They can't even make Ako a functional healer. :rimshot:

I had a few problems with the show that kept me from watching more, but "man, those designs sure are bland" wasn't one of them.

Maybe not "bland," but there's just a certain intangible something about them, especially the women, that really turns me off.

Outside of their fantasy costumes, the hair is very generic, the clothes are generic, and the lips seem drawn really weird in close ups.
It feels like a budget anime.

The worst part about Netoge characters is that the school's boy uniform has plaid pants. I mean what up with that?

Nah. You can actually tell when studios bother with things like animation frames, character art complexity, and backgrounds.

Nothing will ever be as bland looking as the Golden Time anime, for the first couple of minutes I kept wondering why they were focusing on the background characters talking.

I just realized that I've been listening to Sleater-Kinney and Turbonegro (basically heard them on the same day I moved to a new town for my last year of middle school) for close to 18 years now. Life goes by so goddamn quick, goons.
