this anime takes itself too seriously, i can only watch it as a comedy with japanese comments scrolling along the video.

Ok it's official this anime really reminds me of Fate/Stay Night. Although the way they have transitioned through the story so far feels a little too rushed to me.

A number of things come to me when I think of fate/stay night. Rushed isn't one of them. Please don't make such a untrue comparison.

I will admit that this pales compared to the light novel. At least the novel had me interested up until the last chapter of the first novel which ended in such a stereotypical fashion that it stopped me reading any further.It's not as if the novel was a masterpiece or anything(In fact I would class it as decent) but the anime adaptation is abysmal.

well, it's nice to know that you think the anime is shit, though right now, I don't have any negative thoughts towards the anime anymore (ok, I'm lying a little, but bear with me) ^_^

though, with regards to the novel, allow me to voice out my humble comments (geez, I just read a bunch of japanese correspondence, so I'm in kind of super polite mode now ^_^)

by the last chapter do you mean the afterword, which the author tells you what volume 1 is for? perhaps, you might want to read that before making a judgement in case you haven't.

it's not a masterpiece.... hmm, if I may ask, what LNs are you comparing against, and with regards to which aspects (characterization, story, creativity, emotion, romance, etc.)? if I may ask, how many LNs have you read? just asking, no offense meant. I actually read a good many LNs. and IMHO, if we're talking about fantasies, there are not that many good fantasies around. in terms of EPIC fantasies, really very FEW, I'd say. Epic really means epic, and not narrow fantasies like SAO or Rental Magica (even though RM spans a wide range of concepts but still narrow if we consider scale and by the way I really love RM, one of the best and most underrated LNs of all times, but that's another story), just for your information ^_^

Oh btw, the first 4 volumes, rather than the 1st volume, makes up the prologue, well, though some will disagree with me and say that the first 6 volumes make up the prologue LOL (which means only 2 volumes of real story to date double LOL). either way, that's short considering that the author had written a prologue of 11 volumes of Denyuuden (22 to be exact considering backstories and side stories; I won't count Shinyuuden since it's written after Daiden despite its earlier time setting) to set the stage for Daiden. But like I said earlier, Kagami is God in EPIC fantasies. Epic here refers to 'Large Scale'. Which means its scale and concepts are so large and humongous that your mind would be mind-f*cked (not in the mystery or suspense manner but in how mindblowingly large things are) many times over. Though it has yet to reach the Denyuuden level because of the relatively less volumes. The fact that it takes multiple volumes to set up the beginning of the story just shows how much true Epic potential it has. It's better to split the prologue into multiple volumes than have thousand-page light novels like "Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon" (another infamously epic work), won't you agree? Of course the series has its own weakness, but story and characterization would not be those. :)

thanks for reading my long rant =)

What the hell was that at the end? Did Himea totally change or something? Lol
Good to see Taito has got some balls and is willing to die for Himea. <3
The plot thickens.. Haruka ain't a normal girl it seems. This is getting very interesting to me.
