Eclipsed Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Finished SAO Aincrad arc / ep 14 I'll actually have to really, really consider Fred's advice now, 'cos man did they end it on such a feelsy note K I've decided. I'll still watch. o7 ed: k, so, i don't know what all the warnings was all about, cuz ep. 15 is starting off super good, I'm seriously getting flashbacks to my worst rated anime Accel World where the latter half of the show was devoted to a jerkass plot-armored overpowered fodder villain who completely manhandles the protag(s) causing them to wallow in self-pity for god knows how long, I pray Kirito can get over this soon.

It just completely failed to grab me. Sometimes I think I should give it another chance, but then I read statements like the above and decide I made the right call. I agree, kinda dropped it at ep.4 had other things to do you know, although the OP was one of the best i've heard so i'd be willing to give it another look someday.

SilverLi Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I decided to start watching the remake of the Space battleship Yamato. It is really enjoyable so far even though there is so many points which is totally stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 7 hours ago, Fred the Barber said: Finished Amagi Brilliant Park (the 12 episodes of the main series, not episode 13 or the OVA). That was pretty damn good. It's a matter of personal taste that I would've preferred to see a nice romance between Kamie and Sento, which I'm guessing is the main reason why @ittaku mentioned he'd like to see a sequel, but despite wanting that romantic closure I felt like the show did a great job of completing everything it set out to. Overall I'm very happy with it; typical superb KyoAni quality. And if they did make a sequel (it seems like the light novels are ongoing, so they certainly could), I wouldn't hesitate to watch. The only time I've been dissatisfied watching a KyoAni anime was when they tried to write their own story in Tamako Market. I should really get around to watching the others I've missed like Sound! Euphonium. Also, I just read on Wikipedia that Kanie's name was inspired by Kanye West. It makes such perfect sense that I almost can't believe I didn't think of it before. Amaburi is probably better off as a slice of life comedy than as a romance. Mainly because KyoAni sucks at making decent romances (you just get a half assed non closure ending every time, and you'll never get a kiss scene). As for Euphonium, I think you should really give it a go because it's a show that actually showcases KyoAni's capabilities instead of being another half decent romcom. It was probably one of my favorites when it was airing and I was always hyped to wait another week for the next episode. But don't expect romance or some big overarching plot, it's all about the characters and their relationships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxter0987 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 SAO II is really good. People will most likely dislike the mini arc in between the two halves of SAO II but I don't see how people can have a problem with the second half of SAO II. The second half of SAO on the other hand... lets just say as someone who read the LNs first, even the volumes it was adapted from were kind of mediocre. With regards to Guilty Crown: I've been told time and time again if I don't like Inori A LOT after the first few episodes, I should stop watching it. Which I guess is just more confirmation that the show wasted its potential. Knowing me though, I'll probably like Inori enough to continue and subsequently regret my decision. Yeah, I really should get on that Amagi Brilliant Park train. It's been awhile since I watched a good KyoAni show (Tamako Market and Kyoukai no Kanata though... ). Haven't seen Euphonium yet so maybe KyoAni has been doing better lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 KyoAni shot themselves in the foot this season with that Phantom World.. thing. But before that they did do some decent stuff, mostly Euphonium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned from watching K-On! that if it's done well, a character-focused show is perfectly fine with me, so that should be fine. I have to agree that KyoAni doesn't do closure on romances especially well, but it doesn't stop me from wishing for them to learn how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Finished SAO It wasn't a disaster or anything, but yeah, second half definitely lacked the charm that the first half did. w.e, in the end I got a pretty good romance out of this shit, so I'm satisfied.

That's when I decided I just didn't give a shit about SOA anymore. Screw Kirito, screw Asuna, I seriously don't care what happens after the second arc at all. The anime jumped the shark and ruined one of the main reasons I was interested in it. They didn't take advantage of the setting, the plot was largely uninteresting, and they ruined Asuna. That's why I think of it as mediocre, and cringe whenever someone calls it "the best anime ever". Fred the Barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything past "good" goes a little too far, IMO. Fate/Zero (and Unlimited Blade Works), Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill are much better than SAO, IMO.

Leaf Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Watched 5 episodes in a row of CardCaptor Sakura, didn't get the robust card catching action in ep.16 and ep.18, which was kinda disappointing!
