| That actually sounds not terrible. Will give it a look. |
| I'm praying that they don't take the route that follows the manga adaptation. I strongly dislike the way the manga looks like + the changes they did. |
| It's not ecchi nor otaku pandering. If you want a description based on type of story, it's mostly like a combination of a westerner fantasy novel coupled with mystery and psychological element about betrayer in your rank. |
 |
| Can you compare it to the movie Reservoir Dogs? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
genres: action, adventure, mystery, fantasy, magic Yessss! no demographic tag this will be good. |

 |
| Finally some exciting news, I've waited for this. Hope they'll make good& faithful adaptation, Rokka deserves that. |
| Seems cool, might watch it |
 |
| Great news, Add to my plan to watch list :) |
 |
| Seems like my previous post was missed by the staff. So again : the op is wrong, Rokka no Yuusha's author isn't Toru Kei, it's Yamagata Ishio. Toru Kei is the author of that "manga adaptation" of the LN. Can you compare it to the movie Reservoir Dogs? Sorry, I don't think I ever saw a movie called reservoir dogs, so I can't~ |
|
| It's the first Tarantino movie (and one of his best ones imho) about a bunch of criminals who need to find a traitor amongst themselves after a failed heist. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| will be reading the novel next year for sure and watching the anime also |
| I haven't read the novel, but this looks amazing. |
sevendeadlywins said: yay another generic shonen action "fight to the death" anime Except it's not a shounen, and that last time I checked, a fantasy setting with proper mysteries (including a locked room mystery) and psychological with an unknown betrayer in your ranks (including a part in enclosed space) is everything but generic. I don't know what they will make of it in the anime, but the original material at the very least is about as far away from generic for a fantasy work as you could found. Even the divine powers from the Saints are fairly interesting, like power of the swamp, power of salt, power of words, of fresh blood, and so on. The main enemies are very interesting as well. Manipulative, understanding people's psychology, they play with other's feelings, inciting betrayal, despair and suspicion. |

| I don't think this series is going to be particularly well received for a number of reasons. Mostly, you're going to have a bunch of people knock it just because it's a light novel adaptation (regardless of whether or not they have read the series or any other light novel) because it's like the cool thing to do. Also, I just can't see this making a good anime, I don't really know why I think this but between characters nyaning constantly and characters spending a lot of time discussing stuff rather than killing each other I think people won't enjoy it. But at any rate I am excited because the forums will probably be a good laugh since I've already read the novels. *Spoiler* Nashetania is a carrot thief. P.S I suppose you could compare it to Reservoir Dogs but I wouldn't do that. The tone, characters and settings are all too far apart so you should probably just take it as its own thing. |
| Now being incompetent – that’s what’s best, really. To be completely obtuse. To be so oblivious as to never think for a second about one’s purpose in life, to never think about the meaning of life, to never think about the value of life. Then this world would be paradise. Calm, peaceful, and serene. Trivial things would be major, and major things trivial, and life could be lived to its fullest. |
| Most of the reactions from the LN readers at the anime announcements both on English and Japanese boards are the same, saying that this won't be properly adaptable in anime. Well, it's a tradition in the royal family to have animal ears/horns on the helm, like goldof who's a royal soldier has horns on his helm as well. Before reading I though that Nashetania was actually a rabbit girl like KuroUsagi from Mondaiji series x). Still wondering why cow ears for Rolonia though. Although that's kind of fitting her placid personality, she isn't related in any way with the royal family of that country. I haven't seen reservoir dogs then, so cannot tell. Although the movie seems quite interesting~ BTW, the mistake I pointed out earlier in the news is still not corrected~ |
