Well he's pretty much unassailable, so why bother?

Let's worry about the naruto filler if/when we get to it.
Hopefully they maybe go through 5-10 episodes. Maybe laughing shino, the episode with the ostrich (since it shows up here and there in filler segments of non-filler eps later on in shippuden IIRC), and the bikochu beetle arc.
They'd be really stupid to go through all 90 episodes or whatever.

It's also established in that same episode that beta testers created information guides to help out new players with info they gathered and that things changed from the beta to the final version such as the boss weapon and that a lot of the beta testers were scrubs who couldn't beat the first level. It just feels like the author never really knew how to handle the beta players
probably why the whole plot point is dropped after this point
Channel that rage into beating the damn game and kicking his ass. The fact that he's unassailable should be all the more motivating.
No, what doesn't make sense is the fact that they go from "FUCK BETA TESTERS!" to "Yeah, I guess you have a point, they were the ones handing out all the manuals and stuff..." to "I BET YOU CHEATED AND YOU WANTED HIM TO DIE EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE YELLING FOR HIM TO STOP AND WERE THE ONLY PERSON TO TRY TO GIVE HIM A POTION! FUCK YOU!"
Literally, they go from cheering him as a hero to calling him scum over the course of 30 seconds.
And then Kirito basically goes on a tangential rant about everyone being trash and completely ignores the fact that he's practically being called a murderer to his face. Makes no attempt to clear his name or justify his actions or even own up to his solo play.... or to point out that the boss was slightly different than expected, to his surprise.

I think it did do some good for Soul Eater. Anecdotally, I know a few people who had seen Eva and liked it (but not as much as me) and didn't know the Rebuild movies were out until Toonami aired them (Me, having them on DVD was all GO WATCH, of course)
I believe on tumblr they vaguely confirmed it because they are "new episodes" or whatever. That shit makes NO SENSE as a viewer, but I guess I'd want my money's worth too. If they did go outside the Toonami budget to get Naruto, it would make sense that they air the whole thing. I'm not totally willing to attribute all of the ratings spike to it though. One Piece is a great show for a block like Toonami. It has the reward of continuity for long time viewers, but it is a rare point that you can't just jump in at a random point and not enjoy the action and humor. IF Naruto is is sole reason for the spike, after I finish groaning at the tastes of North American anime fans(again), I will hope that they build up a line up that can sustain it. The infamous filler will be a drop off point, especially if it seems like there is still no plan to air Shippuden when that time comes.
Makes it better for me. I can go to bed at the same time that I do every week and not have to stay up later.
Pretty sure copious amounts of alcohol and blows to the head would be required to accept everything SAO throws at you.
Seriously, how is it popular? I saw comments going "MY FAVORITE ANIME EVAR" and "SO GREAT". Are the standards of anime fans really that low?

yeah, but he's not really...there. people would rather pin their troubles on something they can see
Marmaladefire said:
well, if you look at everything else that came in around Naruto's time there's really nothing else to attribute it to.
they did later backtrack on the filler back to "that's a ways off, don't worry about it yet", so that leads me to think when they said "WE WILL NEVER SKIP FILLER" they meant just the episodes here and there within the storyline, not the big chunk of nothingness.

The art is one of my least favorite parts. Generic animu. Looks like cheap jank like Bakugan.
The music, though, deserves a bit of praise.

Episode 2 takes place a month after the players have been trapped in the game. Just because beta-testers gave out guides eventually doesn't disregard their behavior at the start of the game. It's been stated that many ran off to farm the best monsters and horde the most valuable items.

There are boobs at some point right? I feel like that has to be it. I remember these otaku trollops trolling tumblr about this show being good when it came out. This is it?
SCHOOL DAYS IS MY FAVORITE ANIME, WORLD.
I like the premise and the music. I can enjoy it even though I know it's not very good.
Short answer? Yes.
All you have to do is look at what gets released on a season to season basis to see that, yes, the standards of anime fans are really really really really low.
The best monsters and most valuable items...ON LEVEL ONE. That concept still utterly boggles my mind. That's like the Chinese farmers who used to camp out Leaping Lizzy back in the day in FF XI. And even THAT was level 10!
Hmmm *walks into anime thread* ... *runs out screaming*
Supposedly, the original light novels have explicit sex scenes. However, they were cut out of the anime so.... I have no idea.
That so? *looks up Summer season* Yeah a lot of this looks like crap. Ugh.

If it is, I nominate Free! Iwatobi Swim club to be the next Incredibly Divisive Series on Toonami. It can premiere on April Fool's Day, but the joke will be on you if you think they won't air it every week.
This summer season is the least awful one in years, as bad as it seems. Watamote is a comedy gem, and The Chronicles of The Going Home Club is the only cute girls doing you can finish this sentence for me show that's been tolerable since they unleashed K-On into the world.

i dunno, i took this as that guy's paranoia. Kirito went out and said most of the beta testers were stumbling morons, too.
They are a strange and impenetrable folk, but they are divided on SAO.

The two summer anime worth checking out are Gatchaman Crowds and Silver Spoon. Maybe Blood Lad but I haven't watched it
Blood Lad has one of the biggest wankers I have ever seen lead a show. Love Lab to my never ending shock and horror is actually funny and worth watching, still trying to figure that one out. Also Servant X Service is decently funny and takes place an office.

I hadn't checked it out simply because the people saying that were anime gaffers who's opinions are very different from mine. If you of all people enjoy it Shard that means it has to be doing something right.

Do they show/make reference to a lot of scenery or surrounds or food in this show? I'm weirdly fond of anything taking place in Hokkaido.

I can't watch that show, brings back horrible memories of my high school anxiety :/
There is a little bit of DTL in all of us <_<

It hits too close to home, but I can't help but watch. It is quality. Episode 4 was indeed hard to watch. Sayonara Zetsubou sensei levels of despair.
You could just watch Free after and revel in what my high school experience was not.
not like I do that

I don't even watch new anime until it shows up on Toonami.
At least I won't be lonely
This is why I am waiting on HxH, I want to watch it fresh with you guys.

I'm still waiting for Inuyasha the final arc.
This seems unnecessarily limiting.
