Despite all the SAO hate...

VLC screenshot eue

I've read that isekai (trans: "other world") light mangas have been banned from entering a certain competition in Japan correct me if I'm wrong. Well, we all know SAO probably had something to do with the increasing interest in these types of stories.

But of course, there are also a lot of bashers especially when it comes to Kirito. Most netizen comments would be because he's too "perfect" like a certain gundam pilot already nicknamed "Jesus" probably by the same group of people. I have no problems with that, really. You can hate all you like. Those who like the story and the characters don't actually care.

What made me like SAO was coughAsunacough the relationship between the two lead characters. Yes, you can say Kirito has his harem but let's not forget who he swore his life to! Anyway, there is an innocence to their relationship that just pulls me in. I admit, I may sometimes be a romantic who falls for those things. Let us also not forget the trust they have towards each other (though may sometimes be hazy on Kirito's end) and how proud they are of one another. *mild spoiler alert* If you've read/watched the Mother's Rosario arc there was the battle with Zekken and the guild fight

Just putting my two cents out there! I haven't watched the new movie yet (just the first 5 mins) and I'm looking forward to that and hopefully the next "season"

2017 Half-Year Achievement Update

I've been MIA for the past six months and AFK from January to the first few days of March for a reason~~~

Left home right after New Years to review for exams. As of March I am now a registered medical laboratory scientist (or medical technologist, whichever you prefer). It's a big deal, seeing as that was not my major and I only had give or take 2 months to study for it. Some spend half a year, you know. I guess I'm kind of thankful that I still remember some lessons from school.

After March, I worked my ass off for medical school interviews. AND I GOT IN!

Anyways~~ will probably update this blog more. To be honest I forgot the email and password but I'm posting now so I got through that obstacle.

Over and out.
