Rebellion made some decisions that most people would immediately peg as Not Something You Should Ever Do but they play it out in an interesting way and the ending is...well it was definitely a thing. I like the idea of following it up with something but in its own way it's just perfect :allears:

You could watch Rebellion, or you could watch the 20th episode of the most moe anime of all time, which just dropped on the 5th.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
Japan Trip Status:

I went to a Japanese cookie factory/tour place and holy poo poo do they go all out on that poo poo.

I've visited a nice park and the biggest shrine in Sapporo as well. I went to Hakodate as well, I picked up a shirt that has a pun based off a Japanese song but I thought kind of worked in English as well. It's gotten some good reactions.

I also watched "When Marnie Was There" with my host mom and my host dad loved that I saw The Hidden Fortress and bought Ran because those are his favourite movies. I also was asked if I watched/read Space Brothers by a university student and she was ecstatic when I said I did. when she said I had a familiar name I said "Brian Jay?" and she loving loved it and gave a little cheer.

Good times.

Not really the right thread to ask this question but I'm lazy. Does anyone have any recommendations for good third party software that I can download onto my laptop to play blurays? My drive can play blurays I just don't have software to play them with. I want to watch my amines in glorious 1080p and my tv is only 720p.
Because of the Blu-ray standard's draconian HDCP actually watching BDs on a PC is an enormous chore; you're pretty much forced to watch it in some software you have to buy. I believe the two main players were PowerDVD and Arcsoft TotalMedia. Even then both of those gave me huge stuttering problems.

Or you could try something that removes the copy protection altogether like AnyDVD HD and use something like the aforementioned MPC; this seems to work the best without any stuttering for me. The problem here is that AnyDVD works by white listing BDs, so every time a new one comes out you have to download an update. But even if you buy the software, unless you spring for the lifetime updates tier (currently $132) you will eventually have to buy it again.

it's actually kind of enjoyable - kirito is written a decent bit better and they make an attempt to flesh him out, even - though there are some random lulls where they sit in a cave and talk about the villain's plans for the whole episode

also it owns because the bad guy is a mysterious dude in a mask with an alias and he says he was in aincrad with kirito and kirito instantly flashes back to literally everyone he ever saw in the first season, starts thinking about 'okay who could hold a grudge against me,' and then like an episode later they just tell you who he is

Creepy dude tries to marry Asuna while she's in a coma, but obviously our saviour Kirito rescues her, so not really.
Unless there's more of that stuff in 2.

Up to episode twelve of Xam'd now and so far Ragyo's version has appeared far more often than the protagonist's, which still hasn't made a full appearance since the first episode. The big fight in episode 11 was pretty cool though.
