Decided to watch Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online 2 after getting a ton of hype about it from my friends.
 
 
My opinion in a nutshell:
 
SAO starts pretty strong, but takes a huge dive halfway. The Alfheim arc is terrible and boring and the whole series feels rushed. I see a lot of wasted potential.

This is pretty much the general consensus.

Entering SAO2:

SAO2 is great so far. I feel the anime finally is gotten some depth . It no longer feels rushed and the plot is a lot more interesting than the crappy Alfheim plot in the 2nd half of the first series.

 

 

I just started reading the light novels on which the anime is based. I've heard the novels are better than the anime (as usual). We'll see.

I really like SAO2, especially Sinon, but the fact that every damn female character falls in love with Kirito drives me up the wall. And on top of that, I feel like Sinon's falling in love is coming at the expense of the rest of her character's development.

 

We need more moments like her Episode 2 battle, where her ability to fight isn't nearly as reliant on Kirito.

I'm on the same page. SAO2 is better than I'd expected it to be and it got so many things going for it, Sinon being the strongest but the fact that every character that is female MUST fall in love with Kirito will one day drive me insane. So many characters could've been a lot more interesting..

[Liamv2]

That's my opinion too I like Sinon but ugh I hate how she fell for Kirito. Someone who she was yelling about how much she hated just a short bit ago.

Aldnoah was... meh. No real surprises this week. I can't even say it was exciting.

Spoiler

The Princess survived. Everyone who is surprised, say aye.

 

Ultimately it served as a catharsis/character development moment for most of the characters involved, and the utterly non-romantic relationship between them, but it kept waivering between almost plausible (the CPR/electroshocks in a dispassionate way) to the ridiculous (giving the loaded gun back to the unstable girl). It served enough of a purpose that the entire shower strangle scene wasn't wasted, per say, but the outcome overall was pretty predictable.

 

So, as a matter of fact, was the result of the Princess Broadcast once they got to the Earth command base- which is to say, nothing. The only people to receive it are the ones in on the conspiracy. About the only interesting note at the base was that it's intended to be a major refugee center and that the government is prepared/expecting the martians to conduct ethnic cleansing, making this base the Last Hope of Terrans.

 

Slaine got an episode without being beat up and/or tortured, despite having a pistol shot at his balls from close range... and instead got a shiney new mech. the Tharsis, apparently, as part of a 'you're free to do whatever, my debt of honor is repaid' from his current host. Slaine's state seems to be focusing on being disillusioned, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's still going to help the princess.

 

 

To finish up, the Conspiracy mastermind is going to drop his landing castle right on Earth HQ in a bid to end the war with a decisive battle. An episode (or three) of combat after our last few 'breather' episodes (pun intended) seem likely, but the result seems predictable at this point: mooks will be massacred, arrogant martians will be beaten by the power of analysis, Slaine will end up arriving to help the princess (but maybe fight with Orange), LT Marito will get back in a cockpit, and the Earth resistance will live on even if the base falls and lots of civilians die.

 

 

 

Pretty much. Though I still think Slaine is a bit of a wildcard (who knows where his head is at right now). Poor Slaine, if he's not being tortured he almost gets his balls shot.

No, the extended cut isn't Brotherhood style, since Psycho-Pass is an anime original series and there's no manga to get closer to. It's more like two episodes smushed together with a transition scene, from what I understand.

Yup this. I do say if you want to watch Psycho-Pass and get ready for season 2, watch the extended cut.

 

Gen nominally does a new anime, very rare for him to work on a series that was adapted from a manga.

Besides, I've already seen what I needed to see in Gintama.

 

It's really a shame, that you can watch clips on YouTube and whatnots and get lots of information on shows beforehand, I blame today's internet culture. When I started watching anime, we didn't have fancy online communities and torrents. No sir, we got our goods on CDs from the guy who knew a guy who had access to an FTP server.

 

Sure as hell nothing got spoiled for you. Get off my lawn!

[SlottsMachine]

 

 How much you paying to get access to it, House?

 

I'm not much for reading manga but I thought it was a couple bucks (at least if you were getting it included with the anime package).

Plus you just can't afford to miss how Shinji wins everything forever and is congratulated by everyone forever.

 

LOL. Yep. 

[Mr.House]

Everyone can watch a huge amount of good anime.

 

Now 366 episodes of utter ****, that's something.

[Mr.House]

[Mr.House]

Everything in Evangelion is aimed to make Shinji more f*cked than he already is.

 

I'm loving this anime ><

 

And Rei ain't blushing for nobody.

Shinjis dad, best.
