Awww... That's no help :(

Seriously though, should I watch it in the hopes of it being good, or should I watch it so that I can talk about how bad it is, or should I not watch it at all?

Or you can read it lol. ( a volume is like 200 pages....Fate/Zero is around 300...)You can but its slow, Daisuki is streaming it weekly and Crunchyroll has it for the premo members.

Not worth the time or effort.

It's nice to hear a genuine opinion. But considering what both you and I have said about SAO in this very thread, I don't think either of us are qualified to pass a quick judgement on it. Or maybe that was someone else. :lol:

No way I am reading that. I'm reading Catch-22 right now. A hilarious American classic.

Maybe it was someone else? I don't know what you're talking about! Unless you mean I'm not qualified because I'm not that fond of SAO then perhaps...

Yes, your opinion is genuine. As in, not sarcastic or clouded. You'd be surprised to know how hard it is to find those sometimes ;)

And yes, that is what I meant :lol:
 
SAO II is currently being slow and building up things.(a episode feels like its 10 minutes long of plot and more of flirting with Sinon till the current episode) Its ok not to watch it, there are better shows out there.

Modesty is key. :p
@TheCorvette I was thinking about High School DxD but I'm not so sure about it. How's the plot?
Click to expand...
Pretty good actually, and no I'm not referring to this. One of the things that helps set High School DxD apart from other fanservice series is how good the plot is, and how it manages to have a great balance between fanservice, and the actual plot.

I will warn you though, the first few episodes are rather weak.
 
Someone shared this bingo card as a reaction to Sailor Moon's notorious rep:

Not for me, they're HORRIBLE for me, especially considering some of these have gone on for hours straight (Mainly referring to a Twitter argument I had a year ago, and an argument I had on another forum). They do nothing but end up making me physically and mentally tired, and my viewpoints hardly change.

I've never seen someone complain about time of arguments. You might as well call it off if it's taking yours.

But don't worry; I don't want to argue about arguments myself. There's a place on this forum for that, which is called the GT6 section.

wow. That doesn't follow along with what I've heard. :lol:

Welp, time to go watch it...

P.S. Thanks for letting me know that SAO II really IS mediocre. Also, High School DxD is on my list now ;)

EDIT: Just started watching Hyperdimension Neptunia. I'm not sure what to expect (it's from the guys who made Jojo), because it probably didn't get a big budget considering its premises yet it's still from an okay studio. Still looks better than Toei's sad excuses of anime. Also, boobies.

Looks like he's been inactive since mid-April :(

Hyperdimension Neptunia is a horrible attempt at a mahou shoujo anime so far. But I like the girls ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
As I've said before in this thread, the show sucks, the game sucks, it's a bunch of fanservice type stuff. As much as it's all terrible I still love the concept, the constant stabs at the console companies and the girl's personalities reflect it as well.

Another question for anybody:
Should I start watching SAO II?
I've watched the first half of season 1. Didn't watch the other half due to warnings from my buddies at school.

Also I heard that Kirito becomes a girl of some sort. Maybe I should watch it just so I can rustle some jimmies at school.

Id go ahead and finish up the rest of it so by the time your done with that there'll be atleast a dozen released for S2 so you can watch at your leisure.
Im enjoying it alot actually more than S1 mostly because i was never a fan of mid evil/Fantasy stuff .. Guns are way cooler :D

The second half yeah isnt as great but its a "freshish" twist compared to the first half and is a decent closing to the 1st season i thought.

Im the kinda guy that doesnt really take well to shows that do well here in the U.S ,mostly based on how the artwork and character styles look and all the hype usually turns me off which is why by the time a first saw SAO and AOT even Madoka they where done airing when normally im quick to pick up on new show's .

It's something I've heard from others before. High School DxD is among the most well-received of fanservice series. You should have seen what people were saying when season 3 was announced recently.

OK, I need to watch Psycho Pass now.

Definitely. It's very good in exploring its themes and has a great plot going. It's pretty slow in the first half but it really shines in the latter half. If you want you can watch the Extended editions which basically sums up the show in chunks. So far each ep. of the Extended is 2 ep's of the original, adding up to 40 or so min per Extended ep. I think watching the original is better unless you can wait for the Extended editions to come out.
 
I don't like Psycho-Pass's style. Bit odd for me. The concept also just doesn't appeal to me. I would rather watch that KanColle buzz that's coming in late 2015 :P

Yeah, the show does get a little... disturbing. I felt like the show was holding something back amass the cases the team takes on, and it came in the last 13 ep's. Not that the first few are bad.
The show worked for me because of the societal themes.

It's not about gore. I can handle that easily. But I don't like the character design or the premise. Just my opinion.
 
Im abit fuzzy on the show but there wasn't much i didnt like about it other than the ending seemed a little weak in a few small areas and the character design did take abit for me to actually enjoy the show.
It has Ghost in the shell feel overall but with the gore plus every other bit of the story i enjoyed it enoff and cant wait for more.
 
BTW, people in USA, Canada, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and Ireland, you can pre-order your Homura figurine through RightStuf for a decent price (no pre-payment required):

I'm sharing it because it being an Aniplex exclusive means the only (usual) way to obtain it is through a forwarding service, which for good samaritan reasons, should be left for those not able to get it from Aniplex nor Rightstuf.



Note: I've completely paraphrased and partially plagiarized someone else's extremely helpful post. You should go thank them if you're one of those who just have to have this.









edit: Terror in Resonance's soundtrack out in the field. Granted I haven't heard a lot of Yoko Kanno's work, this is pretty different for me.
