Just finished episode fourteen of Sword Art Online, which felt like a natural stopping point for today. It's been kind of generic at times and there are a lot of missed opportunities regarding neat stuff they could be doing with this concept, but overall this still isn't bad. I went in without knowing anything so the fact that they're out of the game now is... huh. I'm really curious about where they go from here. If I were them I'd never play another mental game after such a traumatic experience so I'm going to be disappointed if the next arc is just 'hey now that our crazy adventure is over let's try this other game whoops it happened again lol'. There had better be a good justification!

Also Kirito/Asuna were a sweet couple, I'm glad they got together.

SAO spoilers even though probably everyone's seen it already

Aw yeah Kirito/Asuna. I really like their relationship also. I actually like most of the first arc of SAO. The show as a whole is a bit of a mixed bag, but this part I do genuinely like.

(Overall I would say I think it's a good show for the record. Just, some individual parts not so much)

I loved the cabin couple stuff until that annoying waste of space trash girl came and ruined everything, both in the characters and the show itself.

That SoL episode before that was bliss, though.

Active Raid
Hundred
Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan
Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut

I understand that stance, but I've never subscribed to the idea of "well there's worse shit out there".

It's the anime equivilant of "but her emails!"

I actually haven't. I watched the first two or three episodes when it started and just wasn't interested. I might try it again at some point though.

and I watched Mayoiga!

I equate it to establishing a baseline of what you're willing to put up with

if you were held at gunpoint and forced to watch 50 episodes of slideshow One Piece, filler Naruto or 50 episodes of SAO, which would you pick?

Kirito and Asuna's relationship just gets too fuckin cheesey for me way too fast. I actually really like their dynamic before like episode 10-11 but after that it's kinda just eye rolling to me. Guess I'm in the minority on that though.

are we sure Code Geass R3 is this year?

I guess it's probably going to be slotted into the usual Gundam slot for fall season since it looks like Sunrise is pushing Gunpla this year instead of traditional Gundam so as to not cannibalize each other

True, that was supposed to be last year, so...

Sunrise has that thing with the Evangelion artist, but that's looking like it might just be a game. I don't think an anime technically got announced for it.

I'm genuinely surprised you liked it! I watched it during broadcast and I remember it had mostly positive reception. I'm only recently aware of the negative backlash towards SAO.

I like to think I've mellowed out in terms of rage towards bad anime in the seven+ years I've watched anime. I used to get so angry at stuff and wonder why xyz don't get more seasons and why zyx got more seasons when it's bad. Now I'm mostly fine with most anime, I find even "bad" anime to be mildly amusing.

I watched S1 of Active Raid and thought it was super mediocre but not actively bad...

Hundred though holy shit that was so bad I dropped it

(I'm also of the opinion that SAO is utter garbage)

I feel like I've kind of gone in the opposite direction as I've gotten deeper in. The more great shows I see, the less I'm willing to give mediocrity a pass. Generally I don't specifically get mad when bad shows get popular, but it's more when those same people skip over actually good shows simultaneously.

In SAO's case I went in with extremely low expectations hoping to come out pleasantly surprised because, hey, gotta be popular for some reason right? As a result it was a huge kick to the face when it was significantly worse than I expected. Few things have made me angrier than Kirito's Black Cat angst.

I massively shit on Hundred's ending, yet I still think I probably liked it more than the first season of SAO overall. Active Raid was actively stupid tho. I agree with your statement that it wasn't actively bad, but like... I was watching that while a friend watched Code Geass and the two of us basically were talking about how bad Taniguchi was at like... law building between the two shows. Uh... Since I know that doesn't make sense... Basically rather than World Building, it's like the governments and what's wrong with them. If you get what I mean there.

When I got back in the game the only ongoing I was watching was JoJo. I spent 2 seasons just watching classics and stuff I had missed.

Puella;Gate.

Looks like Magical Girl Ore and Site are gonna be duking it out. Will the Kizuna Ai bump push Site to #1??
