Not really fond of how popular Hinagiku is.

Spats and blush faces. Izumi is second best.
That said her inconsistent tone of self-reliant person versus isolated lonely girl tends to be a bit annoying. Well that and the knowledge that her one-sided crush will most likely go nowhere.

I don't think anyone has fully realized the trapped in an MMO premise. The .hack games got close, but still kind of missed it. For me, the premise remains interesting because I feel like there's something great there waiting to be made. It was clear from the beginning SAO wasn't that thing.

My biggest problem with the trapped MMO premise or even the expansive virtual reality worlds such Summer Wars is the element of interaction. It stretches credulity when you see these fantastic fight scenes with characters screaming at each other at the top of their lungs when their sole interaction is a headset and a basic controller or in the case of Summer Wars through a mobile phone.

The level of interactivity required for 1:1 virtual worlds seems at odds with what is presented. Unless you consider that everything you see in the game is a over the top dramatisation of the protaganists imagination.

Koikawa episode was alright, they could have cut back on the backstory moments as we already had his giving a whole lot and even in his own episode too, but it still had a rewarding end.

I think Real PG counts and Bloody Junkie kind of counts. Of course both got cancelled, so maybe we'll have to wait until SAO inspires something good for anything significant.

Whats that one? Maybe Ill look into it, after getting through all these cell phone powered survival games series.

Cardcaptor Sakura Movie I
This movie was kinda cool. On one hand it very predictably doesn't really advance anything. (it's set between episodes 35 and 36 of the series) on the other hand it shows us a bunch of things the show had only briefly mentioned in the past and were nice to see. Shaoran's mother, and sisters is one such example. We also get to learn more about Clow Reed who the show seems to like to keep mostly covered outside the whole powerful, but very loopy magician angle.
Another really good point of the film is that it features some pretty great effects animation and some very well done crowd scenes, the latter being very rare for anime to nail.
Overall it isn't particularly required viewing material but is worth a watch if you like CCS I think because it's pretty much a well made fanservice film.

I've always been curious; how do people find out who animated what if the animator in question isn't credited? Do they tell people via blogs or something similar? And why would they not be credited in the first place?

The October issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi sh&#333;jo magazine is announcing on September 3 that a TV anime adaptation of Hidekichi Matsumoto's Sabagebu! (short for Survival Game Club!) has been green-lit for 2014. Masahiko Ohta (Yuruyuri - Happy Go Lily) will direct the anime from scripts by Takashi Aoshima (Kotoura-san).

The story of the original manga revolves around Momoka Sonokawa, a girl who transferred into a certain girls' high school. The club she ended up joining at school was the "Sabagebu," a club that conducts survival games.

I'm remembering that spats thing at the beginning. In a way, it also reminded me when Hayate was less lewd. Sadly the problem with that is that once I noticed that, it became even more lewd afterwards.

Sword Art Online gets this one right at least. NerveGear jacks straight into your, well, nerves, and takes over everything. (I do remember when I watched .hack//SIGN way back when, the interactivity question bothered me there, though.)

And the VR technology in Accel World, assuming it's the same as the technology introduced in the most recent SAO novels (which is heavily implied to be the case),

jacks straight into your soul! And instead of building its assets from 3D models, it builds them from human memories, making the world's objects completely indistinguishable from reality!

When you reach that level, I think all bets are off =p

There's a C3-bu bandwagon already?

I can get behind this. Girls with (fake) guns has plenty of entertainment potential. If we can have four billion anime about girls in clubs devoted to doing nothing, we can surely accommodate a few anime about girls in clubs devoted to cool firefights.

 

[Novid]

Anime is covert
American Live action and live performances are overt.
the audiences are the same with major societal differences
they want women the same three ways...retarded-submissive, perverted to the nth degree or virginal and frigid.
Its the same as it ever was, but now its gotten just a bit worse.

there is a reason why im a Lich Disciple... the day comes when mankind will laugh at its own demise and ill just watch as it reigns over nothing but a steaming pile of its own blood, bones and aids ridden semen over a world that has been sinkholed to oblivion

but how about that Xenovia and Miss Cyrus folks?

i think you're wrong on this one cnet ... the technology that

Spoiler

use souls aka the soul translator

featuring in the alicialisation arc in SAo is not the one used in accel world.

In the very first volume of that arc there is a specific talk between kirito & asuna where kirito himself think that the next step is the "brain implant chip" and they talk how different bothe technologies are.
Furthermore , in accel world we do know that the nervegear & the brain implant chip are ancestors to the current accel world technology , brain chip being accel world compatible.

Spoiler

Soul translator is a dead end, that was stated from the start be cause how huge it is.

The only common point between the 2 is the fact that both accelerate the thoughts patterns of the user , but

Spoiler

that's not a feature of the soul translator it's something that both can do , because they at some point both used THE SEED as a base.

Another point that negate the fact that they are the same thing

Spoiler

is that soul translation uses a very ultra realistic look to the point that a user doesn't know if it's used or not when accel world clearly wasn't at that level.

Speaking of live action, does anyone have any recommendations of live action theatrical presentations like this?

I saw this one for One Piece and while I couldn't understand a word that was said, it still made me laugh and it was enjoyable. Is their any other anime's that had live action showings like this? I've already seen like 3 of these for One Piece that have been done, and I also saw a really good Gintama one.

On balance it's not as lewd as it could be considering; it's still a ways from To Love RU or such like despite the numerous occasions of "accidental nudity".

Those spats though...

Written dialogue moe.
It's becoming increasingly hard for Shaoran to hide his true feelings now. He's so moe. Almost contesting Sakura on that front thought that is some very stiff competition.
Especially when she enters Hunya~ mode as 36 called it.
Good episode.

And Sakura could be none the wiser. Speaking of, I find it baffling how she just NOW suspects the teacher might be the one on the dream or that she seems to know about every card that appears.
