That would explain a lot lol
he idea of more adventures inside other evil mmo's did not appeal to me at all. whole series should ahve taken place inside Sword art online and have been 13 episodes instead of 26
It should have been 26 episodes inside of SAO, with more time spent developing Kirito and Asuna's relationship before they decided to spend 3 episodes just having sex in their cabin in the woods. It would also allow all the secondary characters who are introduced for 1 chapter then never seen again a chance to be more involved with the plot.
i agree with that. they haul ass up that tower. there was defiantly room for development of cahracters.
the one thing i can say is its wayy better than accel world. could not have stopped watching that fast enough.
on an unrelated note. anyone here read/watch fairy tail. It sounds like one piece with magic which sounds awesome!
is it good?
SAO would be fucking grand. That hatewatch heat.
Now that all the episodes are back up on hulu American Toonami fans basically have no excuse to not catch up. You can do it as you go along without any more spoilers then the current cast (which you've probably already be spoiled on as an anime fan just by any piece of OP artwork.)
i dunno, 206 episodes is a pretty decent excuse lol
2 episodes a day, 7 days a week will take less than an hour a day including hulu's adds. If you skip the opening and the recap you could push it to 3, but let's stick with 2 a day. Perfectly reasonable for most people.
You'll catch up in only 15 weeks and you'll still be outside the next major plot segment.
I will warn you that it is hard to stop watching OP when you start.

Feels bad manIt's gonna be hard going from 6-10 episodes a day to 1 a week.

not everyone wants to watch that much just to get caught up to something.
currently resisting the urge to take a shot every time somebody says "you're still alive?" or something along those lines
Going to be very hard to go to one episode a week. Also not looking forward to my first filler experience.

So One Piece starts this Saturday? or did it start this last weekend? What episode is it starting at again? I don't recall when the dubs ended, I want to say right before Water 7. At least I think it covered Thriller Bark...

ThanksThis Saturday starting at 207. Funi releases Season 4 Voyage 5 soon which goes to 263 which is right before Enies Lobby.
Thriller Bark is later.

207 is a good spot because davey back fight is a good breather before water 7/ Enis lobby goes balls to the wall

Plus there is a recap arc before it and if we started at Water 7 people would get scared off when they start doing callbacks to earlier arcs and Water 7/EL has a TON of that.
"But Daniel, GXP was by Funimation and that was horrible!" Yes I know, but it was an early dub, and even now Funi isn't perfect. I'm sure a lot of those Ecchi series they do aren't up to the same quality as DBZ Kai, Casshern Sins, Soul Eater and One Piece.
If there's one thing Toonami has shown me lately, it's the massive gap in quality between Viz dubs and Funimation dubs.
With Viz, the actor's deliveries are either stiff or completely phoned in. Specifically Kyle Hebert as Aizen, who isn't acting, he's just reading (can't really blame him, not even Al Pacino could make his bullshit sound good). It's also not helped by the literal translations. As much as weeaboos want them, literal translations are a bad idea. Meanings and idioms can be lost over time, and sometimes a character can be improved (Ted Woolsey turned Kefka from an annoying idiot to the RPG equivalent of The Joker, all through liberal translation)
With Funimation, the actors are actually into it. They show energy and passion, and Funimation also gets creative with the translations.
For example (this is a One Piece spoiler post-206)That's how one gets creative.The character Kaku spoke in a manner mostly used for older men despite being 23 years old. To reflect this, Funimation had him use really outdated slang.

Naruto's dub gets a lot better and Bleach's gets WORSE.
Gag dubs are awesome. We could all use more shows like Ghost Stories.
This is true. It's like all the VAs stopped caring for Bleach.
stopped caring for Bleach.
there's also the part where the source material is complete garbage. the only way to save GXP was probably to make it a gag dub.

That'd be hard as gag dubs only really work for shows that are serious in tone. Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged works because everyone takes these children's card games so seriously. GXP is already a comedy, it would be like RiffTrax trying to riff Spy Hard.
would it have been a bad idea to start at the recap arc?

It really was. Ghost stories for Toonami!Ghost stories is God tier gag dubbing
