If I remember correctly it was the same in the manga... so at least it's faithful crap. As far as Shinichi yelling a lot, he isn't completely in control because of the mini migis. Sure he is more logical and rationale at least from migis point over view. But that is only in regards to his lack of emotion and being calm and rationale when confronted with a threat. All the parasites go kind of loco when surprised and cornered. I mean just look at what hide did as soon as drawing girl figured him out. He freaked and is going on the offensive. Shinichi is doing the same, but his head doesn't unravel. He just yells and shows signs of anger.

yeah, first half of the episode was ok, with the boss fight, but second half was totally useless and redundant. I cant recall an anime that ive seen lately. that is as slow as this one plot wise. First season was definitely more interesting imho.

UBW was a bit disappointing in that we didn't see Archer vs. Assassin..at all. Guess they had a draw, or maybe Rin called him back?

My speculation based on SAO.
Well, at first I thought that she was an NPC character. That's why her and the other one were worried about going into player housing, plus what Kirito said.. Now I'm not sure. That whole "sis" thing has me confused. Maybe it really is an NPC character, and that character's daughter is the fairy/orphan girl that Asuna & Kirito adopted.
I'm sure it'll get answered for real next weekend.

And regarding Log Horizon, I enjoyed the raid aspect of this episode. My guess is they DPS'd the boss too quickly, so that caused 2 side raid guys to spawn. Chances are you're going to need to fight him slowly, then kill each additional raid boss that spawns while you off tank the main guy. They'll also likely avoid that root AOE from erasing agro by having all ranged people move in before he casts it. *shrugs* Just thinking like I did in my previous MMO's.

If you really curious just read the lightnovel, mother rosario story is really short, but its one of my favourite of the bunch.

Regarding ubw, now im even more convinced that shirou is archer, they keep hinting at that, first the fact that shirou was in the archer club and quite good at it, second he dreamed the same hill archer was in his flashback, except it was without sword in the ground, but blades popped from his arms? Third he started training and fighting basing his style on archer himself, and also started to dual wield at the end of the training with saber.

Rider death was a bit disappointing, maybe they ll show what happened in a flashback or something.

Archer IS the Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou, its not really something to spoiler because this was told in the movie years back and in the original fate. It all will go down eventually in the series too, its pretty bad ass and i expect the fights to be pure tits.

Having read some pretty badly translated light novels (the typos transgress Epic status) all I can say is just keep watching. This is one of the better SAO arcs period.

Gurddammit! Now I REALLY want to know.

FSN was pretty good. Yeah the action wasn't there, but it was meaningful progress.

Note to self. Look at FSN LAST on the weekends. I went from FSN to Log Horizon, and fucks sake it was like watching South Park animation.

The latest Cross Ange is some evil shit. Gotta love all of those coddled people who use magic instead of the ones that don't. Das Rasis!
