I'm pretty sure this is what he says at 29:47:

"We've been having requests wondering if the commentary will be subtitled. Yes."

Maybe another Bakemonogatari fan can double check that I'm not hearing it wrong. Wish he'd spent more than 5 seconds on it.

The least the show could do is to use actually different tracks instead of the same handful of ones over and over, ones that happen to suck really bad too

From what people have posted so far, seems this weeks Accel World isn't some bs drama shit. Will be watching it shortly.

If I can find the time between these Olympic matches. :(

Ha I'm watching Hyouka of my own free will. I'm just a glutton for punishment.

The student film arc is awful, absolutely awful. The way they use music in this show and specifically in this arc is offensive, they try to create fake tension and wring out other fake emotions from the viewers by constantly playing the same BGM tracks over and over when its actually just completely unfitting and uncalled for.

I really do hate this show but Chitanda is the reason I'm sticking around. I heard I only need to make it to episode 12 before it gets good so I'm almost there now.

Episode 12 is the only one I've seen if that was meant to be good then the 11 episodes before it must of substantially lowered everyone's already low standards.

Another great episode. This show is the best this season hands down. It sort has the perfect mix with comedy and drama.
Taichi secret build up made you think it was something dark but Inaba's reaction was great
. I guess the one complaint someone can have that the show basically depends on Taichi but I think the character is good.

I ball so hard, 3 guys try to stop my shot, & I still make a shot behind the backboard. Aomine is the anime kobe confirmed, I said dayum at his fast breaks.

One of the better episodes so far. It was extremely well paced despite leaving certain stuff out. The transitions are much better than the last and everything is pretty coherent. Not only that but we get more insight to Kirito's personality as well as his character making the episode feel more heartfelt than the previous. The action seemed alright. The information about the game is extremely well presented especially about player colors. The only part that was a bit odd was when Kirito talked about Suguha.

Good animation, I enjoyed it for what it was and I'm surprised that they're willing to change his outfits nearly every episode.

Next episode is another side story but from vol 7 rather than 2. I'm hoping that this will be two episodes instead of one because of how detailed and well-thoughtout the entire story was. Hopefully....

Much like I couldn't escape Fate/Stay Night when I watched Oreimo, I'm paying for my Ro Kyu Bu sin by having loli antics leaking into Sword Art Online. Fuck everything.


It wasn't all that bad though as there was plenty of UI porn, some nice usage of the in-game stuff such as player indicators and skill systems, and Kirito walking around being a
badass dps check for the flagged players
was so fuckin' cool. Ep didn't feel as compressed as the last two either which was a good thing.

Do you think the next arc will be one or two episodes?

I've no idea as I don't know anything about the LNs.
Is the crime in the title of the next episode going to be player killing? I sure hope so.

I can tell you the quick premise of the episode.
Someone kills a player within the city, when it's impossible to do so.

It's just as well as show doesn't really have much to offer to those not into it for the LN adaptation or the MMO stuff.

It's one of my favorite side stories. Really really good. It also sets it up for stuff in the future if they decide to continue the series, if they adapt the SS well.

My top 10 animu list would probably be something like this

5 Centimeters per Second
Baccano
Haibane Renmei
Kaiji
Kuuchuu Buranko
Mononoke
Only Yesterday
Planetes
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Usagi Drop

I guess I need to watch more older stuff
I don't want to comment on anyone's top ten lists in particular because, well, there isn't much point in doing so. I just wanted to add that I haven't posted my own because I literally cannot create top ten lists of anything whether it be books, anime, films of what have you. There's just far too many works I enjoy in a variety of ways, some of which aren't even comparable to each other.

Just say that Bakemonogatari is your number one and nothing else can compare.

Taichi is definitely perfect for the lead role in this. Though what would his issue be and Aoki's issue, since weve covered all the girls. I can't imagine they are both truly faultless. But this episodes shocking moment
was also an awkward moment was so awkward, that secret, just throws everything off. To think it would lead to an actually emotional moment with Inaba and then them forging their bond forward was not what I expected. Though did she seriously do the same to him? Is she in love with him and he with her, and them all? Its just so open ended now
.

I think its really a good series that knows how to balance comedy with serious moments.
 
That post was from yesterday. lol. And yeah, I don't. I've been getting that a lot as of late.

Having Guilty Crown on a top 10 isn't even close to the atrocity of having Pandora Hearts as your favorite manga (okay, this is the last time I'll hound you for it, I promise).

Really? Why do you not like PH? Jw.

EDIT: Just for those of you who care about SAO and which adapation I prefer thus far.

Episode 1: Anime adapation

Episode 2: Anime Adaptation

Episode 3: Light Novel

Episode 4: Anime Adaptation

Guess you didn't see my post from yesterday.

Not gonna judge, but that's a REALLY weird top manga to me. Maybe it's because I've read over 400, some of which I didn't like but stuck with, yet Pandora Hearts couldn't keep my attention for more than 20 chapters. The art is generic, the characters are annoying, it's just dull all around.

I do have one question regarding episode 4 & the LNs.
Was the story episode 4 based on written from Silica's perspective? Kirito felt very much like support cast rather than the lead this time.

It was Silica then I believe it shifted somewhere in the middle of the LN. I forget. They change perspectives A LOT in the LN for various stuff.
 
I don't know what you're talking about. It's super easy.

1. The Sky Crawlers
2. Angel's Egg
3. Ghost in the Shell
4. Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer
5. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
6. Patlabor 2: The Movie
7. Gosenzosama Banbanzai!
8. Patlabor: The Movie
9. Twilight Q episode 2
10. Urusei Yatsura episodes 1-106

See?

You can't just remove episodes in a top 10 list...
 
Its have same appeal to the likes TRC, XXXholic or Black Butler which I'm guessing you don't interested in those too.

PH does pick up late though.

I wouldnt put Pandora Hearts in the same league as Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, thats up there with Spiral as my favorite manga. They arent plagued with an annoying Bea Rabbit for one. Break also comes off almost like a weaker carbon copy of Fai...
