This show is.... weird. It's not good but it's not bad either. The pacing is shit though.
That anime could've been so much more if it wanted it to be. Could've easily have been Kimo no Iru Machine tier. Makes me sad it didn't go that route

No Game No Life 2

I'm sorry, Sora, but that's not how brothers handle their sisters. Still. At least he admits there is a line concerning banging his sister. Banging siblings will always be super awkward *cough* Suguha *cough*.

The level of eechi is a lot lower than I expected.
It gets higher don't worry.

That feels like the end of that arc.

I like how the solution to the dilemma Shiroe faced was established by some of the earlier events. By being so thorough, the show was able to portray something that'd seem almost like a deus ex machina in a way that felt properly earned. The idea of
creating an adventurer's contract
was something that Shiroe could only do as a result of his own hard work, and the specific information he possessed.

Could be a real game-changer, though I doubt it'll come up again for a while.

I'm glad we're being shown another side of Crusty in battle, because it provides a sort of vulnerability that had to be there if his relationship with Lenessia was going to develop.

My understanding is that the show will not be as exciting again for the rest of its run.
 
Gurren Lagann - 25

At the start of this show I wanted Simon and Yoko to get together. After Kamina died I came to my senses and thought Yoko and Kamina were a perfect match, but Kamina was dead so it couldn't happen. After Nia was introduced I wanted Yoko and Simon to be together, again, but Simon and Nia became a thing :( I have always disliked Kittan throughout the show, and seeing him take an interest in Yoko in the past few episodes has been aggrivating. But...

in episodes 25 I felt it was okay for Yoko and Kittan to be a pair. But, like Yoko's last love, Kittan died in battle. Now if only Simon would ditch Nia and get with Yoko, but that isn't going to happen. It is said to see Yoko end up lonely, but she may somehow be with someone within the next two episodes.

This show has been pretty good. It is sad to see it end, especially when the ending song is very good (reminds me of the original Naruto for some reason). Are the movies any good?

YOKO

You Only Kiss Once

Also yes, the movies are worth it. Especially the second one for it's amazing final battle.

I haven't watched this show myself but apparently it gets super contrived later on with it's drama.

I was actually dreading this one after the preview as it seemed excessively melodramatic. It delivered on a really nice character piece for Taiki which surprised me as he's been rather unlikable thus far.

Umm, the show is pretty much alright. Kaga Kouko is literally the only thing I liked about it but people hate her too. So its still a fucking toss up.

Its up and down but the show itself was AOTS for me.

It seems our man Tatsuya is gonna go ham on Saturday. And by looking at his get-up he ain't messing around.

Onii-sama is so amazing, he skips out on drinking with his harem to go fuck up some people that want to hurt his only love in the world.

No worries. It falls apart even more as it goes along.

Its not nearly as bad as some were making it out to be. Theres a scene here and there overall but it really isnt THAT kind of show. Anime has gone way more overboard before.

Listen to Cajun-senpai.
 
New month soon. Time to consider a new avatar.

I envy you. I'm so lazy that it often takes me several years to muster up the effort to change my avatar. I think I've had like 4 or 5 avatars in my entire GAF history.


And goddamn this thread was active for a Monday with nothing of note airing.

I was honestly expecting Queen's Blade level of eechi.

Its up and down but the show itself was AOTS for me.

I would be marathoning it if it wasn't for me blowing through the One Piece manga and watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I am really liking it so far.

Oh dear god my heart.

Did anyone webm that scene when she pushes him in the water and then jumps in herself? That was precious.
I watched it like 5 times.

It's probably my favorite anime this season. I felt in love the moment I saw Naru Kotoishi.

The CG was especially bad in this one. But that's understandable since there's so much going on, on screen. My only question is, how did Xin climb that huge wall with only 2 jumps? What's in those legs of his?
 
I'm sure the game has changed a ton over the years (so have UO and Everquest), but the world-scale map seemed like the big selling point. I can't imagine it not being there at the start.
The big world map was there at the start , this is confirmed.
The game was build on the half-gaia project and that project goal was to make a full world map ( even if it wasn't at the right size , but it's still pretty big )
I hadn't thought about how the release of a new expansion might have affected things in terms of new players.
It's classic really. No way a game of the scale can be revelant enough to keep old player going and still get newcomers except with expansions and patches. If you recall in ep 1 , shiroe mentions to naotsugu that the apocalypse happenned and that they were back after a break because of the expansion that was released.
As for the cliché comment, I was referring to how Minori's party of adventurers talk about saving the town, not about Lenessia's plan.
I was actually talking about that.
Minory perfectly understands shiroe POV that is that the people of the land must be protected if the need arise since they are the world original inhabitants. letting them die would be unnacceptable because they have the power to do something and because they are humans.

was something that Shiroe could only do as a result of his own hard work, and the specific information he possessed.
That's why log horizon actually is good in his world building...there wasn't anything unnecessary in the exposition provided and everything had a pay-off .
Also it's not something that just appeared as an obvious solution , it was a search for the right idea, and a logical conclusion that brought this result
Could be a real game-changer, though I doubt it'll come up again for a while.
No this is a real game changer, see how food changed the entire status quo, it's obvious this is as huge , if not bigger. i mean the merchant proved that creating something that didn't exist before was possible as items , but
altering the rules ? the very rules of the world ? if that's not a game changer i don't know what this is. Shiroe prevented rudy from dying and gave him adventurer powers ..you cannot do more gamechanger than that.

You might get surprised by what this show still has in store for you :)

Watch it for Kaga. Otherwise you'll only be hurting yourself.

Don't say things you'll regret.

I at least enjoyed SAO's stupid. I can't handle the dumb drama in this show. It takes itself waaaaaay too seriously. I also never hated a female protag so much before. This is by far the worst female protag I've ever seen in my life.

I want to watch Doremi myself, but something that long requires planning and the knowledge that anything else in my backlog won't be able to be dealt with for a little while.

Well this came out of nowhere. Shes got some evil inside her doesnt she?

Kou is still a dick. And were 4 episodes in, where is that damn cat?

Sorry dude but it's clear that Linda is better than Kaga. Also, every male protag makes a better female protag than Kaga. She's by far the worst female protag. EVER.
