Finally came back to watching this after being disappointed with first few episodes and have to say it was worth watching. Its really too bad the first 2-3 episodes for me at least just seemed really meh, personally because of the "meats" concept which ended up on the back burner after the first few.

It is very common that popular culture is flooded with those "low-class", cheesy kinds of work. People wants to be entertained so they flourishes. It is okay for this. However, at the same time, do we give enough chance for other kinds of work survive? That is the problem. I admit that I also like watching anime for moe and fan-service. I watch K-on!, Queen Blade... At the same time, I watch this series and I will support Yamagata-san to make more good stories. Quote:
Spoiler for an unconfirmed spoiler in volume 10:
That part (Mirepoc lost memory) is original and I think it didn't fit in the whole theme. Love/emotion = past/memory is valid in the whole story. Acutally, in arc 5, the wizard Charlotte (the fat wizard) said to Olivia, "You don't love anyone because you have forgotten." When Olivia (and those meats) got their memories back, she then knew that she loved and was loved. Quote:

Yes, that was what she meant. Chacoli and she didn't know Nieniu before they got into Ruruta. So, they planned to kill Ruruta but not satisfy Nieniu. Quote:

finally finished this, it was a funny experience which can be described as:
the first few episodes were like they tell their story and dont care what u think, very confusing and chars with funny names... but somehow managed to keep we following the story gets better at the mid-way point, especially the sad ones, started to get used to the chars and the way they act the ending is acceptable but not really great, i guess it is hard for me to believe so many chars go from "im gonna kill u" to "i will protect u" in such a short time overall i think this is the surprise title of the last 2 seasons, worth to watch |

Finished this series, it was great, definitely a sleeper hit. There aren't many anime out there with a mature, thought provoking story like this series had. Noloty was my favorite, her fate was sad, but I was glad to see her again in the finale, I think a story focused on the cowgirl would have been interesting, she seems a character I could have liked more if she was fleshed out a little more. The ending was great seeing all them characters

Listening to the soundtrack, and wow does it deliver. All the pieces i wanted from the series are here, together with some i don't remember all that well. I think a rewatch is in order, especially seeing as though i wouldn't mind watching it again.
Anyone else listened to it yet?

I'm really surprised that it got licensed. As much as I love this series, I thought that the general lack of fans during the initial showing would forever doom this series. So many people missed out on this one because it defied quite a few of today's conventions for anime story-telling.
News of the licensing has given me reason to re-watch the show and damn...a 2nd viewing of this show is definitely recommended to see how the seeds of future events were planted and then woven into a complex tapestry. |
