| if this is meant to be a comedy it sounds hilarious. otherwise.................. |
| Sounds pretty generic to be honest but I like the idea of a multimedia project. |
| AGAIN with the school campus ? Seriously, can't they make any anime without school in it ? |
| They want to make a Horizon clone or what?.. |
| I might consider it. |
 |
| inb4 I react negatively to this. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| looks kind of interesting |
 |
| If Brains Base did it I'd be in, but otherwise probably not. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Uhh...It looks...okay... |
| i would have been more impressed if it was mere normal people rather than "historical" ones. it just sounds so bland and overused. |
| doesn't look half bad |
| I agree with the slight backlash. As cool as this does sound, the fact that it includes "school" in the description evokes traumatic memories of all those who browse this forum. |

jmal said: seishi-sama said: They want to make a Horizon clone or what?.. ? But this synopsis sounds nothing like Horizon's plot. It sounds more than similar if you ask me. A specially established school campus - check Specific super powers - check Descendants of historical heroes vs recreating history - check The latter is probably the most important since in both cases, history directly affects the present. |
jmal said: seishi-sama said: A specially established school campus - check Like so, so, so many other shows. Specific super powers - check Like so, so, so, so, so many other shows. Descendants of historical heroes vs recreating history - check Two things that are distinctly different. Going by the above, Milky Holmes would be a Horizon ripoff too. I'd love to see someone make that argument. Obviously, no one can make an argument as elaborate and difficult to argue with as you're making here, so you'll probably have to give it a shot yourself. |
| not bad )) |
