Sexualizing children is a great way to add entertainment to any show. It is a wonderful tool to explore the psychology of the characters and form deeper connections with them. Repeating jokes over and over again is the ultimate form of comedy.

The characters are generic and plain. There is no depth to them. It's just a generic band of women dong the slice of life, except Mile really likes Episode 4 of Sword Art Online, but she hates black. I'd say something about High School DxD, but I have not seen that show.

A few months before I saw this show, I saw SAO. ... The characters felt samey, but at least they moved around a lot and there were lots of flashy colours and cool sword fights. Then I saw The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I was blown away by the intricacy and lively movement of the characters that I had never seen before. An enormous amount of love and effort had been poured into Haruhi to make it one of the most well-animated TV shows ever (maybe). (see Hare Hare Yukai)

The reason I wrote the previous paragraph was to praise Haruhi (primarily) and to show what a show in 2006 could achieve. Yet, in 2019, we were graced with "art" so lazy and stupidly put together it'd put Kayaba Akihiko's motivation to shame.

Also, SAO practically made the modern Isekai genre, so maybe the artists could have learned from them and know that sword users do not swing from left to right to rapidly attack the enemy's sword. THEY AIM FOR THE BODY. Intense action scenes should be the focus of the episodes, and therefore they should spend a lot of time on them. They could talk to Asuna and learn of a revolutionary technique, the thrust.

The backgrounds and the characters blend in as well as Guts, the Black Swordsman, would be in the Lucky Star universe. The characters have a coloured outline which makes them stand out against the semi-photo realistic backgrounds.

When is Haruhi S3?
