To my eternal shame I forgot the ending had a musical lead-in too. It's etched into my memory as that close up of Odasaku and the mute --> scream transition.
Glad you liked the arc.

Ouran too lol.

Ouran doesn't really surprise me, though. Just like Bebop and Yu Yu Hakusho on there it's remained pretty popular over the years with its crowd, and it's probably still seen as one of the definitive anime series among the female fanbase.
But when the fuck was the last time you heard anyone even mention Kenichi?

Can't believe this quote is relevant after all these years.
Huh: Anime finds a way.

I've always been under the impression most people like Kenichi. It's just never brought up because it doesn't have updates and just isn't in the conversation as much as other shows.

But casuals love SAO. In fact, isn't it one of the most popular anime series ever? It's a great show for "casuals"
If they don't like it, that's fine, but they should give it a hot because the show does make a lot of people happy. (just not the hardcore enthusiasts, lol)
Sweet, we doing this gents!
I can't bear to cry alone!
Who would be in for a nice Eureka 7 AO group watch?
Don't make me suffer alone!
Ugh course there would be a Darkness nendo too (probably will be revealed at Wonfest next month if they have been teasing it).XD Bleh I would rather just get one of the girls, so shall see how Darkness turns out, but I probably will just stick with Megumin.
Preach it my dude.

What is this "AO" thing people keep recommending for a group watch? I'm pretty sure that show doesn't exist.
That's another thing. Saying a show is popular and casuals love it really needs to stop being this deflector of criticism.
Why does SAO need more attention? Why should we direct more people towards it? There are tons of good shows out there that get overshadowed because of it. I'd rather see more people recommending lesser known good shows instead of just linking them to what's at the top of MAL.

He's a blue collar worker type guy, has very little time since he's always working multiple jobs to make ends meat. He likes One Piece, and other anime on Toonami, but has very little time/drive to go hunting for whatever doesn't make it to the networks. I imagine most casual anime fans are like that. It's better than my other best friend,
who doesn't understand that give and take is part of any friendship *grumble grumble*

What's wrong with the top rated shows on MAL. They're all highly rated and many of them are shows people on here love too. I do agree in directing lesser known shows that people would otherwise not have seen. Like Hyouka. SAO is nowhere in the top rated shows on the site? I would recommend Clannad and Gurren Lagaan any day of the week for those who haven't seen it. Because they are, in fact, that good.
But we must also be cognizant that these top shows may have not been seen and they should still be recommended. It is, however, up to us to bring to light some lesser known shows when newer fans complete those shows.
Plus people watching some of the top rated MAL shows helps me in determining what a person may like in the future and I can recommend better anime for them.

Im not gonna lie, as much fun as it is to joke about it, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with recommending some of these popular shows that gaf may not necessarily approve of as a whole. SAO has many issues, but ultimately it's dumb fun and clearly it clicks with enough people.
But it depends on the person. If it's a person that has made it clear they want highly acclaimed shows, I won't recommend Big Bang Theory if I can recommend Arrested Development.

But I don't wanna be an asshole. I want them to like me or it will invalidate all my weeaboo-iest existence. =/
Also after leaving that food place and my new businessmen friends behind, my friends and I went to Bar Rock Rock over in AmericaTown and the bartenders kept trying to play music from the bands on our shirts (I was wearing Refused, other friend was Converge and last was Enslaved) and I used Google Translate to talk to this lady bartender with dreads about Guns and Roses playing with BABYMETAL. She was...not a BABYMETAL fan...
I'm sorta annoyed that Megumin nendo is not out yet, wanted to pick it up here. Guess I'll settle for Aqua?
And I'll throw my hat in the ring because I'm not invested as much in this and I've been very vocal about this thread before, but Narag's right. I stopped posting here exactly because of the shit he said; this thread can be extremely toxic to discussion because personalities take over and create an awful environment. And I don't even hate the majority of the posters in this thread, hell, that's why I'm posting now because I like a whole hell of a lot of you but I don't have much interaction if I'm not posting here. And you guys would be one of the better places to talk about my trip to Japan cause I figured it'd be entertaining or funny to you. But I doubt I'll get back into actually discussing anime here again. I got fed up after getting shit on talking about Heavy Object for fucks sake, something super unimportant in the grand scheme of anything. Maybe I just wanted to talk about an anime maybe three or four of us liked and chatted up about without people constantly chiming in passive aggressively to make me feel like I didn't belong here discussing it.
I love yall but come on.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to feed these deer rice crackers and try to stuff one in my bag.

Maid Dragon - 02
It's cute, it's pretty to look at, doesn't get boring but it's still missing something. I liked the second episode more than the first, Tohru got a lot more likeable this time and Kanna reminded me of an a little older Ren-chon which is definitely a good thing.
It's just that I can't shake the feeling that there is nothing inherently interesting about the original work. KyoAni's part is amazing, as expected, but there is so much you can do with what you have to work with. Maybe I'll be proven wrong?

If the likes of SAO and Clannad were to become genuine, common suggestions in this thread then I'd sure think substantially worse of this community. If people's viewing history indicates that they might appreciate 'that' stuff, sure, but if they're generally asking for good anime and get a slew of serious SAO recommendations then hope has long been lost.
I mean we can argue about subjectivity and being inclusive all day but sometimes bad anime is bad and a Boku no Pico recommendation gets you banned for a reason.

I dont understand why one would take that to heart. Did your hard earned money go into personally funding the anime of choice? Are you on the staff of the show? Are you getting kickbacks from the anime company based on how many posts on the anime are made? I dont understand why you would feel like youre being attacked for wanted to like and talk about something you watched.
I dont ever remember a time where I felt that way about the bufei load of anime that I love that other people here dont like or constantly and consistently try to get people to not watch or discuss, just this season, there is handshakers. But Im not gnashing my teeth and fleeing when people posted in post header titles about being glad there is no discussion of this seasons best kept secret.!!!1 S

The guy who threw a gigantic fit and called me a cunt because I said some mild criticism of Heavy Object, none of it even particularly directed at you doesn't really get to put on airs. And your continued driveby posts and inability to let it go don't demonstrate anything but your immaturity. This attitude is exactly what the community does not need.

Id rather SAO and Clannad be suggested than the default suggestions of TTGL and Cowboy Bebop and FMA...Some variety is nice. The "good" anime people suggest are always the same five dull titles, no variety, no "new" stuff. SAO is this generations FMA.

Sore Ga Seiyu-I mean Akiba's Trip episode 3
The Gonzo self-promotional show chugs through once again.
Was easily the weakest episode so far. Didn't really care much for idol shenanigans though the usage of that famous pool got a small chuckle out of me. Oh hey game character silhouettes on the UDX screen! Shizuku Tokikaze and not-Chie along with a few others.
Boy, it was cute when they had Sore Ga Seiyuu easter eggs, but donning the girls in the Sore Ga Seiyuu Live outfits/and even had Earphones themselves singing not only the opening theme, they ALSO had them singing the ending theme for this particular episode. It's....starting to seem a bit excessive, wouldn't you think?
It was as though the show's just one big walking marketing billboard trying to push the 3 girls of Earphones. If Chitose from Girlish Number was in their shoes, bet she would have said KATTA NA! GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
No seriously. I get that both Sore Ga Seiyuu and Akiba's Trip are being done by the same studio with the same three main voice talents, but if they toned down the self-masturbatory (oh hey we did this show before, let's throw in as many references as we can, bet the fans would love it) aspect of the show, it would have really been a more enjoyable ride.

Konosuba Season 2 02
This show is just the best! The first third and last third of the episode had me rolling. I was laughing way too hard for being in the middle of work.
The hell is wrong with suggesting Clannad? Or SAO for that matter? People have different tastes and opinions. If someone wants a romance/drama/slice of life show I am going to recommend Clannad among many other shows.
You may think they're bad, but that does not make the opinion of someone asking for something they haven't seen before. If you're that passionate about it then recommend people other shows when they ask, instead of demeaning what other people like.
That's why I usually ask people what they look for instead of right off the bat recommending my favorite shows. Or I ask what they have seen and liked in the past. You'll see my response differ depending on the person and what they're in the mood for.

No, you're right.
I imagine the references to Sore ga Seiyuu are motivated heavily by Hiroshi Ikehata specifically, since he directed both shows.
