truncated quite a bit. The Fresh ones had the best after-effects, but the actual transformations were also pretty short.

I'm trying to think what other animu franchise could do this every year. I mean, I know the shounens crossover once in a while, but you have to be a fan of both to get the most out of it. Here, all you need to be is a fan of Precure and you "get it".
