The Show finally ended. The show itself was somewhat interesting. I wish there was a bit more fleshing out of characters but then again all they had was 10 episodes. It almost feels like half of Hidan no Aria because all they covered in that series was the "prologue" volumes. I can't really blame anime studios though considering the amount of content they need to try and fit in a 20-25 minute show. BUT really though? 10 episodes? Come on Diomedea! All in all I would have liked to see more because the show feels incomplete. It was your typical gag/slice of life/I don't really know type of series mixed in with SOME serious business. Honestly it just felt like they threw in some things to fill the episode. From what I've heard and read from the novels there was a lot of things that were left out as well as unnecessarily added in such as the fight with Perseus guild and the addition of the little game Kuro Usagi had with the three in the very beginning. Now it is not all bad. The fight scenes with decent although more Izayoi hax was needed. They didn't even explain why he is so close to OP. The relationships between some of the characters were interesting and hilarious. Shiroyasha and Izayoi's camaraderie regarding Kuro Usagi as well as all the teasing done towards Kuro Usagi from most of the main characters was lol. Now I doubt a 2nd season will appear, but at least I hope translations for the novel start sometime soon =|. MUST READ!!!!! 0_0!!!!
Oh! I recently took a look at a VRMMO themed light novel and no it's not Sword Art Online. Not 1/2 Prince either though if you assumed it was then you were close. It is called Moonlight Sculptor if I'm correct. While browsing baka-tsuki as well as other places I came across the novel and it was downright awesome! Had an extremely hardworking protagonist who basically defines the term grinding in an MMO. I believe anyone who enjoyed SAO should check it out as the lead seems to have a similar approach to gaming as Kirito although his goals are somewhat suspect (lol greed), but in a good way. Guy struggles to survive and uses the VRMMO as a way of doing that to support his family and himself. There are funny moments in the series and it really goes in depth to all the guys crafting, stats, skills and quest progression. It also doesn't spare any reader from explanation towards any aspect of the game itself. I wouldn't mind playing the game described for days, but it did mention the guy is paying a monthly fee of 300 USD. Ouch! But at least it is diablo-esque in that you can sell items for money and there are plenty of uniques and opportunities for uniques even in crafting.
