Why I find his behavior too unbelievable --> he's too comfortable in his new environment, too fearless from death (by beheading, both in ep 1 and 2) and goes about rambling his knowledge, with no heed to caution. It will be nice if he really shows some intellect and behave more logically (despite his illogical environment), so his current behavior seems forced to suit the way the author wants it to go, imo. And that's the only problem I have with it, the alternate reality setting is kind of nice though.Chaos2Frozen wrote:Really? I kinda like it ^^; In fact I kinda like it ALOT- even more than Campione, which was the show I had bet on before the start of the season. Nobuna was my first real surprise of Summer and my reasons were directly contrasting with yours I find the protagonist more likeable/entertaining than the others of it's kind (others being Campione/Hagure/H Dekinai/Imouto) I also like the whole impressing girls with his 21st century modern high school education method of building a harem. The story was also alot better than I had expected, I honestly thought it would be just another ecchi-fest series.larethian wrote: I think the story of Oda Nobuna is kind of dumb and nonsensical (in terms of the protag's behavior, which seems forced and illogical to me), and moreover it's not even funny, but I still watch it for Itou Kanae (seiyuu does make a difference ). I haven't even finished Horizon season 1 so......
And yes Itou Kanae is absolutely perfect in her role as Nobuna So perfect I think this would be one of those rare cases where an Anime adaptation is actually better than the original even though they have taken some 'liberties' with the events- I guess the only reason why people aren't rioting like Campione is because hardly anybody seem to have read the original ^^;

Re: Anime Summer 2012
I completely understand what you mean- However I view this as a good thing because it shows that he's... Enthusiastic and willing to take the initiative, he doesn't take long to get into the swing of things. In a way, I guess I'm looking at this through the pov of a prospective employer heh ^^; I like protagonists that hit the ground running.larethian wrote: Why I find his behavior too unbelievable --> he's too comfortable in his new environment, too fearless from death (by beheading, both in ep 1 and 2) and goes about rambling his knowledge, with no heed to caution.

And that's the only problem I have with it, the alternate reality setting is kind of nice though.
At the same time I don't think he's only there just to play the fool; there were several moments where he does share some words of wisdom and stand by his moral beliefs. I suppose part of the reason why he acts so reckless and fearless might be because the whole thing still feels surreal to him, or maybe because he has this romantic notion of the old Samurai ways? Who knows...

Re: Anime Summer 2012
So a while ago I decided to stop watching Arcana Famiglia because it felt like some sort of love comedy under the cover of a "magical mafia action" anime (aka shounen paradise). But since I hat just dropping anime for no real reason I stuck with it. I have to say Arcana has its good points (good plot, chracater development, back-stories that MAKE you empathize), but honestly I'm disappointed. I ws hoping for that shounen paradise but ended up with an otomege trying to attract male viewers with ht and run comedy, that throws feels at you like a homestuck tumblr post. As much as I like the powers and all (which is the only reason I'm watching), I really don't have a passion for it.

Re: Anime Summer 2012
I knew it was an Otome game adaptation. That's an instant "no" for me and something I gave to my sister.
I need to catch up on SAO, AW, ONnY and other series, but I'm bothered by some little tasks to do.

Somehow, a mafia game/anime with an otome game background seems wrong...so very, very wrong...Way to emasculate an entire genre, Japan!

- Too much content cut down. I feel that it could be disappointing...
- Minimum is done in SAO's execution. No transitions. Disappointment, but still good.
- One of the intriguing series of this season, I sould try it later.
- What else would you expect?
- Well, there's a lot of rage in this 2nd arc. I'm waiting for the outcome.

Re: Anime Summer 2012
OK, let's do this shit.
From worst to best. Taritari still to watch, as well as Jinrui from ep. 2. Dropped AF and Muv-Luv. Waiting English subs for ebiten. Only got to ep. 2 for KoiChoco because of some fiasco with the French fansub group I'm in.
Part 2 to come.
