AniManga Controversies With Muse!

While I write a lot about current series, I haven’t written that much on the common controversies in anime and manga fandom. So, when I saw this post meme making the rounds a few months back, I filed it away for future use. I apologize for being late to the bandwagon, but I still want to answer these questions! Let’s get started!

On March 21st, I joined 1,600 other people at Weingart Stadium in Los Angeles to take on an Attack on Titan themed Real Escape Game titled Escape from the Walled City!

When did Hunter x Hunter Get Darker?

No, I don't mean the content. I'm loving the current arc. I'm talking about the colors. Is is just my monitor or is everything more...gray?

A good adaptation doesn't always mean getting every single little detail.

Adventures in Escapism: Sword Art Online and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

 
This is the last time I'm going to write about SAO on this blog, since I think that I've made myself really clear about why I dislike it in terms of how it's handled its characters. However, that wasn't the only reason I dropped the show. For a while, I had a nagging feeling that I'd seen this story before done far better. I wasn't familiar with most of the shows people were comparing SAO to, like the .Hack franchise, so I wasn't sure where this feeling was coming from. Then I realized that SAO didn't remind me of an anime; it reminded me of a game.

Disclaimer: The following post contains spoilers up to episode 9 of Sword Art Online and for the entriety of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. If you are planning on watching SAO without knowing anything going in or care about having the end of a 10-year-old GBA game spoiled for you, then it may be best to skip this post. It's also really long, so I suggest getting a pillow or maybe a favorite drink before proceeding.
