OwlChemist81 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I know I'm most likely in the minority here, but I'm down for more SAO on Toonami. Hopefully it gets a pretty good timeslot, like before midnight. Making it a medieval fantasy hour at 1 AM leading-in to Black Clover wouldn't be a horrible idea either, though. Hell, in the current climate, it might even get a weeknight run. The question is, would they re-acquire SAO I & II to re-air them on weeknights? There's almost no blood in it so it would be fine for 8:30 PM... Edited September 10, 2018 by OwlChemist81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's supposed to be your everyman who got trapped inside the game and was the only sane person while people were dying... but that's largely all he is.

I think the annoying thing is the girls don't.. MOVE ON. And find other boys to like. ....like normal girls would do. They just kind of become his permanent harem members and lose interest in other guys. They could at least toss Klein a drunken pity fuck. Once the harem MC picks a girl, that's supposed to be the end of the harem. You can't keep doing harem antics with a guy that's in a committed relationship. Plus they're meeting thousands of guys in these online worlds they play in. Maybe give one of them a shot? A good example of this is Shuffle, one of the rare harem anime where the guy picks a girl. But he picks a girl at the end, and then the show ends. Because once you pick a girl, your harem show is over. At least Shuffle knew that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 It's the SAO movie Ordinal Scale. They're using augmented reality stuff, like an advanced version of Google Glass. They fight monsters and play video games in real life instead of inside a game. People not using it don't see anything, just people acting like weirdos and slashing at air. Also, it's horrible. Incomprehensible plot. They gain ridiculous athletic abilities despite the fact that this stuff is supposed to be happening in the real world. The movie just kind of forgets that they're not in SAO and shouldn't be jumping 20 feet in the air and doing flippy flips and whatnot. The main villain is just awful. SAO seasons 1 and 2 are way better than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAO seasons 1 and 2 are way better than this. FYI the movie's tech is based on augmented reality, which is a real thing that is happening now, and that only got really popular in 2013. I know. I had to work with people who were researching it that year. It's animation that you can see on a phone screen and now on helmets, but that's it. Your real hand can't touch it, and you can only see this make-believe thing on that screen. It doesn't all of a sudden give you superpowers.

It's not funny, it's just gross and uncomfortable. Literally all those girls except for his virtual daughter and AIDS lesbian are romantically interested in him. It seems like a character trait that gets added by default whenever a new female character gets made. "If we get married, you'd be the one to change your name!" Yeah, that's a sentence that a straight girl says to her female friend in an entirely platonic way. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
