If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

It really wasn't. Fans kept praising it and when i finally watched it i honestly couldn't grasp why anyone would praise any part of it.

Finished the third arc of Kaiji. I liked it a lot better than the second arc, which was utter trash, but didn't hook me as much as the first arc. I think what kills this show for me is that everything is explained a billion times. They do everything so well, showing you the hints etc. and then they suddenly start explaining the move multiple times. Are they assuming the viewers are that stupid? It annoys me a lot because this anime has everything to be compelling but gets ruined by something silly like that. I still have some episodes left for the first season. Does anybody know if the show continues like this in s2?

Sword art online as well. Aniplex said they were animating everything from those two. In the same event even.


Yes, but one of these things is good.


Which one would that be?

probably SAO?

I heard both of it. Fans praising it and Fans saying it was shit because Asuna as MC was horrible according to them. Which says a lot if you're comparing her to Kirito.

It WAS the cancer arc, right? Or am I mixing up names of the arcs here?

Cancer? It was AIDS.

If he wrote the story 15 years ago AIDs might have worked but man even these days drugs have gotten so far that living past 40/50 with AIDS from birth isn't that far fetched. Japan must really suck man if it's worse than here when treating it. And it was from infected blood!

How many cases of HIV are there even in Japan? Feel he was trying to be edgelord like with the rest of SAO lol

I think the author was using: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV-tainted_blood_scandal_(Japan) as a form of inspiration but it just seems absolutely idiotic in future scifi japan.

lol, that arc was the single worst one yet.

Alicization (the next one) starts off ok, and has a decent starting premise, but that doesn't stop it from eventually shitting the bed. The first 3...? Volumes of Alicization just serve to trick you that this time SAO is gonna be different and not hot garbage. And after that you're like "damn, you got me! This is pretty shit"

Oh I thought it was something made up, like some kind of disease discovered in the future or some bullshit like that. Hence calling it Cancer as that describes both the arc and the disease at the same time~
Didn't realize it was actually supposed to be aids

I would say most people here criticizing it aren't fans of SAO in the first place lol. I didn't think it was anywhere near the worst of the animated arcs imo.

SAO has always been a series with good ideas that eventually get ruined with poor execution. I never read the later stuff where its supposedly better though *shrug*. Progressive has been fantastic for me however~

I think Kirito is a really shitty character, and I think Mother's Rosario was terrible. The only people who like Mother's Rosario are people who waifu Asuna.

I don't see how anyone could legit think that arc was good. Introduce some random character we have never met, and then go "btw, she has AIDS, plz be sad now". That shit can fuck off

Nah, i hate kirito too. It's just an awfully written arc, then again that's not too different from the rest of SAO, so

Am I the only one who kinda likes Kirito, especially in early SAO? He's ok atm but I liked his character then. As for Mother Rosario arc, this is the last arc that was animated, right? meh, was kinda silly overall. What makes me sad is that SAO wasn't too bad but it could've been a ton better if the anime/author showed more floors with more boss fights and such. Instead, they introduced an idea, showed some stuff, focused on pairing then we got the 'ending' then ALF or w/e its called started and felt like went downhill.

In the beginning I was really irritated by Kirito. I thought his actions were contradictory and didn't make much sense. At first I thought some interesting background story would explain it eventually and they would intertwine it nicely. Slowly it began to dawn on my it was just shitty writing.
I honestly enjoyed the first arc of SAO. Nothing great by any means but definitely entertaining. SAO went to shit when Kirito waifued Asuna and turned her into talking meat instead of the badass she was supposed to be. And no, Mother Rosario didn't change that fact.

I can't imagine there to be a lot of Kirito fans out there tbh. I'm the biggest Matsuoka fan in here and not even I like Kirito. Or for that matter a lot of his other roles. I just like the guy :3
