Can otakus listen to screamo?! I don't think it matters if you like "screamo" or not when you're an otaku. In my case, I've been listening to screamo music WAY back when I didn't even think about watching or liking anime. Look at me now. And I still love listening to Deathcore/Death Metal, not much into screamo (I don't really like to consider "screamo" a genre). Deathcore just sounds so... Powerful and brutal, with some disgustingly beautiful gory vocals. I.E, listen to ACRANIA or Ingested and you'll see what I mean. And about the cute things... While I agree with you about liking something so cute, innocent and colorful (anime) when, according to society, if you like "screamo" (because it's always something dark, negative or satanic to some people) they expect you to like "dark" stuff, not cute things. It seems a bit off to them. But who cares?! I think there's nothing wrong in liking anime while you listen to some screamo. I sometimes do like cute things on anime, and I always despise them at the same time. But I love myself some more dark gore-ish, blood-tearing psychological anime. But it certainly doesn't have to do anything with music taste... Does it? DOES IT?! And I see you like Fit For A King... Quite interesting, used to listen to them. Until I kept searching new bands. :P

I saw them play the fonda theatre in LA, show was awesome. I would definitely see them again

I haven't read the manga, but I have enjoyed the anime. Ok, if I'm being honest - I feel the new season airing this season has been the best part of the entire series so far. Really, my biggest beef with the previous seasons was the fact that they chose to focus solely on Kirito and Asuna and their character developments and their relationship. They had a ton of other great characters, and chances to better character development for them and they just chose to only show those characters in a few episodes here and there. They had Lizbeth, and Klein, Aegil, etc. All those awesome characters and they barely did anything with them. Honestly, I'm loving the season because it has a much more serious tone and mood to it, and we've got these great new characters. They're actually exploring Asada's story and what not.
