anime

The directors cut makes most of it better

I still hated the politics arc

subaru being a crybaby only lasted 1 episode in the recut

I should probably just watch the anime but I heard the source material is good too

Just watch the anime

You fucking nignog

I watched s1

I just liked it so much that I kinda wanted to read it before I got into s2 anime

The Web Novel is good, but it's also kind of a mess if you want to read everything

There are lost of cannon/non-cannon side stories and asides

so you can watch Subaru suddenly decide he doesn't want to get in Emilia's business and help her anymore

wait are you saying rem doesn't get cucked in the directors cut

pog?

no she does

to death

She's cucked in S2

Not S1

rem dies episode had my favorite ending by far

Which one?

She dies in a lot of them

the ice castle one probably

Insert song

I assume

the one where emilia's familiar goes full lovecraftian horror

>lovrcraftian horror He grows big

Big is scary

it just reminded me of it

apparently you can buy SAO Progressive in japanese on american amazon for $40 per volume

swimsuit version?

I hope they redo all the in-volume illustrations with her wearing a swimsuit

meanwhile the first 6 volumes combined costs about the same price in japan

I assume the swimsuit version i special on top of Amazon prices being bad in general for this kind of thing

the prices seem random

i would never buy stuff like this from amazon anyway

if I want to get japanese light novels I'll get them from honto

rule of thumb for english manga/LNs, is you should buy when prices are $5-$6 a volume

if you want to own them physically

about $7 on honto for first volume

yes thats the idea

YES

The fire rises

Well, the fire did rise, about a year ago

Absolutely pissed

Rewatched the entirety of the anime with a really long name that has snafu in the title just to find out that the final season isn’t complete yet

Can’t believe I’ve baited myself into waiting for a second show

rusp it just started airing

I just watched that

Crazy

I remembered more of that show than I thought

Or rather

It was one of those things where I remembered it as I rewatched it

you are watching it as it airs now?

I guess I am

I found it online

I didn’t realize it was still airing until I got to that episode

Spoilers!

I am waiting for Iroha to win in the end because it would show that she finally grew as a character

I would pick her over the others

Why do the side girls even exist

It’s very clear that one of the main ones is gonna win right

Unless I’m being baited

He's only ever shown explicit interest in the trap

And the teacher

I just watched it so I would know

You saw the ovas too?

Oh

Too late

Don’t care

You rewatched it all just to quit

What

No I’m waiting for the rest to air

Then there's the ovas

Those don’t matter probably

They're like side stories

Yeah

But I feel like a few main episodes didn't make much of a difference
