| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, what a dress... |

It being only nine episodes long, plus a movie with TV and new footage, plus it being KyoAni (with their recent "trolling"), makes for some fodder. |
| This show has potential to be better than it is now if it was longer and had more time to flesh out more on its history and such. It's a shame that it's so short. |
 |
| Great episode, the colorful animation is really enjoyable. |

It being only nine episodes long, plus a movie with TV and new footage, plus it being KyoAni (with their recent "trolling"), makes for some fodder. i guess so. i wouldn't consider it too fast paced. i prefer this than having something longer and they screw it up like what happened with the dialogue etc of the last two arcs of to aru. |
| Yeah, animation was pretty nice. Yumemi's dress was great. But the episode was a bit boring imo. >: |
| This episode was wonderfull imo. Sad that it's only 9 episode, I would have well seen this as a 24 episode serie, there's just too many thing to develop in only two more episode, the fight are gonna be slow or the ending is gonna get scrapped, it's one of both :S. |

| Boring. For once they managed to focus on the story, but it all felt too late and too slowly explained. This is what should have happened within the first three episodes, but Kyoto was just too lazy to redo the whole thing. What is especially crazy is that the character design changed vastly between the past couple of episodes. I don't know, this was promising, but ultimately a failure due to laziness. |
| i liked this episode a lot, nice to see lots of things about akuto explained and there were much fewer fights in this one. i think it's not rated very highly because very few (if you can call one and a half thousand people few) are watching Munto TV. Basically the more viewers the greater is the possibility to receive a higher score. For example currently highest rated anime Kara no Kyoukai 5 has been watched by roughly 5000 people, out of them roughly 900 gave a 10, another 600 a 9. But Munto is being watched only by approx 1600 people and currently only 57 have given it a 10 and that's pretty much nothing compared to thousand 10's. |
crazy_eights said: really enjoyeed the bkgrnd music again. im surprised that this isn't rated higher. The BGM were definitely great and the animation/art is top notch. On top of that, I'm a little soft for fantasy worlds, so I really enjoy this series and I wondered too why Munto is not more appreciated by the fans, it has basically everything to please fantasy fans, not counting KyoAni fans. I found this episode very good and the background of the series well-explained even if not incredibly original. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| As a fantasy fan, I'm disappointed because it's not really narrative fantasy as much as it is visual fantasy. Sure, everything looks pretty, but the story is run-of-the-mill and the characters don't help either. |
| I liked how they combined elements of Babylonian and Atlantian myth with space and time travel in this episode. It's unfortunate they couldn't develop a longer series around this concept and, instead, it just serves as backstory for a relatively generic "restoration" plot. (BTW, I'm only using the descriptors "Babylonian" and "Atlantian" to describe the general tower and lost civilization scenarios, not implying an explicitly intentional correspondence -- in case anyone wants to get on my case about that.) As to the ratings, I've always thought that it is pretty silly to allow the overall series to be reviewed or rated before it's completely aired, but, since MAL allows it, you can't help but get ones that don't reflect an investment in the series. I don't see how one can offer judgment on an artistic work without at least first allowing the whole of it to be considered, which is not to say partial or negative judgments should not be allowed. Rather it is to say that they, along with positive assessments, shouldn't be allowed in a privileged space (i.e. in the "review" or "rating" spaces) before the whole of the work is even able to be considered. Instead, they should be relegated solely to partial spaces (such as these threads), which allow open discussion and the relative merits or demerits to be considered during the time in which the series itself remains in an uncompleted state. noteDhero said: As a fantasy fan, I'm disappointed because it's not really narrative fantasy as much as it is visual fantasy.

That's a good point, though personally I'd say the visuals and seeming depth to the world are sufficiently intriguing to somewhat overcome the narrative shortcomings. I don't think the series is bad in any way -- just saturated with untapped potential. |

| i think it got like 10 times better once it switched into new material and the animation got better. munto doesnt look like such a creeper anymore haha. |

| Gass is the man that's all I got to say. |

| Great episode. The animation was nice, and it has very colorful as always. I knew this series has a lot of potential, but it have 2 episodes left to go, so I just hope that final episode have a good ending. Oh, Yumemi's dress was great. |
| so humans are food for the gods....haha. the animation is rather sweet. it seemed they rushed though some parts, but at least they explained whats going on. i guess now its the final showdown. that dress is killer. |

 |
| Well personally I was happy to see some real interaction between Yumemi and Munto, since every time they talked before they were in a hurry to do stuff... :P |
     |
| The animation is superb as always. The story is getting cleared up now. I would say that this show has potential. However, it still lacks something to stand out against other shows. If they can figure that out, this show will be a masterpiece in no time. Honestly, I am awed by the show's character design. |
     |
| Amazing episode. Yumemi in general is just very pretty. She definetly got prettier in that one year that passed. |
 |
| Great episode indeed. The music was good, graphics was good, and Yumemi was SO cute in that dress. She looks fit to be Munto's wife. XD |
     |
| I thought the episode was okay. For series like this, there needs to be some info dump about some of the origins of the fantasy world, its allies/enemies, etc. |
 |
| Gass. ;_; |
| That past, so intense... |
 |
| And the necessary explanation of their world, it's a shame that too late at this point. And of course, we have the much-needed antagonist who hates Munto and will do everything possible to stop him cuz u know the plot must be longer lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
