    I'm mixed about it though

    I wish they had followed through on at least one of their deaths, the fact that both lived cheapens how much we hated Slaine from the season finale.

    After all the hype for Sword Art Online, I gave it a shot - I really did. I got through 15 episodes, and even that was kind of hard for me.

    Is it even worth continuing if I didn't enjoy it that much thus far? I'd give it a 6/10 (slightly above average) based on the first 15 episodes.

    Glad Aldnoah.Zero is back, but I'm disappointed too. Should have followed through.

    Question:
    How did they get that Aldnoah drive working again?

    I've picked up Noragami on Netflix. We'll see how it goes.

    Stop now you've seen the best Sao has to offer.

    Aldnoah Zero, Tokyo Ghoul, and Kuroko No Basket returning. Parasyte and Yowamushi Pedal reaching climaxes. Death Parade looking pretty damn interesting and promising. Good times for anime.

    I think the love for this series has more to deal with the MMO community?

    I love SAO and Log Horizon.

    Sony makes a cartoonish like anime called Seven Deadly Sins. Perfect amount of action vs story vs comedy! An older one I like is Infinite Stratos. I am just now catching up on anime being long out the game so maybe these two are a bit old. :D

    Log Horizon, SAO I like from my MMO perspective. Ofcourse Attack of the Titans.

    I'm trying to get into Nanatsu No Taizai, but just haven't had time to fit it in. May have to binge watch later.

    My best guess on th drive is the power is in the blood. I think they said before that's how it works. So the princess' blood that was splattered on Inaho made it work somehow. I assume they scraped that blood off him and are still using it somehow? Only sense I could make of it

    I love it. I thought it was gonna be a little childish because the animation looks a bit, how to say, roundish, kiddish? But it's awesome so far!

    Natnasu is pretty awesome. Sleeper hit for sure. Too bad none of the major fansubbers sub it so we could get it earlier/better subs.

    I tried to watch a show called Eyeshield 21 which is about American Football, but I am finding that I enjoy magical football less than I enjoy magical basketball(Kuroko). Either that or the show's just not as good. The overdramatic running, passing, and blocking just kinda turns me off.

    Saying you watched and enjoyed Cowboy Bebop and Attack on Titan is like saying you enjoyed Pulp Fiction and the Godfather. Samurai Champloo is made by the same guy that made Cowboy Bebop. I personally didn't enjoy it nearly as much as CB, but many people love it.

    If I were gonna suggest an anime in general it would be Neon Genesis Evangelion. I loved it, and it's on many peoples anime Mt.Rushmore. Spice and Wolf is one I personally loved, but it is a major departure from standard animes plot wise.

    As for newer anime's Kill la Kill was one I loved, but it has a humor and style that most certainly isn't for everybody. Akame ga Kill was really good too, although extremely depressing.
