Anime-Source Synopsis & Reviews

Loads of parodies on the first episode, with lack of seriousness. As expected of GONZO, I suppose. But man, its been a while since I've watched some adventure shows.

I really don't know if I should be excited or disappointed with that first episode. It just seemed completely and totally out there.

I guess I feel more disappointment than anything because I felt that this would be a more serious anime, but I take it that GONZO puts out more comedy than drama...

Silly me, I should learn more about the Studios before I make assumptions on what genre it might be <_<

I like the idea of having the subbed version released simultaneously in youtube.. Very Happy

tis all good... Very Happy

but can't watch just yet... have to wait... Very Happy

edit: just watched it...

I thought it was awesome... Very Happy

the parodies are a killer... it seems all so pointless and then it got down to business near the end... Very Happy

I'm anticipating this show... Very Happy

I didn't intend on watching this anime, just randomly stumbled onto it ... and for a first episode caught me by suprise. Although several parts were pretty funny ... but yeah like xris said, it felt like all that all of it was just wasted since it was his dream

And judging from the opening sequence ... they go to school too? That confused me a little ... not sure if I'll keep going with this one.

Okay...just watched ep1...I gotta admit, I didnt expect this show to be a comedy.I thought it to be just some of those fantasy anime XD

the Opening Theme was kinda misleading,coz for a moment I thoughtprotagonist is the "Konata-type", simply dreaming about some fantasy land... ...

as for the parodies...hmm...seems to be playing alot on the stereotypes of the "minor roles getting killed off before fulfilling dreams" drama

And seriously,the"Vader lines" has gotta be the most heavily parodied scene ever . Very Happy

Overall, I cant really say this show is funny... (=_=)
Though the pun about the H-fetish was a killer
"Wait! Not yet ! Its getting good!!!"

well, its only ep1, so yeah, I'll see how the story turns out to be... ...

cant tell if they were playing an mmorpg game or not(like .hack).. but its kinda weird if the "hero" was dreaming about the game in the game itself Laughing

anyways, as sed it was a funny ep1, i really liked the heroes inconsistencies. just like an mmo, were they create their own story via roleplaying but lol how the story changes.

I didn't like the first episode, altough that scene was quite hilarious. Laughing

I'll watch the next ep and then decide to drop this or not.

After seeing that ED sequence from the first episode, it looked like Jil left Neeba's party (likely got booted for being such a noob) and joined the other girls.

Episode 2...
Looks like the seriousness has started now, and humor has toned down. Jil gets a new shield, and is now partying up with Kaaya and Ahmey.

Now with King Gilgamesh assassinated, I bet they might kick him out of Meskia.

But yeah, this show really is like an MMORPG.

"What kind of useless Guardian are you!? newfag is b&."

my brother watched the first episode and described it as such...

"it seems they tried to make it as pointless as possible and yet it has to make sense..."

whatever that means...

yeah...

anyways... on to youtube...

I decided to give this show another chance, and watched the second episode.

I enjoyed viewing the show much more this time. At least it's not pointless humour. But I feel kind of sorry for Jil at the end of the episode <_<
