LOL SunyiNyufi, he is not trying to take your comment into account. He is just saying this illogical of this anime is perfectly fine for him but not for us. The bad directing of this anime made the show looks so illogical but he is trying to protect it and saying "ANIME" is illogical. I guess we are not good as him.

I'm not saying that he should be super awesome and do it in a blink (although that surely would make for an intersting twist). My problem is, that he does things without thinking at all. Yes, I know he is a typical shounen lead, and most of the shounen leads are dumb, so even the audience with lower IQ can comprehend his feelings. Yet, that doesn't make this show logical at all.

Am I wrong, or are you kinda admitting that it was pretty illogical reaction from them, that can only happen in anime?

I'm not saying the writing is great - because it's not - I'm just saying there is logic to it. It seems the difference of our opinions comes from that fact that I use typical shonen anime as a baseline for comparison. I thought that's what we were all using here, but I guess I'm wrong. For Kakeru to do those things is acceptable to me because those are established, formulaic scenes we've all seen a thousand times before. It may not be original or good, but it follows the logic of shonen anime. The problems you seem to have are not with this show in particular, but with the genre - which is a valid criticism I agree with.

I'm just saying that you can't fault the show's logic when all it is doing is adhering to established shonen writing. If you want to complain about the show for lack of originality in writing, hell I'm right there with you.

Honestly, if you take typical shounen as a base, you have my pity. Really. That's just the worst thing you can ever do. And well, sorry for judging a story for itself, without comparing it to utter crap.

It may not be original or good, but it follows the logic of shonen anime.

I don't really think, that the lack of logic can be called logic itself doh.

I'm just saying that you can't fault the show's logic when all it is doing is adhering to established shonen writing.

Yes I can, cos belonging to a genre doesn't mean, you necessarly need to adapt all of the faults of that genre, does it? And just to tell you, I watched a lot of things already, even shounen, and there was a fair number I enjoyed. Hell I even enjoyed ChaosHead (although the ending sucked), and the characters in that anime head a much more realistic and logical to their problems most of the time.

Oh yeah, and besides having all faults of shounen anime ever, useless fanservice (which makes the show a bit illogical to begin with), it even has poor writing, bad directing and low quality.

So why are you watching this if it's so goddamn awful?

I tried to meet you halfway here, but apparently I'm an idiot. Fuck it, I don't care anymore. You won an argument on the internet, congratulations.

If you had really read that awefully long one sentence post (what you actually used to start this argument): I watch it cos the only thing I'm curious about is why they use Hungarian language in the anime, cos I was told it has some relation to it, and not just something random, so as a Hungarian I'm interested in it. And mostly in how much they will screw up with the titles like they did last time.

You won an argument on the internet, congratulations.

Well it wasn't me, who started it. I would have been satisfied just saying that it's crap once.

I didn't know "akuma" can be written this way.

How do you type this kanji character in your keyboard?

Perhaps he did not know how to write 魔, chose to write the radical 广 and put a マ below to show how it is read. or he was too lazy to make the 21 strokes. Either way this kanji does not belong to the standart list of kanji, i think.

Still not really sold on this show yet. It's just exciting and interesting enough to keep me from dropping it, but not enough to make me really enjoy it all that much. I suspect that that's how the rest of the series will play out.

Okay, so those 5 swords are pretty cool. As is Kusakabe. Now, if only she doesn't fall in love with Kakeru, she might actually turn out to be a decent female anime character (so rare in these types of shows!).

Indeed, we could always hope, but our prayers won't be answered, since she will most likely either fail in love or she'll die. Thinking about it, both are quite likely actually : p

I agree, I think there will be a moment where she will sacrifice herself to save Yuka because she wants the person Kakeru loves to live on (because Kusakabe loves Kakeru too, or whatever). I'm predicting she'll fall for him in one of these scenarios:

- she is impressed with his determination to learn how to fight
- she is impressed with his battle skills once he awakens
- she is impressed with the lengths he will go to to protect Yuka (and the other characters, inevitably; I fully expect stupid heroics from Kakeru just before his power awakens so everyone can go "ooh, how noble!")

But then again I could be completely wrong and she doesn't fall for him. Let's hope so. Although I feel like she'll sacrifice herself/die at some point, anyway. In these types of shows if the character isn't going to fall in love with the protagonist then she's usually just cannon fodder/a human shield for another character who WILL fall for the protagonist.

(Can you tell I'm cynical?)

Oh right, that guy too, yeah, but he's way less annoying than Yuka, 'cause he's not present every god damn second of this show.. (Okay, Yuka isn't either, but a damn lot more than the retard)

Ep3 was a bit... lame. I didn't like the first half that much... sword training, important, yes, but not that interesting. And what was that girl scene outside the school about? o.O "Oh, your breasts are bigger than I thought!" - WTF?!
But the 2nd half was quiet good. Fight scene, wohoo! I like the sword collection :D

How disappointing.
This episode was really, really, REALLY boring :s i dunno how to explain it but i feel like watching another anime first now.. ._. kukuri appeared. YES! BUT.. her appearance was also boring xD i mean she should have had a killer-face at the ending or something like that .. but the expression was just way too friendly.. considering she committed suicide before <.< i guess she's one of the "good" characters. would have been more interesting if she'd be the bad-ass girl ! 8D

WoW, I guess satisfying people is little impossible!

Pretty enjoyable episode for me ^^

Like always liked the suspense and mystery roaming about the anime :3
The pacing is quite good for me too.

5/5 ep

Going to watch next episode for more excitement~ (Yeah, I'm one of those who like this anime!)

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Great episode, nice pace, and good battles so far. Seems like the Black knights were once humans though and are connected to each of the crystal towers. Curious as to who saved Kakeru and Yuka though (someone who looks like Kakeru's sister??) since it couldn't be Yukiko (she was helping Misuzu). Eager to find out who Lisette is though (girl trapped in tower), when Kakeru unlocks his power (and what it is), and what happens next though.

Oh my, I wonder who helped that girl with five legendary blades to beat one of the Black Knights. Also, who helped Kakeru and Yuka? Was it his sister? I thought she died already, I need some explanations.

Also in the ending, was that Kakeru? If so, then I can't wait for Kakeru to kick some asses, lol. He looked pretty bad ass right there. Also, now we know that those pink crytal towers symbolizes the Black Knights. If one die, one tower disappears.

The fight was pretty good, but there needs to be plot development. We still don't why they are fighting.

Indeed, Kakeru shouldn't be luring the guy away, instead, he should let Yuka be the bait, that way, maybe he would survive, and at the same time get rid of Yuka : D


That would be my most favorite scene from this anime <3 !

Agreed!

I actually laughed when Yuka and Kakeru were hiding behind a car, and while you would expect someone who is on the run from a demonish spirit who wants to kill you to keep quiet when in hiding, Yuka squeaked "Kakeru-kun!"

Kakeru's late sister is a fragment of the Red World. But why and how did she end up there? The plot isn't developing much so I guess I shouldn't anticipate a satisfactory explanation anytime soon.
