#168 - So Long Sword Art or... Three Hours Thirty Four Minutes and Some Change

In our longest episode yet we discuss Akame ga Kill and the usual news before diving into our SAO send-off. We share our thoughts on the emotional finale of Sword Art Online II with ADR director/script writer Alex von David and read your comments and questions. Alex explains that some the BS in SAOII is actually factual and discusses his experience scripting and directing the actors. The very lengthy conversation deviates often and leads to discussing a theoretical spin-off series with Klein and Sinon, Alex giving Twitter advice to Kirk Thorton, how stupid it is for Kirito to build a device to bring his digital daughter into the real world, how Grave of the Fire Flies is the greatest movie we never want to see again, how Master of the Martial Hearts is absolutely terrible and various other topics. Alex also suggests we give Darrell an intervention and the f-word is uttered. Your hosts this week are Sketch, Darrell, Jim, Jenn and Paul with returning guest Alex von David 00:00 - Intro 01:52 - Akame ga Kill Recap 15:33 - Toonami News 21:45 - This Week on Toonami 31:23 - So Long Sword Art Online II - Featuring Alex von David 1:52:39 - SAO Q&A with Alex von David Music Credits: "Courage" by Haruka Tomatsu 8-Bit Remix by SimonAfzeliusMusic Available Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYFFuzdtyqk "Shirushi" by LiSA "Courage" by Haruka Tomatsu "Crossing Field" by LiSA 8-Bit Remix by Chunmeista Available Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoKU-fIQia8 DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions of the participants of this podcast are not the views of ToonamiFaithful.Com or it’s affiliates, nor are they the views of Toonami, [adult swim], Williams Street, Turner or any other Time Warner property.
