Nah. You just gotta know your way around by knowing the shortcuts.

See, I don't even know if it's all that "fun".
Out of GJ, Seitokai no Ichizon (which CR is streaming now, so I guess it's technically new), and Haganai, I feel like it's a three way tie for boredom.
But, GJ already did their lesbian molestation joke, so I guess that's leading so far?
Then again, I suppose Haganai at least has the best characters (minus Yozora).
It's true. It taps into a horrible psychology of the sadlife nerd and reinforces it.
It goes beyond the harem though. I mean, there's a thin line between The Last Starfighter, The Wizard, Wargames and SAO. They are technically all teen power fantasies, but at least the three movies about nerds are all forward and outward looking. Even Jimmy, who is literally a savant at all things Nintendo, has the ultimate goal of going to "Califooooooooornia". Kirito's goal is to live in a fucking video game for the rest of his life.
There have been a few explanations already, but really it's just...
Strike Witches 3.
Well, I think it's going to be Strike Witches x Madoka, but close enough. lol

Sasami 2
So, I take it that one of the Nisemonogatari directors is also working on this show?
Anyway, assuming that this isn't a random pull:
(Although I don't know why they couldn't just use the legit cover)
Then the show makes so much more sense than it did even before the long ass infodump that served as the prologue to this episode. Sasami = Janet, brother = Brad. Right?

Posts Per Page don't even matter. This makes it so much easier to catch up on a thread.
Also you're already dead.
Well, its a really really shitty primetime show, if at that.
That rating's better than a noontime show or random 11pm show for example.

Except it isn't. I think your hatred is getting the better of you honestly and has been for the past.... long while.
If you're going to air something at that time, it better be trash I guess.
Wonder what the sales for this show will be like. rofl.

But it is. Only in this world would they go back to playing games the moment a national crisis involving games ends.
Imagine if every single plane in the sky suddenly crashed. Would anyone be willing to fly the next day?
It'll be very good. Probably the best this season.
I was going to give the show another chance and rescue it from the Dropped list, but now I won't even bother.
Thank you.

Use autopager...
Made my life so much easier. Just keep scrolling down until your reading speed catches up to GAF's posting speed.
Well it is a pretty crappy season.
Ugh. Rofl i guess....
Okay, I see. I was going by the ratings in this Animesuki thread which has Magi at higher than 4%. I don't know whether it's a prime-time slot though, nor do I really keep up with ratings too often, so I don't really know the context of some of the information posted there.
Except that's not really a sound analogy though. Only one game caused that problem and since then they released a new technology the prevents such a problem.
And you avoided my point with your post. Kirito's main goal isn't to live in the virtual world. I think it's fine if you hate the show. However, blowing things out of exaggeration and saying untrue stuff is sort of.... offputting.

It is. That's how the character begins the series and the entire SAO arc justifies his existence. Even the stupid Batman stuff is a part of that pyschology.
Tamako will beat it goddamit.
But that's not how he ends up. Sure he escapes the real world and lives in the game world initially but his goal at the end isn't to live in the game world. He just acknowledges that the two worlds are both the same reality to him. That's all. If anything, his goal is to be with his waifu. Not live in the game world.
Magi airs in the Gundam/Code Geass timeslot of Sundays at 5:30 pm on TBS. Considering the channel involved and the timeslot, its probably the best anime timeslot there is. (One Piece, Toriko, Pretty Cure, Pokemon etc all air weekend mornings).
Legit primetime is 7-11pm everyday and no anime will ever air in that timeslot unless its, like, a movie. For reference, the last time My Neighbor Totoro was shown on TV, it aired on a Friday at 9 PM and got an incredible 18.3% rating.

This show is so goddamn bipolar. It may not be Higurashi-tier, but it's jarring all the same, albeit in a good way.
It's still pretty refreshing, and the fact the mood whiplashy nature of it makes a happy ending (or stopping point I suppose) possible is pretty nice. Definitely surprise of the season.

Yes, a waifu he only meets by playing a video game! Come on man!

Just thinking about how much money went down the drain from all those f22 (or 23s?) getting blown up makes my wallet cringe.
tax raise for sure :S

It's too early to really tell but it'll probably do Hyouka numbers at this rate.
This is good. I hope this is the case.
Ah, okay. It seems like I mixed up terms due my ignorance about ratings and timeslots. Thanks for clearing that up.
Actually... now that you put it this way. This sounds like AnimeGAF.
As Branduil already said, be sure to watch the bridging OVA before starting S2.
We're not as bodacious though.
Aww, I hope it pulls off Chuunibyou numbers at least.

Congrats for finally having some action.

It's a new short included in the BD-Box.

I try!
I'll take new Bebop in whatever form I can.
I doubt that.
I am only watching during my study breaks so it will take at least one more week to finish this but really, I love fantasy/RPG-like settings anime and this started great.
Now I am not sure how to feel about all of this.
Probably closer to Hyouka numbers.
