| Great, a new 2/10 anime! I had so much fun with this for all the wrong reasons :D |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| Good new ! I liked the first part. :) |
 |
| Not sure if I'm going to watch this though. I guess I'll watch this eventually for "entertainment". Luna_ said: This thread will be moderated and trolling/abuse will not be tolerated. For some reason, I knew this one is coming for the sake of this thread. |
 |
| So it's Kiroto now. |
| I can't wait, the teaser looks good and Sinon looks amazing, I wonder if they are covering 2 arcs or 1 arc only |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| Yes! I'm hyped once again :D I hope the sequel of Accel World will come :)) |
 |
| I just hope they don't butcher GGO arc like what they did the past season. I hope that it is watchable at least. Still the same staff so I guess the writing and animation won't improve at all. Sigh A-1.. Spare Sinon please. |
| Well here we go again. I haven't read the LN for GGO yet but might be fun. Dat sniper rifle. |
 |
| Hm, I should try to finish the first season then. |
| I had fun with SAO despite how trashy it was, let‘s see how this turns out. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
Luna_ said: This thread will be moderated and trolling/abuse will not be tolerated. Rofl. On topic, great news! Was waiting for GGO for so long, guess the producer was waiting for it to be the new year present XD Ciao 2013, and hello 2014 :3 |

| Jojolion anime when? |
| It'll probably air in the Summer Season. |
  |
| I'm not sure will I watch this. Probably I will just to see how this will go. The first season definitely had missused potential. |
| Will watch it for old times sake and I look forward to seeing how they adapt GGO from the Light Novel. :) |
| Oh, awesome Sinon and some Trap Kirito. This should be fun. But with A-1 adapting this, I'm not going to like it leaving out half of the entire story by leaving out the crucial internal monolouges that gives us insight to Sinon. And I'm going to have another bout of extreme cynicism and loss of faith in humanity with the immense hatred the series is going to incur from certain segments of the regular anime watching community. |

10/10 for Sawashiro Miyuki alone. |
 |
| Oh boy. The first one was "entertaining" so yeah, I'll watch this as well. |
| Kiroto , hmm hmm hmm , my first laugh of 2014. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| I knew it sounded like Miyuki Sawashiro from the PV, her English sounded different and I wasn't so sure it was her. |
| Why did I laugh so hard at Kiroto? |
 |
| Nice, I'm looking forward to it. |
 |
If I wasn't already exited for SAO alone, this just makes it even better. |
| Everyone knew that a second season would come. It is such a big surprise./sarc Anyway, thank god that we have ufotable's FSN remake.Now I could care less about what masochists post in SAO 2nd's forums. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I'm waiting for Akame ga Kiru anime announcement |
| .. |
| If it's more like the Aincrad arc, I'm really looking forward to it. If it's like the Fairy arc, I'm going to fucking drop it. |
 |
| Here's hoping A1 delivers in the action/gunfight scenes. Found them exciting even in text form. I'm sucker for sniper rifles. |
| Wow, good news. I'll be looking forward to this |
| The first season was pretty disappointing, enjoyed it nonetheless Here hoping they will do a better job adapting the LN |

| uhhmmmm, just a question for all who have read the novel, how's the writing on this "GGO" thing ?? is it gonna be better, stagnant, or even worse ?? please don't tell me there will be any damsel in distress, and over-excessive amount of romance bullshit |

Reverb_Shock said: It has nothing to do with either.Sort of.If it's more like the Aincrad arc, I'm really looking forward to it. If it's like the Fairy arc, I'm going to fucking drop it. |
| Lolololol .. im actually excited cause the characters look pretty good and its a fps. ;) |
 |
| oh god no.. why would they make another season anyway? the story already finished. I don't think it will be decent. |
| Man 2014 is full of suprises xD looking foward to it. |
| The whole gun thing sounds kind of retarded imo. I get the feeling the author is just going to do a version for every game genre. |
| Neat. If S1 didn't give enough ammo to the people who bash this to oblivion. Be prepared for a whole lot more. |
Shounen93 said: Yes the story is already finished.oh god no.. why would they make another season anyway? the story already finished. I don't think it will be decent. Thats why there are 9 more volumes... |
| Eh. I have so many mixed feelings on this. As much as I enjoyed SAO when it was airing, when the Fairy Arc started, I admit I got fairly bored. It was the same formula over and over again. Not to mention that Kirito is unrealistically OP, which makes for a rather boring main character. I haven't read the light novel, so I don't know how this arc will play out. Without a doubt, hard core fans will enjoy this one, but I don't know. I feel as though they should have let the fandom have a bit of a breather. I'll still watch it, but I'm not sure if it's going to live up to the first SAO. |
 |
| The thing that bother me is that they still play MMO even though it is full on conspiracy. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| It was bound to happen sooner or later. This will probably air on Spring at best, Summer at worst. Either way, it will probably air at the same time as Mahouka(assuming it's 2-cour). MAL is going to explode when that happens. Should be fun. |
