Berseria seems to be darker as in your MC is sort of an anti-hero. She hesitates at times, but most of the times, she follows the philosophy that the end justifies the means. Zestiria is very altruistic and "good" compared Berseria's more dark, anti-heroish tone, but I don't think thats really a bad thing. I enjoyed pretty much all of Zestiria's cast too, other than Dezil (who barely felt part of the team). I dunno what would make Sorey "unsufferable". Hes a nice guy who tries to do the right things, but hes also not a dick about it, and hes not perfect either. Maybe if he was a holier-than-thou sort of character with no flaws to speak of, I could see a reason to dislike him, but thats not really the case here. If I had to compare them, I would say Zestiria's cast overall slightly edges out Berseria's, Berseria's story is better, the exploratory/adventury feel in Zestiria is a bit more appealing than the grimdark in parts Berseria, and gameplay they are kind of equal (I don't like the Soul system in Berseria, and I like the GATTAI system in Zestiria, but the camera in Zestiria is much worse). | ||

Just how good is it (I believe the general consensus is that it is pretty good overall) and what anime can it be compared to in some way? | ||

Just how good is it (I believe the general consensus is that it is pretty good overall) and what anime can it be compared to in some way? Never watched the show, but I did read a good chunk of the manga. I guess it's okay. None of the characters are particularly interesting, because they really just exist to fill their particular niche. This also means that the character arcs ended up being pretty meh in general. In particular, anything that dealt with the obligatory genius detective wasn't very good. Mystery-wise, I think it was fine. IIRC, they actually give you a good amount of information about the case, enough to make the solution not seem like a total asspull. Things started to get a little samey 60+ chapters in (at which point I dropped it), but I don't know how far the anime gets. The obvious comparison would be Detective Conan. | ||

The character development is really top notch, should give it a try again. I'm sure you'd like this new season over the last. Uh, I heavily disliked s1 so I can't imagine s2 to raise to any level above mediocrity in terms of my enjoyment. Thanks for the heads up though. On February 08 2017 08:48 Lackbleeder wrote: Finished Zegapain and it was pretty legit. The plot developed smoothly and was very enjoyable, there were enough minor twists to keep you engaged and each episode felt like it had purpose. While the characters weren't extraordinary by themselves they had good chemistry with eachother and were all likeable. The main selling point was definitly the world however, Zegapain had one of the more interesting worlds i've seen and explored it really well. + Show Spoiler + A bit too well infact because by the time the final assault had started I felt the show ran out of material to talk about and the ending was just there to give closure and tie up all the loose ends. I don't dislike it but it was pretty standard and I was perfectly satisfied by that point. Luckily the ending didn't ruin anything before it and concluded the character arcs nicely so I'll take it. The production values were subpar though. The animation was average for the most part and the cgi didn't age so well, not to mention that the character models looked odd even during still shots. Really wish this show was given more love in that department but it's not a dealbreaker, you aren't watching it for the sakuga anyway. Now hopefully somebody bothers to sub the prequel movie that was released recently. Also thanks Sent for reminding me about the ms igloo ova's, completely forgot about them. Yeah, Zegapain was pretty good indeed. Kind of underrated show. The only real gripes I had were the fights (they were all copy&pasted and they were boring even the first time around) and the ending, which could have been executed better imho. On February 08 2017 09:10 BigFan wrote: Made it to the dark tournament arc in Yu Yu Hakusho. Seems ok so far. Only thing I don't like is the overhyping of Toguro! A lot of anime end up hyping characters so it's nothing new here but kinda wish they kept it reasonable: + Show Spoiler + he defeated 5 demons that had huge spiritual powers on his own in the same ring and that was at 40%. Like, how do you even top that when Urameshi had trouble with one opponent who was strong but nowhere as Toguro? Plus, he has limits and only had two months of practice on top. Hope the dark tournament ending doesn't disappoint lol. + Show Spoiler + Yeah, lol. That whole % shit was so ridiculous. :D "And now I increase my powers to 55 %. You can't handle that!" 5 episodes of that shit. I admit that I skipped a fair bit of those 5 episodes because that was some of the most dragged out shit I have seen to date (note, I didn't watch Dragon Ball and I dropped One Piece for this reason...). Like, they could have finished the fight in one episode or even less than that. All in all Toguro was a decent villain though. Better than the next one for sure... Dark Tournament was pretty ok as an arc. I think the ending might surprise you. I kind of liked it, even though it felt cut short. Tell me how you liked it once you are done.

This is kind of rare to say, but... the anime for YYH is so much better than the manga. The manga isn't bad, but its just not nearly as good. It spends like 2 volumes with Yusuke as a ghost in the beginning, and pretty much everything afterwards lacks the meat the anime had to it as well. It doesn't help that the scanlations I found for it are horrendous. Well, HxH 2011 also is an improvement over the manga. I guess Togashi's style doesn't work as well in manga-form? | ||

I think it was about MC being son of one of the 3 demon lords(which was about to die cause he refused to eat humans out of his love for MC's mother ? i vaguely remember) or something and then them having some tournament again but with the demons. | ||

That's the next one after the one after Dark Tournament. After the Dark Tournament was Chapter Black, which was actually a pretty nice change in pace for me. The arc didn't end very well, mostly because it transitioned in the arc you are thinking of. | ||

She was more like an NPC who joins you sometimes at the beginning. | ||
