sometimes coping means you watch (and enjoy, to varying degrees) sao1 and sao2 in less than 4 days

i dont think reki kawahara has ever played a videogame

probably not, no

i dont know which arc i hated more, fairy dance or phantom bullet

fairy dance is vile in many ways, phantom bullet just has weird ideas about guns and a lot of butt shots, both screw asuna out of her screentime and agency

i think im more disappointed in phantom bullet bc it could have just been aggressively boring but then had to throw in a creepy rapist

again

true

I have so many opinions about SAO

the gun gale online arc peaked with the introduction of DEATH GUN and was all downhill from there

kit! : extensive research into the bullshit numbers he threw out for the first SAO game has told me he has played exactly one video game, and that video game was everquest

because SAO's day one sales were exactly the same as Everquest's

sao3 is peak sao and I love it like... 75% ironically and 25% unironically

it's also terrible

but like, it's so good

gonna be real, part of the reason ive been marathoning is to get to the movie and s3

I haven't seen the movie but it seems like it's about larping so i really should

also watching the dub weirdly makes it more charming in general

it reminds me of being 14 and thinking tales of symphonia was the coolest fucking thing ever
