| Not a bad beginning. I like the characters a lot, they make a great group. I do not, however, like the art (well, not as much as I expected. It's good, but not as good as others I've seen), nor the world itself. The world (or dimension) seems strange. I thought it was Monster Hunter (since that was the game he was playing), but maybe not, I'm not sure at all.. But yeah, like I said, not a bad start, although very strange beginning. I think as the series progresses, the characters will become more likable. 4/5 |

| This anime it's not really my thing but it's funny so I'll give it one more shot |

joshua_mai said: The op song is lame too. The OP song is the FUNNIEST I have heard for some time, but I wonder if the English sub will do it justice. I did not watch it with English sub so I have no idea how the OP is translated, but it is funny to me because almost every bit of the lyrics has double meanings! On the surface the song is just a shounen type of anime song about fighting and friendship (yet some parts have its own double-meaning, making the lyrics having triple meanings in those parts) but if you read it in kanji the song is full of terms from MMO games as well as about the troubles and nightmare one faces when you play MMO games !! IT IS NOT LAME AT ALL !!!!!!!! One thing I would like to know is - Does the English sub ever translate what DT (which is in the title and repeated so many times in the OP) is ??? |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I cried tears of laughter when he kicked his balls, hahaha. I hope it continues to be that hilarious. |
| Did the English fansub translate what ED means? |

Granted Ixion Saga is not anything amazing but at least it knows that and can have a good laugh at itself. SAO actually takes itself seriously when it's just plain bad cliche writing. |

-MgZ_ said: Lol at the people comparing this to SAO and even saying that this is better than SAO [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxqzjoiz8A1r7o0zwo1_500.gif[img] SAO has bad writing, an mediocre OST, horrid characters, the worst romance i've ever seen etc... All while taking itself seriously. All in my opinion ofcourse. Ixion on the other hand is a (good) comedy, has an interesting protagonist(potential to become to the best male lead of Autumn 2012, imo) and other likeable characters, i'm liking the OST so far, its a comedy so the story is not that important, it doesn't take itself seriosly, I wouldn't called it "clichéd"(I might change my mind if you point out what is clichéd about it) and ontop of that its also fabulous. But thinking about this.. comparing a show like SAO to a comedy is a bit silly.. What makes a comedy good is different than what makes a show like SAO good. Although SAO failed, while Ixion succeeds. |

| I thought it was hilarious and damn, shouldn't expect less from that Director... ;) |
| oh god, they have a shemale CC |
| The princess reminds me of Blossom from PPG Z. I should try to finish that again if it wasn't full of so many flashing colors that make your head spin. Anyway, I think I'll watch this one. |
| Funy light hearted shit. Let's see where episode 2 takes us, but as it stands I enjoyed this first episode! |
 |
| Oh my, so many familiar voices, I can't mistake Zoro from One Piece, Zeheart from MS Gundam AGE, I think I heard Sugita's voice...and that maid/trap's voice is familiar too. I expected he will interrupt his charging up skill as it happened to him earlier but I didn't think he'll kick him in the nuts. LOL And with that godawful boots too. XD RPG parody...I liked it! XP Will watch more. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Wow this has to be the epitome of generic shounen battle stuff. I won't be that quick to judge so I'll at least watch episode 2 before deciding anything. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I must say, it was pretty fun. Liked the characters, yes even Mariandele. The girl at the beginning was pretty sexy, I understood Kon's reactions completely. The comedy is nice and overall... it's entertaining for me, and that is what matters. Gonna stick with it for now. ^^ |
 |
| 4/5 Nice episode it was hilarious xD I don't know if I'll continue watching it n_n... |
| I think some people thinking about Berserk when they watch this show. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Oh my god, to think I wasn't going to pick this show up. Hilarious throughout with interesting quirky characters. Glad that Eguchi is voicing Kon, this show's feel is like that of Oda Nobuna to me. |
Kuroniiro said: some classic anime haters here :P from guilty crown to SAO people really like to hate the popular animes because it bothers them that people like things haha wow, biased much. don't understand the mechanism's of a good anime. GC, Future Diary and SAO have plot holes and no character development as big as the moon. We actually can see that the anime is super cliche. We're not hating for no reason. We like shows that actually have a decent story so we don't have to face palm and have our eyes gouged out everytime we watch since it really is terrible. If you can't see that thse shows are absolutly terrible then I really don't know what is wrong with you. Maybe you delude yourself into thinking its amazing just because its funny or because the fights are epic. There more to anime than that, this is for sure. As for this anime, 4/10. Dropped. |

| Well that sure was a pleasant surprise. My main thing with this anime is the flow of events. There was no awkward pacing or anything; everything was smooth like butter. Add on polished animation, Araragi and Zoro's VAs, nice comedy, nice music... and you've got yourself a pretty darn decent anime! |
| I started with this series late, didn't plan on watching it to begin with. Nakai Kazuya and Fukuyama Jun, two of my favourites. We also have a loli who isn't cute, I like those. Jun plays a very cute trap, that's awesome. So far it's looking good |

| I was expecting this to be garbage, but it was actually pretty funny. As long as it stays a comedy I think I might enjoy it. I just hope it doesn't give into the urge to become a generic shounen action drama. |
| I refuse If you refuse I'll kill you I refuse that too. LOL |
| Ok, finished 1st episode. I don't know I have watched but I've LMFAO and I love it already xD |
Taufiq91 said: Ixion Saga is enjoyable as fuck. It brings in traps and lolis and an amazing seiyuu cast and it's directed by the best comedy director in the anime industry. What the fuck does SAO have? Nothing. Sure, it has a bigger budget and Yuki Kajiura, but that's nothing. FukuJun as a trap? Sold. An army of villains led by Kamiyan and Sugita? Sold. Director of School Rumble and Gintama? Sold. Dick jokes done tastefully? Sold. grumpy loli voiced by Akarin? Sold. I've enjoyed Ixion Saga based solely on all of this, and the uniqueness of this anime makes it much more better than SAO. Agreed on all fronts. I was surprised when I came here and there was a somewhat negative response, the first episode was great. Given the good first episode and low MAL score, I assumed it got worse as it went on. But seeing people dislike the first episode puts things in perspective, a lot of people don't like it in general. But that means it could have that low MAL score in spite of maintaining this quality, which makes me happy. Not a masterpiece, but it doesn't pretend to be. (Could rattle off so many examples of anime that try and fail at this, it's sad really). |
| So many people disliked it? I find it to be fun, and funny at times. There are so many famous VAs (Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Sakata Gintoki & Lelouch vi Britannia) |

| LMAO I died at ED and DT joke... 9/10 EP |
 |
| funny that kick was a nutcraker |
| That was a crazy first episode. And the seiyuu cast is great. Will keep watching. Mariandale <3 |
| That was a funny episode LOL. My goodness Marian is such a trap. |
| Best anime ever. And those OP and ED lyrics? LOL. |
| This was so generic, though I that kick in the balls the MC did at the end of that fight was pretty funny. |
| RIP.. the divine balls.. It's goddamn hilarious! |
| Pathetic anime: cheap combat scenes, forgettable music, idiotic choice of characters for a "comedy" anime without any jokes, somehow there are people exist which saying that this anime is analog of Konosuba. |
can make it through some episodes i guess but why make green hair that way , dropping this after some episodes for sure  |
