    Another point I want to bring up about the anime: the worlds. The first season's world feels...alright: it shows quite a few characters with their own goals and plots, even if most are just one-episode throwaways that don't seem to build up to anything that'll be carried on or show characters really developing. The second season's world, however, seems like it's populated by FIVE CHARACTERS: Kirito, Asuna, Sugu, green-hair dude, and the villain. WHAT IS WORLD BUILDING? By having so few characters acting out the plot, it feels like the world is tiny, and thus the events unfolding in the story lose a lot of weight.

    And I've said the same to those who've argued to finish the series before I even give an opinion. It's as if they think my opinion is void just because I haven't seen every little part of it.

    Read up here.

    I don't think so low of it to say the series is trash, but it is definitely overrated. It's worth maybe a 6/10 for me.

    I refuse to explain how to make sarcasm actually funny.

    1.Plums - Instant +1 for Gurren Lagann. The various shades of colors going on makes it really easy on the eyes. The text effectively reflects on the series, and blends with the mecha. Additional effects serve to make the image feel complete to me.

    2.Amethyst - Nice use of light and darkness. Colors really pop out to me. The play on sharpness and blurs also are well done, as seen with the text against the blurring corners.

    3. What? - Really like the colors , though some of the blurring seems overdone. The text looks nice, and the image is well contrasted against the background, but the sides look a little bit dead.

    Spoilers abound, obviously, since I'm going to basically going to go over why I'm not feeling like finishing the anime, even though I've already decided I will to please some friends who are basically yelling at me to finish it, and to give a more complete opinion of the anime (not the manga, which I haven't read, nor do I plan to)

    I finished the first season already: decent, but the romance (after thinking it through) was honestly written terribly, and it had a lot of throwaway plot points that didn't build Kirito as any more likable...not to mention, he's a terribly boring protagonist so far. Asuna's my favorite character so far, but still, she's linked to the rushed romance plot point. And the whole parenting thing between her and Kirito towards Yui? Terrible. I was in disbelief they were actually going with that plot. Not to mention the pacing makes no sense to me: it may say that they were in the game world for 2 years, but it feels like we've had maybe 2 days worth of actual character development.

    I'm currently on episode 21. The second season sucks so far. YOU DON'T TAKE AWAY THE WEIGHT OF DYING IN REALITY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO UP THE ANTE OF A DRAMATIC SERIES. And the whole semi-incest-but-not-really romance sub plot with Sugu? Built up over the second season from it's beginning, AND RESOLVED IN LIKE 10 MINUTES!? I keep being told to just finish it cause the last 2 episodes will, apparently, "make up for it all," but I think that's a terrible excuse.

    Oh well, at least the animation is excellent, and I like some of the more humorous scenes, but when it tries to be dramatic...it falls flat to me.

    I think another big reason that this game going multiplatform is ok, is that with so many of the spin-off titles, like Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep, those titles were exclusive to a platform, and were pretty much the only Kingdom Hearts titles on such platforms. It's a common complaint of my friends who are also fans: having to buy so many systems just to keep up with playing the entire series. I know it would be impossible for Kingdom Hearts III to be exclusive to anything but the PS4, but it's a point I wanted to bring up with at least the spin-offs of the series.

    Oh yeah that. Maybe I'll try it out. How's the combat? That basically decides how much I like an MMO (which generally ends with I don't like it)

    Oh jeez, I actually remember that. Back when they had Ani-Monday or whatever it was called. Pretty sure Aniplex own the rights now, at least for the English dub.

    I don't despise going back to older levels. It's one of the reasons I love Metroid/Castlevania style games, but Devil May Cry doesn't feel like that to me. I kept expecting new environments to go into, since that's pretty much how it was for 1 and 3. It didn't feel like I was really exploring those levels that were recycled in 4, or getting a totally different perspective: just going backwards with Dante instead (which was, admittedly, a lot more fun than Nero.) Maybe if they only did like one or two of the first half's levels, but not the entirety of the first half.

    But it wasn't necessary for them to reboot the series, was it? They could have just let it die down, and make DmC it's own series. That way it wouldn't have to be compared to the originals, and instead it could venture in much more different and unique ways.

    Speaking of Korra, I can't help but get irked when I hear some of my friends say it's better than ATLA

    I just hate how, with 4, they literally recycled the levels for the halfway point. But I do agree with what you said here:

    My favorite depiction of Dante, and with the coolest weapons for him, as well as the funniest dialogue. The way he's just so chillaxed about everything, cracking jokes at giant demons, and especially when he gets Lucifer...perfect. For me, Donte does nothing for me as far as entertaining or badass go. He seems way too try-hard, but to each his own.

    Just remember, it's all Capcom's fault

    I really think you'd have a lower opinion of the game after playing through DMC3. I'm not saying the new DMC game is terrible, in fact it seems to be quite good, but for a DMC fan like me (I own all 4 of the pre-reboot games), it's impossible to not see how the new game fails (lack of experimentation in combat, change in general tone, unnecessary cosmetic shifts, making Devil Trigger what it became, changing the music, etc.)

    tl;dr: I agree, it should have just been an original IP instead of a reboot.
