I'm just going to do what I did last season and that was pick up the shows that got most traffic here, but I was wondering how do you guys go about picking stuff to watch? By studio/source?
1) What is Uta watching
2) Watch everything that sounds interesting.
3) Watch everything that doesn't sound interesting, because the plot synopsis is always terrible.

I'm slowly savouring Non Non Biyori. That link made me lose it though, even though I knew what to expect.

A wide variety of characters, interesting bosses, plenty of fights etc... The story was also explained clearly from the start and while saddening, the anime wasn't afraid to kill off some characters.

You have no clue how much I was waiting for Kirito and Leafa to find out they are related to see how it gets handled so it was nice to see them not avoid it when it becomes obvious. They could've possibly used a couple more episodes to give us a better view of Alfheim Online but on second thought, it might've been excessive. I also liked that they actually had Kirito and Sugo have a final showdown and that Kirito didn't drop to Sugo's level and instead left him alive and went to see Asuna. Also, I was really glad that Yui wasn't forgotten about and came back to reunite wit Kirito and Asuna. Showing them surviving and being together after all the trouble they had was heartwarming  I'm excited for SAO II! :D Wait what ! you actually liked SAO ? well its not that bad the first 6 episodes and if you liked it i actually think that the couple screwed up the show..oh well SAO is one of those HIT or MISS shows .. either you hate it or like it
+ Show Spoiler +well, the second half did seem a bit more dramatic in a way even though they were dying in first but it was a release so to speak compared to second where no death but Asuna is stuck there forever. If you've spent a long time with someone developing a relationship, loving them and fighting to protect them and they also got married in SAO, then it makes sense as to why all those emotions are there and they are your drive to save them which is why that's the only thing Kirito was thinking about. Honestly, I can't blame him. I'm sure I would do the same thing if I was put in that position and those circumstances. I think the second part could've been done a bit better story wise. Maybe give more background and allow another week or two for the wedding so that Kirito has more time but maybe they had reasons for the shorter duration like episode amounts. Either way, I didn't mind it once I got around the change from SAO to Alfheim online Maybe it is, I dunno. I just enjoyed it. They could've even had a part 3 where they explored their lives after Alfheim online; how their relationship developed and they adjusted to the real world. Maybe expand on the cousin loves him part even though it seems obvious Asuna won and have him deal with Lisban's jealousy rofl

I think BigFan just pretty much has a high tolerance for almost everything. I have yet to see an anime he hasn't liked.

Yeah i know the relationship stuff was supposed to be the wonders and the good stuff of SAO but i still think it was a big mistake to follow that kind of routine. It was kinda lame to what the series could have been. Anyways if you really liked it then its fine.

School Days. No ?

Seriously BigFan you start watching School Days right now and you finish it. Treat this as a scientific experiment.
You like those romance anime's anyways, right? Plenty of romance in School Days.
|
Weak people bitching about School Days without playing the game and Cross Days, pls.
|
If he likes School Days then he will like anything. I think that SD is the complete opposite of what he likes though so I am somewhat curious to see his reaction to it loool.

I like almost every thing I watch :x
