Lord Bard Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 This is one of two animes this season that I like, the other would be Ushio to Tora. So here to review some things i like and the things i don't like.[spoiler=Spoiler]I like how they break the generation's tradition, of now having seven people instead of six. And the design for most of them is pretty solid. The main character, the one with the red hair, is pretty silly and I like his style of fighting. He is a puss in a boots, sneazy yet effective way of fighting is pretty cool, since i didnt see that so much in animes. Backgrounds and use of color is pretty good, but the enemies, the demon like enemies are just a 3d models purely animated. That's the only thing I don't like so far. The story is a little GO HAPPY but oh well that's it for the most animes. Review based on a first and second episode. Definitely seems promising.

mitchermitcher Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 So far my AOTS. It's gotten a bit slow but I really, really like the sudden Rokka no Umineko development. The next episode better be the reveal because god damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 So far my AOTS. It's gotten a bit slow but I really, really like the sudden Rokka no Umineko development. The next episode better be the reveal because god damn.To be honest, I think the show switched gears from the group teaming up to stopping the evil and is instead now trying to solve the mystery.Honestly, I like this show a lot. It has good bits of action and interesting characters and the mystery of additional members was an interesting direction to take. Underrated anime of this season for sure (that and Ushio and Tora).

mitchermitcher Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Decided to not be lazy and read the LN translations. The story's just amazing so far. As for the anime, it's pretty much the only thing I'm watching at this point. Can't wait for the reveal to be animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 As much as I'm loving this show, I wonder if the writers made a mistake to not somewhat setup the mystery in the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just gotta leave this clear: Nachetanya is the hottest girl of this anime season, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 well, as someone who's read the LN...[spoiler=very slight spoiler that doesn't state the identity of anyone or would do anything that would ruin the enjoyment of the mystery, i hope]well, maybe not the first episode but there was definitely some setting up before the temple thing Well the problem wasn't that there was any setup, but that there was no indication that there was a 7th brave to worry about until like episode 4-5. And that was the main focus of the series. For 5 episodes, the show was about the heroes coming together and defeating the demon king. [spoiler=Also I'm honestly kind of disappointed with who the 7th was.]Not only did it turn out to be the least likely person, which is a lame way to do it, but, as a CR user put it "Not only did the 7th turn out to be my favorite, but another 7th showed up anyway, are you funking kidding me?" Hottest, sure, but FREMY IS DA BESSAlso I think the case can be made that Flamie is hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think the case can be made that Flamie is hotter. I suppose that's a fault in the medium rather than the writing itself. The 12 episodes we've seen is just one volume of the novels. Instead of being stuck with the wrong premise for five episodes, it's only a prologue and a chapter or two. I'll agree that as an anime viewer I'd have felt cheated at the reveal and the clues being shown way back before the temple was a thing. Still, I think the reveal was pretty great, regardless of whether it was a legit mystery or not(Seen some argue its not). Rolonia's voice was not quite how I expected it to be but it was satisfactory. Was kinda hoping they'd fix her design but that and the low animation quality of the episode made it hard to take seriously. Sales predictions for this show's not very high, not a good sign for S2 and beyond ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales predictions for this show's not very high, not a good sign for S2 and beyond ;_;Honestly Rolonia's design was quite awkward, at least imo. I like the way she looks in the LN better. As for the big reveal and shiz, even from the perspective of someone who's read the LN and knew who the seventh was (honestly I knew who it was gonna be before I even read the LN, and to be honest I'm kinda glad it was them, because they were imo the most bland and boring character before.) As for the 8th they've already dropped a few clues as to who it is, and that reveal is a whopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I was fine with the show. I find it kind of funny that the last few minutes of the last episode basically resets the show back to where it was. I'd watch a season 2.
