NEWS: Sword Art Online: Extra Edition to Stream Worldwide

Accel world is Sunrise, and SAO is A-1 Pictures, so that's not going to happen

I don't know, spending it with real people, primarily family, seems like a better way. maybe that's just me

Well the studios themselves don't matter so much (they're just the grunts who are hired to make the show), its more who the producer is. But yeah, SAO is Aniplex and AW is Warner Brothers, so Aniplex would essentially be giving their competitor free press if they announce their product during their show. Think of it like Sony announcing a big game sequel on Xbox One during one of their press conferences.

Please do not support fansub streaming sites. If you cannot access the material legally, download the fansubs. There are people who do not realise that those sites are illegal. They profit from traffic from their illegal uploads (fansub groups generally only profit from user donations, which they at least claim they spend on real anime merchandise). They are a cancer in every respect of their existence.

Plus, downloading fansubs is much better quality than streaming video in general and especially those streaming sites. They're just bad.

If you're going to pirate – by desire or necessity – do it in the right way.

Is that blue haired girl a new character? I don't remember her from the anime.

it's Asuna's new ALO character

Get off your moral high horse. Piracy is piracy, saying one kind is better than the other is absurd; especially saying one kind is a cancer and the other one is "the right way". I watch 13 shows a week and my computer is from last decade, I'm not going to spend half of my life downloading episodes for a mildly superior quality (that will probably kill my computer anyway, what with files getting heavier and heavier) when I can watch them on my SmartTV in half that time.

I appreciate and greatly respect the work fansubbers do, especially since they get little to no profit from it, but since there's literally no way for me to support them, it doesn't even make a difference. If by clicking their pop-up filled pages I somehow help to keep a site -that allows me to watch everything I want and doesn't even charge me for it- running, I honestly don't care.
