Also good sound. I like the sound they use a lot in action scenes, and the fight music is great.

An actual S2 would take a while, not that much left of the manga to adapt, need new chapters. I think there are some more OVA:s coming out though.

Yes, and not at all, and yes.

ok, I see and will keep that in mind, thanks.

Many people, myself included, were very cynical about Log Horizon before it aired, thinking it would be a SAO rehash, but Log Horizon has proven otherwise. It has had an extremely heavy emphasis on the actual world, intergame politics, and lots of actual MMO gameplay stuff being incorporated. How good it actually handles these is another story, but at least this was the stuff that I'd say Log Horizon is actually "about". SAO on the other hand starts off with "THIS IS A DEATH GAME SO SRS", stuffs about 6 episodes worth of pace-murdering side stories into the very beginning, and then becomes a wish-fulfillment harem, with the MC just God-Moding almost everything he fights because he just so happens to be the only person with a game-breaking skill. And then like haflway through it just tosses out the entire "death game" concept in favor of rescuing his dutchwife from a lunatic who decided to trap her inside of another MMO (complete with his notuimouto tagging along this time around). So they are pretty radically different in everything beyond "stuck in MMO".


We did get stuff like this out of SAO, so I guess it wasn't a completely lost cause:

Thats right, I forgot about sound. That tuning sound is excellent.

The 2nd part is fine, just people hating it because it took place in a different place and different circumstances, I thought the show was kind of bad from the beginning. Too harem in my opinion to be any good, maybe because I spent too many years playing mmo's but the whole "MMO HERO" that they show there and that every girl falls for is ridiculous. People can't just solo entire raids just because they're cool, which is why I enjoy Log Horizon a lot more. If you watch it, just keeping in mind it's a love story between the idiotic "mmo hero" I just mentioned, and that pink haired girl and you'll like it, outside of that the show it's not very good at all.

Edit: Found a youtube vid of one. Very naisu~

The only pink haired girl doesn't even have a shot at the MC lulz. And it was preeetty bad but that whole part of the LN was pretty shit so not much they could do with the adaption.

thanks! Will keep these in mind as I start watching SAO. If part 2 becomes as bizzare as what's written or totally different to the point where I dislike it, then I will probably stop. Maybe it'll be the first show other than Tokyo Raven that I don't want to watch XD

Its not bizarre, its just simply bad.

Also, when someone says the main girl in SAO has pink hair, that should be a huge red flag to take that person's opinion with a grain of salt.

Maybe he is just colorblind like Uta. Maybe.

To be honest, ALO and GGO were fine, if SAO didn't exist. They won't be anything great on their own, but at least they'd make infinitely more sense as a story if they weren't a continuation of SAO. All the problems really just boil down to that instead of elaborating on something that has plenty of room for additional details, the milking was done by randomly continuing a story that by all rights should have ended. Which is why Progressive exists as a thing.

@bolded that can still be subjective in some cases

well, I dunno who the main girl is and not sure when he last watched it. Point was to thank you both for more information about SAO. I gotta watch it firsthand before I pass judgement on just how bad it is.

Anyone watched Gunslinger? Sounds like quite the anime to watch. Short and looks at the psychological aspect. I think it can be quite the anime but I'm hoping they did a good job exploring the psychological aspect. Graphics seem a bit whitish lol. Thoughts?

Robot Girls Z PV and Episode 00 are subbed now. Still looking forward to when the actual stuff starts. 10 minute shorts are twice as long as 5 minute shorts!

To be honest I didnt find sao that bad. Sure the 2nd half wasnt good and for me it was mehhh same stuff... Everything that i would like to argue with has been said already.. uh so yeah..
can't guess much from that vid but im pretty sure they wont be using this is a death game thingy again. Not sure if ill watch it cus trying to remake what has been already done wont good well ( at least i havent found something like that yet, but who am I to talk)
ahhh tentacle stuff goddamnit I hate those things so much in anything that they do show up... T_T

I'm almost surprised I finished enough shows to make any semblance of a list. Lots of shows I enjoyed but not too much I considered amazing.

Top Anime 2013: Chihayafuru 2 and Uchoten Kazoku stood out the most looking back

Most Overrated Anime: Somehow for me Shingeki no Kyojin got so much hate I can't even considered it most overrated anymore. Probably kill la kill then.

Biggest Suprise: Log Horizon/Outbreak company
Didn't have particularly high expectations going into either, turning out decent so far. To be honest, I have no clue why I'm enjoying log horizon considering it feels like a 13 episode long info dump, but w/e, can't explain away my enjoyment.

Guilty Pleasure: Puchim@s
Even if it looks like flash animations from 2000, I love the source material and seiyuus anyways.

I have some fond-ish memories of at least the SAO part of SAO, and the the first 3 episodes and the crime within the walls left a good impression before I realised later that everything before getting the ragout rabbit was filler. If SAO had ended on ep14 and I remained ignorant of everything to come I'd rate it so much more.

But since then I've watched a lot more anime and realised SAO animation was nothing special nor the story edgy after the initial attempt..
