It's a fine VN, but they should have cut at least 25% of this, it drags on and on, especially on the first route through. There's some good parts, I do like Yayoi & Keiko, and the true route's pretty good, but it's not really worth it.

Since it's December I should say to please go read Snow, it's a classic Winter nakige, making this the ideal month for it.

116. SAO Alicization (Rewatch)
SAO at its most consistently good. 1st half is great, could have done with a few more eps to breath, as the time skip is jarring.
The boss rush in the 2nd half is a lot of fun, if a bit of a forced setup. Still love the cliffhanger ending.

Oh the Chaos;Head / Chaos;Child Love Chu Chu double pack didn't chart in the famitsu sales. So it sold less than 1,735 physical copies week 1.

Hype moments and aura, with some cracked animation and a stellar OST. Does very much feel like a fan service movie, because it is, but it's still a fun watch.

Enjoyed this one lot more than I expected. Phantom Bullet is a lot of fun, Sinon's arc is great. Calibur is a waste of time, but it's only 3 eps. Mother's Rosario is peak, it does hit.

This book's quite cool, Visual Arts' released it in 2013 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, covers all their VNs (though about 70% of it is focused on Key), various interviews, etc.
I'll scan it in eventually, though it is a couple hundred pages long.

Decade since this got me into anime and I was an obsessed fan of it. Does still hold up for me, not phenomenal, but good & nostalgic
Aincrad arc is great, if weirdly structured. Fairy Dance is... mediocre, not gonna defend that one. Kajiura OST peak

Rewatching SAO got me interested in what my anime thoughts were back then. Checked my old google doc where I put ratings for shows I watched, and man, I was not cooking with these scores.
In my defense, I was 14.

Been reading Hapymaher recently, and find it quite interesting how they redid all the sprites for the 1080p Regret End re-release, even if it seems quite unnecessary.

Also I'll always remember looking back at those early web novel illustrations. The anime they made does look great, but if it got made back in the early 2000s with this style, there would have been quite a vibe to it.

I read the LNs this adapts before rewatching, pretty mediocre adaptation, fumbles most important scenes. Also I swear they hate Lefiya as they cut out almost all of her good scenes, and added a bunch of bad ones.

Here's the clip from the WePlay stream where they say Steins;Gate Reboot is using the Elite script as a base.
They do also say it has one new ending though, so that's something.

Recorded the scene in the original VN for a comparison, the Elite script sure does cut a lot...

It's good, Kazuki Fumi doesn't pull off as good an episodic VN series as he did with 9 nine, but this is more consistent in quality. The premise is kinda stupid, but he did a great job at making it believable, it's fun.

Simul-release confirmed, also bit surprised they're not dubbing it, seems like a missed opportunity.

Well English translation for Steins;Gate Reboot is a near certainty at least, since Spike Chunsoft is the one doing the Chinese event in a week.

Finished the 2nd Heaven Burns Red x Angel Beats event. That was great, felt really nice to finally read the conclusion to Hisako's character half a decade after I read the setup in 1st beat.
