Now that I've seen the whole series, this is one that I would seriously consider getting... on top of all the ones that I'm getting now, plus the ones that I'm planning on getting.

"The Girl with the Blue Eye" sounds so plain, I've would've like to see it as "The Girl with the Azure Eye" instead, but that's just me. |

Here, I'll add my 2 cents then.
Started out extremely interesting. Good Dub. When it finishes, it sorta peters out. Nothing resolved (other than the blonde guy), and nothing really moved forward. Episode 13 and 25? Were the most horrible animated crap since Negima. That's about it. Good watch, but I'd rather watch Sunabozu or Trigun.

I want to try out this series, but I have some doubts and questions. Is it ecchi? Is it full of fan-service and nude people? I want to see this, but episodes are hard to find and I haven't gotten the DVDs yet. I found this one website (can't say name) that has the episodes, but when I tried to sign up, it says I have to be 18. I'm 15, so I didn't sign up. The opening is really addicting and pretty.

bump!
Just finished this anime, and INSTANTLY downloaded the OST. Both I would give a 100/10 XD YES definitely some "fan-service" scenes/characters; as I'm a girl, however, I only appreciated it for the humor and art, and not the um... well, the fan-service-y part of it? XD It is an AMAZING anime, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for anime that satisfies up until the very end, and doesn't leave you with any regret........ other than episodes 13 and 23's art. What. The. Frak. Like other people have said, you only continued watching WHILE cringing in pain due to the characters' incredible voice acting ability. You really feel the emotion in the voices, even the narrator; I didn't feel he was too distracting at all, I've been an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi since I was VERY small, so it felt as if I was reading a book and watching an anime at the same time. Speaking of the animation, I would definitely give it a 10/10 especially with the CGI, but there was always something missing for me. Either it was the fact that 13/23 was ruined, or just that I've seen better animation in other anime. However, it is still a 10/10. The soundtrack, now.... SUKOKU SUBARASHIIIIIIIII~ (weeaboo moment, but yeah >_> It's versatile, it basically--along with the voice actors--contributes to a LOT of the emotion and atmosphere of the anime--playful, sad, anger, motivated--even the scenic and beautiful landscapes have music that matches the art perfectly! Superb job! OST and both EDs were extremely appropriate; I would actually recommend that you ONLY listen to the OP's TV version while watching the anime, and then after you finish, listen to the OP's full version afterwards; it gives you more of a fulfilled feeling, especially while reading the lyrics. Both EDs were good but very "normal" and, though not quite as epic as the OP or the background music in the anime, satisfying enough and worth a download. Last edited by Anye; 2009-07-13 at 16:25.

Most likely it was how they showed the scenes as opposed to the quality. If I recall correctly there were these few scenes here and there towards the end where it was a little forces/lazy the way they did it. Still good stuff though.

I just finished watching this series... It's not bad, although I wish they explored hanoka relationship w/Jōganki More, maybe a triangle or quadrangle ...either way..from what I've read the manga is a prequal to the anime... Does anyone know why Joganki loves hanoka and why does she distance herself from him?? Often in the anime she says that she knows him best as she knows herself...

I watched The Third a few years back and decided to give it a second viewing this past week. There are many things to like about this show, particularly the characters and the visuals, but it suffers from the annoying narration. I also found the ending pretty rushed. We finally get to a big confrontation over the Techno Taboo and the role of The Third, only to have it be resolved in just a few minutes. It needed at least one more episode. Or else the Rona arc should have been shortened. I gave The Third an 8/10 the first time around, and a second viewing confirms that score.
The violin theme in the OP reminded me of the score to the game Chrono Cross. I'm now replaying that!

I really liked the character design for Honoka and her personal arc together with small touches like her interest in poetry and how she uses it for introspection. I didn't find the series story to be extraordinary but her character itself was fantastic I think. That is what I remember most from the series.
