Not to spoil but part two is significantly weaker

I wouldn't consider that a spoil tbh, a lot of stuff suffers from this really. Good setup & concept and then wastes it/goes for filleresqe content to prolong the lifetime. I'll wait and see what I feel like closer to release time, I'm trying to not jump on every release people are excited about as I end up buying more than I should. Going to keep it to a few key titles a month that I know I've been waiting on.

Actually, I'd say the beginning of the series is the weakest, due to the pacing. Because unlike the light novels, which finished Aincrad in the first volume, then had side-stories set within Aincard, the anime moved them into chronological order.

In regards to the history of the series, originally it was just a single web novel - it was the popularity that caused it to be published and other novels to be written. Shame they didn't adapt chapter 16.5.

I think this is all getting a bit spoilery for people who haven't seen any SAO at all ^^;

Don't you think knowing the first part ends is, in itself, a pretty huge spoiler?

I'm going to add some tags, please be careful.

Just going on AniplexUSA's Sword Art Online website is a huge spoiler then xD.

Sailor Moon Kai to air this winter (on NicoNico as of now)

Of note was the fact that the announcement event was 59 minutes of fart-arsing about the new Musical being made and one saying the above and Osabu (Fumio Osano, Kodansha's Sailor Moon editor) dodging questions related to the anime like a political motherf'er.

Nothing of Key Visuals, Voice Cast or Preview footage for the anime was shown (to compare an event for the new Gunpla Builders anime had three, two for the ins and outs of the Gundam Franchise and one for the show).

One is beginning to suspect the musical is the prefered child in all this.

To celebrate the release of Naruto Shippuden Movie 3: The Will Of Fire on 12th August we're going to be having the inaugural Manga UK Online Community tweet-along event on Thursday 15th August!

Don't do this to me/us (1, 2 & 3):
Lee! Kaze has #GoSick I believe, so hopefully it'll be released here soon. We take the sexy anime from Funimation because it's cheap to acquire and bring to market and it sells. #sexsells. We've got a load of different stuff to bring out in 2014, so be patient. #Blood+ nearely happened once but I wouldn't acquire it now. >JM

*sigh* It's not entirely confirmed that Gosick is with Kaze, but still... This is unpleasant news for me personally.
Let's hope some US company picks it up next/fast... (And hopefully for me dubs it...) The Japanese BD release happened last february, so yeah...

That made me glad I imported from Region 4
 
I guess this means that Kaze won't be out of the UK market like first presumed? I thought they would be once they said to Andrew that he was no longer needed (or something along those lines) ..hmmm.

Hopefully they can release a fixed version of Bakuman now .. :S

Didn't Bandai Entertainment license Gosick for the US market before they 'went under'? With any luck another company - hopefully NISA, I imagine the artbox would be amazing - will pluck it from license purgatory so we needn't suffer a Kaze release.

"Awe who knows what them Damn Jovian Lizards are thinking?"
 
So MangaUK has stated in their latest podcast that they really are reducing the amount of anime they bring out, focusing on a smaller number of ultra-popular anime rather than a wide range of stuff. With me not particularly into films, I guess this means that MVM will become the main company to look to for UK licenses in the future.
