Railgun would be better if it wasn't for Uiharu and SoL fillers.

The fillers are the only thing keeping it devolving into Index-style "bump into stranger and save the world" plot jumping.

Plus it's nice having the closure arcs for the loose ends in Radio Noise and Sisters.

Eh, Season 1 was decent enough to capture some interest. Season 2 is just total garbage.

Sorta like Shana...seems to be a recurring theme with that studio.

finally, yoppi burst! I figured it'll eventually happening seeing as everyone also wanting to know what caused Mayu to leave I1 club. I hope we get some answers next time. I'm also glad that Mayu stepped in and told them that they need to work more and review their plans and such. If you want to beat the best, gotta step up your game and practice like them to at least compete.

Anyone watched the latest Strike the Blood episode? + Show Spoiler +

Asagi! nooooooo! :'( She was one of my favourites characters and she's now dead

I hope that she ends up living in the end

+ Show Spoiler +

The preview made it seem like it was a perma death but it is an anime so the odds are good that she will live.

+ Show Spoiler +

ya, it looked like perm death with her final lines of "I'm sorry" as well. I think she may eventually survive but doesn't look too convincing atm lol.

+ Show Spoiler +

ya thought the same. First of, lol she's gonna die an anime-death and suddenly it looks like she's dead for good.
Has to be scumbag preview and it's just anime-death though. Why all the red eyes forshadowing and stuff whenever she was on the computer? Just to portray her as skilled? I don't think that's what's happening

+ Show Spoiler +

hmm good points. I do recall her red eyes and wondering about it but then, if she got cut across her body and is probably losing so much blood, what possible escape route can she get? There must be something to the eyes though. It's just, I dunno how they can save her at this point. Not like she's a progenitor or something.

+ Show Spoiler +

Kojou could probably turn her into a familiar or something I'm guessing. She's not going to die, but frankly at this point it's only 4 episodes left in the season and I stopped watching StB for 'plot' long ago.

+ Show Spoiler [Log Horizon 22] +

Dear gods I hope this love tug of war thing doesn't rear its head up too often, or at least for too long.

That said this episode was an Akatsuki gif goldmine.

+ Show Spoiler +

hmm I guess. Didn't think of that possibility. I'm not even sure if Strike the Blood has an actual plot. I mean, it's like mini stories with the characters from previous stories joining the cast for the most part.

+ Show Spoiler [Log Horizon] +

I also hope that the love tug of war doesn't rear its head too often. I don't mind it but don't make LH mostly romcom or something. I have plenty of those to watch lol.

+ Show Spoiler +

StB contains only enough plot to advance the fanservice. We never know anything that's going on, secret organizations pop out everywhere, and everyone is constantly spewing some magical lore filled nonsense

+ Show Spoiler +

ya exactly lol. Just enough to keep some stuff going but overall, every story is totally different and lots of magical lore that I've never heard of before XD

I'm waiting for someone to make something like this + Show Spoiler [NSFW] +

for StB.

Not to spoil anybody's fun but i know where that GIF concept came from.

He talks ridiculously fast and he is cynical(is this the right word?) and sarcastic.

I think he is the highest subscribed youtube reviewer if i am not wrong but he was the one who said the words in the GIF. If i am not wrong and he wasn't just citing some other reviews words.

But Railgun's bad parts will nearly make you drop the entire franchise. I know I nearly did. + Show Spoiler +

And then I got gud and read the Index LNs and the Railgun manga, and everything was better. The End

People seem to be hating on the SoL and lower points in Railgun a lot. I didn't think they were that bad in S1, I mean yea they were a bit slow but they never gave me the thought that they threatened to have me stop watching and some of them were actually pretty ok.

It's amazing how he can literally mispronounce every name. I mean, you gotta get a couple right just by accident, right?

Me too . I liked GRarkada 10x more than Gigguk's reviews. He sometimes rubs me off with his reviews and actually annoy me more than amuse me.

I watched a few of GRarkada's review. I think my biggest impression was sometimes he would (maybe I'm getting the wrong guy but) just randomly be reading a book before starting his review or something? Iono he did random things at the opening that were kind of cute but also unnecessary. @__@

I think I disagree a lot with JesuOtaku's reviews...almost all of them actually, but I think she structures her arguments/reviews/commentary the best, so I think she's been my favorite.
