pretty hilarious i think, even if many seem to dislike the humor o.ô
and, having not read the thing about gonzo distribution i watched a HD fansub, and can't understand how people can be content with youtube quality vs. 720p x.x

Favorite Line: "By the way - as soon as the fight is over I plan on returning to my home town and getting married~" XD

I was expecting a serious fantasy anime but that obviously is not what I got. But I'm rather glad that I didn't. That first episode was hilarious! I hope it stays parody-ish because right now I'm absolutely in love with it!

Wasn't what I was expecting, but I kind of liked the tongue in cheek sense of humor and the flipping around between dreams (while knocked out) and reality, well, alternate reality, and whatever else is going on here. Since I obviously have no clue what's really going on, I guess I'll have to watch more to find out. Decent first episode.

what the fuck did i just watch?

ok, i went into this knowing it was gonna be parody stuff, but this went overboard. While I'll admit most of it was somewhat humorous, the only real scene that actually made me laugh was, like most people, the tentacle scene. Which was quickly followed by disappointment of it not actually being a tentacle scene. Most all of the rest of it was rather bland. Really, is it really a good idea to start off an anime with an episode like this? Sure I guess it worked for haruhi, but I dunno, I'm sure it turned alot of people off to even trying the second episode. (theyre retarded anyways, always give an anime at least 5 before you decide you dont like it) I havn't, nor intend to, watched TTGL so I didn't get the reference, but I'm going to guess it was the bit there at the end when the art looked like someone spilled water all over the drawing board. Why the shit do people even watch that? Anyways to those of you thatre saying "omg i dont want it to ber serious it needs to stay this way" NO. I get what you're saying, and yes, I would probably rather watch a parody of this genre than the genre itself, but I'd rather watch a GOOD parody. If they kept up this bland humor the whole series it'd be a pain to watch. Therefore I'd rather see them go serious with it instead and make at least a half decent series. and just FYI, I gave this episode a 9, altho if its the same stuff again next episode, it'd quickly drop to a 6 or 7. Anyways, we shall see.

hahaha the whole time i was trying to guess if this show was for real or not. haha that was so funny. the tentacle scene was just priceless. and hwere he said that hes gonna marry the team mate instead of the princess, haha

too bad it was a dream, otherwise it would have been too funny.

Reminded me a lot of Kanokon. Stupid and random comedy.

It was not bad, either.

I didn't laugh, but I was amused.

It's nothing spectacular, but it's at least too interesting to drop, yet.

God the series better not have retarded comedy such as this.


What a waste of an episode. It was all a retarded dream. I knew i shouldn't have added this to my list. Like Wasabi said, retarded comedy.


I'm still bashing my head against the table as I type this. OK, there where parts that where funny, but I had no plans of watching a comedy today lol. I really hope the rest of the series isn't like this.

Well...not my kind of humour...i didn't laugh trough the whole episode, but thats just me. Maby it gets better...

Oh and btw if you're gonna watch anime online watch it on veoh.com, it's good quality and you don't have to watch in parts. You can even watch anime movies there (or episodes larger then 30 min) if you download veoh tv. For free.

This was absolutely hilarious. I loved the parody aspect and couldn't stop laughing at times. (I definitely prefer this over some typical, generic sword and sorcery fantasy.) Still, I don't think that an entire show based on a parody like this episode's woul've been very good so it's probably a good thing that the rest of the anime's taking another direction. We'll see.

(Also, I'm getting sick and tired of people saying that you should watch this show on veoh. For once we get to watch an anime legally via youtube etc. and there are stll people who don't get it... I love Gonzo's approach.)

I just started this series without knowing the first episode was a parody. Damn hilarous, best first episode ever. :D

having not read the thing about gonzo distribution i watched a HD fansub, and can't understand how people can be content with youtube quality vs. 720p x.x

Well, I guess the youtube one is better due to its higher FPS performance. I don't like how HD episodes seem to have below 10 FPS. D:

Ok so I watched the first episode and laughed a lot but that was becuase I couldn't believe how retarded it was. I don't think I will continue with this series. Unless there is someone who can convince me otherwise.

It was retarded in order to make the viewer laugh, since you laughed I'd say the anime succeded, right? Also it was only the first episode that was a parody, everything later on seems to be more serious and thus less ridiculous.

That was rather amusing. The tentacle rape scene and sad death of party member, " by the way - as soon as the fight is over I plan on returning to my home town and getting married~" were funny but the highlight has to be:

"If you want to fight me, you'll have to defeat me first!"

It wasn't amazingly witty, but I thought this was a competent parody of shounen so far- it made me laugh a couple of times anyway. Fingers crossed for the next episodes.

I ROFLed so hard when he punched Neeba and left him there.. I mean.. wow. that was the most retarded thing to do... To knock out a teammate and let him die instead of letting him FIGHT to delay the monsters then die..

LOLed at the fact that all the characters died after they wanted to get married! XD

Still.. in a anime with 12 episodes, having a "filler" episode like this isn't a good idea...

Loool it was a dream.

Loved these parts:
-Tentacles part
-Jil punching Neeba leaving him behind
-Breaking his promise with the princess.
-Everyone's talking about marriage.
-TTGL parody


Decent episode, I must say. :D

I was totally thrown off by this episode since I thought it'd be some serious-like anime. Still, I found it quite funny. Too bad it seems like it won't quite end like his awesome dream.

Wow that was meh.
Some bits were funny and some bits really weren't. It mainly went over a lot of the clichés of fantasy genres but some felt a bit too forced. I read on some reviews that the first ep isn't like the rest and that might be a good thing.
I'll give it a few more eps, heh it's only 12 might as well do the whole thing, but i hope it picks up or it can be my first dropped >.>

I lolled about the ".. is dead" part, it was just too random & the "I'm gonna get married" and the "I'm your father" part XD

Hope episode 2 is also interesting but I think te anime is really worth watching :)

Oh it was a dream ? XD i was like WTH is going on there. but it was good parody at sterotypical RPG story line haha .

Happy said:
OMG LAWL HILARIOUS!

Jil punched out Neeba and abandoned him! ROFL
They all wanted to get married! ROFL
Roper appeared! ROFL
They playing an MMORPG! ROFL

Seriously though, I laughed a lot. Good stuff

What I'm confused about is if they are playing an MMORPG or the fantasy world is actually real.

8/10 for first episode

Yeah I would not say it better.
