+ Show Spoiler + I don't think it was ever explicitly stated what Navi is, maybe some representation of dragonkind from the "good" dragon lineage? I dunno. There was a lot to be desired from back lore to be filled in. The story kind of lost its way a little bit and I don't know if its because they cut stuff to cram it into 1 cour or they said "dragons N boobs should be good enough! Who needs a coherent story!". I agree that the character designs were quite sub par, mostly because they inflated every female characters chest to silly levels and their clothing/uniforms were very plain. Also those "horns" of eco's were kinda lame, should have made them more like horns and not just weird bump things on her head. I didn't rate the series highly (I think a 6?). Edit: Yes its a light novel adaptation so that probably contributes to what I said in the spoiler. | ||

It just felt like they tried hard to sexualize (if that's a word lol) the anime when you didn't need to go that far. The maid, Silvia's sister, that crazy chick that started to love Ash after he tried to save Silvia etc... it's ... not ... needed! lol. I thought the horns were ok though. She was supposed to be a child in my eyes so smal horns fit that. | ||

Just pulled up the wiki and here is what it says about Navi: + Show Spoiler + Navi is the overseer of the Dragon Workshop and has all the knowledge of past dragons. Her appearance is what Eco 'might' become in a few years. She is later revealed to be the incarnation of the Dragweiss itself which is considered the dragon race's Akashic Records. At some point in the future, Eco will absorb Navi, gaining access to the full knowledge, wisdom, and power of the Dragonweis. By doing so, she will direct the future of the Dragon race. | ||

nooooooo Akai's group is all wiped out :O I figured as much when I saw them in the sea before and they needed them death to have another subjugation squad (most likely).

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IDtokr9.jpg) Finished my GM Sniper K9. I came to like its design a lot more while building it, while at the same time came to fucking loath its legs, because there is a peg in its upper leg, near where it meets the hip, that just keeps fucking falling off. I wonder if it would have killed Bandai to have made that peg even a 3rd of a centimeter longer?

Yea but the first season of 00 had 25 episodes and the second has 25. Seed had 50 in one season and then season 2 (seed destiny) had another 50. Age was I guess had 50 episodes straight but GBF has 25 for the first season and likely another 25 for second season I think the only current/recent sunrise show that matches gundam seed / destiny in episode count is probably Aikatsu with 50 in first season and 50 in second season and that's generally what I'm trying to say. Its rare to see one season of an anime get more than 2 cours at max right now. | ||

There was Space Bros which was 99 eps, and both Daiya and Jojo are scheduled to be 4 cour. HxH is also still going at over 100eps, and Toriko recently ended which was about that length too but they do fall under the category of super long shounen. Arguably, Puchimas counts too in terms of sheer episode count lol. Also the Precure franchise tends to be 4 cour as well. | ||

At that, I'd shit more on their adaptations since those are the real horror from them anyway. That. They have shown an overwhelming preference in terms of original works for a sol self-discovery thing with a dash of shoujo. When the overall structure of the shows aren't too different, the characters end up being pretty much the same thing too. I did hear talk of nagiasu switching things up a bit, but the people I see liking that show are also the people whose opinions I disagree with the most. Sooooo yeah I won't deny some similarities, and it's true they are going for the sol self-discovery thing, but I don't think that warrants calling them all copypastes with nothing new added. True Tears, Tari Tari and NagiAsu are all fairly different I'd say. As for the adaptions, I don't know how they compare to the source. I liked Uchouten Kazoku, the others I've seen were lackluster. | ||

The episode titles alone tell you pretty much what it's going to cover if you've ever listened to the music before. And apparently you didn't even notice the insert songs are the same as the episode titles or that they are all written by Jin because Kagerou Project. Alternatively, you can view it as a Vocaloid commercial, in which case it almost worked on you. i'm aware of everything you just mentioned... one after the other: 1) i wasn't a kagerou fan when i watched it so there might be other people like me out there who haven't heard the songs. so no, not wanting to spoiler isn't ridicolous at all imo. Also I'd say it's quite unlikely for people who are traversing this thread to have the combination of a) knowing the songs in the first place b) needing recommendations. 2) i know that they're all by the same guy... like i said I did look it up a little. I just copy & pasted from MAL to get it right and that does happen to include the very obvious "by jin" 3) the copy&pasted name for the song in #11 for example is, as you mentioned, the name of the episode and it's been like that ever since ep2 so even if I didn't realize it I'd have to realize it while looking it up and pasting for the post you just quoted lol, so yes I'm aware.

I think I need to watch the movie because that ending only made the base amount of sense and was really stupid. you sure you haven't just watched the movies? Because the ending of madoka, the series, was the one that was great, that people loved and that actually did make sense to a point where you felt like it's a finished series and doesn't need a continuation at all. Until the third movie came along, changed the whole thing up, ends with a cliffhanger that makes very little sense and made people angry because it does need a continuation... | ||

Eca quite likes Uchouten Kazoku, to be fair. His position is when they actually adapt the source correctly then they have a far less likely chance of screwing things up. | ||
