Zero no Tsukaima (third season), generic discussion thread

[Oxtail]

I'm glad to see SS-Eclipse subbing this series now. I've always been impressed with the consistency and quality of their releases.

[zero0609]

very disappointed by the 3rd season(and the 2nd as well), it changes too much compare to the novel, and not in a good way either.

[gugumomu]

as ZnT is licensed, posts about fansubs aren't allowed. you could get yourself banned. better edit your posts :P

[AnCri123]

Yeah you are right, i wasnt aware that simply discussing fansubs can get you banned...Makes sence though, since this is not what this forum is for...

Now...Quick, to the Batmobile!!
I must delete the post before the mods get to it !!

[ZippyDSM]

BUST REVOLUTION!!
Dies laughing!
So I am in to ep 2, not bad at all serves its purpose as a ecchi anime, a shame 2nd season was kinda boring even as such, I hate it when they water crap down as so its so so so, but all well its still better than Rosario + vampire or even ikktousen GG.

BTW didn't Genon go under, so why is it still licensed??

wow, ZnT went from a decent fantasy anime with romance to a deus-ex harem anime with excessive fanservice.

4th Season probably only consists of huge boobs.

No, from fanservice to hentai for season 4.

What's the current situation in the Albion nation? Is it under occupation and, if so, by which nations?

[siber222000]

I just finished the third season, and I have to agree, there was just gratuitous amounts of fan service in the third season, especially compared to first and second. Is the series supposed to be a harem/eechi series, or was that the work of the anime studio?

Also, having finished the anime series thus far, something's been bugging me the entire third season:

Spoiler:

Didn't Saito and Louise get married at the end of second season? How come that never got touched upon again? Louise could've made the final claim on him.

[Darknemo2000]

Demi, novels do have fanservice but never on the level of anime (in novels theres only one Louise other girl kiss for example, which is yuri fanservice, and has much more SaitoxLouise kisses instead). Anime increased fanservice a lot and decreased plot and character development.

Spoiler for L:

They did not get married in the novels, and anime ending was rather unclear. But they ignored all the changes they made in second season and went with third as if second season followed novels closely (though it did not).

That stinks, I liked what they did with second season (although too much Agnes screen time). Third season dropped everything and became a big harem mess (did any plot development go on at all)?

Tifa finally made her enterance and it introduces Tabitha's problem/arc or whatever you want to call it. I think that is it...

Spoiler:

Their marriage wasn't real. IIRC, they made a pledge on their own, but that doesn't result in official recognition.

As the style of the series goes, it was a spur of the moment incident - one that held no meaning once the crisis was resolved.

[Darknemo2000]

I would recommend you to go and read novels instead, on you-know-which site (its translated up till volume 10 end) - its much better than anime. Even people who do not like reading enjoyed it more than anime so I would say it is worth of your time.

[tsunade666]

tifa shouldn't be their to begin with. They introduce her way too early. And the monster jormungad. Its a really messy one. Even though it looks like the same as the novel but it isn't. Its a huge fanservice show. That's all their is too it.

And in season 2 about their marriage. their shouldn't be a magical flower their. And they drastically reduce the emotions their. They should have just ended it with saito as dead.

Oh good I do like reading. I just don't like following uncompleted series... too impatient to wait for the next release.

As for the end of season 3:

Spoiler:

How the hell are earth weapons so insanely powerful in this series? A wall of fire/ice/wind can't take down jormungand, but a flak 88 can?

[~Azu-chan~]
