Each issue is longer than manga and mostly words.

@Meta

Not from what I've seen. What I've seen it looks like a manga entirely.
Plus that's one of the problems, the whole thing came about from it being too long for the competition it was written for, and ideas ran out after that first incarnation. (He admitted this in an interview)

Update: Found out why what I've seen is so manga like, there is a sao manga. So I was right. I knew I knew there was a manga and you made me question myself.

"The series has spawned eight manga adaptations published by ASCII Media Works and Kadokawa. The novels and four of the manga adaptations have been licensed for release in North America by Yen Press."

For once, I am actually lookign forward to both a Nintendo and a Microsoft console release, this year.

It must be new then. I looked for one years ago and only found the LN.

Unfortunately, Nintendo crashed and burned the Switch.

I'm pretty sure it was before the anime release.

Ran in Dengeki Bunko (which pisses me off that it's in the same group as Raildex) starting in Sep 2010. First volume was released Sep 27, 2012. Published in america March 25, 2014 for volume 1.

@DarkwolfX37

That must be why. The LN is good though; all the training he did isn't truncated like in the anime.

@Meta

Which is part of the problem. The anime tries to follow the LN and manga when it should've gone the way of FMA 1 or Hellsing 1 or Shaman King and done its own thing. It might've been good then, which is why I asked about if the movie is based on them/written by the original author or if its by other people and might actually be good.

@DarkwolfX37

I think it was because the anime couldn't fit everything contained in the LN, so it became more of a "here are the important parts." I don't know about the movie, but I think it's using the author's novels as source material and altering it as necessary to fit the film.

@Meta

That's exactly what happened, but it's not like the source material is better. The parts that it shows are faithful to the LNs, it just doesn't show everything because the contract was for a standard 13 episode season, rather than an open ended one like the big ones.
Damn. So much for that then. Then again, even the game that totally changes everything sucks, but I don't know if the original author was involved in that game or not so I can't blame him for anything more than the source material.

@DarkwolfX37

I enjoy the source material, but it's not like everything appeals to everyone. I do agree that the entirety of the SAO arc needed to extend throughout the whole season, however. The movie is about AR and nobody really knows much about it, but it's supposedly a cool plot. I'll reserve judgement.

@Meta

If you ever want to see why at least the anime and from there the source material is bad, I've still got those videos. They focus on the anime and only really touch on the source when it comes to character problems but the anime really is bad when you look at it.

[DarkwolfX37]

So Trump no longer gets the "we'll wait and see" benefit of the doubt. He's fucked up majorly three times in his first... how many days has it been?

Actually, I've been super impressed with what he's done so far. I'd say it's one of the best first weeks we've ever had.

@DarkwolfX37

Actually, he's been unbelievably efficient. It took Trump exactly one day to beat the Mexicans. One. Day. Mexico and Trump were supposed to have a big trade meeting--America is Mexico's most important trade partner. But the president of Mexico had announced that he wouldn't pay for the wall. So Trump tweets that America has a horrible trade deficit with the Mexicans and if the Mexicans aren't willing to pay for the wall, it would be better for them to just cancel the meeting. That was this morning. A few hours later, Mexico cancelled the meeting.

A few hours later, Trump asked Congress to approve a 20% tariff on Mexican imports with which he will pay for the wall. This will (1) hurt Mexico's trade with America and (2) hurt American companies with factories in Mexico, causing them to pull back out of Mexico and back into America, creating massive unemployment. This threat will force Mexico to submit and pay for the wall so the tariff won't go through, and Trump won't ever even need it.

Global Gag Rule, he's said that he likes torture and that it works, and banning tweeting for an entire section of the government. (Which is unconstitutional, hypocritical to the highest degree, and the act of a dictator since he did it because they were tweeting dissent against him.)

@Efficacy

That's great and all on paper, but that's not how it actually works. Not to mention that a wall is entirely useless, making it a huge waste of money, and this would hurt the average american's purchases since that'll raise the prices on everything coming from mexico, which is going to be sold here regardless and is going to be bought regardless.

@DarkwolfX37

we're going to build the wall
Ah, but I thought you'd raise that last point. However, it won't matter, because either/both (1) Mexico will surrender before the tariff even works on the American economy or/and (2) Americans will just buy more American-made stuff, since American companies will have to move out of Mexico and make things back in America. And it's not just that--Obamacare and TPP are dead, the Keystone XL is finally happening (and it's being shifted out of contested grounds), and he's met with union and business leaders that respect his incredible business skills and are ready to work things out. Under budget and ahead of schedule.
EDIT: Don't forget cutting off funding to sanctuary cities, already shutting down Miami as a sanctuary.

@DarkwolfX37

His stance on the torture thing isn't a screw up to me whether I agree with it or not. It's actually entirely constitutional. It's one thing to use personal Twitter to speak one's own mind, but that's effectively the same as using company resources to berate your boss. The government is supposed to work together, not be in civil war, and they were being inappropriate for the time and place.

@DarkwolfX37

Blocks cartels.
We don't pay for it and it saves money.
Companies have already started moving back into the U.S. It's how capitalism works; if Mexico prices get to high, we switch to something else.
You assume they'll stay in Mexico; companies follow the money.

I'm slowing starting to hate my country. Never have in my life, but its happening. Do not ask why, I wont reply. This is not to start an arguement, just simply a statement of my opinion.
