/a/ - anime/random

When you want someone's name it is good manners to tell them yours first. It is the same with opinions.

This is keeping a feel-good tone most of the time, yet somehow it manages to make all the dark moments not mood whiplashes, just out of place. The characters aren't particularly full and deep, they are fitting for the feel-good side of the series, providing mindless entertainment. And yet they feel the need to kill them off. And have them behave fucking stupid at the face of this crisis. And not even one tried to go against Fav.

Well, I guess they will drop the feel-good stuff, and leave only the bad side of the series. Kind of sad. I am quite fond of the trap.

The first episode was really poorly done; The main issue is that there was no subtlety. The opening scene basically screamed "LOOK IT'S GRIMDARK!!!" which is totally unnecessary and kind of obnoxious. That scene could have been removed entirely and nothing of value would be lost. The rest of the episode's first half was actually pretty good but then they decided to rush through the rest just so they could have that shitty cliffhanger at the end.
Episode 2 dropped tons of flags on Nemurin who we knew nothing about before and now we're supposed to give a shit about her?
And now episode 3 comes in with the most anticlimactic reveal of all time courtesy of the half-baked QB clone.
Basically, I think the show has some interesting concepts but the way it's executed is pants on head retarded. Maybe the source material is just bad, but Lerche is really disappointing me here. There's no sense of drama, no sense of subtlety, and the awkward mesh of characters and ideas we're presented with falls flat on its face and makes for a lame watch.

It should be very obvious that it is an original anime.
Otherwise I agree with you, but you should give episode 4 a watch, but I guess you are waiting for subtitles?
With the twist and the connection they made with the previous episodes they are certainly showing us how deep they want to go with the "everything is fucked up" stuff. It might be interesting in a ironic kind of way to see how far they will go after the reveals. And who knows, they always could suddenly pull off something surprisingly good. But with the way they present us the characters it will be hard.

should it?

I thought the LN was from June this year. Well fuck, this was a very fast to come out cash grab. And its not even over. Jesus Christ, now I am actually left with no hope at all for this.

I had been looking forward to this anime since the LNs first started out, just because the concept was cool and the art is really pretty. I think they ruined the designs for the anime, though.
I'm going to continue watching it, anyway.

As you wish.

I don't think anything wrong happened this episode.
But the mc is still acting like a spoiled Madoka.

A small kid murdering someone to take their place in the chain of command is okay?

I took it more like she was taking out the bad guy.

>>17545
keep in mind that she's like 8 years old or so

Shooting Ruler in the back would have been less cold-hearted than what she did. She is no older than elementary school age and a complete psycho. Considering how easy she can disappear with her power she might even turn into one of the last people to be taken down. Will probably be extra traumatic for Snow White after she learns how young Swim Swim is.
A very important moment here is what the good intentions of Nemurin turned into. My guess is things are going to get very fucked up.

Why Cranberry decided she wants strong opponents just now?
Are we going to get even more obvious and shitty intro flashbacks?
What was with the directing during that horrible fighting scene?
Why they spoilered the magical ability of the new witch just before it got used?
This anime is a mess.

Well, I just got spoiled that the boy dies, I can drop this in peace.

I don't feel minimally attached to the characters, and the fact that they die doesn't bother me at all.
I'll keep watching because of Alice, but if she turns out to be as bad as the others I'll probably drop this.

Too soon. They didn't even let her sacrifice herself properly.

What a wreck.
I want to see them all dead now.

So I was indeed able to pretty much figure out the last boss. That said it is not like I was made to care and the ending was very open. If this was a faithful adaptation then the LN is probably going in a complete different direction than how it started. It makes me think of Ender Saga in this aspect.
