| I heard this was like an earlier Madoka. On Ep 6 and so far it's been kind of forgettable. |

| For me, it was around episode 14 and 15 when it became one of the best anime ever made. Mai-Otome also has a very slow start and an awesome second half. |

Damn, over 50% of it is as dull as the first few episodes? I don't know that I can take that. Kind of confused why it's so popular. Yeah... I got to about episode 10 and decided this wasn't for me. |

DarkSaintOfGin said: Kind of confused why it's so popular. Because it had everything the common 2000s internet consumer could dream of... - a "magic school", - giant beasts - that are mechanical-like, - warrior/wizard girls, - a collection of them ! (it was important back then) - in this dull 2000s design - and sporting the vital big breasts, - simple yet precise character types for every one of them, - but later uncovered as slightly less "simple", - don't forget the go-to anime music composer of those years, Kajiura Yuki, - and probably the same goes with certain voice actors (but I was never into the 2000s voice celebrities so I can't tell) - and after a few episodes, constant turnarounds and episodes desperately trying to top each other's dramatical peak. - a final battle for the universe. SUNRISE basically made a pot-pourri of what could please people and a far too big coverage of the series by fansub teams ensured the series was at the center of the internet anime people's attention. It's the Code GEASS of its years ! (I was so annoyed by the noisy internet crowds around this extremely engineered recipe that I didn't start the series before 2012.) Your problem is that you aren't "from that time period". A gloubiboulga of popular elements from now would be far more effective on you, I think. |
