Wow what a train wreck of an episode.

This was expected, not worth going into detail.Bee train will be Bee train

They couldn't even get some decent animation talent on this.It's horrible.I wonder why Samura agreed to this, bee train of all studios.

Well, I'm still waiting for the subs to come out. When you said Bee Train, that got my attention because they did Metabots and .hack// and stuff so i checked out the raw with little understanding of what happened and just looked at the pictures. Well, It's not that bad...

I could make a list of things they did wrong, but I'll spare you. I also want to note I have nothing against Bee Train. I liked two shows they did, at least.

I watched the raw, but I understood at least half of what they were saying with my knowledge of moonspeak and the first volume of the manga in front of me as a reference... now, if you'll excuse my language: they not only fucked the series, but they fucked it in the asshole with barely any consent, then wagged their dick around and pissed in the same hole they came in.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I'm a .hack and as you may or may not know, they've done all the anime adaptations of the franchise.

They've gone from making classics(//sign, and it's spin offs) to average entries(//legend of twilight, //Liminality) and the downright awful(//roots) it's not like I'm set out against anything bee train, I'm just very familiar with the studio and know what they are capable of.

They were certainly the very last studio I had in mind when it came to a BoTI adaptation.Indeed they butchered it very badly, this probably won't be as bad to people that have yet to read the original classic, but that's about it.

that aside..



pretty much.

Wait, I found an even better way to sum up my opinion:

Anyone know if any subbers picked up the series yet? I can't find anything. :(

One word: GORE GALORE! Other than that heavy ecchi stuff for sure but good action and story. Good art too!

We all have a saying: patience rewards. try this too: h**p://fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_FALL_2008

While the animation is less disappointing then I was expecting for Bee Train, Manji is more than a huge mess. They completely changed his personality and that's one thing I loved the most about him. Since when is Manji all cool and relaxed, cold even? No way. He's an arrogant smart ass, always smirking at everything, not to mention incredibly funny. I don't see this whatsoever in the anime so far and THAT is very disappointing (the priest scene was totally butchered and the humor was taken out). I just can't believe Manji joined the drama queen emo samurai bandwagon, that's so ridiculously not him.
Not to mention, what's with the empty eye socket? Ew, Manji still has his bad eye ¬_¬ They did change a few scenes around from the manga too. Do I even need to mention how not fitting the seiyuu voicing him is? But well I guess it's not like I was actually expecting it to be good so.........And what exactly are they planning to accomplish in 13 episodes? That's a laugh.

Whaaat? They mess up from the first chapter onwards!? Is this going to be another Planetes for me then? >_<

13 episodes!?

Whaaat?

*sighs*

This is what I get for letting people around here make me give this anime a chance.

Will still have to watch it myself though, but the comments in this thread have been...sad. :(

You think this is gore galore? you haven't read the manga have you? This is *nothing* in terms of gore(everything else too!)

Not the greatest start, but again what are 13 episodes going to do? What's with Hyakurin and Kagimura appearing in the first episode? Just follow the manga.

I think you mean http://fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_SUMMER_2008 , and from that, Live-eviL is planning to do it apparently.


Better than I could've said it. I was myself noticing his unfitting seiyuu and how he looked a bit younger than he should have. (I mean, Seki Tomokazu did pretty well in his other roles, but he can't do a rough, older guy like Manji well.)

If nothing, the show may attract a couple people to pick up the manga...I hope. :/

can I post about subs?

This groups translation needs work. Editing... is there any? Typesetting is as if tho they just went with random styles, whatever is visible works, eh? Karaoke translation, same deal as the dialogue... needs alot of work. Karaoke Effects... really basic, would've been fine with them had the styling not been so horrid. Fansubber credits... if you're gonna bother putting your name on a video, please at least make them blend in :( And why release "h"d upscales of this series when you don't bother to properly filter the raw and make an at least decent encode :/

Supposedly they have a good editorial staff (iriseyes from BSS) but I'm feeling that this script is illegible...

Sorry, just being honest. But I would rather wait for a slow group... and I mean a.f.k./dead group slow... to sub this series rather then watching AEN-Kesenai's release.

--

Sorry, I would comment on the anime episode... but I've not yet been able to watch it considering AEN-Kasenai's release was so horrid. And sadly, I'm not exaggerating either...

Well, the subs are released. I'm uploading to veoh as we speak, but today, my veoh seems to be like 40x slower than usual. a upload usually takes like a min at most with VeohTV, but now, it's taking an hour or two. I'll have a subbed version up and running in about 20 mins.

Wow this was disappointing. Where was all the bloody killing scenes? They showed like 2 and I don't even think you could consider them that bloody.

The show, however, was not as shitty as I was expecting. It's actually watchable which is good. I just hope they don't over do it with original content thats not in the manga.

I was okay with it. It certainly wasn't as good as the manga, but I was prepared for that, and with that in mind I rather enjoyed it.

Makie's fighting scene on the OP was the best part of it.

Well I guess we can just bitch slap all those people who were telling us not to make early judgments about the show.

THANKS GUYS.

Yeah, that about sums it up
