The Navi-Computer is for programming hyperspace routes. The ship even makes the hyperspace jump sound. I'd say you need to watch the video again and actually pay attention. So yeah it was jumping to hyperspace into the moon, which I believe is the same as what happened with the Raddus. Holdo programmed and timed the jump so she would hit the Supremacy just before entering hyperspace. This is completely valid within the lore regardless of how things work once ships get into hyperspace, so... yeah. Anakin used it. There's also a comic where 3 Star Destroyers accidentally crash into the Executor through hyperspace, but the shield pulverizes them. But EU silliness, and all that. Where are they going to get these ships? They have little money and resources. We've not seen many droid piloted ships that were very effective compared to people, even clones. You don't see droids or computer controlled guns either, except for Separatists. Rebels and Resistance would be short of droids, too. Because it's wasteful? Also not exactly the Empire's style. It's quite.... undignified, don't you think? They still need those ships to control the galaxy and actually have an Empire. You could ask why they didn't use 1000s of Star Destroyers at Endor instead of 40. Well, they had to be able to hide the fleet to make the Death Star look relatively unprotected to lure the Rebels in, and the rest of those ships are needed to patrol the rest of the galaxy. You're being a pedantic child over this. JJ said something like Vader is the ultimate villain so you can't outdo him. So instead they made a conflicted, unstable, erratic villain like Kylo. He's not meant to be "badass." The danger in Kylo is how unpredictable he is due to how unstable he is. And don't you think since he lost he's going to be that much more pissed off, desperate, and dangerous? He'll be out for revenge after Rey beat him and then turned down joining him. I was talking about Rotten Tomatoes. It's easy to see TLJ got review bombed there, and the same thing happened with Resistance before it even came out. There's parroted negative TLJ reviews on Rotten Tomatoes... for movies that aren't even TLJ! Upon looking your link dismissing CinemaScore is outdated and also bullshit. You had nothing to say about SurveyMonkey. Now it's come out that of the TLJ tweets directed at RIAN JOHNSON, only 20% were negative, and half of that 20% were politically motivated, so anti-SJW alt-right fucktards, some even including Russian agents and bots. But as I said, I don't care what other people think of a movie I like, nevertheless I will dispel bullshit when I see it, and the idea there is this massive mob of TLJ haters is just that. If you're talking about the map thing, I already explained to you why your source was wrong. Star Wars Wiki is still a wiki, like Wikipedia, so it's good for some things but it still gets stuff wrong, and it got the map thing wrong, as JJ stated. There are other things in the wiki and Star Wars Encyclopedia that are also wrong, like the aforementioned things about Executor and Home One size and the nature of Star Destroyer bridge globes. It also used to be canon per SW Encyclopedia that Twi'lek lekku were erogenous zones. Sadly doesn't seem to be the case under the new canon. OH YE HOLY STAR WARS ENCYCLOPEDIA! I dunno there was plenty of things you ignored or glossed over but I think I dealt with a lot of it with this post.

Well I did notice from the trailer that it seems like the music sucks, when the anime had great music. D: Your opinion of Bleach is moot to me, so that doesn't carry much water for me. I thought it was pretty good for a what-if scenario if this particular kid had gotten the Death Note. They should have done that completely and not said this was some version of the original story and characters. L was good, though, eh? It wasn't great but like I said it could have been way worse, like, Street Fighter The Movie or Mortal Kombat: Annihilation level. Or Evil Dead 1. That movie is so bad it's literally torture to sit through. I watched it once for completion and that's it.

Reki is not the artist for SAO. The artist is some mysterious person known only as ABEC. Not sure if the SAO characters' designs are made-to-order, though.

In life-threatening situations adrenaline and survival instinct spring into action. Plus Oberon was fucked up by the game when Kirito turned the pain settings all the way up. People were complaining that Kirito put computers together when he was a kid, which as I said, is not really that difficult with modern computers. The kid has been playing videogames and messing around with electronics and computers, including hacking, for his entire life, so yeah it makes sense he would be good at all these things. It was basically all he did. The show also established that Kirito was in a class specifically dealing with that technology that he uses to help Yuuki. He initially made it for Yui, if you recall, so it's not like he pulled it out of his ass. Yuuki had faster reflexes because all she did was play VR games almost 24/7, so even more than Kirito. The point is, she's still better than Kirito. But yeah, according to you, being good at videogames and being able to get women are impressive accomplishments lololol. If you had read my links, then basically, yes. SAO started out as a story Reki Kawahara wrote for a contest, that ultimately went over the word limit, so he threw it up on his website. It took off in popularity, so he started writing more stories for it, as further web novels. The web novels were later turned into light novels, which are considered the higher canon. Reki also considers Progressive canon over the original version of the Aincrad Arc as apparently later arcs reference and deal with events that happened in Progressive. Chapter 16.5 was, as Reki pretty much said, something he wrote when he was young and dumb, and would like everyone to just forget about it. It was buried on his website, but people dug it up and shared it across the internet. If it was intended to be canon, it would've been more prominent on his site, and he would've published it along with the other light novels. Let's see. Alice from the Resident Evil movies. It's basically just the director saying LOOK HOW AWESOME MY WIFE IS! Yami Yugi could be considered to be one, since he almost always has a solution to every duel he's in, but the enjoyment there is to see just what strategy he will come up with to win and what card he will pull out that helps him win. I think the only times he lost was when the other person was cheating? The Pharoah has thousands of years of experience at games, though! Alucard from Hellsing. Again, the entertainment is in just how is he going to kick this person's ass. In Vampire Hunter D, the reveal that D is Dracula, and then kicks the other vampire's ass is just glorious. But since both characters are literally Dracula, their power is justified? I'd argue the guy that's more BS is the catboy that has Alucard's weakness because he does. Most of the other vampire powers in Hellsing don't need explanation due to the silliness of the show, but his should have. About the only true Mary Sue I can think of who doesn't work is the main character of Prince of Tennis. It's like watching Aizen play tennis. Even then Aizen himself was explained, his weaknesses were discovered, and got a taste of his own troll medicine in the end. Basically the whole show of Prince of Tennis just sucks. Another thing... does the plucky underdog working their way up thing never get old? Like, really? I find it refreshing at times when we follow characters that start off already good. Seven Deadly Sins, Rurouni Kenshin, Fairy Tail, Yugioh, One-Punch Man (a totally different but great take on a strong character,) and many other shows, start out with the characters already skilled and powerful, and they're all good shows. I wouldn't call Fairy Tail, the Sins, or Kenshin Mary Sues, though. Characters are allowed to start off not being fucking noobs. Plus those shows did have beginner characters included in the casts, Lucy, the princess in Seven Deadly Sins, the kid in Kenshin, etc. And Yami helps the less experienced but already skilled Yugi win games. One-Punch Man, as said, is a completely different kind of story not dealing with the usual scenario. So yeah, I believe some characters are Mary Sues, but most of them are entertaining to watch anyway, what with how they are used in their respective franchises, and most actually have justifiable explanations for their Sue-ness. The term has been overused and abused so much, it's almost meaningless at this point, and like I said, for many people it's basically shorthand for "competent character I don't like." Then there's the fact that underachievers feel threatened by intelligent, talented, and successful people, including fictional ones, it seems, sadly. I can't think of many true full-on Mary Sues besides Alice from RE and the Prince of Tennis kid. And even then some of those Resident Evil movies were watchable. The first one was decent enough, at least. One thing I do find interesting, is you rarely see male characters accused of being Mary Sues. Can't imagine why that is...

Some Bleach final arc spoilers in here too -

Grand Magic Games - This is mostly going straight from memory. I could've taken more notes, but ehh, that would slow down the binge, and probably make this post even longer! Here goes... I don't know why people rip Fairy Tail so much. This show gets the emotions going a lot, and it makes the ass kickings of the villains so satisfying. Not many shows match it in both of those regards. And this Grand Magic Games Arc has so much going on, lots of plots and sub-plots, so many players with different motivations, all interweaving and converging. So yeah this is the wrap-up from the filler, I can tell these characters are filler as hell. Lucy got her new outfit during the filler?! Wait, maybe she got it right before and I forgot? Okay I'm sorry but I do not remember this Max guy. Is he one of those really minor background Fairy Tail members or is he a new character they introduced as "was always a part of the guild but you just didn't see him until now" thing? I did think it was funny how they actually used that as a plot point with the memory powers council guy, though, lol. Maybe time passes slower here and we can get in a bunch of training! Actually time moves faster here LOOOOOOOL. Second Origin sounds like an asspull to me. Like, what was the point of the joke of missing out on 3 weeks of training if they're just going to do this? Have 'em do 3 weeks of hard training, or hell, give Fairy Tail a handicap. But, if Guru can unleash inner potential, and Mystic Gohan can exist... I'LL ALLOW IT! So, is Ultear channeling St. Peter with that upside-down cross on her outfit? Meldy all grown up. <3 So that old lady is the Edolas version of Wendy's dragon. Ok then. And yeah Edolas counterparts can cross species as established with the Cat MAAAN. Anyway I was glad how Wendy came into her own as a fighter thanks in part to the new spells. That Erza and Jellal near kiss was EVIL. Happy getting punted into oblivion was hilarious, though! Wow, fair weather fans, much? As soon as Fairy Tail gets down in the dumps, you boo them out of the building? Besides, who actively hates really shitty teams? Yes, enemy rivals get booed to death, but I don't think anyone actually goes out of their way to hate the Detroit Lions. I'm not a big sports guy. They still suck, right? Then, after Fairy Tail starts doing well and ultimately wins, they get a lot of support. From fair weather fans to bandwagon jumpers! Fuck you people! I did think it was kind of convenient there were these games for Fairy Tail to get back on top without slowly working their way up, but it wasn't exactly an easy victory, heh. Also makes sense why the games are only recently being held again. Just a general comment, I can see the fan service gradually increasing. Don't know if that's because it got more in the manga, or it was always like that and the anime was cutting it or toning it down before. I hear Fairy Tail gets into almost full-blown ecchi/porn levels later, but I don't know how accurate that is. I think I have seen Fairy Tail listed under ecchi on some sites for one of its genres, though, lol. An example what I talked about earlier, Jellal, Erza, Millianna, Kagura, Ultear (who tied in with Gray too,) their whole thing was really well done and not even the main part of everything that was going on, but it was connected in multiple ways to multiple subplots. Loved that story. Also Kagura reminds me of Akame. Not sure which character was made first or claiming anyone ripped anyone off, just pointing that out. And I can't remember if Simon talked about a sister before? Haha, I love how the traditional tournament has been done to death so much, shows don't do them anymore, and the announcer even commented on how this wasn't a tournament setup. This is at least the third time I've seen this between HxH, MHA, and Fairy Tail. I think a traditional tournament would've been fine, but this allowed for more variety, and also rematches etc. Fights were great, by the way. So the motion sickness thing has been retconned or revealed to be a Dragonslayer trait and not just a Natsu trait. And is this really a time for a Fairy Tail speech?! I know it comes back to bite them later, but come on. Erza beating all 100 monsters was glorious, and I was so glad she didn't get trolled by that cheater guild. I thought she should've gotten more points than she did, though? As to satisfying ass-kickings, Natsu whipping both Rogue and Sting, and Laxus whipping that cheater guild all by himself, Erza whooping Minerva. And I believe this is the first we've seen Makarov's son? Why do so many people around him turn evil? His master, his son, grandson for a while... And the part with Mavis crying. Her eyes kind of bug me though. Are they like that because she's dead? The maid girl also has weird eyes. Hers have no reflection, but at least she has pupils. I know I'm forgetting names, but I'm not going to look them up and risk spoilers. Also... Mavis looks like a young girl, those "ears" or whatever those are in hair look like wings, and we carefully didn't see her in her swimsuit... could there be wings... and a tail, under that nightshirt/dress thing? Maybe she's an actual fairy... with a tail! But, wouldn't the others have commented on it? Still, hmm. Also gotta' say I didn't expect her to be around this whole arc, given how mysterious and rarely she showed up last time. She was fun, though! Scared of ghosts! And Fairy Tactician! What is with fat girls in anime and being able to turn into a slim form? I've seen it with pirate lady from One Piece, and there's a Bleach character in the manga like that too. She was funny, though, I think Kubo actually squeezed as many fat jokes into one chapter as humanly possible. But, at least the fat form seems to be the default for this girl? Debatable on the Bleach girl, but the One Piece girl went slim permanently and never went back to being fat, as far as I know. Not that I want to see a bunch of lardos running around, but still. Wow, you don't hear many southern accents in anime anymore. I think that southern accents for Kansai dialect thing was an early dub thing that was dropped a while ago. Some have also said a Brooklyn accent or such might be more analogous. But for this girl, given she looks like a redneck Pippi Longstockings, I'd say it's fitting! I almost wonder if Yukino was created to fuck with the editors that made Mashima bring Lisanna back. I love her though. She's such a sweet girl. What Jemma did was horrible! Loved Natsu going in there busting that place up. But, we got no follow up! YUKINO MUST JOIN FAIRY TAIL DAMN IT! Yukino was definitely pretending to be a badass with her "whoever loses dies" thing in the match, trying to go along with Sabretooth's ways. Heh. That Memory Maker guy is way too hax. I think he's one of the few that uses more than one element, too. There's him, the edgelord paper girl, Jellal, Cana (only because of one spell,)... I guess Natsu, whose lightning became permanent? Thought it was a one time deal. We know the magic is learned and not anything innate that says a person is born with this kind of magic. So, most wizards are specialists and not jack of all trades, it seems. Was so glad when Sting blasted Jemma. That was great. Jemma is the Snoke of Fairy Tail! I love it. He totally got blasted through, though! No way he survived that! I call BS on Lector being "teleported" too. It was almost like 4kids intervention! Maybe Mashima thought it would be too dark and heartbreaking for Lector to actually be dead, but there's no reason to keep Jemma around except to cause problems later! I bet him and Minerva aren't "gone for good!" So, are we just going to pretend the drunken Kung Fu guy didn't say he would get to fuck Lisanna and Mirajane all night if Elfman lost the fight? That was creepy and disturbing and didn't come off as a joke, and Bacchus never apologizes and takes it back. But now he's one of their buddies because he lost the fight? Ehhh... And why is such a strong guy in such a joke of a guild? I did like how clever and atypical that fight was, though. Elfman just tanked all those hits, haha. Thought for sure pumpkin guy would be some shady evil fucker, but he was the king (who isn't evil) haha. Levy worrying over Gajeel is adorable. I love how the Blue Pegasus team consists of three generic shojo bishonen boys, a woman whose entire strategy is based on fan service, and that smelly idiot MAAAN! Oh and the creepy-ass rabbit was just that damn cat this whole time! And he's not even as tall as that costume! I think Mirajane has gotten even thicker in this new anime! And why does she wear that bodysuit? Is that the outfit for when she anticipates using her powers? Still love the cute front pony tail thing she has. This is a random thing but I really like the character names. You've got names that are just different enough from names you might commonly hear, like Erza (I kept reading it as Ezra for so long,) Mirajane, some names that are straight up RPG names, like Jellal, Lahar, and Ultear, which sounds awesome, then some everyday names and a few Japanese names, and of course names that reference certain things. Watched the Unearthed episode on Pompeii tonight and apparently Bacchus is the Roman god of wine. Heartfealia... Oh and "Heartfeelmeup" that was a good one who ever came up with that line! Why didn't Sting just finish off Fairy Tail? He felt it would be a hollow victory? Fairy Tail is just THAT badass? He had the perfect strategy to camp until the end. The acid drunker guy reminds me of Gray from Black Clover in just two ways. That "splooosh" catchphrase he has, is like "shoooo" that Gray does, and they're both big fat guys. When are Lucy's celestial spirits going to stop acting so goofy, useless, and uncooperative? Well, at least the mermaid was more helpful this time, but only because of circumstances, lol. And why didn't the fishing guy just REMOVE the water instead of making it hot? I forgot the thing about how Loke can come and go as he pleases, and why does he have cat ears now? I could really do without these edgelord girls from the Hungry Wolves, especially evil Strawberry Shortcake. Good luck using your status defect spells against the White Mage, bitch! (Evil Shortcake vs Wendy) I guessed that Rogue and Sting's dragon parents were abusive and that's why they killed them, but nope. Yup, Lucy and Yukino definitely had to get into that position to summon the spirits! I started thinking after a while that maybe the dragons attack BECAUSE the Eclipse is used. Either they are drawn to the magic, or they feel the need to intervene, given the humans have created such a superweapon that can also be used as a time machine. We did see a scene earlier with Igneel saying they might have to get involved. I was close! They come through the gate! But why doesn't Lucy remember closing it? Some of these dragons walking through the gate have some smug-ass troll faces. Like the one that comes for Rogue, Jade Dragon, and the Rock one, haha. The kingdom is doomed because of my incompetence. Yup! And you guys really couldn't have gotten more specific about the time traveler? These are big stakes! I'm not sure who the girl with the short purple is supposed to be. If she was significant at some point and I forgot or has purposefully been kept mysterious. I thought maybe she could be Edolas Wendy with a haircut or somehow Edolas-related but I don't think that's it (Wendy's hair is blue anyway,) but she apparently has a connection to the poison Dragonslayer guy. She called him Eric. Hm, that spell that removes dignity wouldn't work on Gray or Yoruichi. At least, you'd have to come up with something else besides removing clothes! And he's sophisticated and doesn't just mindlessly destroy like other dragons! All these beautiful old buildings getting destroyed! T_T I'm just glad the castle and arena survived. It feels like it should be longer than just 400 years since the age of dragons, though. Natsu not getting sick while riding the dragons. Mother Glare is actually played by a woman? They must have really messed with her voice! Of all the people to turn evil, I wouldn't expect Rogue. He was the first Sabretooth member to recognize that they're being assholes and should maybe change. Though I can't blame anyone for wanting to kill his cat, it's kind of creepy! I wonder who "they" are that kills him, though. And what's up with that shadow? We thought it was just his ability, but it's its own entity? That might have something to do with him turning evil. Also the fact he looks like Zeref, but with a longer face. I mean surely Mashima wouldn't make someone look like Zeref on accident? Dragon Tamer magic seems suspect to me. How can you control these powerful beasts so easily? Yeah, the fire one was turned by Natsu by making friends, and Jade Dragon wasn't being controlled and was just there for the lulz, but still. It is cool that Natsu was able to spend time with a fire dragon that knew Igneel, though. I wonder if the thing of him always remembering Natsu will come back later. I think it is kind of silly that ONLY Dragonslayer magic could harm a dragon. I think it should be someone strong enough, or elements or abilities to counter that particular dragon, and just say Dragonslayer magic is more effective. Even still, the Dragonslayers couldn't slay any of those dragons! I gotta say, the show built up the dragons for a looong time, and when Acnologia showed up, and then these, they were rightfully and properly powerful and terrifying! I thought Natsu just launched himself into Rogue, but he hit the dragon, too, heh. That was nice how he took out the Eclipse Gate. I was wondering if Flare just got perverse pleasure out of torturing Lucy in their match earlier, or if it was sexual, too. Seeing her save Lucy during the dragon attack and then her expression afterwards, I'm beginning to think she's a lesbian sadist. She sure was annoying, though! BLONDIE! I'm wondering about evil Strawberry Shortcake, too. She kept acting disgusted towards men, but seemed to enjoy torturing women. Though, one of her victims was Wendy, so that speaks even less well for her. I may be reading too much into things, though. There's a few villains that are straight up classic muwahahha evil, and villains that have demented reasons for how they are and what they do, but I've noticed that Mashima really likes to make sympathetic villains, villains with motivations that make sense, and he likes to redeem villains. In Rave Master - Is your heart as cold as your ice, Gray? Don't play with a woman's heart! Speaking of tear-jerkers as I mentioned, the whole thing with Ultear. Jesus Christ. And after all that, she just turns time back a minute, but doesn't die at least (but will soon, probably.) Oh my god T__T. And when Gray sees her on the road... I wonder why she sent a note to Jellal and Meldy that she straight up died? And have not sure if it was intentional, but a woman walked by in the foreground that looked like Ur when old Ultear was talking to the announcer. I had to know that once Gray got shot through the head, that wasn't sticking. No way he dies. Shot through the chest (not heart,) this is anime, he can live, shot through a bunch of other places, this is anime, he could possibly live, shot through the head, he's dead, and that's not happening, lol. I am just so fucking glad the whole last part of the arc didn't get undone by time travel cheating/shenanigans, either from Ultear, or the Eclipse. Too much character development and struggle. Ultear just went back one minute, and destroying the Eclipse just sent time travelers home. I kept thinking the time traveler was Levy this whole time. You think it originally was and got changed to Lucy? We kept having those scenes of tormented Future Levy writing about the horrible things happening, and begging for help. At least we saw Present Levy writing later, so Mashima didn't forget about that. Maybe we were just seeing Future Levy, but she never was intended to travel back. Not sure. Carla's vision didn't end up amounting to much either, but then that ability seems to be mostly useless from what I can remember anyway. Future Lucy went to Heaven with the rest of Future Fairy Tail. T__T After all this, we never got to see what Arcadios was capable of. His battle with the executioners was off-screened, and he didn't end up fighting the dragons. Presumably he's pretty strong, since it was considered impressive that that squad took him down, and seemingly not a magic user, since he's just a knight for the kingdom? I think they said earlier that like 20% of the population doesn't have magic or something when that one evil guild was going to have a muggle genocide? So I would have liked to see what a strong non-magic user was capable of. Gajeel dressed up. Pumpkin punishment! Freed really doesn't like people teasing Laxus. Lol telling those girls to get their hands off him! Those women were all drawn really crappy and ugly too. And now he wants to dance with Laxus! So, I thought the Grand Magic Council was the only government, but there's also a Kingdom of Fiore? Well, maybe the Council just governs magic and guilds and the Kingdom is the regular government in charge of the country overall? But then the council guy said a war could start if the Council knew about the Eclipse. I'm so confused. Also, Black Clover has a regular King AND the Wizard King. King Clover reminded me more of the over-the-top cartoonish noble from Attack on Titan who was stuffing his face with cookies while the Titans were attacking though (King Clover had whores AND food,) and the Clover capital city looks like the walled cities from Attack on Titan. Surprised the council guy with the memory manipulation powers wiped the council members memories, and let Jellal go. I'd still be weary of him. Maybe the Baram Alliance would be more effective if they actually acted together instead of separately, like an actual alliance, or rather, grouped together? But, Oracian Seis breaking out is JUST what we need. Yeah it's not suspicious he happily went back to jail at all. So that creepy little scarecrow pet was Zeref's, not that big nose guy. Or maybe Zeref was working with that guild? Doubt it. Probably just spying and the pet was really working for him the whole time. I am and am not looking forward to the battle with Zeref. He needs to be dealt with, but the guy is scary and I can only imagine what shit he is going to cause. But, you tell 'em, Mavis!

People also said that Naruto was better than Bleach. Which, watching Shippuden now... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. I'm sure they put it above Fairy Tail, too. So yeah, I usually don't listen to people and decide for myself once I see the show. HxH was supposed to be god's gift to Shonen, but I ended up hating that. JoJo was hyped to hell and it met and even exceeded my expectations. Never know you'll react to something so best not to let what other people say about stuff affect you too much. I've mostly avoided spoilers, too. We'll see!

They need to dub them, damn it! I thought Funimation were completionists! Not so thorough after all, it seems. The Fairy Tail and Rave Master crossover, with the all original VAs, would be glorious... T__T

Yeah most of the couples were built up all series, so not sure why pairing them off is something to complain about. I don't agree with the arcs having bad endings, either. As usual, Elfie and Mochi are mistaken... about a great many things.

King Kai is telepathic, and Goku demonstrated that ability after training under him, so that's probably how he learned it. I don't think it's true that it never appears after that, though.

Putting the Universe at risk is a Super thing. Goku was a good, caring person in DB and Z and wasn't that bad of a dad, either. He was just marooned in space, sick, or dead a lot. Yuuki had faster reflexes. Hacking, electronics whiz, good at games, they kind of go hand in hand. Again, people making a big deal out of putting computers together when they are like LEGOs these days and probably even easier in Kirito's time. I know a guy who is good at all these things, doesn't even have anti-social problems of Kirito, and is a ladies man, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. Guess my friend is a Mary Sue, lul. Kirito still has social issues and is bad at actual physical activities. Remember his sparring session with Suguha? The thing of him being a wimpy nerd, he doesn't do nearly so well in real world fights. He's only a good swordsman in the game world. He improvised using a sword in GGO. Again, Chapter 16.5 isn't canon. Stop listening to Mochi's misinformation.

Actually he said it wasn't canon and sure as hell is not selling it cons. They probably did have sex, though. He kind of wants people to forget about it. But good luck with that. https://www.t-ono.net/sakura-con-2013/Reki-Kawahara-Panel-Sakura-Con-2013.html Q03: Is Chapter 16.5 part of the original storyline? (Chapter 16.5 is a pre-novelized chapter of Sword Art Online) KAWAHARA: I’m going to say this is a question that should normally be answered. I’m sure, like Kirito, who spent two years in a virtual world, how do you spend that time? I wrote chapter 16.5 in those days when I was sort of wondering. I would like to consider that topic to be disappeared quickly into the darkness of history.

Episode 2 - So after getting knocked out by Johnny Black, Kirito is back in the Underworld? Was he taken to the facility where the machine is? Why not just a regular hospital? And what happened with Johnny Black? Did he just run off? Is Asuna safe? This looks more realistic than the past game worlds? I guess it does to the characters, because I'm not seeing much difference. Even though this show is really pretty, does it look better than the past seasons? Interesting, so normally, Kirito doesn't remember his real life while in the Underworld, which seemed apparent in the first episode. But now he can't remember what he did in this world, either. There's Eugeo, 17 now, which I think is still how old Kirito is, and he doesn't seem to remember Kirito, either. Though, both seem to have slight hints of the past. Kirito actually considered this to be an alternate world, based on the realism. Pretty sure that's a bigger leap than it just being a really realistic game world. Hell, he could have been spirited away to some Amish-type community. or one of those tourist towns where people live and reenact living in the 1700s or whatever time period here they just NEVER break character. https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/ They never get ANY travelers? What the hell. What kind of bakery doesn't start baking until noon? I thought they started early in the morning. Unless Eugeo leaves so early they haven't even started baking yet? Ehh... Vecta huh? That sounds like an awfully specific name. I'm not sure the villagers just made up this spirit on their own. Can't travel because it's against the Taboo Index. Well, damn. I do hope Alice is still alive, though. OP kinds of gives that away, of course. Plus, that would just be too messed up and heartbreaking, even for this show. Sachi and Yuuki were bad enough! Unless that's a typo, the tree has been taken down by over 100,000 durability in the past 300 years. Not bad? I feel like there should be more physical damage than that for that many points removed, though. So that's why they're chopping down the tree. It's taking all of Terraria's blessings and preventing them from expanding their wheat fields? Terraria sounds like an Earth-based diety. So, it's like when you have a big plant sucking up all the nutrients from everything around it, but there seems to be some magic going on here, because even a tree that large wouldn't have that kind of widespread affect on the countryside. What does think in terms of your avatar instead of your physical body mean, exactly? I thought these games were supposed to be realistic, and this world especially so? No damage, and he missed. Second time he hits, and slight indentation, but still off the mark. Kirito, you missed the cut area twice. Hope you got it right with the rest of the swings, or what you did was REALLY pointless. Dragonbone Axe, so it's pretty powerful I take it, and it still is taking forever chop down that tree. No need to lock up because no one would steal it, because that's against the Taboo Index. Chilling. Hmm but chopping down that tree DOES seem futile. This guy is an ass but he has a point. A sword skill, in this world? Kirito did well there. Hmm. Why is a little girl a nun? Well, they made Eugeo chop away at that stupid tree. I guess they're ok with child labor in this world. Still, child nun... seems more inappropiate. They're the copies of souls of newborns that were raised in this world. What? What and WHAT? How do you even... look... it was quite a lot to take in last week, but how the hell do you copy someone's soul? Is this like the copy Kayaba made of himself? But, that wasn't this tech. So confusing. x_x A naked blue-haired girl in a tower. Ok. And she smiled. Not sure what she will have to do with anything. Nice ED. Not quite sure if that's the usual ED sequence or this is happening in the episode? Looks it could've been at first, but transitioned to more ED-y stuff. Hmm.

Jack's first battle with the demon drones. Now we know why Jack had them tip over those diggers and crash those pods and do other weird things. That dumbass beetle jumped and landed on his head lmao. The dogs watching LOL. Several uninterrupted minutes of pure badassery. They actually try to run away at that point LOL. Bathed in oil and holding that tattered banner... Jack the pure badass. Then Rothschild ruins it. Centuries? I think it would be millennia. Well, that's still technically centuries, too, lol. Did they ever give an actual figure of how many years it's been or when Aku first attacked when Jack was a child? Aku watches and is none too pleased, but still thinks he will win.

The dogs wagging their tails. LOL is that supposed to be like the A-team music? This is just like when the A-team make something ridiculous out of bullshit.

Is that Rothschild or Ruffschild?

Babbling/Rants is supposedly supposed to be the general discussion folder though. The thing is, each of us probably know someone in real life that will talk about those other topics, or there's dedicated communities for them. Not so much the case with anime. Well, I have friends that watch anime, but haven't talked to them about it in a while. Either way, pretty sure they aren't watching Toonami religiously. "Toonamite" is a lame troll term divised by Babblers. I believe "Toonami Faithful" would be official term for Toonami fans per Tom/Sara/Demarco and co. but it always came off kind of cringey to me. Besides that, the distant ancestor for the Toonami folder was ASMB's Action Discussion for ASA. There may have been Toonami forums for the old CN Toonami, but I don't remember ever using them. Not sure why. I remember reading the webcomic explaining the transition from Tom 2 to Tom 3, though. That was pretty cool. Aside from that, I don't want to take too much time on this board by regularly visiting every section. I gotta full DVR, huge game backlog, and Fairy Tail to catch up on, plus other animes I'd like to watch/finish/catch up on. Internet is a huge timesink and forums, comment sections etc are some of the worst offenders. By the way, were some posts deleted from this thread?

Yeah that could be it. Hard to get into his thinking there but you may be onto it. Those other heroes definitely deserve credit and respect for their fight against the Deep Sea King and the Sea Folk. I just hope that Saitama one day gets the credit he deserves and some of these shitty civilians get shown for the fools they are.

I wonder what would have delayed them from bringing Goku back. It makes sense, given how reprehensible Vegeta was and how he was kind of shittily reformed. I don't think any of Goku's other former enemies turned allies started off that bad. We do know that happened a lot.

Wow that guy's face is just like Saitama, haha. Eh I think he's just meant to be some otaku shithead kid from how he's drawn all off-model ugly, and acts like an entitled obnoxious shit. But, haven't seen Mob yet. Need to get around to that.

But only one shit disturber was being an asshole. I don't get why Saitama did that. Especially since he was upset about not getting credit before. He could still give credit to the other heroes and make sure they're taken care of without playing that role. And it is true the others made a difference by taking out Deep Sea King's minions and holding him off until Saitama got there.

No hero name on the form. When will Saitama actually start being called One-Punch Man?

Anal shots or angel shots? Oh he said Angel shots according to closed captions lmao. He almost hits a truck LOL. Nice meet up between Saitama and Mumen. Oh yeah this fortune teller LOL.
