This was my post in ANN about the anime.
I have been reading comments, reviews and other information about what people think of the anime because I'm thinking that the success of this anime will reflect on the probability of the producers to make the next book into an anime. Most have been positive comments but there is something that people say that bother me a bit.
They say it lets down after the third episode because there is not enough action. I've been worried because it is true that people, especially young/teen boys love to see violence, which is the main target of this show. Some say that the show is slow and there is too much talking. I would say that this show is not much of a show that puts emphasis on fighting. Also, people need to understand that Balsa avoids killing people, making her want to avoid fighting because of her vow to save people and kill no one, (even though she can kill many people if she wanted to. Haha. ).
So bottom-line is this show has more to offer than just some over-powered fighting and women main characters wearing revealing clothes; it has nice music, scenery, dialogue(?) and the plot and character portrayal is very vital.
So if you like an intriguing tale, a little action, some culture and a well made show that is more than just killing and fighting, then it is for you. It's really like a book that turned into anime...oh wait, it is. If you like action and that kind of stuff then my recommendations are playing video games like: Max Payne, Counter Strike: Source (which I've played and are very good.)
I'm just saying, so for all the haters out there, yea...
