I'd never say NGNL or Mahouka are good shows, but they were amazingly entertaining in their trashy way and so was Twintails for me. No problem rating that really highly if you're aware of that but just have to admit that it WAS entertaining in a sit back and just enjoy it without thinking about it kind of way. There's absolutely no point in raging about something being rated "too good" if you even end up admitting that it was enjoyable. That's what most people end up rating... not the quality of the show. | ||

Plot threads get resolved in a fully predictable manner. I've mentioned it before, but Narsus is a literal tactical and strategic god with no counterpart. It's boring as hell. Things lack nuance. The Lusitanian guy (now girl) is the most egregious example of this. Her views are so hardcore that it's impossible to take her development seriously. When the whole "oh my god Arslan killed my lord" bit happened this ep, I just rolled my eyes. Surely there's a better way to continue the plot than with the most contrived of misunderstandings. And, of course, with the girl reveal, I guess it's time for romance. One thing LoGH got right was the balance between characters of the two sides. For every Yang, Poplan, and Schenkopp, we get a Reinhard, Mittermeyer, and Oberstein. They are all distinct, memorable characters who are likeable in their own way. Contrast this with Arslan: I can't name a single character on the Lusitanian side that I actually like. Hermes is the most important opposition Arslan has, but he is clearly portrayed as a massive dick. The viscount was okay, but he gets zero screentime. Bodin's just a madman. I have no real complaint about magic existing in the world. However, their usage of it thus far has been utter bullshit. It basically boils down to plot convenience. There's also some weird stuff that ends up having zero plot relevance. What was the point of not killing Xandes the first time around if he just dies in the rematch without any new developments? Why did they bother showing Kubard rejoining Arslan when he's not integral to the story? Was there actually a point to the whole Sindura arc aside from recruiting Jaswant, who has done nothing? Your critics are spot on, couldn't have said it better!

I think they just want to watch something they would be able to complain about. If only they could remake it for the 2000s peasants like me  I tried 1 episode and was kind of turned off. I might try it again (assuming I haven't deleted it - any place to watch it on streaming in good quality?) | ||

Wit is known for having good animation in the beginning and then having it blow up later in the series (SNK, Rolling Girls, Owari). A movie should be far easier to do especially when it all gets completed in 1 go and has a lot more time for production. Eh Owari never had good animation but occasional drops into the world of awfulness. Rolling Girls animation was never really good but kind of consistent. I also wouldn't complain here because the show implemented some shoddy animation as part of the series, similar to Kill la Kill. For SnK I can't really say because I watched it as one of my first animes and at that time I had no idea about animation and didn't pay attention to it, either. All I can remember is that the action scenes looked good to me. But I don't know whether that was because of the animation or because it was well choreographed.

Really it's just a symptom showing exactly what kind of show the general anime base views as "good" and one that was being currently discussed. Pretty much what Numy said. I would also add that there never was some kind of tension because every game ended in an asspull to let the siblings win. It's cool and enjoyable if you are interested to see what kind of asspull the show dishes out next but it's not a sign of quality. Every author can come up with some crap if it literally doesn't matter what it is as long as it solves the problem.

The animation is shoddy but it shouldn't detract from the show. | ||

Hi certified Haruhi Suzumiya Fanboy here Watch it in broadcast order. It has a nice buildup trust me i;ve already seen both chronological and broadcast(and the other broadcast order but do the original broadcast order). the image guide that numy posted is legit you can use that as a guide | ||

What gave you the idea that I was into lolis? lol The fact that NGNL did this was one of the reasons I rated it as bad because I found it to be.... very questionable to say it positively. Anyways, it was the only yuri I remember clearly. There might have been some Jibril-Bullygirl action in one episode or so but I can't really remember. | ||

What do you think about anyways when you watch good anime? I mean, It's not very hard to figure out to begin with. If the show is good, then that will just make the show easier to figure out not harder.

All the sakuga fans I know were ecstatic over the first 3 episodes. Then the good animator left cause working on it was too tiring and then the animation exploded and rip. | ||
