I need a more deep and compelling story line. I am sure if I was 10 years younger, I would be drooling for this show.

The protag was surprisingly likable, despite constantly whining and all-in-all being an extreme morale-fag. Also thought his "I don't hit women" was annoying as well. Was hoping in one of the episodes he'd finally realize he was more being an ass than having good morals in that respect.
Though the fight scenes were as anime-ish as ever. Half the fights are the people fighting talking or outsiders giving their opinion on the the fight, the other half is actually fighting. Fights are always both fighters extremely underestimating each other and always calling the fight over before it's actually over, and then acting surprised at nearly everything their opponent does.
Also the ending felt really abrupt.
Still, it was a fun show that I enjoyed and would watch more of. Looks like I started it at a good time too. An OVA is coming out in a few weeks for it. Abrupt ? Its the end of an arc, theres like god knows many after that. Besides the anime is like what 5-6 years old ? Sentenal will tell you thats really ollllldddddddddd. Its a reasonably long running series at this point. Not that it gets amazing or anything/ Thats kinda the formula for most shounenesque fight stuff anyway I dont think it tries to trick you into thinking otherwise at any point. + Show Spoiler +It took him 450 something chapters to hit a girl.. once. Infact it was pretty recent. + Show Spoiler + Its pretty generic with lots of teaser style ecchi and more of what you are talking about. I didnt get some of the things you were talking about but maybe I just dont remember. It doesnt happen like that in the manga anyway (well aside from the explaining of whats going on. Its more of the same later really Masters are more involved, lots of godlike stuff going with them fighting people, panty shots, Miuservice etc etc. With Kenichi just being in the way because well its him. + Show Spoiler + He jumps down from the sky and says "I'm back", then it rolls to credits. No after the large finale battle talk, no "well what happens now?", no celebration after defeating the guys you spent the last 40+ episodes having to deal with, just done. End of the series as anime fans know it. No real closure makes it a pretty abrupt ending.
I know it's old lol, I saw it's release date. I'm not really sure your point in bringing that up.
It not the end....lol that just the first arc. The manga still going....and the manga is getting ridiculously silly imo. Doubt they will ever make a season 2. It been quiet a while already. + Show Spoiler + It was the end, because nothing else came after it in terms of anime. Hence, it was the last episode, and the end. Not asking for them to do something like: "He lived happily ever after", or "And he was the strongest ever, the end". Just some sort of actual conclusion showing the aftermath of the battle. Feels unsatisfactory for him and his group to win this large fight, and then not be told what happened to those involved afterwords.
It not the end -.-....they did that on purpose so if they ever wanted to, they could add in a season 2 without totally screwing up the plot and the manga wise. We dont want another Full metal alchemist brotherhood situation to happen again, it was a good thing brotherhood was really good. But the point is, is that it is not the end. Just read the manga and you will understand. In fact, it a perfect ending imo. It leave them room if they want to ever start a season 2 or not since it can end it here (which they probably are). + Show Spoiler + Alright I see what you mean now. Started reading the manga where the anime left off (good to see it followed it so close), and right away I see they literally just jumped into the next arc. So I guess the ending they did was the best for the series, rather than getting some closure and risking screwing up the series.
Also, from the previews of the OVA, it looks like it jumps in right where the anime left off. Which like you said, makes its seem likely they'll make a second season.
+ Show Spoiler +Just wait till you see everyone going dragon ball Z mode and you wished you had stop at the anime lol Yea have to agree I wouldnt recommend trying to catch up on it. Its not worth catching up on at all. Your time would be better served elsewhere. Also no I dont think there will be a second season, they throw in ova's sure but second season is highly unlikely. Not that its something particularly to look forward to. There wont be a 2nd season imo. Rereading my post, I did sound like I implied there would be a 2nd season but I must of mistyped because I meant there wont be a 2nd season. I only said that they left the ending in the anime uncertain to give the possibility of a second season but they ended it on a arc so it also looked like the series also end. This gave them the choice of either ending it here or starting a new season later. I am 80% sure there wont be, maybe if the ova does well but the ova have to do like AMAZING. Which I dont think it will do, it will probably just do well -> good.
Xros Wars II deals with some kind of power that allows crossing over Dimensions and Time. Daisuke (Davis) from 02 is set to appear with how old he was in 02, but Taichi (Tai) and Mimi are still in their Adventures ages instead of how old they were in 02.
Keeping in mind every season of Digimon takes place in different dimensions, aside from the first 2 taking place in the same dimension and both seasons of Xros Wars taking place in the same dimension.

It was terrible. Second I really liked her story and her story with Yuela. I mean this CG is just awesome. I was really sad that she might've really died when I killed her the first time in the ruins. But it's all good =D I was so happy when she joined my party. Besides Teleportation is kick ass. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Fbjbo.jpg)

Why would there be closure ? Its not the end of the story, what you want ? A big party celebrating the fact that he did in the larger context things pretty much nothing ? They probably felt like they should leave it open for continuing it just incase. Theres tons of shows like that. Maybe because its the first time youve seen it that it feels unfulfilling but its nothing particularly unique or annoying to most people. You could say the same things for almost any show that has alot of source material and the majority of shounen anime adaptations. Theres a plethora of characters in there that got decent time aswell. It wasnt all about him so that lends to explaining the length of the show in itself.
Id rather they do this then some convoluted conclusion they always tend to come up with when they do attempt closing it out.
No there was nothing wrong with what you implied. We said the same thing, you probably missed it.

I'm playing what I assume is the last stage now... saved about halfway through last night since I had to get up early.
I voted for Crayanne, but there really isn't a character I don't like so far. She's probably my favorite overall, as she's great in combat too. I also really like Suina (though she has been left behind in levels), Melodiana, and Kohakuren. As far as combat goes, my favorites are probably Uya, Melodiana, and Yuela.
I'd like Emelita a lot more if she had long hair with her initial uniform/CG.

But obviously Godslayer is the best clothes in terms of stats =/. on another note Undress Rank 3 is OP. My favorites Combat units are
Yuella, Ragsmuena, and Eushully/Servalwi because enhanced battery Siege Mode is too good
Yuella was pretty strong already when you get her Undress 3 as a fail safe it's kinda hard to die to anything.
|
Yeah, Yuela is strong, but I don't have Undress for her myself. I always thought it was just an enemy skill. Whenever it activates on them, I always hit for less and miss about half the time. Would make Yuela even more powerful if she had it herself. :o
I didn't get Ragsmuena until the beginning of last chapter, so I haven't made room for her when I've already developed a full roster of characters I like. The bit I have used her has been nice, though.

Though I can't find myself using Aht or Suina at all >.< and After getting the Eushully crew I usually just use the main crew + Eushully + Ragsmuena and that would fill up all my slots/Command points
Unfortunately that means Crayl and Crayanne doesn't see any action. I do occasionally use Melodiana though since she's strong.
So I looked up some of the extra uniforms that they wear (they were obviously references to Eushully's other games) + Show Spoiler [nsfw HCG but funny] + Yuella's Godslayer Armor + Show Spoiler + Emilita's Little Demon Armor (NSFW Cover Art) + Show Spoiler + Servalwi's Elven Princess Armor + Show Spoiler +

Also who'd vote Roka considering how the ikusamegami series aren't translated lol.
In terms of kamidori original characters I'd go with エリザスレイン, followed by ミレーヌ・プロア and ロサナ.

Mryen Proa? and Rosanna that was a easy one. Well let's get this out of the way first, I love Rosanna, I think she's an awesome character. She's a very cool character and she was someone that gave the player a feeling that, Sure I'll serve a lord like that. But I was not gonna put Rosanna on the poll just on the base that she wasn't a playable character. I was going to put Eriz and Mryen but no space so I put more of the characters that you encountered more along the story.
|
Half of the PCs have less in game lines and plot than Rosanna so lol at the fact that you included Roka, also the point was just that you could've made a 2nd poll to fill in the missing characters. Eliza was pretty important in the mandatory plot though. Incidentally fox has a real name.
tbh most of the kamidori characters sucked, but then again no one really expected Eushully to come up with something amazing character wise outside of the ikusamegami-genrin. The tie-in from Verita was good though. They could potentially continue the genrin plotline yet.

besides if Ecael said the characters sucked, the characters must've been amazing.

This is the first Eushully game I've played more than an hour or two worth, so I'm not familiar with characters that may have been in previous games. I just remember getting an H-scene or two with the cute loli from Himegari Dungeon Meister.
I didn't use Aht at first and she was stuck at level 8 for the longest time until I decided to level her up a bit for some of her scenes. Suina is really cute and fairly useful on some of the mid-level maps with all the physical resistant wraiths. But once they stopped appearing, she stopped getting a slot in most maps; I think she's stuck at 19 or so while the characters I use are all in the 40-45 range.
I used Crayl a lot when I first got him, but as soon as I got Crayanne she took his place... I actually haven't turned off battle animations yet if only because I like the scream she makes when she's hit and her battle CG.
I liked Rosanna a lot too, but I wouldn't vote for her if we were considering things on an overall scale. Eliza is useful and cute enough, but I think I like Melodiana more.
|
Thing w/ Angels in Eushully is that most of them are pretty boring like Melodiana simply because of settings for them. Eliza pretty much wins out to me in being one of the first Eushully angel that I didn't just yawn at for being stereotypical simply because how she is out for blood + witty. Oh yeah also angels generally blow because spear + holy + shit speed. Melodiana eventually gets a little better when she gets a 5range holy spell, but Eliza's passive, 3range nonelemental spell, aoe + equipment w/ sealing is just way too strong.

+ Show Spoiler [Chihayafuru 22] +I was expecting something a lil more creative from Yumin's character. But they made her a sharker and I was slightly dissapointed. Left a bad taste in my mouth when she beat Chihaya. I remember playing sharkers all the time in ygo, and I still see it frequently in tournies. Pretty scummy imo.
Good ep though, quality of the show never lets up.

Any one one the Eushully crew will kinda shit on Melodiana though, Since Eushully can learn Enhanced Battery which is 9 range. Black Eushully covers AoE with Endless heaven. And when it comes to Melee Eukleia with peerless swordsman will out shine Melodiana anyday.
but still I like Ragsmuena. She fills the command slot well,
Mains+Eushully Crew (No anastasia) + Ragsmuena
