I have no complain about the style of the character designs (already watched the OVA long ago), but I do have complain about unnecessarily-slutty getup donned by Farangis. This kind of MMORPG female attires always gave the impression that the wearer has weird fetishes. She could be an exibishionist or an "M" who is begging to be beaten and raped in a battle by a guy strong enough to defeat her *looking at American female superheroes in revealing tights*

(At this point I'd make a rhetoric demand that Daryun, Narsas, etc. go around shirtless, wearing low-rise pants for the entire story, but with this art style, I'm not sure I'd want that... ) Quote:
Yep. And I really don't look forward to the "oh no it's Kaji" and "oh noes how will the show survive him!!" whining from the haters... Last edited by kuromitsu; 2015-03-01 at 13:38. |

I was excited to hear they were making this but now that I've seen the character designs.....well, I'll still watch it, but I'm pretty damn disappointed. They are such dull, ugly designs compared to the Amano art. Oh well, I'll try to overlook that and hope the story is good.

(I'm glad that I'm not the only one who doesn't like these designs...)
Re: the story, if they 1) follow the novel and 2) manage to get 24-26 episodes and 3) reach the logical point of conclusion then it'll be good, if most likely pretty rushed or at the very least streamlined. It's the presentation that I'm worried about. Hopefully it will be less "Arakawa Hiromu" and more "Tanaka Yoshiki". By the way, your sig makes me imagine the characters as designed by Yuuki Nobuteru... what a glimpse of "could have been"... |

See, the character designs aren’t bad at all when it’s properly animated. That’s why I didn’t complain about it (though I still don’t like Farangis’ slutty getup). Yes, things could’ve been better (like 80% of things in entertainment industry out there) but I like what I see so far. Music is very good, really got you in the mood. All that matters now is the animation quality consistency and how they execute the story.

More importantly, though... they'll start with the first chapter of the manga?! No no no... ;______; I so hoped they'd cut that. That's just so wrong! Quote:
Sigh, let's hope for the best. |
