Proper endings are quite rare in nowadays animation. I shouldn't rate it low.

I like the concept, and in fact play a lot of RPGs, but anime that try to do the same end up talking way too much and just skip most of the fighting.

Like Tales, it's suppose to be a game. Yes, story is important but not to the extent that it overshadows battles. Anime audiences tend to have short attention lifespans and aren't much interested in more than 20 second conversations unless it's followed up by comedy, drama, fanservice or an action scene. ^_^ Yes, people are more interested on animating how characters level and battle their way to progress the story.

I mean, geez, they cut off the OP and ED just to cram in more dialog...!? Then again, what can you expect from fighting a(nother) giant dick monster? So in the end, Arawn is Kamina (minus the hot-blooded shonen personality) to Riannon's Simon. That's right, Riannon of all people! I pretty much facepalm'd after seeing her get trasported back to the flower field again only to get more words of encouragement from Primula. Let's just give her a Core Drill and get this over with! I guess Arthur just forgot his idiot flaws when he learned he was just being mindraped by some white dude. Then he goes on to become Saber as a bonus... I still can't believe how much they downplayed the harem aspect of this series. Hey! People! Arthur still needs a queen to rule with him, y'know! If we go by the Arthurian Legend, Morgan is the closest chance of Arthur having an "heir," but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Octavia being a (sorta) reasonable facsimile of Guinevere. Welp, like I said before, pacing issues, too many flashbacks, too much internal monologue, not enough action, and little to no character development pretty much ruined this potentially great anime. I just don't see this anime getting revisited with fanservice OVA's like Utawarerumono is currently enjoying. In the end, TtT is just a "watch once, then forget entirely"-series; it looks pretty (funded by Animax's international simulcast and all), but that's basically all it has going for.
