Huh, pretty sure I'm a human being. Or else I just look like one.

SAO is highly overrated. Overall, I'd say its mediocre at best, but there are a few redeeming qualities. It brings up good discussions about future technologies.

Spoilers - Opinion on SAO and SAO 2:

Hidden Content:

SAO

Aincrad before Asuna romance: Good. Death MMO plot explained, solid world building. Little bit of harem crap, but compensates with strong stories of Kirito's first guild and Laughing Coffin introduction.

Aincrad after Asuna romance: Acceptable. Asuna is badass, wraps up Aincrad storyline.

Alfhiem: FUCK NO. Badass Asuna becomes helpless attempted rape victim. Awkward incest plotline. Only redeeming part is cool aerial battle between Kirito and Eugene.

Swimming Recap OVA: Pointless fan service.

Whale OVA: Decent. Solid standalone story about MMO raid.

SAO 2

Gun Gale Online: Good. Return of Laughing Coffin, strong female protagonist, solid character development.

Alfheim Excalibur: Decent. Solid standalone story about MMO raid.

Aincrad Sleeping Knights: Good. Emotional story about terminally ill gamers and exploration of merging virtual world with reality.

You're way more forgiving of SAO than me.

Hidden Content:

But I still don't see how you can consider the post-Asuna romance arc to be acceptable. I thought it was terrible especially how the final villain was handled. Kirito asked him why he locked up over 1000 players in SAO for 2 years and the villain's response was, 'I forgot'.

I forgot?

Are you kidding me? How can you forget something like that.

I felt like punching my computer screen when he said that.

House of Cards Season 1:

Hidden Content:

Holy shit Frank actually killed Peter. That was cold. I mean, I knew he was a sociopath from the very first scene but still. :#

Because I've seen way worse.

Since they just finished and I can judge them as a whole, I can now properly recommend the following as worth watching:

Parasyte: The Maxim

Death Parade

Shirobako

Maria The Virgin Witch


I'm also going to include Gourmet Girl Graffiti for Nissa. Its a cute, relaxed cooking anime.

[Visions of Khas]

Impressive. Most impressive.

[Nissa]

I've been watching a lot of these lately. There's nothing I like better than people discussing their opinions of things. Most things, really.

[The_Blade]

That was really cool VoK.

So I started watching Netflix's Daredevil. Damn! That series is well done. Marvel definitely got this one right. The series is a huge uppercut towards "Arrow" (Where I'm up to date and now hate all the characters).

[Nissa]

Sometimes I am a mature adult.

Other times, I'm watching this video at three in the morning.

[TheEconomist]

dat dude on the left spend days perfecting his facial expressions and timing.

Well done, sir.
