EPTI loved mahouka cause of how op tatsuya was and wanted to see what new op powers he would pull out next ep. To contrast, I dislike Inaho because of how emotionless he is and how absurd his opness is and he's not a likeable character like Tatsuya. However, I'll still take inaho over slaine cause fook slaine!

Lol Cause tatsuya does it in a more funny way. Maybe not intentionally funny, but just his delivery of lines and stuff. Inaho is just an emotionless blank slate. The one fault of mahouka is the brother/sis stuff cause I dislike incest stuff! Oh yeah the cousin love stuff in sao is a fault too that makes me uncomfortable! Them japanese and their cousin love! Always have to watch out for the cousin love flags when watching anime! I'm currently halfway through watching Kanon after watching clannad and air and was leery about the cousins to start out, but so far totally platonic!!  | ||

It seems like a mess of a LN series lol. I am almost done with the 1st one and if I didn't actually know everything already from the anime it would feel so rushed and confusing. Apparently he later retconned shit with SAO: Progressive as how he wanted it to turn out but that is years and many novels later so he had many years to sit and try to put his jumbled mass into something. Time, money, competition are huge factors though. The creative process seems so stifled under these conditions. Hell even in the SAO afterword the author basically makes it seem like it was just a mad scramble. | ||

If being OP was what it took to be a mary sue, pic related would be one of the biggest offender: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/M6j01ca.png) | ||

Kirito being a level above everyone else isn't what makes him a (imho) boring character, it's the way it was executed. If being OP was what it took to be a mary sue, pic related would be one of the biggest offender: + Show Spoiler + I agree with you. Kirito's character and inner logic were written like shit. Though sometimes I feel that when I disagree with a characters logic/actions/feelings I wonder how much of that is due to cultural differences and how much of it is poor writing lol. | ||

It's poor writing. This is a very bold statement for the anime community, but at least for most people here I can say that we're intelligent enough to disagree with a decision while respecting the character, or at least understanding why the decision was made. | ||

Not that studios themselves don't have flaws; we had a really cool initial premise with Aldnoah, for instance, from Mr Urobuchi himself, before he fucked-off after episode three, and it has shown. Thankfully he seems to have written core plot points for the studio to at least connect the dots. On another note, Under the Drama. I was never very hyped for this myself, as WELP TEENAGERS WHO'DA THOUGHT, but it did at least seem like it could've been neat. Hopefully the backers aren't disappointed. Relative to what? I offered two recent mecha anime for you to compare to, to tell me how its any more ambitious, creative, or well thought out than those two. Or give me some other specific examples. You don't rate an anime based on its premise, not that Aldnoah Zero is very unique in premise anyway. And the hard scifi in the show is so minor thats irrelevant to its plot. So what else is there to judge the anime on, other than its plot, execution, writing, visuals, and audio? | ||

For me, its cultural differences. They obviously don't make the best decisions because humans are always fallible but I do understand how a character in a serious story gets from one point to another without fail. What did you not like about kirito's logic or feelings? I've had the impression that he easily forgoes logic for emotions and acts like a white knight. I don't think he is particularly smart at all outside of the VR technology that he studies and I don't think the story says he is smart. | ||

I've never heard of either of those animes and didn't realize they were recent. Relative to other anime is indeed what I meant. The plot is pretty fun with some flaws, execution and writing factor in to that, the visuals are generally good (in my opinion) but can be jarring in the 2D/3D difference at times, and the audio is awesome. | ||
