| Wah, wah, wah, generic, generic. Peronally, i haven't seen The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat (but i think that this was pretty popular), but i have seen Date a Live and Oreigaru. I thoroughly enjoyed both of these series. What makes people want to watch 'generic' shows is either that they really love fantasy no matter the quality... or something else drew them in. Something like the characters designs, author, director etc. I'm gonna be the first person to say that the draw of this project is the people who will be writing the scripts. The premise and setting of the show will not be it's draw (although i'm up for any decent action fantasy). EDIT: well, i'm also a sucker for babes with big ass swords and guns (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°) these character designs look really cool too imo (inb4 kek, this guy loves generic character designs). EDIT: BASICALYL I'M A TRIGGERED FANBOY ALRIGHT, I ADMIT IT LOL |

| Mm. With collaborations like this, big name authors are what draw people into watching it, when they wouldn't think twice about something else that has a mildly more interesting premise with no such big name authors being a part of the project. The mentality is "I liked X, so I'll probably at least enjoy Y." You just want to see more of the author's work. The premise is generic, and I've heard from LN readers that the series IS generic. Personally, I'm still going to watch it, whenever it comes out. High Production values, somewhat interesting premise, Big Name people being a part of the project. Coppelion, anyone? To say I dislike The Hentai Prince and The Stony Cat would be like saying "I think somewhat lowly of Mars of Destruction". Not a big fan. Date a Live did not catch my interest, I dropped it after an episode. Oregairu is really the only reason I'm here. And even then, I can definitely see this anime failing on more than a few levels just because of the generic premise. I don't think Watari Wataru can spice it up enough to make it interesting, so hopefully the other script-writers have something in store. I see this project as salvaging the good or 'not terrible' parts of the Light Novel and making it at least somewhat interesting and enjoyable to watch. I hold no expectations going in, I just want to see a bit more of Watari's work. |

I really haven't looked too much into this series and I don't think I will, because I don't want to end up reading the synopsis and character descriptions and when I end up actually watching it, there really isn't much more depth to it than that. I feel like I might unwittingly get my hopes up if I read more about it, so I just put it on the backburner until it comes out. When I said that I heard LN readers call it generic, I meant that I read some comments about it on Reddit when I was searching for the release date for the newest volume of Oregairu. I'm the type of person who will stick around when the story starts off with an interesting premise and then slows down, waiting for the big event to happen. If you've ever read any Web Novels, I'm talking about when some guy gets reincarnated and they inevitably have to deal with either the Demon King or Hero. It's also the reason I ended up watching Saki (the mahjong anime) - I was waiting for a showdown between MC and her sister and for everything to be resolved and whatnot. That's what keeps me around. When a story doesn't start off with an interesting premise, I've already been kneecapped. If there doesn't seem like there's any potential for the characters to become interesting and/or badass in the future, then I just end up dropping it out of disinterest. In the past, when I first started watching anime, I would stick around through the bad stuff to get to the good stuff, but after investing 150 days into anime over 4 years (I'm not sure if I'd call that bragging?...), I just don't feel like it's worth it anymore. I start feeling like, "I've seen it all before." The stuff I watched in the beginning was all about sitting through the bad stuff in an attempt to get to the good stuff (if there was anything there). My first anime was Bleach, and my second Naruto. I finished both of those series, and I sorely regret that. Sorry about that, I went off on a tangent somewhat. |

| It's typical Aniplex baiting tactics otherwise who would want to watch their originals? Same as how they use "Oh it's Sawano" again as a crutch to get people to watch original action shows strictly for the music. Too many cooks in the kitchen (Only one of which has frankly written anything kind of good and more like one specific arc of that thing otherwise full melodrama the rest of the way) and out of their comfort zone format also rarely works for coherent script writing and this will probably be 12 episodes so I don't know why anybody would have particularly high expectations but then zero standards nowadays anyway so it's not like logic and skepticism is involved. |

| Well as long as it wont suffer the same case that Chaos Dragon experience(poorly directed), I see no reason to be disappointed. The idea is cliche so it is easy to compile story of different faction like this. It's only a matter of how each faction will be connected on this one. |
 |
| yeah, i heard about chaos dragon and how bad it was... >____> although the idea of authors collaborating isn't a new one... hopefully this one actually works out haha i don't have any expectations from this. so if it just turns out to be an average action show, then that's fine with me. as long as it's not too terrible... <____< and now it's announced LiSA, ClariS and GARNiDELiA are doing the ops and eds? talk about star powaa |

imbuement said: Said that, and you didn't read DAL? It exactly is like that. I would greatly appreciate it if, in the future, you quote the precise passage in my writing you're referring to. I assume you meant to quote this passage: I'm the type of person who will stick around when the story starts off with an interesting premise and then slows down, waiting for the big event to happen. And were confused as to why I dropped Date A Live (DAL?), because DAL has an interesting premise (or so you say; I don't remember much of it except lots and lots of girls). I dropped DAL because I dislike harems in almost every form, with the sole exception being The World God Only Knows. I also really dislike Mecha, wasn't a fan of its comedy and I was getting rather sick of anime set in school at the time. I tend to stick with stories that start off with an interesting premise, but there are some stories that just aren't for me. |

| we will soon be able to see if this show is actually decent enough.... i was just thinking though that i've watched some generic shows but still enjoyed them... being generic isn't always a turn off.... >___> |

| This description is too vague to say that this is generic. These types of stories can potentially evolve into something really unique |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa... Did the authors separate characters based on prefectures? Like Watari writing Chiba characters while other 2 doing Yokyo and Kanagawa |

Teixe said: Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa... Did the authors separate characters based on prefectures? Like Watari writing Chiba characters while other 2 doing Yokyo and Kanagawa You're right! I found this helpful article which will answer most of the questions you'd want to know. |

| it's still 2 episode so i can't really tell. but i hope that it will get better in the future episode. BT-kun said: Teixe said: Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa... Did the authors separate characters based on prefectures? Like Watari writing Chiba characters while other 2 doing Yokyo and Kanagawa You're right! I found this helpful article which will answer most of the questions you'd want to know. so the reason why this anime looks a little bit generic on the story is because Date A Live's author..... Watari is juggling numerous projects at the moment, including but not limited to: Oregairu, his contribution to the Qualidea Code light novels, the original script for the anime, and his contributions to Girlish Number (another multimedia franchise which is rather vague and fuzzy about the details for the moment). With so much stuff on his plate, it’s no wonder Oregairu keeps getting pushed back. I’m not sure if you can even expect the next Oregairu volume to be published this year, frankly. Oh well, at least Oregairu fans have the Qualidea series to tide them over for now… right? it would looked more better if Date A Live's author didn't put apocalyptic setting to the story. tbh, i seriously got dissapointed after i heard that Date A Live's author was the one who made that idea. just that story setting. that is the only thing that now, after reading that article, bother my enjoyment right now. |
