As we know season two of SAO was released this summer which to our dismay did not take the title of Gun Gale Online, but I digress. While turning the general theme of the series it retains all of the same elements that we know and love. Speaking of which is it just me or is Kirito starting to form a harem, you know just stating the obvious here. As for rating I’m really not sure what to think at this point, I was spoiled for the first season at least the first part not the unmentionable Alfhiem Online arc (cough cough). Regardless I still regard SAO highly because of its action sequences which are quick and to the point while the romance story its great. Aside from the (cough cough) partit played together smoothly despite the large jumps in time in some episodes. I think I’ll have to hold off my judgement of this season till the end because what made the first season for me was the ending.
Now about that series that started simulcasting this past summer, The Irregular at Magic High School. I had never heard of this till my cousin pointed me towards it and I must say I’m very impressed with it. It changes how someone would think of the “tradition sense of magic” and flips it upside down which I like very much. Now granted it does have a small element that is off-putting to some people (sibling relationship); ignoring that however the character development and plot are great it keeps you excited for the next episode every time. Starting from the beginning of the series, just the anime, it catches you if not with the awesome music I just don’t know what to tell you. After the second episode you can get a very good idea of the connections between the characters. It also make the series easier to roll into and continue on without much trouble.
