What does it tell about the book and its writers, if the main character only gets developed in the very last page of the book?

MC character development and relatability SHOULD be priority. it was not. I do not have any faith in this writing staff of somehow "saving" him from his gary stu-ness now.

Akutsuki may be OP compared to the rest of them harem male leads you get in other anime, but considering he has showed no character apart from being the guy who solves everything by fondling women's breast and mowing his adversaries like they were yesterdays news without breaking a sweat is kind of bland and poor direction/writing in the authors part.


^THISSSS SO MUCH

Why should anyone care about this MC? Why should anyone worry about MC?

If someone else is fighting someone - MC will come and rescue them because OBVIOUSLY that someone is incapable of winning by themselves.
IF MC is fighting - he will win.
If something bad happens to MC - he will pull out a new bullshit technique that negates the bad effects and makes him even more perfect and flawless.

There's no real doubt or build up about anything MC does here because he has no reasoning to back up his actions, no personality to make his actions understandable and no flaws to make us fear of him failing at what he does.

How is that any more interesting than a typical harem lead? At least with typical harem leads, SOMETIMES you actually get a script writer who GETS IT and develops the lead through the events into someone interesting, relatable and badass.

All female "characters" in this anime are submissive fanservice objects that can't do anything by themselves and have to rely on one and only main character to fondleguide them in their roles of support.

Dont worry different san , i m sure there will be season 2 and even 3 or more. U see because the 2nd half of the last episode was made with the view of 2nd season ,
My guess is season 2 will be completely focused on events in that other world - Alazzard , maybe they will keep it to 12 episodes or so [i feel it highly likely ] and season 3 will be on the events that occur when he returns again with his world, involving with that shadow group who is keeping watch on akatsuki . [Well i may be wrong in some things as i have not read the novel or manga but i have got this intuition that things may go this way ] So basically it will be just a wait of time until season 2 arrives :D


heres hoping for a season 2

Keep enjoying your pussy bitch normal Harem MCs then. If anything, most grown ass men I know LOVED a MC like Akatsuki, who actually has a backbone and just don't give a fuck.


damn true :) there's plenty of these wimpy MCs who cant handle anything at all. about time you get to see some people who truly go at their own pace.

I agree about the overpowered part however...HE WAS MEANT TO BE THAT WAY! Obviously. Its i an attempt to move a way from all the pathetic main characters who have to be supported by an entire harem of super powered girls you know like (Sekirei, And to luv RU). Im not against female leads. In fact I like both of those shows. BUT...I AM SO SICK OF THE MAN GUY HAVING TO BE SO PATHETICALLY WEAK AND CLUELESS! I say we get more badasses like Alucard back into the anime. He was OP as well. Never really had a challenge until THE LAST chapters of the whole series.Yet he is one of the most wickedly cool main characters for me. So if you like the weak guy leads its cool. But some of us actually like to see a guy with some cahones every once in a while.

I liked this show, finally we got bad ass main character who knows what he's doing. And i personally hope for second season.

I'd say that even plot wasn't bad despite of what some ppl say. if creators manage to bring us second or even 3rd season it will make pretty good combo all to together with 1st season as "getting know characters and hinting some things", 2nd season about "resolving troubles in alternative world" and 3rd season dealing with that "power hungry organization of shady characters".
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list )

You get to replace the director of this series 'coz your half page essay was more exciting than the 20+ minute episode that I sat through of that final episode...and well done Sherlock Holmes, after sleuthing through my profile you found out I was trolling...



*sigh*

too bad i'm not here to entertain you. it's more like getting my point across. but it's alright, some people never learn. have fun having half assing arguments with all the low-intelligence beings of MAL.

also, it's great to change the topic once you know your argument has no basis, or anything to stand on. does that also feel good? entertains you? well, doesn't matter. dumb mentality will be dumb mentality.

it has nothing to do with overpoweredness.

Alucard was a great character because he was a character. Overpowered part was just a plus.

Akatsuki has no personality nor character.There's just the overpowered part and that makes him dull as hell.

Akatsuki was out of the norm, that is why he's popular. The perfection made perfect sense because of WHY he was perfect. There was no struggle because he's already done that. He's already had his downs, already has done the level up. He BEAT the boss, he's beaten the game and returned. He IS one of the super leveled advanced players in RPGS who have max their stats.

I've been watching bitchmade leads for the past 10 years with only a few exceptions, so his Gary Stu was a PERFECT cleanse of the past years.

And for christ sakes, Its just a fictional piece of work, no need to get bent out of shape about how fictional female characters are being treated. IF that was the case, rape themed porn would never exist, its just a fetish out of all the many fetishes in the world. And by the way, WOMEN have ruled the anime world for years now, it always has and always WILL be a female dominant niche, so I have NO problem with a guy actually doing all the badass work for once in this genre.

I never understand how people want to complain and complain, yet kept watching it all the way through. You've done nothing but waste your time, and built up negative towards the series. Its not even that serious, just move on to something more for you.

I personally think that Akatsuki changed some of his personality and i would give one example for people out who think that he did not develop throughout the 12 episode.

1: At the beginning, he was more of a solo person instead of being in a team and he is now in a team and working with them to protect Alazzard

I feel that this 12 episode is more on the development of myuu instead of Akatsuki as Akatsuki is the 'protector' of myuu so he is needed to be perfect whereas myuu is still growing and she is the main point of development, i think the authors decided to develop myuu who is imperfect instead of Akatsuki which is alrready perfect and truth be told, what can be done to develop a perfect character?

With that said, i hope that everyone here enjoys Anime and not qurrel among each other but discussion is definitely welcome :D

All good, except that...they did not develop her and she is amongst the most bland, useless and least developed lead females this years.

errr...you tell me I insult ppl like TenRyuu for having an opinion yet your happy to state that all of MAL have low intelligence, yeh ok buddy. The reason why I didn't need to argue your point was to prove that you were trolled as a fantard. Doesn't matter if you were right or wrong, you're a fantard, and with fantards there's their way or the highway when it comes to their favorite series(which I'm guessing Hagure is yours). So yes, thank you for taking the bait, it did entertain me for a few minutes. By the way, since when did I ever mentioned that I rejected anyone's opinion in here? Everyone's free to like what they like, just be prepared to receive criticism when they're in a discussion such as in this thread.

As a matter of fact I happened to like this series at the beginning but as I mentioned in my first post(and pretty sure everyone else has said this) (Yes)Akatsuki is BOSS and is the main reason why most have stayed to watch Hagure, but you take him away from the show and what do you have? Don't need me to answer that one. If a show can only stand on its own due to one underdeveloped character, then that's just like saying I gave Tengen Toppa a 10 just because Kamina is awesome and so GAR, or I gave Code Geass a 10 because Lelou has special powers. See where I'm getting at? This series showed a lot of promise at episode 1 and pretty much left its viewers there, everything else was boring school life with Akatsuki opening pandora's box in each and every episode and answering it with a boob grab whilst spouting off some cheesy words of wisdom. And we're suppose to think this is great, why? Yep, sign me up for season 2. On behalf of the female population all I can say is well done, yet another ALPHA male for teens and kids to feel proud of.

So how does your own criticism applies to this art evolution of yours? All i see is a bunch of hate towards character traits..saying how he is "to PERFECT" and a "misogyny"...Perhaps the producers made the characters the way they are because the LN sold quite nicely for this series? and thats what the ppl wanted?...i honestly have no idea if thats true since i just read that in some forums on MAL...but it seems like it has sold enough...You know I've seen some hate towards this anime but you sir..your different...you express more criticism in this anime then anyone...and it caught my attention...their should be a amount of criticism towards something..either way to much would consider just hating...if you dont like it then you shoulda just dropped it...no one wants to see people express so much hate..or in your terms "criticisms"

I don't know about a near perfect male lead character, but he was a nice change. Would hate to have to watch shows with him as a main character alot, he's too perfect, no developement.

A second season would be nice, they really didn't give us a lot of story, just action and fanservice.

Because most of what you wrote fits SAO more, where, you know, characters actually had flaws and character development and nothing you wrote was evident in this anime?

if by near-perfect you mean a mary sue/gary stu, then yes.

But that does not make him an interesting or bearable character, nor is an upside.

By this logic twilight is also the most awesome thing ever just because it sold so much. As well as bayformers... yep...quality content right there, look how many sales they got.

And I am sorry, but anyone who WANTS misogynistic plotlines and characters and enjoys them for anything else than watching them get defeated and killed does not deserve to coexist with the current sensible parts of society. misogyny is something that HAS to be viewed as something despicable, because IT IS.

Well, onto my opinion. I don't dislike the main heroine, but I don't love her either =3= but other than that, I liked how it went X) a badass MC, who uses "chi" for both offense, defense and support X) Kinda felt like I was watching Kaze no Stigma again(altho I think KnS is much better XD) Kazuma and Akatsuki were somewhat similar lol. It also somewhat gives me the feel of Densetsu no Yuusha no Denstsu too, the fact that both Ryner and Akatsuki were lazy asses, BUT could protect at the right moments. It also has the Zero no Tsukaima feel to it X) Thus, season 2, hurry up and come!!! XD (or at least start at Januray of next year, lots of awsum animes coming up X) )

Let's just not do the compare-game, shall we? Everything that has ever been created has been inspired by something or copied something and Aesthetica is as derivative as it gets, so it can be pretty much compared to 99% of anime series that ever came out.

Also Kazuma and Akatsuki being similar? lolno, sorry, but really, can't see anything remotely similar between them.

Liking and disliking IS subjective, lack of coherent narrative in the writing of main character's character is not subjective. Male lead lacked the very basic things that lead character has to have.

Did you just say make a new thread for people who enjoyed it?

How do you plan on monitoring that, a password of "I love Akatsuki", this is a thread it is free and people do have opinions different than yours.

The thing is this anime has nothing different than any other anime besides a strong main character(that can be found in many shows) and nipples.

Honestly, I really loved this show and thought it was a great watch. Granted Myu did not bring too much to the story but I believe she could bring more in a season 2 and I did enjoy her.

But the plot that episode 12 sets up just seems...huge! Does anyone else get that feeling as well??? Like the plot could go many different ways and I believe it could be turned into something really really good. Am I the only one that feels that way??

They don't need to. Something is bound to turn out pop out of a S2 of it. Maken-Ki and other animes despite getting low sales still manage a S2.
Where did it say there is a S2 of Maken-ki? I only know there is new anime being done but that could well be OVA or anime bundled with manga. The calculation would be different for such project. As far as the BD/DVD sales is concerned, I would say there is not much of a chance that Maken-ki gets S2.

As for Hagure, the sales of the BD/DVD is not encouraging either - Maken-ki level. But if its boost to LN sales is deemed good enough, S2 or OVA is always possible.
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.

Honestly, I really loved this show and thought it was a great watch. Granted Myu did not bring too much to the story but I believe she could bring more in a season 2 and I did enjoy her.

But the plot that episode 12 sets up just seems...huge! Does anyone else get that feeling as well??? Like the plot could go many different ways and I believe it could be turned into something really really good. Am I the only one that feels that way??


I agree completely and I do hope they come out with a season 2.

I can't wait!

Unfortunately I see a lot of others who don't like it.. probably for lots of different reasons..a new anime which is in the 1000 + rank isn't a good sign and means there most likely wont be a season 2..

Why did I enjoy it? Well because I enjoy looking at the imagination of authors and see how far it can take me into a totally new world I have never seen before. Character development was also good, art was fine, and music was catchy.

I guess other people are looking for something to be more like the next code geass?

For those who think this anime is predictable write a simple yet solid description that what happens next. Not that he will win in the end, but who the enemies are and how he will beat them.


About the 1000+ ranking,
you don't have a clue do you!!!!
MAL is usually for foreigners outside of japan!
it gives information about anime who loves anime's!
About 90% anime lovers are foreigners!
but they are just free viewers that isn't worth a yen.
So my point is, the only reason for having a sequel depends on the rest of the 10%'s buy's!
so Even if we do a monkey dance naked it doesn't worth a penny!
now about the 1000+ thingi
look at queens blade!already got a s2 and processing for a s3!
you should at least watch 1 episode to figure out what the crap that is!
but it doesn't matter cause the Japanese sales are good for that!

I watched this series recently, while the story is obviously less than average, the ecchi elements of the show were fantastic.

If there is a second season, I would love to see the green haired girl (Haruko/Haruka?) get more screen time with Akatsuki. (Took me forever to get over that word being used as a name for a guy after watching Naruto for 10 years)

I find this anime to be a breath of fresh air. While most anime seem to be about the journey and accomplishments of the MC and team gaining more power/recovering some lost power or memory, this anime presents us with a badass MC who already went through that and got back home. Personally, I have always wanted to know what happens to the MC after he makes his accomplishments. How do you go on living with that power, knowledge and skill, and this anime gives me that answer.

I would really like a season 2. While others didn't like how the main was OP as balls from the start and stayed that way, I found it a refreshing twist from the standard "journey to strength" style protagonist, not that there is anything inherently wrong with it, just overused. That was part of the reason I liked the main of Chrome Shelled Regios as well, he was a boss, he knew it, and he stayed more op than everyone, which made sense because logically nobody should be able to close an ability gap like that in mere months. I also found the fact that Akatsuki made a game of stealing womens undergarments so fast they didn't even notice him doing it(seriously how the fuck did he manage to take a bra off without anyone seeing him) a game. Aside from the main though, I do agree with people that the lead heroine was... not to my liking. All in all i found the show a refreshing twist on the genre, although I didn't like how obvious it was that they were stopping just before the plot was to get underway. That was like if say, Bleach had stopped after Rukia got kidnapped and never gone into the Soul Society Arc.

I admit this anime has a lot of fan service, but the fact remains that this is a fresh new approach to story telling that anime needs.

You can say what ever you want about the mass amount of fan service, but this show is pioneering. Also the fights were perfect in length, lets not even get into how drawn out the fights are in main stream action anime like Naruto, Bleach, and one piece.

The fact of the matter is this is an amazing action series and is one of a kind. If you are not into action anime you will problem not enjoy this series. Just because it is not your cup of tea doesn't make it bad.

This show deserves a second season, it is an original approach to story telling that can offer a lot to the anime industry. The fact is the story was not bad at all, yes the main male protagonist is already a fully developed character. Instead of focusing on the main characters development it focuses on how he influences the development of others.

Yes is anime like Naruto, the main character is developing while effecting others, but the fact is the other characters development is placed on the sidelines for the develop of the main character. In this series the side characters development becomes a focus.

The only reason to not give it a second season is because people are not comfortable with a new experience.

I am basically saying most of you who say this series is bad are stupid and have a shallow sense of taste. IT IS OKAY TO SAY YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING BECAUSE IT IS NOT YOUR THING, IT IS IGNORANT TO SAY SOMETHING IS BAD BECAUSE IT SI NOT YOUR THING.

This is my first post, mainly because I was appalled at the ignorant comments on the first page. Usually this community is very good at making accurate and intellectual statements but I guess that's not always the case huh?

This is so true.

The MC had off the charts level of swag. I really don't see why you wouldn't appreciate that unless you're a girl. I mean, the most manly weapon ever is your bare fists, followed by a giant sword. He has both. And he's powerful. And he's the chosen one. And he's good with the ladies. And why don't you like him? He's too perfect? That's a lame excuse.

On a side note, no comment on how deep the plot was. Hopefully that'll get better. I support second chances!

But if this show doesn't get a season 2, I'll probably read the manga.

This show was pretty boring to me.When I finished it, all I thought about it was "meh". I don't care if it gets a season 2, but I'd probably watch it for the hell of it.

I'm confused, what exactly did this anime do that's new? I didn't see anything, just an average ecchi/action show with an overpowered main, stripping every episode, ok but few fights, and no ending.

Actually been a member longer then you have, so yeah your actually the stupid one. Good try though.

Find another anime that starts off after the hero's jouncy has ended, then you can come back and talk about how it has done nothing new.... Anyways I am done with this discussion.

Its because of ass clowns like you that I lurk on this forum.

Fucking dumb ass with no life, done wasting time with you.

It's a saying, and you must not come here often(see another saying) if you think that MAL is full of accurate and intelligent statements.

So that's the only thing that makes it new and original? Just part of the setting makes it(in your words) fresh, pioneering, and original. And here is one from this season with a similar setting Maoyuu Maou Yuusha.

Thank you for the compliment, and from looking at your first post I hope you don't post anymore.

Regardless of what they say I'd bet that 90% of people would watch a second season if they made one.
