Attack on Titan - 16
worthless words words words words words words words
the character drama in show is soooo bad, hahaha, Coupled with horrible inappropriate song again inserted in the so called 'dramatic scene'. Horrible horrible episode, damped my interest again after somewhat interesting episode last week. Next week seems interesting at least.

Is this how fast AoT is losing viewers' attention?
Mikasa Derpman and Derpmin Arlert
omg this scene was hilarious

I probably won't rip on it after this week. I don't have anything new to add to the conversation, so why say anything. I may call out a moment here and there, but eh. Not worth the effort.
See, this is why we need to encourage people to start posting about shows in their own OT if it has one. rip silver spoon thread
I was hoping the Gatchaman Crowds thread would take off but it looks like it'll be down to like three people watching it by the end.

Now I'm curious. Does the LN address this at all? Because the way they made it sound, it seemed like the Nervegear has a rechargeable battery (at least that's what it looked like when they showed the battery sign).
I really need to jump in there. I hate keeping track of multiple threads, so I tend to get lazy OTwise.
Actually, yeah, they did. One of the triggers for the killswitch was mentioned as "disconnection from an outside source of electricity for ten minutes".
So while there are still some plot holes, that at least isn't one of them.

Those 5 title sure sound crappy.
I'm just saying its can happened for bad manga, or any other adaptation material to have adaptation project that wasting talented people, its not like the case of lack of good staff ruining adaptation also not happened.
If there's LN with premise to at least can build atmosphere surely talent can capitalize that, I guess you're right though.. most of these LN can't be saved.

Couldn't they drain it out steadily? Hook it up to a charger for 1 minute, let it discharge for 9? It'd take a long while to do it, but I'd honestly be curious if that could be done.
(Granted it would leave someone open to being PKed, but...)
#dead
IIRC the microwave kill you if before it dead, so they forced to have it always connected.
Well...
1) You're really putting too much thought into this. It's just a dumb show, the author has even admitted in the past that the Nerve Gear trap is full of plot holes as an initial premise, so just let it go.
2) It would be risking an innocent person's life as a guinea pig without their consent to see what happens if the battery drops to zero.
3) Kayaba says "screw you" and probably has some countermeasure for anyone who tries this anyway.

1. I'm not harping on it, but I just took notice of it during this rewatch. It's not going to kill the show for me (trust me, other things do that).
2. Well I can't argue with that. It would be largely unethical... I just wonder if anyone tried it. Some parents might be desperate enough if they're child is stuck in the game. You never know how people would react.
3. That I probably can believe too.
So, here's an over-thought out question. What's stopping them from opening up the machine while it's still plugged in, cutting the microwave emitter from the batter, and then disconnecting. If you physically cut the battery cable, there should be no way for it to fry anyone.
"...any attempt to: unlock, dismantle, or destroy the Nerve Gear. If any of these conditions are met, the brain destruction sequence will start."
I'm pretty sure that would fall under the above categories.
And I'm done trying to defend SAO for the night. It's really not worth the trouble, especially given all the LN explanations/narration that were cut out from the anime adaptation.
You really should... you know... listen and look for ACTUAL plotholes.
Sure, that would make sense. Seems like the novel does a much better job explaining why the world of the game works the way it does, for better or worse. Really wish the anime delved more into that. The mechanics of a situation like this are always my favorite part of a show like this to me.
That wasn't a complaint/looking for a plot hole. I just wanted a to ask a question that intrigued me. He clearly knew the mechanics of the world from the LN and was prepared to answer. Those parts of SAO were always the most fun to me.

Lets play Cooking Usagi, and more Chibiusa is still a kid antics, this time with Curry, with douchebag Mamoru.
Anyway, Mamoru was going to turn her away until he saw Chibiusa, which he decided to care a bit mor----
Wait. Wait. Waaaaait. Hold on. Where's Motoki? He just feel off the face of the Earth after a while. No wonder I don't remember him, he stopped existing since Usagi found her go to penis (and then got dumped).
Uhh anyway, Chibiusa gets reminders of her Mom and pop (WHO LOOK FAMILIAR HMM), and shit goes down with Nipple Guard female and her sister.
"WE'LL FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE TODAY, NO MATTER WHAT" *droid gets killed and they retreat* lol.
Still not getting the hate for Chibiusa? Is it being the pantsu queen?

On a different note, Servant x Service 2-4
This show was instantly better when the section manager began talking through a stuffed animal. I find this hilarious, due to the Monokuma being used similarly. Also... is it basically confirmed Chihaya has a thing for Lucy (abbrev.)?
Hasabe, as bad as he is, still is pretty funny. The ending with the hotel was just hilarious.
And with that, I need to catch up with a different show... I guess I'll go with Day Break Illusion next.

Eh. I watched it expecting something horrendously terrible. I enjoyed it for what it was, it just hit critical stupid levels after a while and then it just flew off the rails into awfulville towards the end. But the entire show isn't THAT bad.

Sword Art Online Dubbed Episode 1: IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME, YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE! That will never get old. Anyway, this was a pretty dull episodes filled with the expected world building and laying out of the premise, which in all honesty really is like a stupider version of dot hack. Indeed the show really wants to be dot hack, though it seems to be lack an actual game to go along with it. Anyway, the dub seemed fine, not Funimation level good but not Viz styled bad either.
Speaking of VIz dubs, how'd Tiger & Bunny end up going? Never got a chance to check it out myself. Early clips seemed decent. Didn't like YL as Baranby, but TIger's voice sounded alright.

See here's the thing - I find it so hard to believe SAO lacks a multiplayer game of its own. I mean, even freaking Madoka Magica has an MMO.

A beach episode where girls wear bikinis! Take THAT Precure! And no villains either, but a fucking Loch Ness Monster, wooow. I'm surprised no one was bewildered by it existing, but I guess dealing with Youmas and Droids made them think otherwise, even if said villains had the form of a hot woman....
Speaking of which, how come none of the droids/youmas were male?

I know where it is, I came from there.

There were a few youma that were male. Like a number of the Rainbow Crystal monster dudes. Even Ali and En had a few Cardians that were male.
Never watched Tiger and Bunny, at least not yet.

Both the dub and sub are up on Hulu if anyone wants to check it out. I actually just started watching it myself. I chose the sub track, since it was available.
That's great, now leave it there where discussion of toonami stuff belongs.
Speaking of which...

I didn't see this in the OP but here's a list of shows that have their own OTs for this season. Not sure if I'm missing any and I dunno if there's enough room in the OP to add this. It'd be nice to keep track of them.
No.

Oh yeah, them. The other dudes who stop existing (and thus Ami lost a penis). And it's clear that I forgot the Doom Tree arc considering I actually forgot the name of those monsters. All I remember is that cheating gets you killed but also makes you realize how much you love your spouse.
Also that I will die for you is clearly the greatest pick up line in the series.
It's still anime, so I won't start banning over it or anything, but it'd be nice if Toonami talk could be kept to the Toonami thread. This thread is cluttered enough as it is.
All Cardians and Daimon were female, but not all Youma, Droids, Lemures, and Phages were.
Your name is in red so I'll listen to you.

The BBC recorded over the tapes anyway.
It's a pretty good dub. I don't recall having any complaints by the end of the show.
A sea of shit and still no adaptation of Biblia Koshodou in sight. Fuck anime.
It wouldn't be as good as the drama
