116. SAO Alicization (Rewatch)

SAO at its most consistently good. 1st half is great, could have done with a few more eps to breath, as the time skip is jarring.

The boss rush in the 2nd half is a lot of fun, if a bit of a forced setup. Still love the cliffhanger ending.

115. SAO Ordinal Scale (Rewatch)

Hype moments and aura, with some cracked animation and a stellar OST. Does very much feel like a fan service movie, because it is, but it's still a fun watch.

8/10

Watching this and it being set literally this month feels weird, after watching it in 2015 and it seeming so far in the future.

114. SAO II (Rewatch)

Enjoyed this one lot more than I expected. Phantom Bullet is a lot of fun, Sinon's arc is great. Calibur is a waste of time, but it's only 3 eps. Mother's Rosario is peak, it does hit.

8.5/10

Chronicle of Visual Arts

3/3

Chronicle of Visual Arts

2/3

Here is the Chronicle of Visual Arts, it's a very meticulously detailed history of all their releases.

1/3

This book's quite cool, Visual Arts' released it in 2013 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, covers all their VNs (though about 70% of it is focused on Key), various interviews, etc.

I'll scan it in eventually, though it is a couple hundred pages long.

Ryukishi07's best 07 Key heroines from the All About Visual Art's book, released in 2013.

113. SAO (Rewatch)

Decade since this got me into anime and I was an obsessed fan of it. Does still hold up for me, not phenomenal, but good & nostalgic

Aincrad arc is great, if weirdly structured. Fairy Dance is... mediocre, not gonna defend that one. Kajiura OST peak

Rewatching SAO got me interested in what my anime thoughts were back then. Checked my old google doc where I put ratings for shows I watched, and man, I was not cooking with these scores.

In my defense, I was 14.

YouTube video by Klesun Konatsu Hapymaher OST - Yayoi no Theme - Behind-the-scenes heroine

Also Yayoi's theme is incredibly good, I pause to listen to it every time it comes on.

Been reading Hapymaher recently, and find it quite interesting how they redid all the sprites for the 1080p Regret End re-release, even if it seems quite unnecessary.

Also I'll always remember looking back at those early web novel illustrations. The anime they made does look great, but if it got made back in the early 2000s with this style, there would have been quite a vibe to it.

Now that I'm done with all the Danmachi anime I decided to give in & fully embrace my inner 15 year old by rewatching SAO.

Halfway through Fairy Dance so far, and while it's not peak, I'm still enjoying it quite a lot. The nostalgia hits hard, it was my first anime after all.

112. Danmachi Sword Oratoria (Rewatch)

I read the LNs this adapts before rewatching, pretty mediocre adaptation, fumbles most important scenes. Also I swear they hate Lefiya as they cut out almost all of her good scenes, and added a bunch of bad ones.

6/10
