I watched it recently, online, but I think it was from around that time. Pandora Hearts. It was good, by my standards at least, but I didn't like that a) the heroine is presented as a monster and then turns out to be pretty useless and b) the plot of the anime is inconclusive, which is why I started reading the manga.


Never made it more then 5 chapters into Pandora Hearts. Never managed to hold my interest. Although, now that i think about it Hellsing aired in 2001 as well.


Hmm, really? I personally thought that the first few chapters were more fast-paced than what followed.

Eh, in any case, I don't consider my time wasted, because at least the music was nice. :P

Music? Could you perhaps elaborate upon that a bit? because if your talking about hellsing then I agree, pandora hearts iv got no idea.

Well, you were talking about how Pandora Hearts never managed to hold your interest, I was merely commenting on that.

I haven't watched Hellsing. I watched the first bits of Ultimate with my brother, but I didn't continue.

We are brothers in our fall to her deception, USOM.

...But anyway, we're getting way off-topic with this silliness.

Are we? I wasn't really sure there was much a topic to begin with. Granted the thread is dedicated towards discussion of the game and how we should play out events, but when only two are bouncing dialogue back and fourth things readily devolve into madspeak. Though I supose if i must; I like the breakdown of how attributes play into actions. The topic of how concrete values translate into our available range of actions and abilities always puts me at ease in regards to what would be considered an out of line action by my characters.

You really should. . .
The second run of SAO was phenomenal in my estimation, surprisingly. Definitely worth a watch even if you found the first season to be meh.

Actually, I kinda prefer the first season. I dont dislike the second by any means, but the nerdy joy i had at reliving what felt like a decent revival of dotHack was quite pleasant.

Still though, we were quite rapidly derailing from something at least concrete, like anime, into silliness about mistresses and whatnot. That's what I meant :P

I'm glad you like it. If you ever feel at doubt regarding what attributes would affect your current action feel free to ask, or even suggest really.

Eh, SAO is one of those things I'm allergic to because at least once upon a time they were so popular. -Shudders-

[Jesus I'm chatty this evening.....]

Thanks for the offer. I'll definitely take you up on it during the duels after I work out how and if I want to make use of magic. Something tells me that will be a few paragraphs of its own...

This is why the backlash against the second season for making Kirito an actual human amuses me so. And why the ditzy fangirls are moving on ever so gradually.

Yes you are. :P.

That's alright. One thing to remember, as always, is that magic requires words to activate. The more complicated and the less experienced the mage, the longer the chant.

Really, backlash? And he was human to begin with, so whats the damn complaint? That it itsn't exclusively virtual world shit going down? My favorite part of season 2 is Asuna's character development through family struggles.

And to Zark, are we immobile while reciting said chant? And are we able to recite them quietly, or must it be loud enough to be clearly herd?

You can recite them however loudly you want, but they must be clearly pronounced. You can move while chanting, but if your focus is too low, you'll most likely trip over your words or your feet while trying to multitask.

Well, the folks who thought that said male protagonist should always be the best/invincible and that everything should be virtual aren't happy about Asuna getting the spotlight and the fact that Kirito both has mental issues and actually cares more about the real world. And yeah, I loved Asuna's development, and I feel like we should see more of that in SAOIII.
And to Zark, are we immobile while reciting said chant? And are we able to recite them quietly, or must it be loud enough to be clearly herd?

Is there any way of inscribing the chants or words to allow one to activate it otherwise?
Besides, are there any barriers in the Academy regarding magic and its use?

Mhmm. I'm a firm believer that if we ever produce a valid method of immersive VR it will be the end of the world as most everyone eventually would willingly submit themselves to the matrix.

No.

There's no barriers, but there's rules against abusing it inside the school grounds, and people willing to kick your ass.

This is why I liked the idea of the Medicuboid and of course why Akihiko's continuing shenanigans amuse me.

Speaking of which, I was thinking whether or not I should have two NPCs duel. To show protocol and such. Maybe even between aspirants as a demonstration.
