I liked it. No one else did (except maybe Lain).
BRS TV? You know how some of us in here like to watch terrible stuff for fun? There's no joy to be had here.

Okada-bot ruined it. The OVA was fine at least.

I just rewatched this today. Just as good the second time around (technically third, since I watched the original web series first). I continue to be impressed at the way the various narrative threads weave around each other and come together in various points, making it feel cohesive despite the episodic character focus, and its sense of timing is impeccable.
Yasuhiro Yoshiura has a great sense of how to use camera movements as a way of portraying the emotional state of characters and their feelings towards each other. Time of Eve takes full advantage of its well-realized CG sets.
The way that scene transitions from humor to poignancy is superb.
I think the character art of Time of Eve is pretty solid throughout and the designs are appropriate and pleasant, even if they aren't the main draw. Earlier works from Studio Rikka such as Aquatic Language look much rougher in this regard.
I would encourage you to now watch Yoshiura's earlier short film Pale Cocoon, which is less accessible but fascinating in its own way, and keep an eye out for his upcoming film Sakasama no Patema.
Fate/Zero was the way it is since it was a simultaneous import release; there was no way they were getting away with anything more than a minor discount.
I was certain this wouldn't go over $200 at the absolute worst, but was really hoping for no more than $100. I guess they can command the premium since the NA release date is barely less than a year after the box's Japanese release (Dec. 21, 2011).

So going by MAL (which reflects the opinion of the majority if Angel Beats is anything to go by)
Only 11.24% of SAO watchers are potential Asuna haters. (adding ratings 1-3 together)
Also, the people who gave it a 3/5 rating are not necessarily Asuna haters either. They most likely rated it lower due to the lack of certain on-screen actions.
So overall, only 6.18% of views are likely to dislike Asuna, meaning overall she is the most loved and cherished girl by a very wide margin.
Hate all you want, but you just can not refute such solid data.

What are you considering "extras"? I think all NIS releases come with a hardcover art/info book.

They know that the people who are going to buy it will buy it at any price I suppose. I mean, Madoka was 225 if you bought the "super premium" edition after all.
I just wonder if the original release had any extras that they're not bothering to include in the set. They know that the commentaries are the big seller though.
Well, at least the OVA wasn't 8 episodes of dumb!I disliked the OVA too.
Except visually, of course.

Is it possible to scroll down the page and not stop and stare at that?
And you wanted to see 16.5. lol.

Yeah, Aniplex USA is using the standard Japanese anime BD market rules. Sucks for those of us without tons of money to pour into the hobby, but them's the breaks.
Looks like the disc contents are the exact same as the original box release. Character commentary, clean OP/ED, BD/TV episode previews, trailers.

Commentaries, radio interviews, drama recordings, background material, etc. Stuff that's on the disc.
So for me, a real premium package would be the Aria box sets, which include loads of cast and crew interviews along with SatoJun's location scouting trips to Venice.
I understand that not every show in Japan has all these extras, but when I know they exist, it's disappointing when they don't appear in the R1 releases.
I'm sure American fans like having Vic and the regular bunch of American voice actors do commentaries on Funimation releases, but - no offense to those people - that's like the last thing I'm interested in.

....but GAF loves Angel Beats!
Along with the rest of the Internet. (MAL, ANN and not to forget BIGLOBE POLLS)

Yeah, it's rather unfortunate... but I think Bakemono is a must own series that I will probably watch ten years from now. The fact that I've been waiting so long for the commentaries for so long is probably what makes the cost actually seem reasonable.
Lies, lies and untruths.
Xenoblade is a very fun rpg.
This is my typical approach to most anime.
I even bought Infinite Stratos eventually.
Yes. They all do.

Well that was a good episode. I liked the back story for Sei's great grandfather and Wang Yi
.
Everything with Chang Jiao was good though, as a fan of his character, I didnt like what happened
.
Xin is still awesome and that house/land.

never would have imagined he actually join Sei's side, seemed like he would have been an antagonist, but nice

all beat up and stuff by those punches and when he brought his arm down on the sword, ouch!
Xin is still awesome and that house/land.

I think the last anime I watched with outright sex in it was Utena and now SAO.
It is far more than 2 years worth.
The rest of the internet is dumb and/or stupid.

Youre not excited for tomorrows Duello!? So hyped for it, Liberta's gonna destroy everyone I hope.
Probably the number of posts he'll allow himself in the thread.

I was hyped for it eleven episodes ago when it proceeded not to happen in favor of the three-month bishounen parade I've endured. An entire tournament arc squeezed into a single episode is just the cherry on top of the disappointment sundae at this point.
I honestly think I'd rather have a troll end where the story ends inconclusively right as the Duello is about to begin. It would at least have a small claim to infamy in my mind that way.
