Adaptations of laid-back series such as these are much, much, much safer for emotional investment, since one need not worry about overcompression of plot to fit a tight broadcast schedule-- there's not enough plot for it to matter! Incidentally, this is yet another manga that I've been following...

I'm really glad that this series got an adaptation to stimulate discussion, since I've been itching to find someone to discuss with since I started following it in early '13. It's also nice to see the original work's existence being recognized by the mainstream. Personally, I liked this manga a...

Hello I am new here. I like anime. Please make me NAKAMA.

This is fairly moderate by CIA standards. Let us recall, for example, the Nicaraguan Contras, and the Somoza dynasty in that same country; Noriega in Panama, the butchers in El Salvador, Suharto in Indonesia, Pinochet in Chile and the Shah in Iran... Anyone who still thinks that "the Agency" is...

I am of the opinion that the sky is magenta, that the Earth is flat, that the blood of unwed virgins are my God-given property, and that an intravenous administration of 10 percent solution of potassium cyanide at 20ml/day is beneficial to your health. I am sorry if I sound like a jerk, but...

In defense of twocows' view, here's a little reductio ad absurdum analogy: Jack and Jim are siblings living with an abusive parent, who provides for them as shelter a run-down, cold, and musky shack that is entirely too small for even one person to live in, let alone two. For food, the brothers...

A central tenet of the scientific approach to reality is the idea that 'wishing something to be true does not make it so.' While it is true that the world would be a cooler place if dreams were indeed messages sent from the afterlife, it is insufficient grounds for thinking that to be actually...

The story is a well-mixed cocktail of ESP, aliens, 60s music, and late Showa-era nostalgia. You're in for a magnificent tale that describes the passionate struggle of a group of men and women (and, at one point, a transvestite,) who lead the forces of justice against a colossal evil. It's a...

Be embraced by the flames of darkness and perish! Meanwhile-- why does it seem that more and more people are posting here (i.e., JE) as though they're on an imageboard? I've seen at least four instances of this within the last fifteen minutes and I feel that I must make myself heard when I say...

i must say i liked kirito better when he was an angsty-seclusive hero, as opposed to his current aloof, leap-before-you-look type of hero. for this reason, i wish they did more episodes in aincrad
