Can't fault you for that choice.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
Which one is this? Is that SAO or Accel World? Because now I'll watch whichever one of it is first.

Accel World. And not just for KYH (though she is the best girl there).

Except when a town became available , the only one is the town front line are the people who try to beat the game and the merchants that support them. i short high level and serious people.
There is a moment ( when a level is cleared ) where you can find all kind of players but that's all.
Getting drunk should be possible...
Both shows are really fun and you should watch them.

Kayjun approved.
Well he could be supporting them with the power of dance. He's doing a vital service keeping moral up. And I'm pretty sure you don't have to be serious to do well. There could always be a competent guild of jokers.
Getting drunk without the risk of liver damage and hangovers. Why even bother getting to floor 100 when you can just waste away on floor one getting pissed every night?

lol. WHY DID YOU CAHNGE YOUR AVATAR?!
From Wikipedia:
"A redheaded and green-eyes character with no name who was supposed to be part of the main cast, but was dropped as Yasuna had supposedly taken on all her personality traits. She has since vowed revenge against Yasuna and Sonya."
Voiced by Kugimiya, Japanese name 没キャラ.
Wow. That's pretty meta. Almost as good as Asagi in Nippon Ichi games.
SAO honestly isn't worth watching.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It has its fair share of problems but it's a pretty good show.
It totally is worth watching.

Oh God! The admin is Tom gone mad because everyone deserted MySpace so he made a new Space that no could leave. It all adds up.

Id be afraid they'd kick Taku to the side or something
Of course.
He would be confined to the guy's bath, and after some embarassing mistake in which he ends up going to the womens bath he is sentenced to death because of an ancient rule.

Speaking of which, just like there isnt enough Misaki in Hyouka, there is way too little of sky Raker in Accel World.

So we have a Hibari, a possible Fem Tsuna
(or maybe shes closer to Kyoko), a Mukuro, Umi, and is that a Gokudera?9.6 needs to hurry. This is so good.

well, not the big bomb.

Man, I really want the full version of the song they're using for the teaser PV. Can't wait to see who they've got on music.

The Garden of Sinners Part 3 - Remaining Sense of Pain
This was almost shockingly straightforward. Tight plotting, good twists (
), snappy pacing, an exciting climax: it all makes for a solid thriller. No individual scene stood out as much as some of the scenes from the first film, but since the overall narrative was much more comprehensible, it was a more pleasurable experience. I particularly enjoyed how the villain was set up and developed. Her surface motivations were presented at the very beginning and gradually more pieces were revealed until you had a fairly complete picture of her by the end. She made a good foil for Shiki. Ironically, Shiki and Kokuto had more chemistry here, as investigation partners, than in the film focused on their relationship.
If there's a criticism I could give, it would be that the film's depiction of rape felt a bit too casual, the opening scene in particular, though that could have been an attempt to depict Fujino's lack of pain sensitivity.
The Garden of Sinners Part 4 - The Hollow Shrine
This is pretty much what I had been expecting from the series: Nasuverse nonsense. But its real problem isn't throwing terminology like "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" around; rather, it is that Shiki is not compelling as a character to sustain a story exclusively about her development. If you're invested in the larger universe and ideas I could see this interesting you, but I'd rather the series focused exclusively on post-hospital Shiki investigating various supernatural cases, when her personality is suitable as an axis for the stories being told, and skipped the dull story of how she got to be that way.
But it was worth watching solely to see Kokuto burst out into an Engrish rendition of "Singin' in the Rain" out of nowhere. It was unintentionally hilarious.
On a positive note, you can definitely see an improvement in ufotable's digital art. Most obviously, the sky doesn't have that unattractive, simplistic gradient shading anymore. You didn't see a shot like this in the previous three films:
The look of the environments is more cohesive in general. In fact, the larger world of the hospital is so well realized that I wish the film had spent more time there instead of staying locked away in Shiki's private world for the most part.
The best part of the film was the post-credits scene, which reveals that
The next film should be fun.

I wish they did it of the other characters higher on this as well. Really liking how this is turning out hopefully they look exactly the same animated.

So it's not Wit Studio after all? Or could they still be classified as part of IG?
It's pretty groovy. Don't hear this sort of tune in anime often.
I don't like how the new character's head cuts off in the site's background image, so here's a look at Hanazawa's character without her hair sliced off at the top, and a look at the other characters at the tail end of the teaser:

Lool
That's a cool idea . cheerleading support !
I doubt the items to make those kind of drinks are be available on floor 1 .. You'll see in a few episodes that people who stayed on floor 1 for fear of dying aren't living "properly". or with all teh ressources who'd imagine.
i thought this extra episode ( on the beach with everyone ) was only in the ps3/psp game ?

Definitely. It's annoying how it cuts off just as it seems to be building towards a climax. Dang teasers!
