I've yeat to see it completely, seems only the nico stream is available even if it aired, and that's too dark to see decently.

Well Tears to Tiara airs on Sundays, mining that only like a day just passed, so of course you won't get realise that fast.
If you wondering what groups are going to sub this... If I am not mistaking they are Solstice Subs, Insomnia-Subs, Kesenai Subtitles.

[4get]

The first subs are out (CoalGuys).

first episode was alright. i'm pretty sure to the first time viewers watching this, they would be mildly amused on what the heck is going on. must... wait... for... -------!!

They left me to wonder what would happen of me if I know no Japanese at all.

The subtitle in Hong Kong is somewhat bugged... obviously hastily translated as well. Hopefully they will use the more "formal" version from Taiwan in the next episode.

First episode was quite alright, and the animation looks quite good as well ... would have looked better if the episode wasn't so dark through most of it though

They moved at a slightly slower pace than i had expected, but i suppose they do have time to play with, and the place where they ended it does make for a somewhat nice cliffhanger. I am still struggling with the character designs, especially Riannon's (why does she look like a completely different person!), after having played the PC game, but i suppose i will get used to them with time. As a lover of fantasy series, this one should fit the bill nicely. Now excuse me while i go plot how to burn Riannon's atrocious hat ...

It's because they're using the PS3 designs mixed with the PC's designs

[Skyfall]

Yes, i know that, but that doesn't really make them any easier to swallow, especially after gotten used to PC designs (Although i prefer some of PS3 designs as well, Octavia's especially). Meh, will get used to it with time ... never the hat though. That hat of Riannon's is my natural enemy.

Actually the malay subs for Animax Malaysia were good. The only beef i have with them is that they translated Maoh(Demon King) to Ghost King. I'll forgive them 4 that 4 a great sub they did.

Wow, that was pretty dumb. Better I suppose then some first episodes, but still cliche and stupid. The girl just standing there waiting to be murdered, the kids caught, the girl murdering everyone, in order to save the kids for a day or 2. Oh, and don't get me started on that totally fake boar hunt. A sword? Yeah, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, DUMB!

Still, as I mentioned, while its stupid, its better then some first episodes I've seen. I'll give it my standard 3 episodes before deciding whether or not its worth watching. Maybe the story will improve, though the way they're already toying with our emotions, it has all the hallmarks of bad drama.

I wouldn't say mixed. Save Gaius, whose armor is different, the designs are straight from the PS3 version, as specified in the credits of the anime, that say it's based on "Tears to Tiara - Kaikan no Daichi", which is the PS3 version.

yeah, really what was that girl thinking. She was going to give her life to save the world , but she is going to destroy the world to save to kids for a while. I guess that she believes that as long as there is life there is hope.

You might notice if you look carefully that there were several "letdowns" in PS3 version that were corrected in anime, mainly by using old CG as reference.

Perhaps the most publicised one is the "crate scene", where Octavia was "delievered on a plate" (notice the surrounding food and bottle(s) of wine, implying "eat me" or "party time". It adds effect to the scene were first impression is not "crime?" but "party").

PS3 version delivered Octavia in an empty crate, which removed a lot of the "" feeling from the scene for those seeing it for the first time. Hints at Octavia's sexual preferences aside, it just doesn't have the same impact without the food and wine. Barren crate is just too barren.

Anime version essentially combined new design with old attention to detail that PC version had. A best of both worlds I suppose.

Lyrr (sp?) and Octavia, glad to see you girls animated.

Lyrr = <3 1a
Octavia = <3 1b

oh and im glad girl-whose-name-maybe-a-spoiler-i-forgot is getting alot of screentime in the opening and ending, since she can be considered the beginning of everything in the story, and they didnt show her alot in the game atleast.

Does anyone know if Lyrr underwent a personality change from PC to PS3 versions, Id hate to see a different her in the anime.

That's because Sony doesn't allow H Games. And I'm glad they did it like that, I wouldn't have even dreamed of playing the game if it were for the PC version alone. Save some minor differences I'd say we're going the PS3 route for the anime, which has some different story elements.

[izmosmolnar]

There was one thing I didn't really liked (other than the sound +subtitles were delayed for some reason O.o, but that might be the streaming's fault): How the imperial soldiers were looking more like some European Knights from the Middle Age era, and they don't even remind me one bit to the Roman Legions they've been in the PC game.

Spoiler for storydifferences:

I didn't even knew they were different in the story (other than obviously skipping the frequent, almost unbearable, sometimes borderline ridiculous ero-scenes.

Spoiler for gamespoiler:

(Oh Rusty, you are infected! Don't worry! I happen to know a great treatment! ).

Care someone, who's familiar with both plot explain, what are the differences? No need to go into great details, just an overview.

[xizro345]

Actually the Empire armors are almost identical to those in the PS3 game (which I've finished less than a month ago, so memory is still fresh). Gaius' armor, from the designs I've seen on Dengeki Online, looks different.

Oh come on, some of the ero scenes werent ridiculous........a few of them werent......... well 5 or 6 of them...I forget, werent there like 18 ?

Lol Rusty, I so laughed at the premise and fastforwarded that. And come on, the end to the first scene with Morgan made you crack up.

Lyrr learned how to properly milk a cow a few days after the firsst scene. Lol, She had the most hilarious moments.
