I doubt it. But that said, as I said elsewhere I find it kind of odd that theyre ending a sports anime with a date episode.

I feel like some people don't understand exactly what it is that makes SAO so bad. It's not actually the harem elements- while dumb, there are tons of shows with that. It's the fact that SAO wants to have its harem elements while also serving up ham-fisted drama and clumsily attempting to say something about the human condition. No show, I'm not going to invested in Kirito's struggles with having killed people while he also adds another desperate waif to his harem.
Also, why the heck wasn't this Laughing Coffin crap in the first season?
I literally had to stop watching and ly dow when this happened.

Why even with some sakuga this show still so fucking terrible, jebus.. some of scene being there for just sake of being there.. like that Itano circus couldn't placed any worse.
Fuck you Enokido.. what a piece of junk that you writing here, the asspull just keep piling.
The first season still the best I think, its have good mix of fun, funky, and engaging silly angel & demon's conspiracy ala Supernatural (The TV show)
I also adore the 2nd season a lot, the complaint came across as typical fan's anger over non-"faithful"ness to me.
Oh well I just wish if Book of Circus left you some bad taste its not gonna discouraging you to at least goes back to the first season.

Because Kawahara didn't expect his self-insert shitfic would sell.
Not caught up but weren't they the group in the murder mystery episode of S1 or is there more dumb shit being piled on?
SAOs problem is it tries to be serious instead of acknowledging how full of shit it is.

Haven't watched any of S2 but yeah thats accurate about them being in S1.
If Chiyo and Natsume's voice actresses were in a show together so many people would simply squee to death.

Really fantastic episode. While the last match dragged on way too long, very strong conclusion. Went in a different way than I expected but I think that's because
That last toss was out of this world. Production IG brought their A game.

I'm used to the protagonists winning in anime. Really surprising to see them close out on a match where they lose.

This show is playing with my feelings now. Why the hell would he leave without telling anyone?! Specially Naru, what the fuck. I hope it's revealed he at least had the decency to leave a freaking note for her or something. Does he want to traumatize her for life? smh.

Tons of shit does this.
Apparently at some point they round up a huge group of people to capture everyone in "Laughing Coffin" and Kirito killed two dudes. This wasn't worth showing in the first season even though he's not suffering from PTSD due to it.
Noooooo...
It's really good but the animation is definitely not the selling point. Most of the cycling is CG sadly.
What in the fuck
I Don't Understand What My Husband Is Saying shorts now have a promo. The rest of the cast has been expanded, and Kugyuu's there!

I'm honestly surprised that they would end at that chapter. Thought they would go for ch. 48.
Also surprised that they aren't going to adapt the
second dating sim
The CG basketball and net is awful.
Haikyuu!! and Ping Pong might've two of sport anime that had the best production value ever among its peer and both are from this year. Fantastic time to being sport anime fan.

Firehawk is right the show had more of stinker lately, but this eps is great.. some creative writing composition for comedy.
Talking about production value, its really bad and far from Haikyuu standard. Just watch Ookiku Fuurikabute if you on sport anime binge, its actually good.. Haikyuu itself seem taking cue from it.

Fredrica is wonderful!

At the moment, Free is probably the best sports anime. And it's not even that great.
That would've been a good stopping point too. The last part of the chapter that the next episode is covering is basically a "hey you know how there's been no romantic development between the main characters? yeah well here's this to shut fans up for a few chapters" kind of thing which is a probably the type of 'closure' one can expect from an adaption of an ongoing series like this.
But yeah I'm sad they didn't cover that particular skit or the "delinquent" one. There's still a lot of material left for a potential second season at least.

You judging sports anime is like you judging action anime - you don't care about what the show is about, so why even bother?

Naw, I know a good sports show when I see one. Ping Pong, for example.
My thoughts on having 5 episode arcs to depict a single game are long documented.

You only like Ping Pong and Free because they're not really about sports.

There are several airing right now.
Girls und Panzer.

Also doesn't require 10 episodes to play out a single battle!
Yes, they're about the people playing the sports and explain how athletes might have lives that go beyond throwing a ball around.

I think I've made my feelings on that show clear. The first four episodes were the best of the series. lol
I actually disagree with you on that.

Chihayafuru is stupid good. Way better than it has any right to. Definitely one of the good ones.

You know, for a shoujo this show encourages quite a few fucked up stuff for its intended audience. First bulimia, and now reinforcing that you must struggle through the pain of high heels even though it's proven that they aren't good for your back.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC Ep. 5
Still plenty of :wonzo shots (or close to that quality level). They must have ran into production issues because this shouldn't be happening given that these are critical episodes and with barely any action. The weird fanservice with the Major is a head-scratcher and a reminder of how much weaker this depiction of her is. Dialogue felt particularly weak in this episode. In trying to emulate Western procedurals they sure are nailing the poor visual storytelling.

There are several sports anime airing right now, yes, but how many of them are about the sport itself rather than the characters?
Take All-Rounder Meguru and Teppuu for example. Both are "MMA mangas", but Meguru spends much of its time talking about MMA as it is actually practiced, while Teppuu is almost entirely concerned with the lead psycho girl's superiority complex.
Ookiku Furikabutte if you're not DTL.
Watching that show is pretty funny as a western baseball fan since their portrayal of good baseball tactics is, uh, very different to say the least.
