TonyTheme said: ..snipped... Yeah, I'm cutting the quotes because the comments are getting kind of long. As you're talking about "True" characterization I got a little confused. I feel like you're expecting a little much from the first couple of episodes. Understanding his personality and a little bit of why he acts the way he does is enough for now. Kyoukai No Kanata's MC wasn't explained until 3/4 through the series. All that's important for us to know right now about his motivation and drive is that he doesn't want to be seperated from Mai for some reason. Regarding his personality, he's not a depressing guy, but an intelligent hardworker with good social skills, and I think that's enough. I hope his home situation surprises me in a good way. TonyTheme said: Cliches show personality, it's just repetitive and predictable ones that usually are a sign of lack of skill and imagination. What about the four humors? The teenage mutant ninja turtle personalities that tend to show up in every fiction regarding a group of friends. It shows up so often and so many of the different characters are unique and memorable. The honorable one, the smart one, the joker, the hardass. I mean Code Lyoko and Teen Titans had an interesting cast and even they couldn't really escape the four humors. Even so the characters are all memorable even though they stick to these cliches. Last season we had like 2 fiery red heads and 1 fiery blond. The main girls from Rakudai, Asterisk, and Taimadou. Outside of the reason they had their first fights those 3 heroines, while having very similar base personalities focused on pride and doing things alone were very different. Rakudai's heroine could get along with other people pretty easily, and was surprisingly selfish. Asterisk's heroine had very weak social skills and was surprisingly selfless, and Taimadou's heroine was too serious about her position, and had trouble relying on other people. Now, I'm not saying they weren't similar, especially since they existed in the same season next to each other, but I feel like calling a character terrible because you can point out the tropes that created that character isn't right. xanth712 said: Maybe I am feeling a little fleeced because I half-expected something a little more serious, though containing fanservice-y stuff, and I thought that was a good blend. I just did not get it, yet. Hopefully that will happen soon. You wanted a more serious anime, so when you saw them going around in high school, not doing life or death battles and doing limbo with deceased telephone poles you were disappointed? Sounds to me like Steins Gate would've disappointed you then. It has great time travel stuff but it's slightly overshadowed by all the otaku culture. I don't know. I think you should change your expectations of this anime if you want to enjoy it. Interesting universes are quite literally par for the course in anime. 90% of anime have a unique and interesting setting from my experience so just go with the flow of what they want to do. For instance, Ghost in the Shell is a serious interpretation of how society would change upon mechanization, while Plastic Memories is a half-serious interpretation. A lot of the underlying concepts of both universes are the same, but the author chose the tone he/she wanted to focus on. So don't think that the setting the world is taking place in isn't being used to it's potential. Give it time to do that on its own. Just enjoy it for what it is. |

| Rururaruri Rurararirararururirirari Rirararururararururararirari Hoooray more booby-style tai chi~ So much stretching... Nomnom cliche ero finger sucking lol. Fun stuff. All you scrubs with the weird-ass complaints. Anime is made by japan, for japan. By akiba, for akiba first and foremost. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Anime has a strong tendency to be simultaneously deep and philosophical, while portraying itself in a lighthearted and nonsensical fan-servicey manner. So it's serious and it's not serious at the same time. Get used to it. I wanna see more Kurumi~ |

| Damn that flexibility exercise by Mai! how amusing...the full name of Ruru. 3/5. |
 |
| That fan service :). The story didn't progress but it's entertaining. |
| Better than the first episode. Best girl is black hair girl, the way she licked that finger tho I got fucking HYPED 3/5 |
 |
| Not bad, this was actually fun to watch. The full name scene though lol. I feel sorry for Haruhiko for being 'useless' compared to the other girls, hope he will develop more abilities in the future |
 |
| I still like the cool OP song. That was some awesome fighting scenes.. I hope there will be a chance for Haruhiko so shine though. It's funny but getting treated like a sandbag all the time ain't fun. Btw that was hot.. Reina-chan totally best girl right now. xD Kinda reminds me of Charlotte.. cancel the drama. |
| I really like Haruhiko and i think he deserves another anime. |
| 2/5 Its settled then. I like Kyokai no Kanata, but this one really just a fanservice show after all, with nothing else worth KyoAni show. Even HaruChika is more like KyoAni at its best with Hyouka style than watching this. |
| that dog reminds me to the cat from Chuunibyou... ok show by the way... |
 |
| I really don't know. I feel that this anime is stalling something big. It feels like I wasted 22 minutes watching this episode. Not much happened to say the least. I bet that if we skipped this episode, the anime would've done fine later on. Some innocent fan service we have here from Ruru and the other girls. |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| I still don't get the part where she have to fondle her boobs to seal the demons other than fanservice. It was kind of funny in someway, but it's not that wow. I guess I'll stick to it some more because Hayami Saori's character is quite likable in this anime. |

HanafiBouchebout said: If you want to see something shocking about this series go to this link: Fake spoilers. Besides anime adapts only first volume so whatever happens in second is meaningless for anime. |
 |
HanafiBouchebout said: WTF they're going to adapt only one volume in 13 episodes, now this is a bit unbelievable I mean most (13-14) episodes Animes tend to adapt 03 or 04 volumes and even 06 like in Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai and Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, did you read the Synopsis(especially this part Is the world the real thing...? Or is it a mere phantom...?) plus if what the whole volume 02 is about volume 01 being a mere illusion then what's the point of watching/Adapting this Anime. They did same with Kyoukai no Kanata. Anime original scenes and anime original characters (like Ruru and Kurumi). Also that about being illusion is fake. What is point of watching any anime if you forget about it eventually? |
|
| This show isn't too bad so far. Mai's outrageously sized boobs and groping is pretty random and unneeded lol |
  |
| This show's been really fun. Reminds me of Haganai in a way :) |
mmm, look similar, maybe a reencarnation... if you know what is the spanish translation for koito f*** |
| I hope Kyo Ani have better way again |
| Mai stretching *^* Dat finger sucking dayum The plot is strong with this one~ Koito chanting was pretty silly, nice to see some more of her though |
 |
| A fun episode, and we find out more about the girl with the headphones. Second part was funny, when he summoned the phantom, I was expecting it to mess up but not a cute dog with wings xD |
 |
| ... mai penis is erect |
 |
HaXXspetten said: Mai should just get her own hentai anime already smh Onii-chan knows. Mai's legs are beautiful. Oh man, I can't remember the last time I was so consistently enthralled by fan service. The way they execute it is marvelous, just marvelous. The rest of the shit is pretty good too! |

Haha, awesome! And whoever made those subs for it too! |
|
| Rururaruri Rurararirararururirirari Rirararururararururararirari is apretty damn long name lol she's kinda like Puck from Berserk lol The number of times Haruhiko was thrown out was classic Kyoani lol, repetitive but entertaining. You can hate it for being ecchi all you want, this shit is pretty entertaining. |
| this episode was alright, definitely better than the first episode. the part with the dog was hilarious, and so was the full name scene. i found the "break, break, break! tune, tune, tune!" chant to be really annoying, but i'm sure i'll get used to that. i hope the little dog gets more screen time. he's super cute. <: |
| Marchosias! LOL it was so fun! |
 |
| I dunno, this episode didn't really work. There were many cliches again but I can't say it was really fun (which is bad when you are using cliches). I already hate Minase, her chant was very annoying and her rejecting attitude is so obvious (=make her not very interesting character) Story-wise this anime is full of logical plotholes (why he did summon new phantom for example when their goal is to banish them). It's almost of average fanfiction quality. It realy feels like a mixture of everything cool but it slips into mediocrity due to it. The way they employs fanservice and borrows things from other animes (Psycho-Pass, Monogatari or Shakugan no Shana this time) just means that this show can't really stand on its own. Yehart said: I concur. Her voice was totally unexpected. I expected the voice those enigmatic, mysterious and quiet girls have tbh. For me, she sounds a bit like HanaKana in Nisekoi, or at least she's trying it. Truth to be told I'm also not totaly convinced this fits her character the best. |

| you threw him out of a window four times in a row, but suddenly you're really concerned about the tiny papercut on his finger? also, doing stretching exercises in the middle of a classroom because hurr durr fuck off. |
| I like how this show decides not to be taken seriously and is just silly and entertaining. That alone makes it better than Grimgar already. Cool fight scenes and plenty of funny moments. Good episode. I'm beginning to really wonder why this series isn't tagged as ecchi. |
| I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to say about this show. The colors are pretty, the spell effects are nice. The comedy is grin and chuckle worthy. The fan-service is meh. I'm not really a fan of the service anyway. I am a sucker for running gags though. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Introducing the new character, Koito; seems to he whole lone wolf trait going on in her. Mai streching is the highlight of the episode. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Oh my gosh, the little phantom dog is so cute. I hope that he sticks around for the whole series. Also, was I the only one reminded of the dude in FMA with the ridiculously long name with Ruru told us her full name? |
DreamingBeats said: -Trippwire- said: Mai has a mole on her left inner thigh... >main character explaining about stuff >viewers only paying attention at the girls thigh I think you mean - main character explaining about useless stuff - cameraman got bored and found something to keep the viewers from falling asleep during MC's rant. Fixed. Episode was ok. Kinda boring. Considering I've only watched two episodes I can say this: Without fanservice this Anime knda sucks. Thankfully I'm using this Anime to kill time for Attack On Titan S2.(To make the wait feel less longer than it might actually be) |
| I play video games. You should play a video game because you read my signature. |
| Another very lovely episode! That ending was great! But I do wonder what that device is. |
 |
| Koito thought she was a special snowflake but got rekt XD Pervy UFO ayakashi causing problems and Haruhiko using his summon ability :) Device will bring trouble :( |
