You're going to be disappointed. I enjoy SAO and think tomorrow's episode is trash. I really can't wait to see the reactions.

If by goods you mean gratuitous fanservice and lonely person pandering, then it has indeed been bringing the goods.

I'm not disagreeing with what he's saying, it's just funny how he tore the author of the article to shreds. There's a lot of that in the comments if you dig.
I didn't really see any humorous entries out of the people agreeing but they're still fun to read.

Richard Eisenbeis is still a fucking hack, also, we didn't laugh at this weeks ago, must have been the other thread.
Oh Jesus Christ, we're fucked? Why couldn't I have another date on Saturday? No, I make it Sunday so I can watch Toonami.

So Princess Peach is more your type, eh?
Really? I thought it was one of the least offensive episodes actually. The two part one right?

Spoilers for tomorrow below
Yup this is the two part episode. The pace is excruciatingly slow though, I feel like there's only 5 minutes of actual content worth watching. Also, it falls into the same trap of throwing the audience a new character for 5 minutes, killing her off, and then expecting us to care in an effort to create drama. What's really gonna piss people off is finding out she's not dead.
This remains the greatest two minutes of SAO, and possibly anime as a whole

I love how Kirito instantly knows it's a trap but lets his friends run in there anyways to get killed. He must have thought it would be funny and he was right.
Kirito might give Aizen a run for his money as master troll

Oh Sachi, your humming is so soothing on the ears
They gave a character we knew for 6 minutes an easily avoidable death and expected us to care. That GIF still makes me laugh.
I didn't see the other two trolls join in. As if he wasn't dead enough.
A little more than 24 hours remain until the next painful injection guys. Rest up.
I'm a third of the way through DB, going to watch all of DBZ as well.
GT though...I have it all, donated from a friend years ago. I've never watched it all in order, heck I've barely seen any of its awful first half or so.
It tries to be DB so hard in the beginning and fails so spectacularly. Then it tries to be DBZ and fails until it gets better villains near the end.

The "Lost Episodes" is actually decent in its own right, but fails as a sequel to DBZ. DBZ already established that the characters were overpowered, so it never really feels like the heroes are in any sort of danger.
The Baby Arc is actually decent, the ending with Piccolo saying goodbye to Gohan is actually pretty damn emotional.
The Super 17 is basically a Greatest Hits of DBZ with them battling Frieza, Cell, & Android 17 again. But its cool that #18 was given a story role, and its only 6 episodes.
The Shadow Dragons has a neat concept, but most of it is just battle after battle after battle. Granted, DB and DBZ were like that at times too, but GT battles are more Ki-Spam oriented than DBZ was! But Vegeta gets some decent development here, and the ending is great.
Oh, and the TV Special is actually pretty good too.
Blue also kicks his ass but its mainly by a cheap trick.

master roshi was literally top tier in DB for 95% of it, funny how that is

Yeah, King Piccolo was the arc that really started a lot of the DBZ-esque tropes and finally turned the series into a battle manga. Its where quirky mini bosses first appeared and where good guys first started dying.
Contrast that to the Red Ribbon Army where Goku goes around effortlessly murdering everyone just so the comic can show how superhuman he is. And where the bad guys main motivation was to get taller.
That's because the main theme of 95% of DB was how awesome Roshi's teachings was and how much better it was than any other learning method. Therefore Roshi had to be awesome until he "retires" during the Piccolo Jr tournament (which is more than what most DB characters got when becoming obsolete).

I hate how useless Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha became in Z. They were literally there just to be killed off all the time.

They didn't have that superior sayian blood

Krillin was pretty useful for most of the series though. He was one of the few characters still doing shit against Buu. And Yamcha was the designated loser even during Dragonball. But you're totally right about Tien. After Nappa kills him he's pretty useless outside of 1 or 2 moments during Cell.
But that's the rule in Dragonball. If you're not Piccolo, Goku, Krillin or Vegeta, you're pretty much useless after you die once.

Yeah it got kind of annoying how only the saiyans were of any use after the Frieza saga. But the writers kind of put themselves in a corner once Goku went SSJ.
Refresh my memory, what did Krillin do during the Buu saga? I haven't watched it in ages.

He got laid with android 18 which requires a far higher power level then saving the world...
Honestly that's all I can think of for canon krillin during that arc, maybe he does more in anime filler

He did some things during the Tournament and Majin parts of the Saga. During the Buu part specifically, he took on Super Buu alone to buy time for his family and friends to escape, Didn't work since its Super Buu and all, but at least Dende managed to escape (aka the only real important one).
Its not much, but in a saga where even the saiyans were dying for the stupidest reasons ever, at least Krillin went out a hero and did more than the rest of the human cast combined.
Plus he wasn't a liability like Gotenks was. Fucking Gotenks.
I'll give you a free tip and warn you not to read any articles done by Richard Eisenbeis, head of Kotaku East, they are pretty consistently terrible.

So do I need to watch the first Eva before next week or is there no continuity?
Yes, you need to watch the first one.
Yamcha has no highlights.

Have you ever watched the original Eva series? 1.11 was more of less a condensed version of the first 8 episodes with a few changes
