| Took me 2 weeks to finish this.. In comparison, I finished Kekkaishi within 2 days. I really didn't like this series, especially the main protagonist Recca. The guy is more annoying than badass, almost all the time. None of the side characters are even that good. The action was atrocious, I couldn't care about the fight because of how asspull-ish the ending to literally every ending of a fight. It's such a shame too, the first episode was really promising. |

You're quite right. I managed to power through the last half of the series in a 24 hour span personally since I had nothing to do that day and wanted this off my plate. The action pretty much devolved into taking a beating for most of the fight and winning on a last minute reversal. If it had more proper exchanges throughout then it would've been much better. The manga isn't particularly great, but it exceeded better on that level I think. Even when it did what I just described, the fights went by quick enough for that to not stick much as a problem (they really dragged the fuck out of Recca vs the Bald Demon guy from the 1st round). The myriad of baffling adaptation choices hurt this as well (like Mikagami being a retard, thinking Recca had a hand in his sisters death when he should've been a kid, skipping Joker's battle with Koganei, or the conclusion to Kurei vs Recca). Also, don't watch The Final Burning OVA. It's meant to be seen by folks that have finished all 33 volumes of the manga. |

gedata said: I just did LOL, and I really like it. I know it spoils the ending of the manga series but I was not planning on reading the manga before I watched the OVA (that's how bad this anime is) and the OVA has convinced me otherwise. Since you and some other people are vouching for the manga (>anime) I think I'll give it a try.You're quite right.
