The story sometimes moves a bit slow, but I've certainly enjoyed what I've seen. I hate the narrator though, it makes the anime feel cheap at times (which it probably is).Nanashinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425470687904510714.post-50223040461176834712008-12-30T13:43:00.000-08:002008-12-30T13:43:00.000-08:00The "coolest house in the history of media?"

Well, I've watched up to episode 4 so far, and to be honest, I'm still not all that impressed.<BR/><BR/>Still, I've got all 26 episodes sitting in my hard drive, so I'll definitely watch it in its entirety at some point.<BR/><BR/>Just please, please, please tell me the fight scenes get better; so far it's just been Honoka swinging her sword, and bad guys falling down.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and merry christmas to ya too ;)Snarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101556138782470886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425470687904510714.post-10836828002867175092008-12-25T05:41:00.000-08:002008-12-25T05:41:00.000-08:00Right!

First things first, Merry Christmas to You, Your friends and family, hope You're having a wonderful time..<BR/><BR/>nao, let's get down to serious business. i've just read your fist impressions and you said you've only seen the pilot episode. let me have a wee go at this, then! ;] i've watched 'the third' about a couple years ago. i do rememeber it pretty well though. you've said something about the characters looking rather uninspiring. mate, this anime has one of the most complex characters i've seen, ever. don't judge the book by it covers, honestly. give this one a go! the setting is one of my favoutire as well. i love the apocalyptic stuff, reminds me a bit of bubblegum crisis as well. the story telling is tremendously executed, brilliantly narrated and voiced (i know there were folk who didn't like the narrator, but i loved it). it is on par, or even better i would say, with gurren laggan. really by not watching this you'll be missing out on a classic! somebody've said something about char design dropping in the middle?! i call it utter bollocks! don't let that get in your head! really! watch it! i'd recommend you marathon it (it's what i did) and you'll see why it's easily one of my three favourite animes of all time!1302595 - Paul Kowalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365161195777961400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425470687904510714.post-37712952815199708592008-12-18T00:02:00.000-08:002008-12-18T00:02:00.000-08:00@ Lightning SabreReally?
