+ Show Spoiler + I liked it. The main girl Takaya grew a lot, and I was kind of surprised how Jung and Amano turned out, though I have to say I didn't like them so much. The universe needed some work, but that wasn't really the point of the anime. Ending was satisfying, bittersweet yet heartwarming. I actually half expected with all the time dilation science that was going on in the anime that Jung would calculate exactly how long it would take Amano/Takay to come back and warp around the sun for 12k years..... But that's probably asking for too much, haha. Oh, and the OST was great! ^^ | ||

Well, I only watched 1 episode yet (40 munites wtf, I didn't know animes were doing such "pilot" episodes), so I can't really comment on the quality just yet. I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but at least after 20 minutes I could figure out that I've been watching three DIFFERENT male's storyline, so that's a start. I was like "how does he change his voi-- OOOOOOOHHH". I'm still confused about the 3 years ago and 1 year ago things, and I have no idea if the child will born 3 years from now, or he/she was born 3 years ago, but screw it, details! I'm looking forward to it, because it's beautiful (yeah-yeah, it's about the quality blah blah, but I really dig these better drawn, more colourful animes) and looks interesting with all these master-servant relationships and the eventual fights. I'm not even sure who's the good guy, if there's any. Yeah, black haired guy number 2 with his lovely wife seems like our protagonist, but the bug-guy seems more honest after one episode. You know, the one who wants to protect that girl... from that guy... because... I don't know, I could barely read all that stuff, let alone process it, but he's cool, aside from looking like someone who just found out about cocaine. Howewer, there's one thing I hate and it's not related to the anime. If I'm reading a topic about "should I watch F/Z or F/SN first", I don't want to see comments like "I found F/Z's ending + Show Spoiler + anti-climatic | ||

F/Z and FSN are akin to starwars (or any prequel situation with a pretty linear time progression) in that if you watched 4-6 before 1-3, you kind of know whats going to happen at the end of 3, even if that was production order, though it's perfectly watchable going 1-6 and not miss any details. | ||

Because going by what you said, we can use any random adjective to describe F/Z's ending and you can throw a fit. Saying it's + Show Spoiler + anti-climatic 1. I don't care, if that said person liked the ending or not, and especially don'T want to know what he or she did not like about it. The ending doesn't even have to do anything about the main question, which is about continuity, aka "will I understand F/Z if I start with that first?". Who would say then that the ending is not that good? 2. + Show Spoiler + The anime is about an artifact (or whatever) that grants (supposedly) any wish you want from it. That is endless possibilities, so if someone says it was anti-climatic, that pretty much spoils that I shouldn't expect much. You might say that he was wrong, and it's just his opinion, but I'll still watch close to 25 episodes or so, thinking the ending won't be great. These are the worst people out there. - Hey, how's that anime/series/movie? - Not bad dude, though the ending can be seen from miles away, and it's not too ballsy. - Thanks man, you just made those precious minutes al lthe more exciting! As I said, at least phrase it some other way. "It sucks, it's bad, I didn't like it, terrible", whatever, it's still better than giving away what is bad with it. But back to my 1st point: It should not have been mentioned at all. I can't even stand if I see someone else spoilered, it's like witnessing a robbery.

You don't need to watch FSN first. It might help with some nuances and details, but it explains it well enough. The first episode does a good job at setting up the entire thing, and it gets into more detail as it goes. The novel is translated as well, so you can download and read that too if you wish for more info / background / detail.

Well, thanks, it was exactly what I wanted to know, and that's why I googled the question. Without any information it's hard to know beforehand - I almost started with Clannad Afterstory back then, but then i googled it as well. It would've been awkward, that every character is crying, and I'd be like "WHO ARE YOU?", haha. Edit: that being said, I only started clannad because I was watching DBZ vids, and somehow I got to random anime selection videos (top 10 blahblah) and ran into some preeeeeettty big spoilers. So... I guess there are good kind of spoilers as well. No one could've convinced me to start Clannad, because I'd just say "gaaaaay" and turned it down. | ||

comparison: no plot spoiler + Show Spoiler + F/Z is just on another level compared to F/SN. F/SN pretty disappointing in terms of quality of everything I would recommend watching F/Z and waiting for the new release of F/SN(?) to come out. It'll be made be same studio so more consistent I hope. | ||

But I believe we can all agree that animation-wise + soundtracks are great. For me, FZ >>>>>> FSN anime | ||

Edit: By the way, something's horribly wrong if you're putting that much stock into what other people say. I could easily describe a good hundred or so anime as having an anti-climactic ending, and I wouldn't even be lying from my perspective. Just watch the show and enjoy it if you enjoy it. ~_~ | ||

Diebuster helps make Gunbuster's ending even better, too. On that note, if you ever do decide to watch Diebuster (since its Gunbuster's sequel), keep in mind its more similar in style to Gurren Lagann and FLCL, than it is to Gunbuster. | ||

About "anti-climatic" : Again, this can be subjective. I thought FZ ending was perfect (and coming from someone who watched FSN after watching FZ) Kind of like The last of Us + Show Spoiler + some people found it disappointing, but I found it perfect | ||

Giving a subjective opinion on the ending of something is not a spoiler. People giving you no information other than that they feel that something is subpar...doesn't actually tell you anything. It is your fault for being an idiot and taking someone else's words as the gospel. Notice how something being anti-climatic doesn't actually limit any possibilities with the outcome of the show, at least, nothing beyond your decision that it is going to suck. Following that logic, do all the people that just sang praises of F/Z balance out the anti-climatic opinion? Are you now overhyped and pissed again that it is going to be such an epic ending? As for people elaborating what they feel is wrong about the show, you know, you are very much welcome to form an opinion of the show yourself. If you can't watch something and form your own opinion without having it influenced by people on the internet to the point of it ruining your experience. Then do yourself a favor and don't browse the web. On September 23 2013 12:58 Volband wrote: As of now, I'm watching it as a standalone anime. That doesn't change the fact that some might find the ending anti-climatic for whatever reason, nor does it actually tell you anything because you don't know jackshit about the series to make conjectures on.

While waiting for some response I read the first volume of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and by golly it's amazing. I'm about halfway through Elfen Lied and it feels like the story have just started, Cant believe there's only 13 episodes. A nice surprise to see Amazon made something like this available for free to Prime users. Bit too much gratuitous nudity. The opening song is godlike. Garren Lagan seems to be another slow starter. Hope the pace will increase or the story would turn darker soon. Too much "power of nakama " and "willpower overcomes all" tropes for my taste. The reviews are very very good though, otherwise I would have dropped it. | ||
