As far as the mangaka is concerned, I prefer Aflame Inferno to Black God. It's got much more interesting characters and a cool premise. Even ignoring the existence of Aflame Inferno, Black God as a manga still hasn't gotten very interesting, and I'll tell you why I think this is the case: because Kuro is one of the main characters. Her powers are teh suck, her attitude is teh suck, she's teh suck. Keita should have gotten stuck with someone else as a co-lead character. @Rawr: Forget Black God.

They also toned Keita down from a angry, misogynistic bastard of an adult who works as a free-lance game programmer to a possibly emo angst-ridden high school student. Way to go Sunrise. Turn an full-fledged adult into a angst-ridden high school student, and rewrite this story into an abysmal emo high school drama. I can see where this is going already. I'll give it a chance, but if they spend more than 3 episodes focusing on school drama that wasn't there in the first place, I'm calling it quits. Regarding Keita's character, I'm ambivalent. I'd hate him either way. I hated him in the manga at the beginning because he was a downright misogynistic bastard. However from what you've said of him in the anime, he sounds like he's going to be the freaking typical shitty harem wuss that lets the woman do all the fighting. Honestly, I'd greatly prefer the manga Keita, since he's an adult, so we'd be free of this angst-ridden time-filler shit, but at the same time, he's a misogynistic bastard (a trait still not present in the anime) in the manga, and we all know how fun they can be (/sarcasm). They've already started off on the wrong footing by changing Keita's age, and consequently his personality, lifestyle, and setting... We can only hope they can rewrite the main events skillfully, and managae to not make Keita into a dip shit protagonist with no redeeming qualities in the process.

Regarding Keita’s character, I’m ambivalent. I’d hate him either way. I hated him in the manga at the beginning because he was a downright misogynistic bastard.

They’ve already started off on the wrong footing by changing Keita’s age, and consequently his personality, lifestyle, and setting… We can only hope they can rewrite the main events skillfully, and managae to not make Keita into a dip shit protagonist with no redeeming qualities in the process.

I can't believe that this got turned into an anime... I hope this isn't so toned down, I just loved those 'oh my god, I can't believe that happened' moments in the original manga. I have high hopes for this (hope they aren't dashed).

I loved everything you hated about this show. I also loved the things you loved about it, so here we go. I've read the manga and was afraid they might screw it up, but they haven't so far. They've improved it, if anything. It is an emotional cut above most anime, especially most shounen anime. That may be the result of having the director of Emma and the writer of Marimite doing the adaptation of the excellent manga (done in Japanese by two Koreans).
