Are you saying GGO or whatever it's abbreviated (volume 5 I think?) is worth reading? Not really. I think GGO is better than ALO in that + Show Spoiler +it doesn't have that retarded plot of "freeing your girl friend who had her brain trapped inside of an MMO with your sister who isn't really your sister and has romantic feelings for you". But that still doesn't really make it good. My opinion on SAO is that the fights are pretty good, and the less plot an arc has has, the better it is (since the plot post-volume 1 are almost always retarded, with only a few exceptions). So might as well wait for a second anime to get the green light, and just watch the light sabers when they get animated.

That or skip to Vol 9/10.
It's pretty good! I think anyway. Actually has a decent storyline, however generic.

I thought GGO was decent for what it was. I have yet to move past it, though (I think vol 7 is the next one for me, but reading the prologue deterred me). Of course, that doesn't make SAO any good over all. There are plenty of much better things to be wasting time with >.<

About to start reading Saya no Uta. This is gonna be interesting. One quck question though, is it linear like MLA, or does it have different routes/bad ends, etc?

There are three endings. I wouldn't really call them separate routes though.

I wonder what happens after the Russia arc. Please give me more of that Chinese eishi. She seems cool.

+ Show Spoiler +Hope it isnt another boring snoozefest like Hyouka. Though I guess that will be hard, as this doesn't have Chitanda in it.

The novel pays alot homage to Haruhi, but nowhere near as good.
I can't figure out why KyoAni would do this series (well, besides that they own the LN)

K-On and Nichijou I totally get, that's right in KyoAni's wheelhouse of slice of life comedy manga into cheap moe series.
KyoAni seems to have 3 project type:
All out series: Air, Kanon, Clannad, TSR Innovative series: Fumoffu, SHnY Low budget moe series: K-On, Nichijou
Lucky Star (and Munto) kinda fall between 2nd and 3rd type.
But Hyouka doesn't really fall into any of these. If I have to categorize it, it would be "pretty generic series albeit with high animation quality". We will see where Chuunibyou falls into.

I thought Hyouka captured boringness quite well. The quality for the last 6 months has seemed so low to me that I didn't even mind it.

Finished Gosick.
The first episodes were very interesting. But it kind of fell apart by the end

So SD Gundam Generation Over World released recently and it has the interesting feature of letting you pick any BGM for any character in Gundam. You just need to load the 44khz mp3 into the PSP and voila, the game lets you pick it and plays the music while your pilot is shooting lasers. Does anyone have any suggestions for combinations of "Any character from the Gundam multiverse." + "Any song that can be an mp3." ?
So far I've got a couple from Caller including:
Amuro Rei and + Show Spoiler +
Char Aznable and + Show Spoiler +
Yazan Gable and + Show Spoiler +

Written as 中二病 read as Nagisama. Why would you not animate such a great story of the very popular and lovable Nagi?

Do we already know what will be the top Anime series of 2012? I was looking at the past list - 2011, 2010 and even 2009. I've seen a bunch of the shows 
EDIT : Also, I know I've read that guilty crown was supposed to be bad. Now I'm reading that its supposed to be good. Who's right?
