Don't really watch TV anymore, myself. Only currently airing cable shows I watch are Adventure Time and Korra. And Parks and Rec.

But other than that, I'm pretty much a "Download and Watch" man, and that's generally with anime. Though I'll probably watch Little Battlers eXperience when it comes to America in (supposedly) August. If the dub's bad, I'll watch for comedy. If it's good, I'll legit watch. But either way, we'll get the game if it does well (which, considering the anime on that channel, it will), and that's enough for me.

So is it supposed to be a mystery who Death Gun is?

Because this adaptation sure isn't doing a very good job at that.


...Unless it's a bait and switch. In that case, bravo.

What's the difference between watching a show in legit mode and in comedy mode?

Is it posture? Concentration? Dedication?

Watch a good mystery show instead, Pokey.

Also as for satirical looks at news and so on I'll stick with Mock the Week.

Well, in comedy mode I'll probably have popcorn, avoid drinking something in case of fits of laughter, and I'll be bracing myself for the storm of terribleness because I'll know that they butchered a great piece of work.

In legit mode I just watch.

I see. Thank you for teaching me your ways, master.

Also A/Z Episode 3 had a satisfying ending.

Why are they having their bangs under the visor. That makes no sense, it's like they're consciously trying to limit their field of vision. Also I swear these two are twins or something.

Harassment nurse was fun, however. c:

SAO doesn't have to explain that to you. SAO doesn't have to tell you anything.

^ Didn't watch that when it aired. But might now.

I do approve of Shino's delicious choice of casual wear.



Wait.

The mysterious person who is Death Gun in the last part of the episode literally uses his IRL name for his video streaming account. Wow.

I'm not ridiculing the character for using his IRL name. :P

The thing is that the show just visibly told us who he big mysterious bad guy is. We, the audience, now know who the bad guy is, and Kirito hasn't even entered the game yet.


Then again, who knows, might still be twists awaiting.















Sorry Netto.

That makes sense, but I was completely joking.

Don't use your IRL name for video streams, kids. You're already giving them A/V, so finding you will be a snap. Also, your name isn't catchy, it won't net you viewers and people will likely forget about you. Don't even try.

What if you have a really catchy name?

Like Bob Dole. Or Jesse Cox. Or Kiragaya Kazuto.

Well, if you were named Bob Dole, people might watch you for the novelty of watching a guy named Bob Dole do non-Bob Dole related things.

If you're name was Jesse Cox, I would assume that many people would tune in, only to be disappointed and leave.

If your name is Kirigaya Kazuto and you happen to be white, you'll be known as "That Weeaboo Channel". Which might actually net you some views.

As it turns out, Jesse Cox has over half a million subscribers, earned by playing video games and making lewd jokes while chuckling to himself.

I love it.

It's funny because Kirito always wears black. Snicker snicker.

He cracked a joke about blood-to-blood contact.

I'm done.

Watch something better Pokey. Talking about a crappy show defiles this thread.

We've talked about a lot of crappy shows

Let's talk about a show that isn't so bad then.

You just can't win. Let's just agree at how horrible this series is and move on.

Why not talk about something better, like cute girls doing cute things?

Actually I'd rather talk about it in the official thread than cluttering this thread with SAO talk :P

Something that we unanimously think is not so bad?

Hm...how about Mirai Ni-

Nope, can't even do it. Not even as a joke.

But I have to uphold the status quo!
Every Saturday night, we all get together and talk really cynically about SAO. So we hate the show but still sort of love it. It's a recurring theme.

...Even if it might ruin you mentally. Actually, if you die an early death, it's most likely our fault.


Also, pff, this thread, having any kind of quality standard?





For the record, I'm a-OK with the slow pace they've got going right now. It's refreshing.
Heck, if this wasn't SAO I'd think it was quirky and interesting.

The real problem is that you get too defensive and try to run to its aid. You need to just not worry about what people think about it, because clearly Reki doesn't. He just writes because he likes it, and you should do the same for watching. Just relax and enjoy it. And stop going into SAO threads.
