I went into this anime thinking it’d be horrible but then I actually found it pretty interesting. I loved the parodies in this episode although I wonder how the rest of the series would turn out. Oh Gonzo, you sure know how to reel people in.

I have to wonder if this is the actual show though… it seems like a haruhi type thing with a completely disjointed first episode, and both the website and next week’s preview makes it seem like a plain fantasy story. Mainly I never heard anything about this being a comedy, just a bad MMORPG tie-in. The first episode might just be a parody to sucker people in that just assumed it would be another generic gonzo bit.

It’s not like it’s -that- good now. Just very different from expected. Only the ending with all its references and parodies were any of the jokes that actually worked with me.

Come on, if it isn’t terrible now, it’ll surely become so in the next few eps. This is Gonzo we’re talking about after al. :(

“This is not an action show though… the ‘action’ is terrible. The animation and whatnot is fine, but all the action is people standing around yelling “KILLING MOVE – XYZ” and then explosions.”

Well, yeah, because it’s parodying fantasy/adventure shows that do that. Not only did they do “Killing Move XYZ!” but they even over exaggerated those scenes (how long does it take the guy to power up his sword?!)

Oh, and if one can have their conscience forgive them for doing so, Crunchyroll is probably an even better place to get it subbed. BOST apparently has it too.
