I'm not sure what you mean by that.- Your suspension of disbelief will be brutally tested
It's funny, though, how fast they're whipping through the thing. Some people on CR are disappointed it won't overflow to a second season, although I'm thinking they may have one anyway, assuming they follow the other novels.There's still like half a season left.
At 2PM to be precise.You can watch it on Crunchyroll on Saturdays.
No, not like, shut off the servers - I do recall the battery thing. I mean like, they could just go straight to Akihiko Kayaba and tell him to shut it down.blkmage (post: 1589074) wrote:The authorities don't shut it down because it will literally kill everyone trapped inside.
Ah, ok. gotcha. What's the most notable thing that comes to your mind with respect to this story?Suspension of disbelief refers to your ability to willingly suspend or put aside your disbelief at the implausibility of certain aspects of the narrative. For example, we suspend our disbelief that giant bipedal robots are a feasible military weapon because even though it doesn't make sense physically, giant robots are pretty cool.

But why would a guy obviously willing to kill thousands of people shut down SAO since he was clearly aware of the potential ramifications.ABlipinTime (post: 1589086) wrote:No, not like, shut off the servers - I do recall the battery thing.

Oh dear. Well, I *was* aware that the novels are just fan-translated at the moment, so I wasn't really expecting superb editing in the first place, LOL]I'd really suggest going with the anime if you're interested.[/quote]blkmage (post: 1589163) wrote:I'm not sure if his narration is that bad, but the translation and editing definitely is.
Interesting. I actually tend to prefer reading anyway, *especially* if said book came first (since, minus a few rare cases, I'm a pretty firm "go-with-the-source-material-first-when-possible" type; always have been, and suspect I always will). That said, however, since each of you have checked out both the novels and the anime and are agreeing on this, I'll go ahead and trust you guys on it and check out the anime first (though, of course, if I like what I see I'll still read the novels as well ). Thanks for the advice!blkmage (post: 1589163) wrote:I'd also suggest going the anime route, at least for the equivalent of the first major arc.
Why? I'll admit, being an uber-awesome rogue is kinda stereotypical (although it makes more sense for such a person to win the game), but it seems possible... well, at least until he's fighting bosses singlehandedly. Anyone else notice in that last one (9) that the boss shrunk alittle in size?blkmage (post: 1589109) wrote:Kirito

Going from your descriptions, it seems fairly lighthearted and episodic, so is this the kind of thing to watch when you're tired of beat-you-over-the-head-with-suspense-and-such shows like FMA?
Also, how "clean" of a show is it? I would read a review, but there aren't any here. Just going on google images of the name, it seems really fan service-y. Exactly how bad does that get, and is there any other objectionable content?
Also, are the novels officially translated into english? I would much prefer to read them along with watching.

[spoiler]3: Bit disappointed the Saint Nic fight wasn't shown but it wasn't really about that.
4: I could have done without the bits of fanservice but a very sweet episode.
5: Griselda looked like a cool person. Mostly Kirito & Asuna yes.
6: Interesting conclusion though I didn't follow everything well because doing other stuff on the computer and trying to read subs don't mix well. XP Some surprisingly interesting/well thought out stuff about marriage.
7: Filler, but the dragon was cool and that sunset/sunrise was gorgeous.
8: The way they showed the cooking was neat. Kuradeel is a crazy person. Confirms 7 was filler because the new sword is nowhere to be seen.
9: [SIZE="1"]I know how this will end, it's in the opening.[/SIZE] Ha, nevermind. Very cool episode and yay vindicated filler.
10: I did not expect Kirito to lose the duel, 'twas refreshing actually. Yup, Kuradeel's definitely nuts. I wonder if the system recognises self defense or if Kirito and Asuna now have red and orange floaty head diamonds (I have no idea what those things are called) respectively.[/spoiler]
I can't remember if it mentions this in the anime or not but it is legal to PK "Red" criminals, which is anyone who has ever PK'd, and not become a criminal.GeneD (post: 1589860) wrote:[spoiler]10: I did not expect Kirito to lose the duel, 'twas refreshing actually.
