Finally decided to watch the last episode of Akame ga Kill...SPOILERS SPOILERS...
I don't think I've ever come across an ending quite like this. Of the 10 characters that made up Night Raid, only 2 survived. It almost makes the ending feel abit hollow because so many people I liked died, but it was never done poorly as every death was impactful, emotional, and only drove the surviving characters to better accomplish their mission. I wanted Mine and Tatsumi to survive and get together, or Leone to continue being Big Sis to Tatsumi, and really it goes back to just wanting to see more Bulat or Sheele cause they were great. It's just one of those stories where it is trying to tell you that even though victory is possible, it's not gonna work out like how you want. Where you got shows like Fairy Tail, which shouts out that "Friendship is the greatest strength of all", Akame ga Kill just says "Fuck that, friendship isn't a power, people die" lol I liked the show and while I'm not happy with the ending, it makes sense to me. Would be cool to see another season or just an OVA where it's Akame a few years later, now a roaming mercenary of sorts, fighting the new evil that crops up now that the powerful corrupt empire is destroyed.

A lot of people hated how the anime version ended. The manga version is different.

Is it drastically different? I'm really not likely to go to the manga, can't afford to really get manga like I'd want to, but it can't be that significantly different, can it?

And finished Sword Art Online 2. I was kinda bummed after the GGO section we were back to Alfeheim and that it felt like the story was just gonna be kinda mini stories to finish it up, or it was just gonna end up being a small story with Asuna dealing with her mom, but it became something I wasn't quite expecting. It was handled very well though and I was pretty satisfied by it as it took a different direction than what would be considered the last three arc's of the series which were a much more frantic and intense completion to the story with very dire consequences. Don't know much about what is to come other than it'll be set around a new game called Underworld they participate in, so it'll be interesting to see where that goes.
After watching this, it just makes me want to go back to the good times I had in MMO's years ago. The early days of Star Wars Galaxies, playing with those I knew or came to know locally in my small town (In a time for my town when internet was not the best for us), or at a bigger more anonymous scale of the early days of Warcraft, completing Molten Core for the first time with the guild, or even the short time I spent with close friends in Final Fantasy XI. Never been able to get back the same feelings of those days.
And slightly off topic, but Crunchyroll related, is there anything in the drama show section that is worth checking out? I've never really watched regular Japanese shows and I'm kinda curious if there's anything worth taking a look at.
