Have seen the shill anime coming out for sega?
They release one every year now and they are all terrible unapologetic shill-fests.
Currently there is an anime phantasy star online 2...
Plot? A random guy got recruited into the student council. And everyone on it plays pso2 to demonstrate "teamwork and ability", so the main guy has to become a mmo addict and get the mad lootz on council run raids to earn... his place at the student council he never wanted to be in in the first place (and prolly to get with the hot student prez).
Don't talk about the universe, nop the ragnarok online made that mistake. Instead lets write a terrible school romance story where mmo addiction gets you mad puss and good grades and prolly a job at sega (oh...).

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed. Instead of actually making an anime about the PSO universe they did that...
Was kinda looking somewhat forward to PSO too. I'm not a fan but I've played the PSP ports and other than the worst heroine in the history of female characters in game being the female lead of PSP2, the story and setup was interesting enough.
Yeah I saw the Ragnarok online anime. Half the show was decent, the rest...ugg. Painful to watch. Specially after they did the class change and the characters didn't behave the same way anymore.
I guess I might watch PSO2 through as it seems like they may be trying to cross the real world with MMO at some point judging from that one girl's character. But theres other great shows to see.
Erased is really showing up to be a must see. Murder mystery/time travel one. Then Snow White of the Red Hair is back. GATE is back too. Heavy Object is holding steady although they are getting into a 60s Batman groove with the battles. Garo....well nvm that one, been a rather big disappointment when compared to the original.
Pandora was the only show so far I dropped after about 10 minutes. All female cast fan service genre just needs to die already. Norn has been tenuous since it started. I'm okay with the shoujo manga vibe it gives off but the characters and story are very subpar. It seems like it is building to something, just taking it's time.
Norn is kind of the opposite of Utawaremono. That show has the characters and a rich world but it just doesn't do anything with them. Took them about 13 episodes to get to any semblance of progressing the story which it teases at in the first two episodes and then just sits on with cameos from the original series filling in the dead air.
ShadedExalt:
GATE is awesome. One of the more interesting premises I've seen, but other than buffing mages immensely, throwing endless Fire Drakes at the JSDF, or closing the titular Gate, the only real threats I see are from the outside, namely the USSR and America, as they've already shown that they're willing to kill JSDF personnel to get their hands on the Elf and Demigoddess.
C r o w:
The thing that interests me the most about GATE is the series of shenanigans happening at the imperial palace between the children of the emperor.

Squidslinger Gilder:
ZOMG who else saw Grimgar tonight?! I kinda felt what happened tonight was coming because the series tries to be a bit more realistic about the "trapped in a gameworld" genre but still...oooo got good.
I'm interested in the military tech the JSDF brought into GATE. Really F4s? I'd have thought they'd have taken something a bit less fuel hungry. Sure its a good multirole fighter/bomber but still, Japan right now has 154 F-15s. Heck even the F-2s would have been better. Perhaps this speaks of the government's willingness to really invest in the special region. Sending old worn out F-4s. Course their only major air combat would be dragon fighting. The rest is a lot of recon flying. Course considering that, even more...take something a bit more fuel efficient. Unless they are that confident in their supply line staying open. Makes me wonder what would happen if the GATE did shut? If it's been open for awhile, there has to be some sort of power source or something keeping it open. How long till that ends? Maybe we'll see some of this happen later.
