Looks like I’m watching this after I get back to Vancouver from my X’mas holidays here in Manila.

Hmmm…seems like an interesting anime. Too bad I didn’t understand half of what they were saying…(therefore I relied on your blog here to get what this is all about). *sigh* if only I knew jap. Anyways, is there going to be any fansubs subbing this? I heard it got licensed by Bandai Entertainment and it seems they’re only going to release dubs for this. And as far as I know, english dubs suck balls.

By the way, the action scene in this was AWESOME! xD.

Isn’t it funny how Kaioshin is nowhere when people slammed the shit out of Chaos Head being a crap adaption from the game yet when people dare to say his beloved Sunrise fucked up he’s everywhere? Where were you when Kimikiss game fans where bitching about Kimikiss? When light novel fans were bitching at J.C Staff for Shana and Znt? When manga fans were tearing Madhouse a new one for that crappy Claymore ending? Oh Kaioshin you selective warrior you, I would say change your name to Sunrise Apologist but your name is synonymous with it anyway, so I guess there’s no need.

@ Kaioshin Sama:

No, this is how people watch their Sunrise anime in online circles…

So it seems half the audience for this show is only watching because they want the chance to freak out if something is changed from the manga and to start some memes going wherever possible (ahahaha…memes are so funny *rolls eyes*). I guess this really is how people watch their anime in the online circles now. I had thought it was just a phase, but nope, it’s the real deal, anime fandom has actually gone that downhill. Lame start to 2009…..

Actually watched the ep. Wow, really really good fight scene. What a way to start the year! Hope that the animation stays consistent like this.

And not only is Kuro hot, she knows how to make cute faces too!

Impz, manga Keita was hardly more of a douchebag than someone like Lelouch and Lelouch is one of the most popular characters ever. Luke from Tales of the Abyss is far worse than manga Keita so I don’t know why they made this change.

...This is one of the shows I will try to watch in order to restart my fandom into anime, and I hear it's getting a sequential Sunrise treatment. LULZ.

@Lelangir: let’s have a bet. That WILL HAPPEN. It is Sunrise after all, the animation team that prides itself for creating a shitstorm of LULZ that will resound to the edge of the galaxy. I am very sure that they will do just that, and the minor spoilers I hear seems to indicate some sudden mega character development where he turns from a wimp to a hero. That said, it is NOT EVEN a spoiler because every single shounen out there is about this. Meh.

@Hikari: Well, from what I have heard from other anime bloggers, the change is aiming to make Keita less alienating simply because his original character in the manga is so detesting that most new viewers of the show will feel like killing him with a stick of pain.

@Seme: Hopefully it will appear soon.

@Kypm: haha, do read my reply with Hikari. I guess anything including a school setting will lessen the hate and increase the fanservice. Or something similarly stupid. I think it is to make sure that all those sex-starved otakus can find someone to relate to. Maybe.

@Schneider: Don’t tell me. Next fetish: Drooling.

@Jalin: Hmm, I do not know but the concept is at least interesting. Hopefully, you do not need to hear my great disdain of how Sunrise happily butchers stuff again. Hear that from Calawain.

@Jarnel: Arr, ok. Maybe there is still some hope left.

This is one of the shows I am extremely looking forward to(despite the stupid changes such as Keita in high school, I have no clue why they did that). I expected high quality animation and it seems that Sunrise delivers. The manga is ok but I wouldn’t say it’s outstanding(I’m not that far into it like only 58 chapters or w/e has been scanlated).

Mmm…
keita as a school boy… ~_~
this might seem awkward.

I’m following the manga, and was anticipating the anime. Though, with this change of settings, i wonder how much difference it’d be in terms of atmosphere…..
*sigh*
oh well.. i’ll still follow to see how it goes.

“Keita is the typical brooding high school boy who fears to get close to anyone after his mother died”, So now school emo-boy is the fad? My god, they even butchered the character?! (Keita is a known carefree kind of a guy in the manga)
