When we left our discussion of Sparrow’s Hotel, I was thanking the creators for only giving me three minutes of this train wreck to watch. Since then, I’ve watched an additional three episodes, which brings my time lost to this anime to twelve minutes. Let’s just say I’ll be sending the creator my invoice for time that I would like back.

I just completed episode 1 of Valvrave the Liberator, and all I can say is ‘WOW!’ and ‘OH MY GOD! WHAT EVEN?’ Suffice it to say, this anime blew my mind away in ways I never expected, and completely took me by surprise.

Well, the Spring 2013 Anime Season is upon us, and the first series to step up to bat for me was Majestic Prince. Initially this anime was nowhere even close to my radar, but then I stumbled across a trailer. It sparked my interest with promises of amazing mech battles, stunning animation, and an interesting story. Needless to say, I was pretty excited and quickly added it to my queue on Crunchyroll. I’m so glad I did.

Kirigaya Kazuto, known online as Kirito, is one of ten thousand players who joined the newly released virtual reality massively multiplayer role playing game, Sword Art Online, on its opening day. Unfortunately for Kirito and his fellow gamers, the creators decided to disable the log out button and lock players in the game indefinitely. Now what started as an afternoon exploring a new game has turned into a fight for survival as the stakes have been raised. A death in Sword Art Online means death in the real world, due to a player’s brain being connected to external hardware to emulate a full virtual reality, known as Nerve Gear. The only way out is to clear all 100 levels of the game, but do these players have what it takes to get out in one piece?
