Do YOU really expect me to care enough about generic derivative fantasy adaptations to compile an exact list of similarities and differences between them? As for the last part: by the definition of the expression, there shouldn't be one as it defeats the point of expressing one's thoughts via idea of vast unaccountable number of something. |

Ejc said: I'm surprised "Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei" still doesn't have an adaptation... I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing is happening ! Are they so much against printing money? |
 |
| Seems quite generic but will watch. |
Fai said: Okay, I have to ask did they intentionally chose the most derivative things to adapt. Its been 4 announcements today and all of them can be summed up in: "indecisive wimpy male lead in generic fantasy world pairs up with abusive over-sexualized female lead" There are thousands of VNs and LNs more worthy of adaptation than stuff like this. Lol, I can never understand the concept of deciding what an anime(s) will be like, before you even watch it. Sure the synopsis gives a few hints but theres always more to an anime/LN/VN than that. Also, I wont bother taking your last line seriously, since it doesnt look like you've even read any of the LNs to know whether they are actually good or not. Anyways, it looks pretty good to me, and even though i hvnt read the LN, I hope it does it justice and they make a good adaptation. Also, lol, "pure maidens" , does that mean the MCs will never get full romantic developments? |

Going by how the introduction is presented and how trailers are presented is enough to not to waste one's time on stuff that one is NOT interested in. Either show grabs attention or not, the first episode and the lead up to it is CRUCIAL. And those first bits are nothing interesting to a person why should the ones after that be any better to? The "oh it gets better" argument is really tired. Why should I watch 12 episodes or so of nothing good happening just because supposedly something good happens? There's nothing to like in the concept, the first impressions are incredibly generic. I will most likely check out the future trailers(because again I tend to give it some chance at being a victim of poor marketing, like quite a few things I enjoyed were), but so far there's nothing interesting in this to generate even BASIC interest. Also, I wont bother taking your last line seriously, since it doesnt look like you've even read any of the LNs to know whether they are actually good or not. congrats on using a logical fallacy within the first half of the post. I have read a fair share of lns, even though I am more of a good quality visual novel person now, since most of LNs I see released, published or translated are mostly unappealing nowadays. Frankly the only one that I am waiting for is fate/Apocrypha. Everything else I have heard of in last year or so is just ughhhh. |

EverKoptimistic said: I'm worry about the backlash if she get voiced by KuguRie.I think the synopsis is a bit deceiving. It makes the MC look like a pansy, but in all reality, he's anything but that. I am a bit worried that Claire could scare off some viewers pretty early on with her Louise-like tsundereness, but she doesn't act like that the whole time. I'm giddy that they're adapting the LNs, but at the same time, I'll be a little wary until more details come out regarding what studio is picking it up and who is being cast. |

Frankly the only one that I am waiting for is fate/Apocrypha. Everything else I have heard of in last year or so is just ughhhh. Looks like you didnt understand what I meant I guess. My bad, I'll try to explain it abit more clearly this time. Sure, synopsis/genres/trailers are usually enough to know if an anime might be something you will like or not, BUT its DEFINITELY not enough to judge an anime......basically I'm directing this at "indecisive wimpy male lead in generic fantasy world pairs up with abusive over-sexualized female lead" Ppl are free to decide if they might not like an anime or not from its synopsis,etc......and thats their choice but acting like you actually know what the anime is about and stuff......thats something I cannot understand. How do u know that the MC is going to be indecisive and wimpy?? How do u know the female will beover-sexualised?? Theres not enough from the synopsis to be able to judge the MCs (both male/females) like that. Yes, I also agree that the first episode is definitely important......but there are a ton of animes that start slow, but then can get the viewer really interested. I've seen alot of ppl post/write reviews while saying that they didnt think they would like this or that anime, but after watching a few episodes( yes a few not just one), they really liked the anime. So yah, even if u didnt like the first episode, and didnt bother to go even a lil bit further to completely decide whether u will like it or not, that doesnt mean that the following episodes will be the same or be exactly how YOU think it is. Why should you watch 12 episodes of nothing good happening? I think the question should be - Why do u think that there will be 12 episodes of nothing good happening? If you think that u might not like the anime, then fine, you dont even have to watch it, let alone go through 12 episodes. BUT you should atleast try to avoid defining the anime as what you THINK it will be like when all you have is just the synopsis. For your 4th para, hmmmm, it might be my fault for taking your summation for all the 4-5 anime announcements as something definitive, but it looked that way to me when I first read it, so....yah.....thats probably why I couldnt understand why you had already decided what kind of anime it would be like, before even more information was released, because like you just said "first impressions". But first impressions arent always right and even if its generic, that doesnt mean the anime will be exactly like how you think it will. Then again, thats just me I guess, I dont really care about generic this or that or w.e, even if the setting is similar or the synopsis is similar to alot of other animes, I watch an anime for what it is, not what I want it to be or think it will be. And finally, for your last para......my bad again....it seems like you didnt understand. I was talking about these specific LNs for the animes that were just announced. When you talked about what these shows would be like, and that there are "thousands" of other LNs more worthy of an adaption, well, from what u just said.....I'm guessing you hvnt read them at all. So, yah, when I said I wont take it seriously......I'm sorry if I seemed rude or w.e.....but I meant it as like, I only listen to what a person thinks of an anime/LN when they've actually read/watched it or atleast know enough about the anime/LN to be able to properly judge what it is/will be like...................so its just me and not you. You dont have to take my last line seriously. P.S, its kind late here and I'm about to goto sleep, so forgive my laziness to seperate each of your paras for each of my replies. |

Fai said: Says one who read one synopsis and then decided all 5 LNs must have the same "wimpy male" with "abusive female" as "ecchi harem", which is perhaps the most hilarious of all. This kind of shallowness displayed with the knee-jerk reaction proclaiming that all 5 are "wimpy males" with "abusive female" as "ecchi harem" just because he read one synopsis is plain stupidity. Those who think they like serious and deep stuff can usually turn out to be the actual shallow, unthinking and narrow-minded one. The idea that you HAVE to watch anything to decide on if its worth watching is hilarious. Going by how the introduction is presented and how trailers are presented is enough to not to waste one's time on stuff that one is NOT interested in. |

Shangetsu said: It has been discussed from time to time among anime fans in Japan. I have not read the LN but one common guess is that the way Rettousei portrays neighboring countries like Korea is not favorable and it is currently a sensitive time to adapt something like this where relationship of Japan and Korea/China is getting tense. I don't know enough to confirm how true this guess is but it pops up so often (and Rettousei is such a glaring member among the most popular LNs which has not yet got any anime adaptation) that I cannot help but wonder if this might be one explanation.Now maybe we can return to important topic such as... why is this getting an adaptation while Mahouka koukou no rettousei isn't :/. |

No actually what you said make sense. Pretty much every foreign country introduced so far in Mahouka are antagonized. This is especially true for country near Japan. I do not think that's all that there is to it but it would make sense if it did affect something to some extent. |

Shangetsu said: Yeah, antagonizing America may be harmless but portraying Korea as an invading country at the current sensitive time carries quite some risk.Pretty much every foreign country introduced so far in Mahouka are antagonized. This is especially true for country near Japan. |

This is especially true for country near Japan. Indeed, sigh. Still it isn't like Japan is portrayed as the holy country while the rest of the world are the bad guys. Mahouka make it clear that nobody is really good or evil and that it just so happens that the story is told from Japan's side. Korea is too uptight about stuff like that. |
