    Its true, no denying it. But I don't watch most of them, or any for that matter. This one is the only one so far that I didn't have to force myself to finish though. I can't say what I liked about this one, I just did. Its my guilty pleasure of anime this season. Everybody needs one. There's no denying that either.

    I don't think this series has yet even really begun. The main character dude still has got nothing to do with the battle after the first ep. I can't decide whether this is a good series or not before his position is solidified.

    I read the AniDB/ANN discription:

    So when none of that seemed to come up in the first two episodes, I was like "uhh?". But after reading the description you have posted, your's seems a lot more accurate.

    I didn't mind the first few episodes, but they didn't really stand out as extraordinary or anything. So I'll keep watching it.

    Yeah, nothing really exceptional about this series so far, but then, nothing overly terrible either. I'm still curious about how the cat fits into this, and why the cat seems so fixated on getting the kid involved. I don't think we've seen the cat talk to anyone but him yet, but the cat is always in close proximity to Makina.

    oh, I did forget to say that I really liked the Noein-like art that the monster had in the first episode. When he was in human form he looked like Atori from Noein. then also the whole sketchy look the corpse had.

    yeah, definitely gotta wait for the story to flesh out more.

    Makina looks like a second rate hunter; not able to shoot before talking unnecessarily or otherwise hesitating. Not a very good trait for an undead monster hunter. Still, she's better than our innocent boy hero. I hope they both get rid of their foolishness before the end.

    Licensed by Funimation:
    http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ka-acquisition

    What does this mean? Well, I'm pretty sure that Lunar will drop it.

    But, Funimation seems like it'll stream the series... the first episode will come out by them on Oct. 24. So, we might still get our fix in a fairly timely manner from them.

    Wasn't aware that AnimeOne was planning or was doing the series. They surely might not drop it... but funimation has shown in the past that they are fairly quick to send C&D letters. We'll see.

    That's what's bad about an established group I guess. They know where you live.

    It's not official yet, but 99.9% chance that this show will be dropped, due to funi's past.

    Just do it IRC only. But if Funimation will be streaming it, I guess the work wouldn't be worth it. Hopefully someone at the least releases some good encodes of the streams.

    I don't want to watch this in poor youtube quality.
    Hulu makes Opera crash at least 1 time out of 4, and wasn't it restricted to the US only?
    No idea about joost, never heard of that one before, but you need to register.


    But I wonder why Funanimation went and bought the license, stopped most subbing groups from doing it, just to distribute it for free... (Or pay 2$~ on their website (With DRM or without? If without I may actually buy them))

    Well, hulu works for me, so I'm all good... you'll probably see an encode release anyways from some random group. Also, Hulu sells advertisements, so that would be one reason to have it there.
