I've seen those same defenses used for the Transformers movies. Think about that.

"Itai why are the 5.7mm casings hitting my feet senpai"
"the p90 ejects it's shells downwards instead of sideways MC-chan, donmai donmai"
"h-hai" *proceeds to accidentally an entire clan pvp battle, solo, with tears in eyes*
dropped at the key art alone
To be fair GGO spin-off LN is written by Kino's journey author, and he is pretty pro at guns.

It being by Kino's author is probably the biggest selling point to me. Will at least end up checking it out.

I'm legit interested in two SAO series. Color me surprised lol
hey man I've already ceded the gun accuracy in my shitpost what more do you want
I mean, duckroll has to have someway to defend those films.
You can make shit shine, but in the end it's still shit.
I might check it out anyway.

I should buy more anime.
Well I would not suggest self-harm over people trash talking Japanese cartoons, it's a sign of poor mental health. Do seek help if you feel you need it. It's pretty worrying.
That aside, it's not an argument that it's not worth thinking about things. It's an argument that intent and audience is important to determine the success of a product. Wasting time on expressing deep critical analysis on something no one really cares to engage in debate about is pointless. No one watches SAO to talk about shot composition or intricate details in the thought process behind each scene. People watch it to see Kirito and Asuna get it on, before he rekts all his enemies and unleashes his final form. If SAO achieves that, and fans like it, it is successful. I think everyone making it would also agree with that assessment.
I don't defend those movies. I just watch them (a few times in IMAX 3D) hoping that he will one day make Bad Boys 3.

Eh, there's nothing really terrible about the setting itself. As long as it features none of the mainline characters and creative freedom for the author, it could be fun. At the very least, I probably won't have to deal with harems and terribly cliched romances.

It's more of how dismissive duckroll was than anything else. In truth, it goes beyond art being subjective. It's the ultimate subjective thing. Stories exist to make a connection. Doesn't matter how well you design a story, how smart it is, if it can't make that connection it'll fail every time. But that doesn't mean stories are immune to criticism. It certainly doesn't mean "those words don't mean anything".
All the criticisms someone makes can be true but that doesn't have to stop you from enjoying it anyway. I finished Knight's and Magic this season but not really much else because I just wanted to see this story of a fun world where a cute kid plays with giant robots. But for me to act like it isn't flawed...I mean. C'mon.
Ozen is character of the year.
And episode 13
hurt me real bad. Goddamn did I choke.
Fuck that guy, fucking evil monster.

For reals. The setting's ripe for some exploration, and it being by the author of Kino's Journey piqued my interest right up.
I expect something plenty entertaining, at the very least.
Anime News Network had this synopsis:
And now my interest is secured. Tall lady IRL, plays tiny girl in-game? Already relatable, and anything with fem protags who aren't sexed to hell and back in the promo material automatically gets a look from me.

So we start the Chi-chan long arc. This isn't going to be as easy as with Mako, where they decided to dance together, and boom, done! Getting a partner is going to be hard.
Chinatsu bring her own baggage and inner turmoil, you can see how she backs when they were going to start dancing, and in how she flips flops between wanting to do it and not to do it. Tatara has to discover that his leading until now has been kind of.. uh... childish? True leading in competitive dance is really more assertive and dominant, and finally their personality clashes in a much more pronounced way than when he danced with the timid Mako.
And all this is good, this is a fiction story and in the end, the heart of fiction is usually conflict. It would be boring otherwise.
Also, sometimes I have the mind of a 14 years old...

From the first few episodes of King's Avatar I saw, the only difference between it and SAO is a lack of romance. It's main character is still stupid busted.

Only difference between SAO and King's Avatar is that on is Isekai and the other deals with the inner-politics of an MLG team

One of the very few instances where an anime episode surpasses the manga chapter it was based on. Wow what an episode.

That scene where Reg obliterates Mitty and you see the big bloom of fire from behind Reg was so incredibly heavy.

He's alive.
You know, I completely forgot we're getting Fate anime from Nisio this Fall ... (And from Mirai Nikki director.)

Poor Mitsuhide, it's been 400 hundred years and he's still the epitome of "traitor" in Japan.
Literally all the character designs look very unappealing and edgy. I hope it's a parody of Fate/Battle Royal stuff, but it will probably take itself seriously..

I guess its time for me to continue Index where I left off.
judas gonna wear that for all time tho
Made in Abyss 08-09
Ozen's input and involvement reinforced a lot of intrigue towards the world. Yes, I am actually keen on learning what is in the depths of this maddening Abyss a lot more than before, she's not just an interesting character on her own but also added a lot to the show for me. The tease towards the other White Whistle cave raiders carries a lot of weight owing to us getting a glimpse of Ozen and her capabilities as a White Whistle. The brief silhouette of their enigmatic appearances adds to this.

Episode 9 had me hooked in that the sense of danger over the verticality of the location and the random encounters put me on the edge but we are also cushioned in the labyrinthian burrows time and again, knowing at least there, they were safe from danger. This was a really good episode from start to finish.

Dropped. Thanks for the warning. And man, Juuni Taisen's art looks...kinda weak. I'm all for EO fanservice, but this doesn't appeal to me so...PASS. XD
SAO to this day remains the only anime that I've flat out dropped. On other occasions where I've come across an anime I wasn't enjoying I struggled through it to the bitter end, but I just couldn't with SAO.
The fact that it's getting a 3rd season triggers me something fierce.
Yeah, the first two episodes of PriPri led me to believe that the show was leaning heavily on the political intrigue side of things, but the show took a completely different road after that.
I did however enjoy the goofier parts of the setting, so I wouldn't be opposed to season 2 completely turning PriPri into a SoL anime with spies.

Almost any other situation I would avoid Zodiac War like the plague....but I'll give Nisio the benefit of the doubt and stick through it.
