  1. Just when I thought that I was only seeing incest-y vibes because the internet had conditioned me to put "Japan" and "incest" together, Sword Art Online actually does have some cousin/cousin crushing go on. -_- # #

    3. @scribus The real spoiler is that you're ultimately wasting your time on that show

      1. @northernnarwhal But so many people were talking about it that I had to give it a look! And then it started off kind of mediocre, but showed promise of maybe getting better, and ended up actually getting worse, and now I just have to see how far it goes!

        1. @scribus Generally the people who dislike anime to begin with will watch a show like SAO because it's popular in order to see what the hubbub is. Following this, they'll be able to easily pinpoint a lot of the awful tropes of anime within it, therefore validating their vindication of anime despite becoming invested in what is essentially the Twilight of anime.

          1. @northernnarwhal I don't know about "Twilight of Anime," exactly. I'm halfway through and they have yet to romanticize abusive relationships, after all.

            1. @scribus I'm looking at it more broadly. Flat characters, cheesy dialogue, and instead of sparkly vampires you get sparkly pixies.

              1. @northernnarwhal Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

                1. @rednorth Your pony's backstory still interests me.

                2. @rednorth The second half of the first season was pretty awful too. Even the first half of the first season was mediocre at best.

              3. @northernnarwhal Aww, you mean a main villain who in the end revealed his reasoning to have been little more than "for the lulz, whatevs, idk" doesn't count as quality?

                1. @scribus burn.

                  Saturday, 21-Feb-15 22:03:26 UTC from web
                2. @scribus Yes because WHO NEEDS CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS THOSE ARE FOR NERDS

                  Saturday, 21-Feb-15 22:05:12 UTC from web
    4. @scribus despite common opinion i actually like SAO (the first season at least)

      Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:49:25 UTC from web
    5. @scribus the second season is a shameless cash grab

      Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:50:03 UTC from web
      1. @rednorth Maybe I should just get drunk and re-watch Evangelion again.

        Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:53:22 UTC from web
        1. @scribus WATCH THE MOVIES

          Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:53:55 UTC from web
          1. @ceruleanspark The old ones or the new Rebuild ones?

            Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:54:10 UTC from web
            1. @scribus The rebuilds. Especially 3.33

              Saturday, 21-Feb-15 21:54:40 UTC from web
              1. @ceruleanspark They're on my list. Just... not on Netflix's, AFAIK.
