I have to say, after watching the first two episodes of SAO II, I almost gave up on it. But then I sat through the 3rd one, which didn't impress me and suddenly the 4th one reignited my interest. Now I can't wait for the next one. It was a pretty obvious twist, but for whatever reason I didn't see it coming.

Also, question: am I the only one who absolutely hates Anime openings? They are FULL of spoilers. It's gotten to a point that I always skip them and only go back and watch em when they have a new one. Does anyone else feel this way?

I tend to skip openings until I'm at least a couple of episodes in so I don't spoil myself, but there are some openings out there that are simply unskippable. I watch the Tokyo Ghoul OP each time, for example, since it's just a piece of art in my mind. Very few spoilers in it too, other than some characters that almost all appear within the first two episodes.

That's a perfect example of a great opening theme. Really wish more anime would adopt this model. I assume this is a spoiler free thread, so I'll just say that the latest Fairy Tail opening spoiled the latest episode/saga for me. Do they assume that people have already read the manga so they pretty much know what's gonna happen?
