I have no idea why but I keep watching Arpeggio and unlike other shows I keep watching despite not knowing why I wouldn't say I dislike it or it's boring. For whatever reason I somehow like that show and I don't know why.

I suppose it is rather unfair to just say that Japan sucks at fantasy, so let me tighten that up a bit. In the context of this thread, that is more like "the anime industry sucks at high fantasy". Some do seem to excel in just piecing mythologies together and creating something, but the quality and mileage on that heavily varies. Don't really see any high fantasies survive without mixing in heavy parody or comedy usually.


I could definitely agree with that. Like I mentioned earlier there have been plenty of anime where when initially looking into them thought had really cool ideas and concepts but then failed horribly at executing them. What ones do you think were well done or at least decent?


Lodoss War
Juuni Kokuki (not finished)
Slayers

The problem is that many fantasy also got random mecha thrown into it... such as

Scrapped Princess
Utawarerumono
Escaflowne


I dont think any of the first 3 will have aged well for someone whos looking for fantasy. Most of those ride on nostalgia value.

Have you tried going back to reach watch slayers ? I love it, I even went through lost universe. but I wouldnt ask anyone to watch it :p

The mecha in any of the bottom three is exactly random btw, its kinda central to the stories.

Well, they make sense in the story, but mecha is not exactly a high fantasy element.

If they were magical suits of armor that you don, does that make it better? I had the talk with sent a while back, but to me those felt more fantasy than they did mecha lol

Guymelefs are basically giant suits of armor powered by the hearts of slain dragons and magic. Very fantasy stuff. But they are also mecha, especially in Escaflowne's case.

Because sea ships with laser beams are cool? If that is the show you are talking about. I haven't watched it cause I heard how the A.I.s are all little girls. I know it's and anime, but still? You'd think I 'd be used to this by now.

Non Non Biyori might be aots. Gingitsune needs to pick up the slack.

I think I'll wait until episode 4 before saying anything about this season. Most of the shows are funny so far...but not in a good way.

It's pretty much just straight mecha duels with fan service and a simple tournament plot except for Reiji who is probably some sort of time traveler, I hear he is a newtype. I'm not a big enough Gundam fan to catch all the references like Mr. Ral being Ramba Ral in appearance and voice actor. Though I watched the dub of 0079 so I don't recognize the voice actor anyways.

Wouldn't be fair to use all that pew pew when his opponent only has vulcans and a beam saber.

Also, 'Crimson Comet' is a double reference. The show is full of them, and I love it.

Is it just me or were there some slight yuri undertones in the NNB ep?
