Ahh, I see. It's kind of sad I don't know that since I'm a military brat. All the women I've seen usually have shorter hair, but that's good information to know. At least it makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

Got to meet and have a (sort of) one on one conversation with Monica Rial. Twice.

And I have a friend who is an up and coming voice actress. I've stated before that she's going to be a character in SAO (not a big character) but she's done other things.

Personally, I would think that female Captain America would have shorter hair. Not necessarily a military cut for females, but something that's short and would be less in the way.

Still, looks cool.

I would play Kingdom Hearts Days again but going through the missions is a pain.

I've been off schedule lately. But it's Father's Day somewhere and the effect is just the same.

Yeah, that's also true. The first season had lots of fights too,, but it seems like there was more build up, meaning more of a pay off as well.

I've actually read through Rosario Vampire. I actually do enjoy it. I guess the hero's journey is the wrong term (although most stories seem to follow it); I'm looking more for structure, that the creator has an end point and is working towards it. I loved the first season of the manga, but the second season seemed to focus more on fan service than the first season. Yes, the first season had fan service, but it wasn't as in your face as the second season.

To me, no. It just doesn't mean that they understand what love really is. To me, love is beyond being able to not live without the other. You can have a strong connection with someone significant, but that doesn't have to rule who you are.

Again, this is just opinion.

Yeah, I figured that about me. I'm a bit picky. I like something to have a beginning, middle, and an end. I'm a fan of The Hero's Journey, and if something doesn't have an end, or ends because it just simply has to, it doesn't feel right for me.[DOUBLEPOST=1371183140][/DOUBLEPOST]

From my perspective, one I believe is done right is Romeo x Juliet. Yes, the two of them fall in love at first site, but their relationship isn't simply defined on that. Their romance becomes gradual, to which it actually does become an actual love instead of puppy love. Romeo and Juliet were also able to function as actual people when they weren't around each other. Kirito and Asuna simply shut down as people since one didn't have the other, which is something that does annoy me.

I will say that not all shonen is bad. Attack on Titan is a good example a shonen show that balances great action with a good story (although, they seem to be going down a road where they're simply going to become generic from what it looks like). I know shonen can be good, it's just hard to find one that can keep a good story going. Either they go on for hundreds of chapters/episodes, which doesn't interest me, or they end badly.

Granted, that's not all of shonen though. I really like Deadman Wonderland, although it has problems. Why I choose to accept that over SAO is that it doesn't become sidetracked (in the anime at least), the lead character does have flaws and isn't a Gary Stu, and many of the side characters have their own personalities.

I'm just someone who loves the art of storytelling, and from what I've experienced, a lot of battle shonen don't know how to do that.

To me, it felt very forced. Sure, they become friends, but the way they grow feelings for each other feels like the creators were saying "okay, these guys will be the main couple because she's the lead girl and he's the lead guy". And, yeah, the marriage thing is over the top. I'm not asking for each character to have the emotional depth of the Atlantic ocean, but I want it to at least have something.

This is basically what I felt too. They seemed to accellerate the romance simply because it was what the fans wanted, but it was just too simple and shallow.

Badly plotted, I'll give you that.

And all of these responses could be summed up in one phrase: It's shonen, what did you honestly expect?

Well, the strongest part of the show are the fight scenes. They're very well done and creative, but fight scenes can only go so far for me. And I very much dislike the paring of Asuna and Kirito. Their love story is very forced for me, and that doesn't bode well for me.

Yeah; she announced it to her friends, and I was really happy for her. I want to support her since I know how hard she's worked to get to this point.

I don't hate the show. It's okay for what it is (better than a lot of the shonen out there) but there are some storytelling flaws that I can't overlook.

I'm a fan of dubs. And the cast that they have for SAO is actually pretty interesting. The main reason I'm considering watching it is because one of my friends is going to be a character on the show (one of the smaller characters, I think one episode) and I'm going to show my support.

This is some pretty old news.

It's so old, the show has already been on toonami, making some people happy, and leaving others disappointed.

you guys ruined my joke.

;_;

I love you, Jayn.
