FMA03's second half was grim-dark and acted way too "Try Hard".

I'll admit it wasn't as good as the first half, but it was still quite good. I enjoyed it, anyway.

SAO II's second opening is awfully catchy.
Courage, by Nightcore.

SAO doesn't have anything anime-original, though, that post seems like a non-sequitur.

I was merely taking part in the comment-chain.
Since SAO II was mentioned, I felt like pointing out what I think about its opening song.

In any case, courage isn't by "Nightcore" a Nightcore is a thing, Google it. It's by Haruka.

Nightcore is a type of music created by two swedish (or from norway) people.
I once said that before and I wondered afterwards what I was saying.

EDIT: How did that even pop up under the quote about anime original endings...

I haven't watched much of anything after finishing Gundam SEED Destiny, but I started Nadia: Secret of Blue Water today. I'm only one episode in because I really, really should be writing a certain bloody report for wednesday instead of watching (or talking about) anime, but overall I'd say I like it. One of the main characters has supremely annoying voice but I really like the 90's art.

So I started Free!

As a swimmer, this series has a lot of problems.

1. They swim unrealistically fast. As in, they're high-schoolers swimming at Olympic record speeds.

2. Their hair is way, way too perfect. If you're a longtime swimmer, your hair is going to be a mess of split ends.

It was ok, but not as good as FMAB.(And some of the logic in FMA is just weird, like a certain character giving up on his dream literally a few days before that dream could come true)

You should see the real Gendo and Fuyutsuki. I saw my father watching the series (UFO) online and thought it too much to be coincidental, so I searched it up...and I was right.
