SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE SEVEN: Temperature of the Heart

Whisper of the Heart this ain't. Her best work ever.

Kirito can be a major asshole sometimes. Test it out, he says.

Lisbeth is majorly into assholes though.

Dragon Poop Sword!

Better version of the climax.
 
Uh, no it's not.

The problem with Hirai faces is that every single character has the exact same face.



Meanwhile, GBF has characters that actually look different and distinct from one another!



You can't call Exodus a better show than Gundam Build Fighters when it has absolutely no diversity in the faces of its characters.

Sure I can agree that some face look similar but that pic is a little intense don't you think.

the kid in the bikini not freaking you out? it's freaking me out.

like

jesus christ

There are way more images than just that one.

yeah, but i hit my tolerance about .5 seconds in

Okay, so that was what you guys saw.

I guess I just saw it was a kid-ified version of Sonico's usual promotional appearance.
I'll agree that its not cool and is weird, though. Didn't think about it in a sexual context...

Maybe my tolerance of fucked up shit is way too high...

Yeah, it hit me really hard too , why does it always have to be the dammit... I serves as the backdrop for the entire series, so it was all important stuff and you will pick up on minor details of those scenes later. Really good writing in this one outside of a couple episodes later.
Yeah. It was supposed to be a romantic comedy, sports but I got really teary on the very first episode. Damn, she was such a sweet girl. She was already planning their future.

Yeah, like I get the joke they're going for, but... I mean... that costume is already weird on a huge busty high-schooler/uni student/however the fuck old fictionally sonico is. It's SUPER WEIRD on anyone younger than that.

I'm with you, I was confused at the reaction to it.

Edit: Oh, it's because I was looking at the wrong thing. I thought this was about the Tokyo Necro/Gakkou Gurashi thing.

SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE EIGHT: The Sword Dance of Black and White

Seriously? That's the title? You fooling me, mate?

Kirito pretended to be the main character from Dimension Ass and needled an SSS+++ class rabbit and gets Asuna to cook it up. Meanwhile her creepy ass bodyguard is following her around everywhere. Kirito eventually has enough and duels the jackass. Then they explore the dungeon.

I guess my thinking when I saw it was that they wanted to go for a more "family album from the beach trip" kinda vibe with the outfit.

I totally get where you guys are coming from though!

There's more to a show than character designs. That said I don't know how you can compare GBF to Exodus as they're fundamentally different types of shows.
 
Is Sword Art Online good? I heard many talking about it together with Attack on Titan and Psycho Pass. (are those good?)

No, no, and no is the general consensus here for those shows.

I understand that. I was mainly responding to someone's claim that Exodus was somehow better than GBF using its character designs as an example.

This.... might not be the best place to ask that tbh.

Attack on Titan is good, but expect the pacing to slow down a LOT on the latter half. First half is much better. A lot of posters here don't like it.

Psycho Pass season 1 is rather well liked. Season 2 is considered crap

If you watch sword art online, I recommend only watching the first 15 episodes. The rest has... problems to say the least

sword art online is 80% boring, 15% utter irredeemable garbage, and about 5% vaguely interesting ideas bungled on.

AoT is great concept and world, a few interesting characters here and there, and half as good execution as you'd like half the time.

Psycho Pass is baby's first Philip K Dick novel with really cool guns
I'm kidding, I haven't actually watched this yet

Assuming you're asking a genuine question they're some of the most divisive anime in GAF. I say they're all worth a watch at the very least.

I enjoy all of them and even own two of the three on blu ray.

Being Psycho Pass S1 fan is suffering in here.

Psycho-Pass is great, Attack on Titan anime ends about 10 or so chapters before the manga stops being good but is a bit weirdly paced and the last arc is messy, Sword Art Online is not good.

Are there any good new comedy/slice of life anime in the vein of Umaru, Nisekoi, Amagi Brilliant Park or My Love Story!! this year?

SAO is really good especially second half as Kawahara (the source writer) really evolved as a writer and opened his world up to many possibilities. He continues to improve. And Kirito is one of the most amazing lead characters you will ever encounter. I would also suggest Accel World as it is a fantastic modern anime with unique blend of actiony MMO battle with science fiction elements and stunning music (onoken and mintjam are such good music composers).

Attack on Titan (Shingeki) is pretty good too though it has pacing issues and the writing is at times bordering on Bad Writing which is unfortunate as many other writes have caught the Bad Writing disease from him. Sawano delivers another soundtrack that one has to question is really anime level as it surpasses all expectations of anime osts like many before it. Shingeki can be good at times, spectacular at others, and aggravating as well.

Hm, I didn't follow the anime thread in Gaf. Didn't know about those being so divisive here. Maybe I'll give them a try someday.

Oh, that turned out differently, it's still sad but for a different reason now.

SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE NINE: The Blue-Eyed Demon

Run away! Run away!

Also Asuna is way more attentive than anyone else in this damn show. She knows Kirito is hiding something not using a shield or the dragon poop sword. A wild Klein appeared! What's Kirito doing with a g-g-g-g-girl?

Eh, I do think the Hiraiface in Exodus was less of an issue compared to Hiraiface shows made over 10 years ago. A lot improved in terms of character art and animation. While the designs are still obviously Hirai's, it doesn't really drag down in Exodus like it did in the original series. But I am pretty biased in that the show itself was good enough that the character designs weren't enough of an issue to lower the quality.

Then again, you also can't really call a show worse than another when your main criticism of the show you haven't seen is the character designs of another show by the same artist.

Well...I found it mostly enjoyable. AoT I dropped after maybe 5 episodes and haven't watched Psychopass. The second arc is really poor though.

Good episode and awesome battle.

SAO is definitely wortha watch and one of my all time favs. It's best to watch for yourself and decide how you feel about it. It will get no love here though, lol.


Kirito x Asuna 4 life baby!

SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE TEN: Crimson Killing Intent

The premise of this duel is the dumbest shit ever. She could, you know, just leave the fucking guild. Or Kirito could just, you know, ignore their dumb order. Also hey Kayaba, maybe giving yourself INVINCIBILITY AND AN ATTACK BUFF as your unique ability is a bit...suspicious. Oh and FREEZING TIME in the duel. Why are you helping the top guild clear these floors? Your god sim will only last another year or two at this rate.

Kirito looks awful in the guild colors. Oh hey, crazy bodyguard is LAUGHING KOFFING. Good Girl Asuna saves the day...but Kirito can't let anyone else get the win. SHINING FINGER! Did he...just propose to her? What is going on? Shared inventory space?!?

still can't decide for myself if i like hyouka or sound eupho more. the orchestra nerd in me (not quite the same but similar dynamics) is probably more into eupho.

also I like reina way more than chitanda. 'tanda's alright but she is nowhere near as fucking hot fire as reina.

protags are about on par tho

SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE ELEVEN: The Girl of Morning Dew

Hey remember the primary conflict last episode of Asuna wanting to take a break? Well a day later and Heathcliff doesn't give a shit! Who cares about that though as they're married with a big ass house. You know what this means.

It's Yui time! U. I. Get it? Also Asuna beats on some scrubs and Yui has a mental breakdown.

Planetes ep.20-22
Hachi pisses me off with him pure selfishness. I realize that at its heart, it's about a man going after his dreams, but is it really? He is being a complete dick and won't even be honest with himself. It was a pretty emotional scene back at the hospital though. . Only a few episodes left now..
