I seriously don't know where people keep getting Harem from in SAO- unless something's changed massively in Season 2, the only 'harem'-like things are the main character having people crush on him. He's freaking

Its in there, Anvildude, it really is. It isn't a major theme, it's barely apparent enough to be a minor theme. But I think that's kind of the core concept to a Harem isn't it, multiple cast members crushing on the main character? It's there, but fairly subtle and pretty easy to dismiss. If you want flaws, I'd cite the plot slip in the second half of the first season, even though there were some cool parts.
And he's

And while they probably take that seriously, the other characters (and viewers) likely will not. You can even see it one of the last season1 episodes, 2 of the girls that liked him were giving him and Asuna time, then they were going to go after him. It didn't happen, haven't watched season 2 to know if it does, but the ghost of such a thing exists in the show.
Totally like the show though, wish I had time to see some more of what people have been talking about so I could better contribute to discussion but what is, is.
Has anyone seen any of the remade Berserk? I've only caught glimpses but from what I've read they're sticking to the manga. If that's true, I'd be a very happy man.

Seen them all, it's all faithfull to the manga, not a fan of the 3d style though.
So I figured Locodol was gonna be the only comedy anime for me this season, but then I watched the first episode of INVADERS of the ROKUJYOMA!?, which is ready to tackle life's Ultimate Question:

Is a 50 dollar a month apartment worth dealing with every anime cliche fighting for control of that apartment?

Give them a try.
Its flaws are that the CGI is bad and too prevalent than it should be (But the scenes that are hand-drawn are still gorgeous). The movies generally feel rushed, and IIRC this is mostly evident in the second film, which also had the most subplots and the like cut out. A lot of stuff that isn't shown is implied, such as Griffith's liaison with that fat old man for some extra cash, so if you've read the manga you should be able to fill in the blanks.
Overall though, the feel and tone of the films as well as the characters are textbook Berserk, so they're still quite enjoyable. Give them a try.

You know, it's not quite schadenfreude, but there needs to be a word for enjoying inflicting emotional pain on others that you yourself have had to endure.
In personal news, still watching Those Who Hunt Elves, and I'm about to start Read Or Die.
Yeah, KM's going old school.

If you use the powers given to the person you locked in the mech, you start using up their soul until they cease to exist, and oh hey, Demons are the same way, and oh hey, two of the main characters are locked in a mech and a Demon. Oh and by the way, both of them are fully developed characters :/
Messed up man. Messed up.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
I have started and seen most of Paranoia Agent and let me tell ya, this is some good ol' "WTF" material. 2 episodes in special so far just kept making me go "WTF is going on?!". Don't get me wrong, I totally understand now why everyone says good about this, because it IS awesome, but yeah, I missed going "WTF?!".
P.S: Went to my first 2nd hand store yesterday and I'm talking about a somewhat small city. Found around 11 or more Reis figurines under 10€ I didn't have. Or in some cases, 5€.
This place is fething paradise

Yeah, I read up to like book 27 or 28 so I'm only clueless about anything post-Golden age.
But I'm excited that they're out, anywhere specific you recommend viewing them or are they non-streamable?

I've been wanting to check out Kara no Kyoukai, I don't understand what it is about from the description though. Is it like a mystery?
It's a sort of supernatural mystery yeah. Although i'm 6 films in and i'm still pretty sure i only get about 2/3 of whats going on Although that could just be me. And even if you don't get what's going on it's very pretty to look at/listen to
