The technology that allows Ver's upper skull to bend and distort, alas, has never been properly replicated.

I can see the first season at minimum putting broader western audiences off if that's what you mean, and it would be a difficult dub.

Yeah, the first season has a lot of horrible death by dissolving and girls bleeding out of their eyes and Fine's Chris Torture Rack which are all kind of :stare: moments that would put a lot of people off, and you can't really skip S1 or quickly summarize it and have what follows be nearly as good or coherent.

S1 gets pretty grim at times admittedly but I don't think it's anything worse than stuff they've had on Adult Swim.

i dont think its really the gore or violence or dark implications so much as the moderate amounts of fanservice and the fact that the pitch (idol magical girls) makes losers say that the only good magical girl show is madoka and there are no good idol shows.

not to mention s1 is great but its pacing and plotting is all over the place. just the fact that it opens with a flash forward then a flashback is enough to put a ton of people off even if it's fairly simple to follow.

Oh my god. Incredibly over-the-top transformations set to Kreator songs. Costumes contain equal amounts spikes, leather and flamethrowers. The shy schoolboy tells me of the importance of friendship as he rends his enemies chainsawingly asunder, growling Archenemy songs at max volume.

Somewhere in the background, Lemmy-Senpai shotguns a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

Give me Detroit Metal City as an unironic Magical Girl/Boy action nonsense show, please

I can't believe G's training montage is better than the first one, Genjuuro's song is too powerful. He's the perfect dad for Hibiki. :allears:

Also important Chris fact: she eats like a total slob.

Chris's fake heel turn and bomb collar seemed weird and out of nowhere, but upon further reflection Ver does seem like the kind of guy who'd keep a bomb collar in his pocket at all times, you know, just in case.

I can't believe he literally says "last action hero," distinctly, in english.

Miku is the true savior of the world, again.

Genjuuro giving Chris a dvd of Equilibrium should have been part of the montage.

also update on the website with some keywords, but the only interesting thing is Tiki's hobby is reading shoujo manga. So presumably she makes Germain buy shoujo manga for her.

Also apparently Adam and the Alchemists have telepathy and apparently that manifests itself as physical objects. So that phone in Ep 3 that looked like it appeared out of nowhere actually did appear out of nowhere. Neat (if weird) touch.

...Or maybe just an after the fact justification for a continuity error. The world may never know!

Including literally in the show in the form of songs that explicitly, canonically reflect their innermost feelings.

GX: Between reading the OP and now I forgot it literally says "determination to fist," wow.

"This thing's as tough to deal with as you, Yukine." "Then just try to keep riding it, senpai." wow

"Adjusting K2 to Earth's third-highest mountain." These are the lines that make this show truly great.

Hibiki is just so gosh darn happy to live in a world where she gets to punch mountains and suplex space shuttles.

Chris is extremely jealous of all the flirting going on.

I'm glad Tsubasa finally managed to have a concert with no deaths until immediately after it ended.

this would be pretty easy to pitch as an isekai light novel, just have someone get reincarnated in a fantasy world and channel the power of lightning magic to invent an electric guitar

am i describing brutal legend? i dont remember if i am

also it's weird that the mid boss of AXZ is Roy Mustang doing an impersonation of the Father homunclus
