Anime anyone?
GarandMarine:
So I started watching the anime Blue Drop last night. The following is a no shit transcript of my reaction to the first episode. I'm not gonna spoiler it except for one small detail, I mean it's all generic and it's all an E1 reveal but you deserve that special moment of "wat" for yourselves should you choose to watch this.

What the FUCK just happened!?
This anime just shifted from sad slice of life into full metal weirdness
So to sum up. Girl A saw Girl B as she was bring driven to her new school
they meet in the dorms
shake hands
Girl B gets a vision of the MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY (tm) in her past. Then her eyes go blue and then tries to choke her out.
(Girl A's tragedy to be precise) (click to show/hide)There was also a flash of a giant battleship type thingI have NO FUCKING clue what's going on.

Seriously I'm like 11 episodes in and I have NO idea what's going on. This anime is half sad slice of life at a girl's school and half (click to show/hide)Sci Fi space battleship alien invasion action anime and ALL OF IT is slathered in Yuri implications that are well past the point of subtext. It's really well done relationship wise which is quite shocking. Even if the (click to show/hide)aliens are literally (click to show/hide)female only which is a terrible trope no matter the (click to show/hide)gender in question....
So.. yeah it's weird by 7/10 so far.
LeeC:
(click to show/hide)Female only alien speicies is nothing new, havn't you played (click to show/hide)mass effect? The Asari! Blue space babes (species are only babes) complete with hair tentacles, Vulcan mind melds, and Jedi powers.
OT: how awesome is it that the auto correct when typing on the internet tries to capitalize Jedi. :-D

He died so hard on the last boss that he magically was able to stab him anyway. I really liked SAO the first time I watched it but Kirito has almost no depth. He is every loner MMO player's power fantasy.

I don't know, being uncommunicative in multiplayer is a damn big giant character flaw, regardless of whether you're a solo player or not. I always go for a solo playstyle, and even then, I ping mob aggros, alert others on my status, and tell someone that their plan is a really fucking stupid idea and why if they don't know by experience.
My response was more towards the "Always win no matter what" part of your post :P And I'm going with the "immersive suspension of disbelief" approach to the end of the SAO arc, because honestly there's really no other way to manage a narrative battle without going with a Mary Sue curbstomp if the main mechanic of a strong player is "Powerleveld to hell". Ever been on a busy RO server and run across an MVP monster? You'll either die horribly, or watch 30-40 T3 trans players show up and nuke the hell out of it without breaking a sweat.

No I know, I'm well aware, which is why I called it a trope :P
On another "new anime note"
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: this anime is weird as hell, In Short Alien tech takes the form of WW2 era naval ships, chase humans out of the sea (as in all shipping capacity, etc) then manifest pretty female avatars for themselves for... reasons. The Blue Steel is also known as the IS-401 (Imperial Submarine 401, a VERY VERY large WW2 era Japanese submarine) that is serving a human crew for... reasons as well. Apparently the avatar of one of the heavy cruisers trying to kill them becomes enamored with the human captain of the IS-401. Which is taking Tsundere to whole new levels if instead of slapping you the romance du jour can launch cruise missiles when you tick her off. Makes you wonder what she'd consider a grope though. Careful with that throttle!
Attempts at humor aside I'd recommend this one out of the current season. It's surprisingly light on fan service. Unless you're like me and warships duking it out counts as fan service.
Asterus:
Ok, now that I'm actually watching AoT, I'm glad to note that Eren is not the OP story-breaker most people describe him as. At least, not yet. Possible Beserker who's one Ax-Crazy rampage away from being a Blood Knight, I can handle.
