Because Keiichi Sigsawa, the author of the light novels, really liked the GGO world/concept and he wanted to use it in his work. He's also a huge gun nerd (his pen name is even derived from the name of a real life firearms manufacturer, SIG Sauer) and already showed some of that firearms knowledge a few times in the Kino's Journey series that he wrote previously. On top of that, he's also written an Indiana Jones-esque adventure series collectively called The Story of One Continent with a quite a bit of gun action, and then there's Gakuen Kino, "magical girl" Kino's Journey in high school with tons of gun fanservice. Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... I hate SAO so I have never watched anything after season 1. It's actually more like SAO (the in-story game) is made fun of by pretty much everyone after a certain point due to its in-universe history, and even by the SAO players themselves in the SAO Progressive series because of how exploitable the gameplay mechanics were. Sigsawa's GGO series focus mostly (entirely?) on the people who didn't go through SAO in its original form, so you're basically getting an "outsider" perspective on the incident when it gets brought up. And yeah, it's pretty much because Sigsawa liked the setting. His involvement pretty much began when he assisted with the gun action in the GGO arc of SAO2 anime. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's perfectly fine to be deeply in love with the best anime of the season.
It is literally about the love of the medium, as well as the creation of it. It is a perfect mix of both aspects. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel that if Bofuri was actually a real mmo, everyone would stop playing since it's redicoulusly easy to have a broken chracter and the admins are somehow less competent than Bethesda.

since it's ridicoulusly easy to have a broken chracter It really isn't. Remember that the reason Maple became broken isn't just because of her min-maxed stats. Her skills (giant killing, hydra, devour, psychokinesis, loving sacrifice, etc.), the ridiculous ways she's acquired them (letting a starting area enemy attack her for an hour without dying or killing it, standing in a Hydra's poison breath for like half an hour constantly healing to build poison immunity, eating several animals whole including the fucking hydra, sequence-breaking a quest in an insane way, etc.) and combined them together (using the hydra's poison to make acid rain, using psychokinesis to make a giant turtle float, etc.), and the unique armor set she lucked her way into early on are also major factors in her brokenness. She's essentially breaking the game by doing insane and ridiculous things that the vast majority of normal players wouldn't have the patience, luck, creativity, or lack of sanity to even attempt. Plus, she was able to do these things before the nerfs (including the addition of piercing damage) came around to prevent any future Maples, and her one-of-a-kind armor set helped make a lot of the insanity possible. The other characters in Maple's guild went through different (but similarly insane) means to become broken in their own ways, but again, they were in ways that very few players could pull off or would ever even think to attempt. It's all just a perfect storm of insane circumstances leading to more insane circumstances, all stemming from Maple's creativity and insanity, that led to their guild being as stupidly broken as it is now. So I definitely disagree that it's "easy" for anyone to have a broken character in this game, especially to the insane degree that Maple is. Tropicalwood posted... and the admins are somehow less competent than Bethesda. In terms of game balance, definitely. But to be fair, if sequence breaking a few quests and some future content (AKA the pets) sneaking in through an "unbeatable" boss being cheesed to death is the worst a game has, that's not too bad. No one has noclipped through any walls or lost any items due to glitches yet, and everything Maple has done to become stupidly broken is within the limits of what was intentionally programmed into the game. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC ...

I thought Magia Record was bad at first but it's actually getting a little interesting. Actually finding myself looking forward to the next episode a little. Still pales quite a bit in comparison to the original.
It seemed to have way too many characters at first but now it's zooming in on just a few which I think is better. I still imagined magical girls to be quite a bit more rare than Magia Record makes them out to be however. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Still pales quite a bit in comparison to the original. I've only seen the first 5 episodes (because then the English dub was announced and I switched over to that) but I've heard from the sub watchers that 6-8 have been really good. I know a good chunk of the story because I actually play the mobile game it's adapting, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how it's adapted and what differences (because there have been some notable ones already) there are compared to the game. Itachi157 posted... It seemed to have way too many characters at first That's kind of par for the course when it comes to anime adaptations of gacha games. You have the main group (in this case it's Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana) that gets the most focus, maybe a secondary group (in this case it's Momoko, Kaede, and Rena) that gets a decent amount of screen time too, and most other non-villain characters are either absent or just make short cameos here and there. Plus in this case, we also have the appearances of the Holy Quintet from the original series to factor in as well. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC ...

Finished off Nanoha Strikers. This season was really slow to get into, it took about halfway through when disaster struck to really catch my attention. Probably because at no point did I ever find myself giving a damn about the Forward units the season focused too much attention on. Subaru, Teana, Caro, and shota shit. Nanoha and crew are where its at. Also not a big fan of all the world politics of a planet I've never heard of before. What happened to Earth?

Eizouken continues to be the best anime airing this season.That last episode was too good. It's like so good that I'm scared that the rest of the show won't be able to follow it up lol. If it does and manages to surpass it then it's shaping up to be more than my aots. The year's just started and I'm already confident that if it continues to deliver like that then it can't be beat for my show of 2020. --- Enter the baller zone: http://error1355.com/ce/Gurifisu.html ...

Probably because at no point did I ever find myself giving a damn about the Forward units the season focused too much attention on. Subaru, Teana, Caro, and shota shit. Nanoha and crew are where its at. I think the main flaw with StrikerS was that it tried to do too much and develop too many characters and sideplots. If they focused more on Nanoha and the main crew and didn't do as much with the rookies, that would have been fine. Or if they went the opposite direction and focused more on building the rookies up as the next generation and started phasing Nanoha out a bit (which they ended up doing in ViVid anyways) then that would have been fine too. But it ended up in this awkward middle ground where the rookies weren't developed enough, but like you said, they still took up noticeable screentime from Nanoha and the main story. Speaking of that next generation... are you going to watch Nanoha ViVid to finish the TV series at some point? You already know some of the characters from when you watched ViVid Strike before you even knew it was a spin-off, but watching ViVid gets you more background info on them, specifically Vivio and Einhart. Plus you get to see more of Nanoha and Fate off-duty doing cute housewife things. Spidey5 posted... Also not a big fan of all the world politics of a planet I've never heard of before. What happened to Earth? Nanoha relocated to Midchilda, which also happens to be Fate's home planet, sometime between A's and StrikerS as part of her job with the TSAB. She essentially said goodbye to her family and former life on Earth to focus on her work and being closer to her lesbian lover Fate. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC ...

I have ViVid on my to watch list, I'm just not watching it yet. It's been so long since ViVid Strike that I doubt I'll remember most of the characters. I had trouble remembering a lot of the side characters in Strikers.
