I think the bashing this show is getting is really undeserved. Sure it is unintentionally funny and all, but it’s more of the same kind of eroge conversions we see season in and out. But I think we can definitely see the effort in there even if it’s all a jumble for now.

As for the plot, I think it’s interesting enough for now. We just don’t know how interesting it can get with the blind guy. I think there is a potential there.

There doesn’t seem to be as many interesting shows (or even the same number of shows) as last season, so this will stick in my ‘must watch’ category.

lol what is this long post from Di Gi I see in the comments here! But yea, you pretty much got everything right…..except I’ll probably just be looking at Hinano’s random babble about it too xD. Also, traps.. \o/

This is sad… I watched it. And only for Hamaji. The SD is cute. The rest of the show isn’t terribly interesting. The OP/ED is okay, typical Elements Garden, but addictiveness isn’t there like… the ninomiya ones >_> OP better than ED.

Animation is okay, nothing outstanding. BGM, okay, nothing impressive.

Summary:
Agree with the comment “didn’t rock my soul”. Would add, not even r0xx0rz my b0xx0rz. If continue to watch, will be like the ninomiyapile, ie, watch it for Hamaji only. Probably Otoha/Maki. Otoha should go “Boku wa Nero, Anticross Nero” and summon Nameless One sometime for fun or just attempt Paella magic.

Most likely will let totali/hinano do the hardwork blogging the summaries first then decide to continue or not. >_>

Still not watching yet… but let’s see how much Hamaji can seduce people to watch. :3

Kabitzin: WHAT are you talking about, the animation was the most stunning I’ve seen since Clannad. No, ok…..no.

Skua: Eh yea, to be honest, it wasn’t horrible. It’s just that I’ve had it with watching so many of these eroge adaptions. There’s so many…and they’re only slightly different from each other. And, I don’t think you can compare School Days with the rest xD

Impz: lol!!!! Dude that was so bad. I think that got everyone’s attention. But yea, I think everyone had the same reaction.

I actually enjoy H20 more than I should have, but it is probably the woman beating of the tsundere that captured my attention. I will watch a few episodes to see the reason for justifying woman beating and the condoning of such behavior by the whole class.

To be honest, I don’t see anything particularly bad about this. Aside from the low production values and fanservice (which isn’t overly excessive, IMO), it strikes me as a typical eroge adaptation – nothing more, nothing less.

This genre covers at least 80% of what I watch these days, and I can say that Ep. 1 stacks up relatively well; it’s certainly better than the openers for Da Capo or Gift (and infinitely better than stinkers like Green Green and Tsuyokiss), and perhaps on par with this year’s School Days.

Sometimes I feel that opinions are too often swayed by superficial hooks, such as pretty animation, shocking violence (School Days, which started generic and fell apart in the second half, but still won many fans), or dubious promises of “deep” mysteries (Myself; Yourself, which the online community was all over despite how shitty the writing/direction was). I understand that hooks help a series stand out from the pack, but can we actually say they make things better?

This show rocked the lower limit of production values.

Orihime: Heh, I can see why people enjoy it I guess. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it unless I was making fun of it though ;P.

Di Gi Kazune: I think Di Gi likes traps as much as I do lol. I could probably watch this show just for that….but uh, don’t quote me on that. xD

Zakarum: No way, this is way less torturing than Ninomiya. This is like so bad it’s good without even trying!!

“I’ll probably be watching this because of how bad it is…”

Kinda like Ninomiya-kun last season, eh? ^^;
