Well, first day12 hours payoff is edging out at the top 400 and top 1000 in popularity, lets see where this will be at next week. Not sure if anyone remembers where attack on titan and sword art were in their first day of airing but I remember Attack on Titan hit top 15 (placed 12 or so I believe) within the first week, did it not? Sword Art placed somewhere in the top 100 but that was shortlived obviously. Kafka-san said: What the fuck does that mean?This show makes SAO look like LotGH. |

Fairy Tail 2014 is the new SAO/AoT |

AOT was #9 after first week iirc. Glowing 10s across the board in reviews. This doesn't even come close to that :) Well, no matter how I feel about AoT in general, that 1st episode was something beyond logic and reason, it was flawless, from soundtrack to actual animations. If I had to rate AoT based on that episode alone I would probably rate it 10 as well. I never give rating before at least 5 episodes though :) |

SetsukoHara said: Fairy Tail 2014 is the new SAO/AoT Ugh I don't hate Fairy Tail, but it's definitely not my demographic. Wayyyyy too juvenile. I don't consider myself a very mature person either, but even I find Fairy Tail to be annoyingly childish. The fact that some reviewers gave it a better score than Mahouka's first episode makes me want to punch a wall. Not that first episode reviews mean much for the show, but good reviews do attract viewers. And yea, AoT's first episode was amazing. I think we were all stunned by it, it deserved it's place in the rankings. Hopefully Mahouka makes its way up there over time. SAO's first episode was amazing as well. Hell, the whole Aincrad arc was amazing, one of the best things I've ever seen. Too bad the author decided to turn around and take a dump on his work in ALO though. |

I guess It's hyped??? I'm only watching it to see what the overly obsessed fanboys think is so great about this series. And I'll be checking out Mekaku City Actors a bit to see what overly obsessed fangirls think is so great about that series. In all seriousness though, I don't know why people let hype effect them so much, it's just playing right into the hands of people that mainly just want your money and time and will say anything to get it. Just watch what you like and who gives a fuck what other people think in the long run. Honestly as much as both this and Mekaku are hyped to shit like LITERALLY every Aniplex show that airs on Saturday in this block (there's a rather obvious reason both of these shows are back to back) neither is even close to being my most anticipated show of the season. They both seem like they could be interesting and at least worth watching, but they also seem kind of just like hyped up pandering at the same time. Well, As a LN reader, I am sure looking forward to the anime, but not like "this's gonna be the best anime ever!!" or some sort. Part of the reasons for the "hype" (or at least for me) is that it took so damn long for the anime adaptation to come out. After freakin' 12 volumes (TWELVE!! I tell ya!!!), Mahouka finally got the anime. Maybe that's not really long, but other shows got theirs more quickly. Date a Live got the announcement when it reached....wait, 4 vols????? Other recent anime such as Strike the Blood, Log Horizon also haven't passed the 10th vol yet. Why this is popular? There are many things to talk about but in summary, I guess one could say it's quite refreshing, especially in the age of fanservice and good-for-nothing protagonists. The MC - Tatsuya, whether he is OP or not, carries a trait that I really do appreciate: he tolerates no bullshit and cares less about bullshit matters. Remember when you see John McClane (Die Hard) kicks the bad guys ass and the catchphrase "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!", I get the same feeling when I read about Tatsuya I read a bit of the manga. It kind of appeals to my interests pretty well on a number of levels and seems like one of those rare light novel series you get that actually attempts to go somewhere with it's premise and be expansive as opposed to just be strictly rom-com harem fare (Index, Accel World, Horizon and the like) possibly cause they're much harder to do and require more money and it looks good enough. My goal is kind of just to enjoy it as a guilty pleasure and then if it develops into something more consider it a nice bonus. bastek66 said: IS THIS MAL OR /a/? Seems like retardness is spreading.

Oh my mistake that "cad" scene comes later but the execution of the fight scene is pretty important.......but i don't think they will mess it up.

It looked well done, but it's not like they have a lot to work with for that fight hah. There won't be good action until the end of Vol 1, and no truly amazing action until 9 Schools. But we all know the true treat, the erection-inducing awesomeness that is the Yokohama Disturbance. |

It's hyped bc of the LN writing quality. |

You literally quoted me as saying that I don't consider myself mature, while condescendingly calling me Mr. Mature Watcher. I hope you realize that. The only anime I criticized as immature was Fairy Tail, and honestly how can you even refute that. Have you watched it? If something meaningful ever happens in that show I'll eat my damn hat. I still keep up with the manga just to keep my tally of "fake MC deaths" rolling. I added a whole lot more recently. At least in other popular shonens, people actually train and lasting consequences are felt. Fairy Tail is just that. A Fairy Tail. An utterly juvenile excuse to show cool special effects and fan service. I really can't accept that AoT and Fairy Tail are meant to be watched by the same audience whatsoever. I could happily show a 5 year old Fairy Tail. Hell, he'd probably understand what little plot there is just as well as I do. AoT isn't an adult anime or anything, but it definitely has some mature concepts as opposed to the joke of the shonen world Fairy Tail. |

You think Mahouka's LNs have poor writing? I have read both Mahouka and SAO (Well, most of SAO. I quit after GGO, It just couldn't hold my interest) The quality is leagues apart, Mahouka far surpasses SAO's story and character development. The only thing SAO does better is get into the story faster. Mahouka somehow manages to have 10+ characters with more depth than just Kirito. (A bland MC if there ever was one) |

While people certainly do like to criticize anything with hype, there are actually valid reasons to be afraid of incest or harem unless a person is familiar with LN or read a post from sodapop. Now, I do not care about either of those, heck, my favorite VN features both, g-senjou no maou. Well, both are optional there and both are only semi-visible, but present. Let's look objectively, say, my perspective, non LN reader and neutral, without hearing ANYTHING about the show previously: - It was a mediocre opening episode with really annoying MCs sister, possible sister-brother relationship (look at room scene where she leans on him), possible harem (including sister, MC talked to 4 girls, all basically running to him) and a preview which looked like something that would put Uchiha Madara powers to shame. MC seemed fine, but so did the one in Chrome Shelled Regios, a show that had extremelly similar first episode in terms of MC, school and harem. This is what first episode looked like to me, so yes, I was not impressed. Now, I didn't even know about LN before watching, I just watch anime, not interested what they are based on. Some of my fears have been cast away by non-spoiler message from one of guys here. If it wasn't for that message I'd probably keep many ot previously mentioned first episode shortcomings on mind going further. So, while the LN may be great, I am giving it FSN treatment (2nd favorite VN), where it has to prove it is good as anime, LN is of no interest to me. |

Everybody is a fanboy of some franchise so 2 can play that trolling game. nina4life said: Dragon_Slayer_X said: SodaPop65 said: Kefkiroth said: Hints of incest will probably scare a lot of people away.

Dude i have nothing against people like you, your impressions are you own. We know the things may turn you off, so time and again we have been saying there is no incest, it's mostly teasing and played for joke.............they have a very strong bond and the reason will be explained later. Also the first arc can appear boring for some so we are asking to give it some time. Of course this is a request, not absolute. The problems is trolls and random haters are going on and on about how bad this is, poor writing, incest and what not. Some are smart enough to judge it on their own but some get influenced by those. That's the problem i am having here. |

mg021 said: it already is a hyped anime. there's plenty of anticipation for this series, and a lot of high expectations. As long as madhouse doesn't screw it up though, like they did mahou sensou, this will be a great watch. as for whether it'll be the next SAO/AoT? Who knows... but I expect there will be a very polarized community like SAO/AoT had. Oh my god, Mahou Sensou was an absolute train wreck. I don't think this one could possibly go down that same path (or at least, that's what I'm hoping won't happen). |

And while what you say might be somewhat right about trolls, keep in mind some people don't even comment on discussion boards. I gave you my first impression of a show, completely neutral, since before watching it I knew nothing of the show. If I did not comment and if I did not read replies or even come here in the first place I would most certainly consider it incest/harem anime. I'd keep watching because I do not mind those, but if I did, it would be instantly dropped. Also, a hype or good VN/LN do not mean adaptation is gonna be any good. Examples: SAO and FSN come to mind. Both have godlike base material, especially FSN, since it is basically 50h of text explaining every single thing. And look at adaptation. That is why if something is mediocre (first episode of MK here), I will say so until proven otherwise. I will gladly say I love this anime, as soon as it does something worthy of praise :) If I were to rate first episode I would give it 6, without preview part an 8. |

This is not a high-school/harem/romcom/incest show.......the plot gets very interesting as it goes on. |

My argument was that Fairy Tail is less mature than SNK and SAO. Well, that Fairy Tail is generally immature in general due to the lack of anything ever happening. It might as well be an episodic show that lasts 10 hours per episode. Once the episode's over, everything resets to happy funtime and everything's fine. |

Not at all, I just think that if something can make me feel, if it can affect me emotionally, then I respect it and consider it mature. Maybe the whole series wasn't mature, but SOMETHING connected with me enough to make me really care. It's like Code Geass. An overall immature, ridiculous anime. (That I love). But man, the end. THE END. ALL THE FEELS IN THE WORLD AND THEN SOME. One Piece has feels all the damn time. My first time through the series I was flabbergasted about how emotional it made me. I won't even get into 100% mature animes, since they're just obvious. Fairy Tail.... I think I was saddened at an event that happened early on, but after retconning like 5 "deaths" I realized that nothing ever serious happens in FT, and ever since then, nothing has surprised me or made me feel anything in that show. So to me, it's garbage. |

I don't think so. It may have an audience, but it's nowhere near as large as the other two and while there will definitely be debates it won't get as bad as it did when SAO/AOT did. The LN itself isn't exactly(my opinion) A-grade material either(still enjoyable), so I don't expect the anime nor the hype to be that huge. It will probably start out with a lot of attention, but die down as time goes on. |

No, the pilot episode is too weak. SAO and AOT have amazing pilot episode, so good that it brought in a bunch of new anime fan. Rettousei's episode one will not have such an effect. If we're to compare the 3 show, Rettousei will look like some 2nd rated trash. (Harsh, I know, but it's the truth) If I am to compare, I'd say this show is more like Chrome Shelled Regios, except even Chrome Shelled Regios have a much better pilot episode. (In term of getting people hungry for more.) That alone is big enough to impact it's overall influence on anime fan in general. It's the "OMG THIS IS AWESOME" factor it doesn't have, I mean ffs, if you show a new anime fan episode one of Guilty Crown, I assure you he/she will scream for more. my humble opinion. |

Which I also stated in one of the other topic of this forum. That good show don't need fanboys to defend it. AirStyles said: For the fans that are trying to defend this show because of fears of the anime losing potential viewers.... Let me tell you a story. On MAL 2011, there's an anime, that not many people follow. after 10 or so episode, the people following the show was so few that a toddler can probably count them all with it's limited understanding to numbers. Then, the show got good, the word got out... More and more people watch it. That anime, is currently one of the highest rated anime of the site. That anime, is call Steins;Gate |

It's the "OMG THIS IS AWESOME" factor it doesn't have, I mean ffs, if you show someone episode one of Guilty Crown, I assure you most new anime fan will scream for more. my humble opinion. Steins;Gate is an exception however. It also had a weak pilot episode but later people started to hype it. Which I also stated in one of the other topic of this forum. That good show don't need fanboys to defend it. AirStyles said: For the fans that are trying to defend this show because of fears of the anime losing potential viewers.... Let me tell you a story. On MAL 2011, there's an anime, that not many people follow. after 10 or so episode, the people following the show was so few that a toddler can probably count them all with it's limited understanding to numbers. Then, the show got good, the word got out... More and more people watch it. That anime, is currently one of the highest rated anime of the site. That anime, is call Steins;Gate Ah, already mentioned. And come to think of it, neither Madoka was that hyped from the first episode. Majority watched it for studio Shaft but later it became hyped. Anyway, it's worse when you are presented with a superb pilot episode and then the show goes all downhill, you become far too disappointed. |

Truth to be told, I knew Madoka and Steins;Gate were gem the moment I saw their pilot episode. Those "great" shows, usually have some sort of aura around their pilot episode. It's like you can just feel the director is soooo passionate about the story, and is desperate to tell you the story, yet they can only show you as little as they can to avoid spoiling things.. Maybe it's the way the director presented it's pilot episode, maybe it's the camera angle use, maybe it's how well they set it up... I don't know. Then again, my instinct is not always right either. As I had great hopes for Red Data Girl because of it's pilot episode, I really thought that it'll turn into something amazing. |

In terms of SAO and AoT most audience were already drawn into the premise of the shows. Mahouka isn't nearly as interesting. If it wants to be in the same league (In terms of popularity) I'd say it has to pull off a catastrophic event which knocks back the whole world. I'm talking school days level. In terms of ratings and overall satisfaction, it ain't that hard to beat SAO... DawnJ said: More like IS, not much difference anyway. Bwahahaha MC's are already the complete opposites in personality. I'd say that makes all the difference in the world. |

The females who were introduced (aside from sister) had almost no focus unlike IS which dedicates entire episodes to them, hence why girls are the attraction of IS. Speaking of which have you read the light novel of Mahouka? I'd say you'd have to be pretty ballsy to bring anything down to IS level after its first episode. |

I'll never forget the first time I heard about IS. I had just started watching anime, I had just finished AoT and FMA:B, and heard about a mecha anime with a guy that goes to a girls school. At this point I had no idea that harem existed, or fanservice, or any of the crap that make IS what it is. I have never been so horrified/disappointed in my life. Mahouka is -nothing like that- |

What I see (and people will see) are a chuunibyou and overpowered MC with distorted personality and philosophy and all the shounen powers in the world. Whether or not the anime focus on fanservices, people will watch this anime for females and actions aka mindless entertainment. I'm not saying it's bad tho. |
