LOL... that's pretty harsh. I'll have to check this out and see just how bad it is... I guess with Gonzo spending all that money on Samurai 7, they're getting cheap on their other titles

Gonzo's only really good anime is Full Metal Panic 2. Even the first season of that was a mixed bag. Please do not mention Nadesico. The ending alone shames the whole anime forever.

I saw the raw, and I don't think I'll be following this either -_-;;
The main charcter is really unlikable, and something is seriously wrong with the art.
On the other hand, yaho, another anime struck off the bloated April list!

As for other anime which premiered on Tuesday:
Monster was fantastic, even if I only understood 60% of it. Anime-Kraze has a lot of work to do for the fansubs.
Downloading Bakuten now. Please let this be good...

Ammadeau:
Yes, Full Metal Panic s2 was nice, and Gonzo didn't produce it! It was done by er... Fuji animation or something like that.

Shining stars of April so far: Keroro Gunso and Trisia

[edit] Scrolled through BakuTen. Too much 3DCG robot stuff?
I'll watch it when I wake up later.
Downloading Tweeny Witches now...

Nadesico wasn't produced by them either! And I happen to like Nadesico anyway. Gonzo series I like: Vandread (specially the first season), Kiddy Grade (silly fun), and very specially Yukikaze.

Gonzo is pretty much hit or miss... so far I think their OAVs have been great... Blue Sub no.6 and Yukikaze are classics in my eyes... that's why I'm looking forward to watching Baku-ten (hopefully by tonight). Their TV series are more of a mixed bag... I loved Gad Guard and Last Exile, Peacemaker Kurogane was only so-so, and I didn't like Kiddy Grade at all.

edit- Keroro Gunso has me interested also... I saw the preview of it in Newtype and I've been looking for a good comedy since Dokkoida finished. I hope someone will pick this series up to sub.

gah, can't sleep. Be thankful that you don't live in a country with too much mosquitoes.

Anyway, for the curious, some screenshots of RO and Bakuten I stole from 2chan:

I didn't think that was even possible.

Who would have thought basing tv shows on games where the point is to kill the same monster over and over for days would have been a bad idea.

Super contrversy Animation season! Ragnarok in Japan, and Tenjo Tenge in NA. Fun, fun, Fun!

As for Gonzo stuff, I enjoy FMP (Even the serious stuff) though Fumoffu smokes in every possible way. Kiddy Grade and SaiKano I enjoyed. The rest I didn't care for...

And I didn't mind Nadesico's ending. But then it beat out the rather bland and bad ending of the Manga so I may be more forgiving than others...

Now that's just not fair; I mean, what mainstream anime is gonna contain the hardcore pr0n that we crave?..

...case in point, where the combination of dubious official merchandise and a single, salacious shot near the end which likely inspired all of said merchandise satisfied the above need. (Remember what was made about it right here at mmcafe? :) )

My idea of what a real MMORPG-inspired story oughta be like?
Check this out, it's the f'n TRUTH:

Because the derivative works of Ragnarok Online are far better than the original Ragnarok.

Because we're not referring to the hardcore porn that you're thinking of.

I know that the original Ragnarok manga is good. I don't know much about the derivatives. Basing this anime on the manga would've been better IMO cuz of many reasons such as the art, character designs, character personalities and so forth.

I don't see why people have such a huge problem with the ending. If they were talking about the Prince of Darkness movie I would agree, but the TV series end was appropriate for the subject matter.

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
