Sword Art Online II 09 — Death Gun Chases Tail

This is part 26 of my SAO summary / fanfiction. You can start with Part 1 here.

Kirito’s wife and daughter sat on a couch in ALO, watching video feeds of a tournament in a different video game.

“I wonder why Kirito hasn’t shown up yet…” asked Asuna. “I thought he would have killed everyone by now and won the tournament. He’s a beater, after all.”

Yui laughed. “Daddy would strike the enemy from behind so quickly, there’d be no time for him to show up on camera!” Continue reading Sword Art Online II 09 — Death Gun Chases Tail →

Weekly, once every other month, whatever.

Hunter X Hunter: Way to go, Leorio!!! I kind of think the show should have just ended right there. It’s sad that it’s almost over.

Mahouka 21 — A Glimmer of Hope in Mahouka

The world of Mahouka is a world of moral insanity. Right and wrong are inverted. Discrimination is right, violence is peace, power is justice, and the weak are scapegoated and dehumanized. When the world is this screwed up, what can one do?  Anyone who attempts to rebel is quickly retaliated against, through the main tools in the toolkit of evil: violence and scapegoating. Those who resist the social insanity in Mahouka are brutally tortured and killed by glorious freedom fighters such as Erika. Others who resist are shamed into insignificance, by being labeled as “terrorists” and vilified as traitors who work with foreigners. Their rebellion is blamed on personal and psychological problems and they are considered foolish or mad or insane, even while they are the only sane people in a world that has gone mad.

But even in such a world, Mahouka (unintentionally) offers a glimmer of hope, through the hero of this week’s episode.
