There are a lot of anime that have split reception, with many people thinking it's great, and many others calling it mediocre, and sometimes downright awful. Clannad, Hitsugi no Chaika, K-On, you name it. One of the most common trends I see are critics who dislike something, but many dedicated fans who love it. But there is nothing I have ever seen such a massive split on as the simultaneously famous and infamous Sword Art Online. It's either ranging from a 9-10, being one of the best shows the viewer has ever seen, or 3-1, the worst trash to ever leave the bowels of A-1 Pictures.

I've been playing the Super Smash Bros. games for most of my life. It was the first fighting game I could really play. I was only four years old when I first saw Melee at a friend's house, immediately wanting it for myself. When Brawl came out, I fell in love with it as well. But as time went on, I played less and less Brawl, finding myself leaning towards Melee. Why?

Welcome to the new, Weebly-powered site for S.S. Amino! The only blog named after a fictional steam ship titled after biological acids is back, and better than ever. Blogger was a very restricting service, so I decided to move the site over to a better host. If you're visiting from the old site, welcome back. If you're new, get ready for the ride of your internet-browsing afternoon!
This article was originally uploaded to the old site on July 1st, 2015. Yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I decided to give RWBY a rewatch. RWBY is a animated show on the web, hosted by Rooster Teeth. The creator, Monty Oum (may he rest in peace), had nothing under his own creative belt other than two fan videos, Haloid and Dead Fantasy, paying tribute to video games by having characters beat each other up. Well, I guess that would be an understatement.
