I realise that it's just probably going to get worse from here so I'm just going to leave it there. Why did such a cool concept have to be wasted on such mediocrity?

I still haven't seen SAO 2, but the villains never felt good.

Wings of Fire 11-20-2014 02:43 PM

The villain of the first half is basically Oberon again. The villains of Accel World are all rapey entitled men too. Kawahara cannot write good villains.

Nepsotic 11-20-2014 04:06 PM

Nor good protagonists apparently.

Wings of Fire 11-20-2014 04:32 PM

Log Horizon uses the same basic premise as SAO. The start is a bit slow and the production itself isn't as polished (Though I'd argue with a weaker composer they actually get the better tracks out) but it's a really good fun story with very likeable characters. Recommended.



Everyone loves the OP too.

Also the second half of SAO S2 is just Asuna having slighly gay adventures with a cute spunky girl who is blind, bedridden and dying from congenital HIV offline and I don't hate that premise. The OP is adorable as heck and while I'd never dream of recommending SAO to anyone ever (The first half of S2 was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with anime) it may be worth my time yet!

I used to watch a lot of animes including Bleach, Elfen Lied, Death Note and One Piece. The animes I've watched all the way through are Full Metal Alchemist, Dragonball Z and I'm currently watching Naruto Shippuden. Recently I also watched all of Hakuoki which is a series based on a visual novel videogame. I watch most of them on Crunchyroll now, mainly for convenience.

So I am thinking of doing madoka magika for my next anime, thoughts ?

Nepsotic 11-28-2014 05:50 AM

I couldn't get into Madoka but I have been meaning to give it a rewatch. I'd say go for it.
I watched the first two episodes of Black Butler. They good.

Madoka is a very good show. Go into it as blind as you possibly can. You do not want a heads up on what is going to happen.

Phylum 11-28-2014 05:02 PM

I hate magical girl shows and I enjoyed Madoka. Just don't ever watch the newest movie.

Wings of Fire 11-28-2014 05:08 PM

Phylum really lost his head over it.

Nepsotic 11-28-2014 05:18 PM

And now it's in his avatar, with the same expression it wore as it watched the film.

Phylum 11-28-2014 06:14 PM

It's surprisingly accurate for my face during the last 2/3rds.

Wings of Fire 11-28-2014 06:31 PM

I watched Attack On Titan in the summer and found it an incredibly enjoyable experience. Call it over hyped, call it what you will, but sometimes good things are just good things. And I'm quite excited if also a little anxious to see the direction the movie takes

Oh and Scarlett Johanssen is set to star in a live action Ghost In The Shell movie, so I guess that's something to look out for. Here's hoping it turns out to be atleast somewhat decent, as anime to live action films have never been done to any great quality.

People like Speed Racer, but GITS movie will be terrible.

I am people, in this case. But it's definitely a niche movie that not everyone will like.
