Why SAO is Shit

Guys, I think we should've stuck to Mabinogi...

       Over the past anime seasons, we've been getting plenty of series that have gathered their own fanbases. Yet the thought comes to mind of whether or not these fans consider their tastes as great, or even better than those of their fellow fans. Let's take some time to look back at one anime in particular that brought a name for itself. Sword Art Online (or SAO of short) is an anime whose plot comes to similar terms to that of the .//hack series. Similar in the sense that players are trapped in a game and if they die in the game, they die for real. Well, that's how it was for the Aincrad arc. Afterwards, the main character, Kirito, saves everyone and has to go into yet another game. ALfheim Online (ALO for short), SAO's second arc, turns the plot into more of a "main character saves the main love interest" sort of  scenario. However, this is where the series lost its edge. As you continue to follow the the anime or novels, they start to stray away from the original concept and start to come up with more of these outrageous add-ons (which are just more games for Kirito to go to). To put it this way, SAO was and still is downright shit.

Spending Money in Anime Cons : The Golden Rule

I bought this Marisa AZONE for quite a bit. 

The Golden Rule

      So you're at an anime convention and your eyes are bewildered by the selection of goodies they have for sale. You being at an anime convention suggests that you do not particularly prefer buying online, and that the dealer hall's marked up prices are nothing to worry about. Your "to buy list" grows by each merchandise stand. Assuming you're not a lottery winner, your wallet is in pain and you cannot possibly buy all of these goodies. Well, how do you decide then? 

      The following guide is based on my experiences in several anime conventions' marketplace-- or as their commonly called, the dealer's hall. I call this particular guide, the Golden Rule. There's no meaning behind the name, it's just a pretty sounding name for something that has saved me a bunch of cash.
