I think I mentioned this before, but I'll say it again.
This scene in SAO reminds me of a scene in a niche, recently released Nippon Ichi game 'Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk'. Nobody has played this but it a generally well-received dungeon crawler and, well, it has a 'rape scene'. The game is effectively a character study of a caustic 30-something disabled gay witch who has had a troubled and traumatic past. The sexual assault scene - a flashback - does not actually visually show anything, but makes it clear what happens mostly through snippets of text/voice. The scene is delivered through the viewpoint of the woman and is portrayed as extremely gross and demeaning. They could have easily added a visual CG, or fanservice, but they did not and the moment is better for it. The scene isn't really used for character development or growth, more just part of the puzzle surrounding the enigmatic main character and exploring the lowest point in her life.
Compare that to SAO which uses yesterday's gratuitous scene with female characters we barely know which acts almost solely for the 'development' of Eugeo's character. Just, no tact at all.

Well, the good news is we probably won't have a SAO double parter for the rest of this part of the season.
When it returns for the second half tho...well we'll see.

So I feel asleep during HxH, probly it was going too slow and I was tired and drinking.
I rewatched it just now and it's nice to see familiar characters from previous arcs once again. Also, I learned Hisoka doesn't watch TV...like, at all. Finally, Killua has another sibling. I wonder how he will factor in.

Procedurally generated. ColdSun is quite good at it. Issue is there's apps people can use to solve them.
It's a little over half the total run time of Shippuden. Aired weekly without a single break it's just about exactly five years worth of episodes.
Which is more or less the same time as it took the manga to go through the arc.
Ceasar ate the gas gas fruit which means he could create and manipulating any type of gas he used to do stuff like suck out the oxygen in an area and suffocate
He's powerful problem is caesar isn't great as an actual fighter
Anyone else cringe when Shinobu got her toenail shot off? I'm fine with most violence but anything involving fingers and toes is too much for me.
I now have time for a hour nap or hour of twitch now.
Well at least for 11 more weeks.
I'd do something if I was any good with photoshop, but here is the official promo art of the arc
My personal headcanon was that If Roshi had died by exerting too much energy, it would have been essentially a natural death unable to be reversed by the dragon balls. Of course, there are lots of holes you can poke into that, ie what happened with Guru on Namek and the Super Dragon Balls being able to undo that anyway..

Thanks. A lot of anime promo art is vertical poster style which isn't ideal for banners but this works well enough.
I hate to say it, but that might've been the perfect duo of SAO episodes in terms of raw reactions. The fact we got so angry at the episode BEFORE the infamous one was nuts, yet just the beginning of what would happen, especially since we didn't have a week to let episode 9 sink in.
*gets letter in mail from Charter*
Oh god, another letter begging me to get their TV back?
"Hey, so starting May 1st, your apartment complex will now provide you with free basic cable & internet, so you can get one free receiver, modem, & router for no charge"
....well damn, guess I can get TV again & don't have to worry about streaming Toonami anymore....and holy crap, maybe this means I don't gotta pay for $65/mo for internet if it's included with my rent now.

How much do you use your internet for big downloads or gaming/streaming? Free basic internet might not be enough from my experience.
Though at the end of the day, free is free.
Streaming is mainly for big events like Nintendo Directs, Toonami nights, etc. I almost never use Netflix unless I have someone over or I'm in the rare mood to do so. But I also think I actually have their basic internet package already, which gets me 100mbps+. I'll go in & confirm, but from what I'm seeing, they state their basic package is the speed I'm currently getting.
Even better, it seems they changed their channel package line-up & I can get FXX AND Cartoon Network together without having to pay extra, two channels that were never together when I had Dish or Charter previously. So now I can get the two things I care about: Simpsons reruns & access to Simpsons World, and Toonami.

This is offensive to me, fans, and to Kawahara. I dont see how people are praising this.I made an updated one for SAO
