Space Dandy - S2 E4

Damn. That was a pretty good episode. Season 2 has been pretty good so far. For this episode I also watched the singing parts in Japanese. I gotta say, the English version was adapted well.

So I decided to finally watch Sword Art Online due to all the hype around it. I'm in S1E8, and I don't get it. Interesting things only happen once every 2-3 episodes, there is no sense of urgency to the plot and the characters are very... "vanilla"? The "stuck in a MMO" premise isn't being expanded upon a lot either, mostly it plays out like a standard fantasy setting.

Am I doing it wrong? Does it get better?

You did wrong by watching SAO in the first place. It's not a good show and the "hype' around it is horribly misplaced.

No Game No Life 1

Well, that was an interesting intro. I expected another typical MMO game, but it seems like it is taking a slightly different approach. And the sibling relationship is certainly...well, it's still less creepy than Kirito and Suguha.

Dude just watch Log Horizon a much better stuck in a MMO premise. It's pretty much a better version of SAO. That deals with world building, politics, and character development in a nice fashion.

The nipple doesn't attack.


It stalks. It hunts. Don't cross the nipple. But don't fear it either. Baby don't fear the nipple

I'm afraid boys. I just played 18 holes of golf, they should make a good golf anime. I doubt it's possibly.

The sibling relationship is alright compared to Suguha. There are some weird things later on that if you can ignore as shameless fanservice you will love the show. Aka beautiful things.
 
I dont remember there being any sense of urgency in Log Horizon.

Yeah it didn't have that cause it took a different route. The players took advantage of the situation by developing their life's in the MMO, without having that sense of urgency. Basically about their daily life in the MMO and rebuilding the way they live. Opposite of what SAO focused on. But still it has that premise whether the atmosphere doesn't contain that sense of urgency.
 
I posted this is another thread, but I guess this is the appropriate thread:

I watched Garden of Words as per GAF's recommendation in this thread. The animation was beautiful and the art was incredible. Some great...atmosphere, if you will. The story didn't blow me away or anything though, but it was very grounded which was fine too.

Is there anything by the same director or studio that people would recommend? That was seriously some of the most eye-pleasing animation I've ever seen.

I'm sure I'm late, but it feels like Terror in Resonance has become way more Fukishima-ish in the last episode. Although I suppose corrupt bureaucrats wanting to protect their own turf is a universal constant.

Chariot has marked you. Rejoice!


I'm so jealous I wish Chariot-sama would mark me...

it was only a matter of time until sinon visited his avatar, im not sure if this is what i wanted it to be like.

The unexpected side - effect of the post races.

Cajun is now the harem lead that everyone want a hold on!

we are racing for posts?

can't wait for TUSR and Chariot to start hacking each other's accounts to try and get the other one banned

i know what i would do.

I posted this is another thread, but I guess this is the appropriate thread:

Thats a very apt description of Garden of Words, I finally got around to watching it last night and it was pretty... Wolf Children.

Everything is alright compared to Suguha. My favorite aspect of the show is easily the art. My eyes are super happy about that component.

Mikoshiba definitely steal the whole episode this week with Nozaki coming in second for pretending to be a girl.

I finally watched something about Ginga Eyu- er, Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars , which should be the prequel to the actual 110 episodes series. I have to start that someday.

anyway, that movie was great. I wanted to complain about a couple of things in the last battle but whatever, I'm not going to. I'm sure Urobuchi could learn something from the series.

the hype is probably there for the people that like that kind of trash. "show is awful but I want more" - or something. otherwise, no idea.
