Yeah. I remembered after posting. So I guess I did blank it out. Or rather I have rewatched SAO just that I stop when the first arc ends.
So I'd completely forgotten about that tentacle episode. Not that I'm sure it had actual rape.

But then again anime also includes other things in the realm of pets:

Happy birthday!
Well, I mean, Sugou never put his dick inside of Asuna, but he did sort of keep her brain and 300 others in a prison for his jollies. He did spend time to program a flavor for her tears. He may never have raped her, but he was definitely getting rapey.
I'm going to write an anime where an office worker gets stuck in a game of solitaire.
but was it rape rape?
The kind of rape a woman enjoys, obviously.

Well, that's a statement.
I wonder how many other manga/LN are about this subject.

I thought Makoto kind of explained that in this episode. He only swims freestyle because the reason he swims is that he loves the water and feels most at home there, and freestyle is the only style that allows him to just "be himself" without any restrictions.
This show runs on Rule of Silly. Applying logics is futile.
(Don't worry, though, the show hasn't forgotten about the card club or the rival.)
Not quite! I still (unreservedly) think that it's great, though, in that context, it's hardly the most suitable.
Finally finished the first season of Working!! Bloody hell those last 3 Episodes were just a slog fest. Also, did they run out of money by the end? The art direction have gotten considerably worse and worse as the series progressed.
I still liked it, overall. I'll post my impression later.

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is one of my favourite animated movies.
It's kind of a thriller set in an alternate history where Germany conquered Japan during WWII, about a relationship between a suicide bomber's sister and a member of the riot police.

This is not even up for debate.
I'm listening...
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYY
lol holy crap
speaking of which i just watched an excerpt of
Episode 7: Lisbest Is In This One
Alright, let's see how this goes...
After hearing dub voice
One of the only tolerable things from SAO.
If you can deal with the ugly art and extreme violence and gore, you might want to look into Genocyber.

This wasn't a super-exciting episode. It sets up the exact shape of the trap the characters are in, trying to resolve a civil war between two sides that are willing to cooperate to get them out. The leader of the side they're supposedly friendly with has a thoroughly ridiculous design, but I enjoyed watching the obvious plotting play its course. Now to see how they get out of this situation.
I dunno, I don't have a lot to say for this one. I can't tell if the direction is getting better, or if I'm getting more interested in what's happening, but either way I'm having a better time than I expected after the first episode.

There were a few moments of dramatic posing that I didn't really understand. They had all these dramatic sound effects and stuff, but the motions themselves didn't seem all that significant.

I love Kaminomi and Haqua so damn much.
Sorta a spoiler I guess?
It's a shame they skipped one of the best bits from the manga regarding Haqua though.
I must know. What bit ?

You've seen more about it later, but it's essentially magic. I don't think inquiring more deeply than that into the logistical details of the fantasy world of the Rozen Maidens is productive.
I think this was the incident that made him stop attending school and become a shut in in the first place, so technically it wouldn't be "even more". Jun's backstory was moving; I think many people can relate to having some hobby or skill that they tried to hide from others for fear it would cause them to be socially ostracized. Kids can be merciless with this. Although, as the revisit of the flashback in episode 7 highlights, many of the other students did praise Jun's work when it was revealed in the assembly and Jun simply couldn't hear them over those who mocked him. That's the long-lasting impact of bullying: the cruel, criticizing voice becomes internalized to the point where you can no longer believe anything positive about yourself and shut out all voices which contradict that low self-esteem. It takes a while for those scars to heal; as in Jun's case, they linger into adulthood, sensitive and easily reopened.
That's what makes Kirakishou such a compelling antagonist. She lingers in the background, quietly weaving her web and manipulating her enemies until the time comes for her to strike.
The use of music and sound in general is carefully thought out. Many scenes don't use music at all, relying on ambient noises to create the setting and mood, which makes the music when it does enter that much more meaningful. As you point out, the music that begins when Jun is excitedly talking about fabric with Saito is soft, gentle, warm, high in register and light in texture, marking the moment Jun starts to open up to another person and begin to take pleasure in life. The music continues over scenes of Jun's day at university and work, as Jun carries and cherishes the memory of that pleasant conversation, a talk over trifles yet an important step for him personally, throughout his day.
Well, middle school Jun had to learn to brew the kind of tea Shinku likes with practice. College Jun hasn't had that practice, so of course he's not going to get it right the first time.
Good catch. I didn't make that connection.
The process of building a doll is a solitary affair, keeping Jun holed up in his room. Once Shinku was created, though, she gave him someone to talk to and motivation to go outside to shop, creating the opportunity for Jun to begin to grow close to Saito. Keeping his new doll a secret from Shinku was Jun's main mistake.
On the subject of pacing, it's interesting to note that episodes 2-8 adapt approximately a chapter of manga each while 9-10 adapt around 4 chapters. That's a smart decision, since Jun's story is the more interesting one while the fantasy Rozen Maiden plot tends to meander.
The doll parts are inherently creepy, and this twist only makes them more so.
This moment made me roll my eyes. Fortunately it wasn't dwelt on; doll harem antics would be insufferable.
I don't know; she's often made to be a joke, but I thought her violin playing to break the crystals was one of the coolest moments for any doll in the show. I did enjoy her nonsensical verbal tic being lampshaded and made fun of. That alone makes her a better character than Suiseiseki.

Way too high level or something. Just couldnt get into it at all (though there was a KoiChoco reference in that chocolate stuff). Bewbie missiles, nekkid chocolate licking, and bath scene...too much.
Problem Children are Coming from Another World, aren't they? Episode 1 and 2
New school year, new anime club watches. Pretty fun anime at times and kind of funny two with the character personalities and all being overpowered. Wish episode 2's focus was on actually good characters but still entertaining at the end of the day. Izayoi is one of animes best characters though and instantly love at first sight even. Quite hilarious, entertaining, witty, and has a great personality. Though I wonder what his past must be like if he is truly that bored (and probably friendless it seemed). I think I will enjoy it if it stays on the games and does a bit less on that super serious plot...ED dancing is amazing.

I hope i'm just in an introduction phase ... and that the plot will kick in after.

It's a shame regarding haqua but that skip was again expected given how much episodes they have for this arc.
At this rate they don't care about the great subplot ..

The bits where she's imprisoned. They showed her initial meeting with Nora but a load of stuff happened after that before she ends up on the boat with Dokurou.
I'm happy with the anime anyway, I started off with the anime initially so I got to read loads of extra content when I went back and read the manga, it's just this season I'm fully up to date with the manga so I'm ahead

Well the plot needed a more capable partner than elsie and aqua was the closest character possible... Given what aqua went throught in the manga i'm pretty sure It was impossible for elsie.
Again this isn't obvious in the anime because they cut Aqua big moments and those events are at the basis of the next arc plot ( after this one ) but they don't care for this anime season i guess.
Haqua is indeed more popular
In the end , it's 60% plot , 40% popularity

Man this episode was a chore to get through. Full of overblown melodrama over shit that happened years ago that we've known about for a while. Its like I'm watching AnoHana all over again!

I'm caught up through episode 14, and I have to say it is turning out much better than I would have initially expected. The mecha action at the very least has been quite good.
