Watching it from the off, just gotten to season two when we get this gem:
"Just make sure you don't get surrounded by the enemy!" "Surrounded how?" "Well, like in the circle like you are in right now..." "Oh, so that's what I'm getting wrong about this whole "Circle the enemy" Plan!"
I watched two episodes. The art is really shiny, but sometimes the animation is a little wooden like old 3D animation used to be. The plot is extremely generic JRPG fantasy shtick. The only character so far that I care about at all is Alibert. Everyone else I don't give two shits about. Might watch a few more episodes to see if something develops. It's not bad, but I don't know if it's really worthy of this thread with almost 100 posts in it. If you're watching this, but you haven't watched Hajime no Ippo yet, you're doing it wrong.
I agree. The only character that was decent was Nox, and the first season only picked up after episode 15. I don't understand why so many audiences are too focused on the "rhetorical" aspects of an anime, a show, or a movie, such as CGI effects, art style, character design, etc.
Thank goodness I joined Front Row Crew! I've been desperately searching the Internet for people who don't evaluate shows based solely on their technical merits but also their more literary merits.
Well, look at videogames. A lot of "games journalism" focuses on how much money games make and technical aspects, without reviewing things like "gameplay."

I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the fact that if you give a game that people are hyped for a bad review, or a game by someone people don't like or that people don't like the look of a good review, basically you're going to get abused and accused of being a shitty games journalist and/or being on the take from XYZ publisher for as long as people remember you exist. Oh, and if you go with popular opinion, you're accused of either pandering, being a corporate shill for that company trying to hype people, or both.
The safest thing to cover so that you don't get fucking death threats are the aspects where you can say "X is X, here's where that data is, Y is what this means, and this is all concrete fact and nothing that might threaten your treasured opinions."

That's quite sad. I normally don't trust most reviews, unless the reviews are actually talking about the truly defining aspects of whatever medium it's reviewing.

I'm still tempted to get all those damn figures for the game, but I know better. For now.
Thoughts on the show?
Edit: Just realized why I find his voice annoying. It sounds like Strongbad. Ugh.
