TheBatman - Sure there was a murder in this episode... but eh, this was more fun to draw
You totally picked the best scene from the episode. Well done.

Oh snap. I genuinely did not notice Excalibur in the One Piece pic. Bravo to you, SAB.

Awesome sketches
And Chapter 16.5....it's a work of art
As for my thoughts on the episodes that aired while my Internet was down...
IGPX: Great, another show tonight with lots of flashbacks
Clone Wars: Not half bad
Big O: Dorothy ;_;
Brotherhood: Of course it was great
And Chapter 16.5....it's a work of art
I think it gave me a boner XD

Can't believe I clicked on that link.
That narration, just......what a way to wake up and discover what the thread's been up to while I was asleep.
& hot damn, that SAO miiverse sketch. Hilarious.
Now to watch FMA Brotherhood.
Edit: I think it might please some people to know that the Dengeki Fighting Climax game confirmed to have Shizuo from Durarara as a playable character...meaning you can make him fight Asuna.

Good morning ToonamiGaf

That SAO video narration is killing. Too early in the morning for this shit.

This is completely random and off-topic, but I just saw this on XDA. Anyone know where this gif is from? It's not Scott Pilgrim is it? I don't think it warrants a thread, and I might as well ask while I'm in here.
I dunno where it's from but it looks like it was done by Paul Robertson who is well known for his pixel art and animations. Hopefully that helps with your search.

Unfortunately my dish was on the fritz last night so I have to catch up on Big O and Brotherhood today.
Just wait until the second season. When you arrive that point, it retroactively makes the first season decent.
And I finally subbed to this thread. I have meant to do this for a long time, but I never got around to it until now.
Funny enough I made it to the first episode of season 2. It was so stupid I dropped the show.
Good morning.
I was going to make a more substantial post about why Sword Art Online is a piece of junk, but I realize it's basically the same things I wrote up a few weeks back. This week introduced the main character selfishly whining about a tragic event being his fault, when there's no reason at all for blame to be put on him - something that is far too common in terrible main characters.
Valvrave is still worse.
Also, despite my personal reactions and however you want to interpret them, the episode wasn't as terrible as you guys made it sound. It was still pretty darn terrible, of course.

Last night's episode of SAO wasn't too bad in all honesty. It wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but people hyped it up way too much. Really, the most shocking part of the episode, the sex scene, was censored out. That by far got the most amount of negative reactions out of people but they had to read chapter 16.5 on their own to fill in the missing gap of episode 10.
For the people that constantly complain about the way females are portrayed in SAO, Asuna actually came to rescue the all powerful waifu-magnet Kirito this time so I guess that's progress. Yes he was dumb for drinking from the flask but come on guys, it's anime. The show would be boring without some sort of conflict and that was just the trigger.
Last night was 10

I'd also like to say it was nice seeing some positive reaction to Bleach for the first time in a long time! This filler arc is actually pretty darn good (well, for the most part) and sports an actual budget so the animation won't be crap. I am sad to see the old opening go but the new one is alright. The real gem here though is the ending theme:

I think the one thing we can all agree on when it comes to Bleach is that the music is generally really good.

If only everyone could just head firehawk12's advice regarding Sword Art Online - http://shitotakusay.com/post/43518816739
Well he is right.
As someone who has finished SAO and Dexter, I can say that my tolerance for stupid is higher than I previously thought. It may also have to do with my irrational need for closure for TV series, even the terrible ones, that pushes my onward through all the sewage.
I'm also typing this with that reading of 16.5 in the background and it is haunting yet hilarious.

Amazing again this week, Bleach one was my favorite
As someone who missed whatever hype was leading up to it, that episode of SAO was straight up garbage.
- I actually don't have a problem with Kirito not realizing it was a trap. It was obvious to us because we're genre-savvy viewers, but Kirito didn't have much reason to doubt dude.
What I do have a problem with is the stupidity needed to facilitate that situation. Why give all your healing and teleport crystals to one person? Even in a normal game where your life isn't on the line, that's a stupid idea. That only happened because the writer wanted the whole poisoning thing to go down rather than, you know, writing a better scenario.
- The change to Asuna's rescue was dumb. The girl was having a real hero moment, but the anime just couldn't beat to not let almighty Kirito save everyone and be awesome and SHINING FINGER.
- Did Kirito and Asuna forget that people who die in SAO also die in real life? Cause if not, they must understand they just murdered a guy. You'd think they would talk about this and the affect it has on them, but nope. They hardly care. Instead, it's time to make romantic proclamations and spend the rest of the episode being cute and in love and having onscreen sex. It's not only a disorienting shift in tone, but the lack of acknowledging that a man is dead because of them makes our heroes look like bastards.
- The pacing is still awful. At the start of the episode, Kirito and Asuna can barely bring themselves to hug. By the end, they're talking about marriage. That's way too fast and makes the relationship feel unnatural.
There's probably some other stuff, but I'm tired. Bottom line is, show is ass.

Toonami GAF is collectively blocking episode 10 from their minds
We know the answer to this, we can never forget the answer to this, even if it takes two years.

Why would Kirito care about killing some douche that just murdered someone in front of him and then tried to take his life? Not everyone has some traumatic breakdown after defending themselves so that criticism is a bit of a reach. I haven't read the light novels but maybe they touch on it there, why waste time and budget listening to the two main characters talk about how they "feel" after doing what needed to be done to a villain?
Also, the show uses a lot of timeskips. I'm not exactly sure how much time passed in-between the duel and sex scene. Maybe someone else could elaborate.

Sooooooo I couldn't stay awake for SAO and watched it this morning.
I was in tears laughing (same as when I listened to the 16.5 link above). Somehow worse than Twilight. I don't know how the VAs kept a straight face during that.
Seriously, "I'm going to get naked right in front of you in the living room but DON'T LOOK"?
I like how he lost a hand, but grew it back too.
Oh SAB CA excellent work as always.
