Just began watching this, and am up to episode 5 right now. So far really enjoying it, hope it keeps up through the rest of it. Give me anything with graphic violence and you'll win me over it seems. The massacre of the classmates was awesome.

The early episodes were the best. Kinda goes downhill afterwards for me.
Forgot to mention that I finished this last week, in all I really loved this series. It was surprisingly violent as heck, and I loved all of it. Some nice characters, a good enough plot to keep me engaged waiting for the next massacre at it was. The seeming abrupt twists towards the end diminished it a bit, but mostly because of pacing and lack of sequels to keep the story going.
Doubtful that we get more content animated, but I'd be ecstatic if it did. Really really enjoyed this one.
I've never read LNs, but might give the translations a try at some point.
Good luck with the LNs for this one lol.
Peace.
Hard to find or poorly translated? Or just plain shitty content?Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
The writing style is absolutely horrible. The author is famous for it.
His characters are amazing though.

Peace.
I read a lot of Urban Fantasy from shitty authors, so this shouldn't be that much different I'd imagine.
Sample:
Chapter 1 - The Moment When The World Completely Transformed
“I love you ♡.”
A sudden confession.
“......”
However, Ryner Lute was doing his best to ignore that.
“Heey heey Ryneer ♡ I loove you ♡”
He was told again.
“......”
Like before, Ryner said nothing.
A young man who wished he could sleep for ten thousand years, having black hair and equally sleepy-looking black eyes, Ryner Lute.
Just next to the tall and lean figure with a slightly stooped posture clearly lacking in motivation, came the voice again.
“Hey Ryyyneeer ♡”
What a sweet feminine voice.
“......”
Ryner stubbornly continued to ignore that voice.
To be more precise, he hardly had any time to respond to that lovely voice.
The reason was because, from behind them,
“Hey! Stop right there!”
“Fugitives! Don’t think that you guys can escape us so easily!”
“They are criminals anyway! Let's just kill them!”
The shouting came from dozens of pursuing mage soldiers right behind the duo.
One after another, glowing magical symbols were drawn into the air, and without warning, a hole appeared on the ground where Ryner’s foot had stepped just a split second ago.
“Uwah!?”
BAM! Another hole appeared!
“Waaaaaah!?”
BAM! Another!
“Gyaaaaaaaaa!?”
Ryner yelled out while just barely dodging the successive magical attacks.
“That was bad! That was REALLY bad! If I were a tad slower, my right foot would have been gone......”
BAM!
“Owa owa owa! Hey you guys, don’t you think that using such dangerous magical attacks in the middle of the night is troubling the neighbourho......”
BAM!
“Gyaaaaaaaaa damnnn! You guys have better F***ING remember this!!!”
He was yelling and running at the same time.
Running with every ounce of strength he had.
That was how tense the situation was.
And in that kind of situation.
Following just right behind him was a girl who spoke again,
“Heeey heeey listen to this Ryneeer ~ ♡ I would really love to eat dango ice-cream now ♡.”
“......”
But, as before, Ryner just kept on running without paying any attention to that.
“Seriously ♡ just the two of us running on the streets, it somehow feels like a date, don’t you think ♡”
“......”
“Now, now, Ryyyneeer! You should already be looking at me ♡”
“......”
“Hey hey hey, why don’t I tell you about how I really feel ♡”
“............”
“Well, this is actually my secret, you see. I've already reached the point where I can’t live without Ryner ♡ Oh, I’ve gone and said it......!”
At that instant,
“YOU ARE SO ANNOYINGLY NOISYYY ARGHHHHHH!!”
He reached his limit and turned his head around.
Behind that sweet voice, somewhat contradictory, was an emotionless and expressionless face of a beautiful woman, following close behind him.
Peace.
That sucks hard man. I'd never read that shit.
There's no art to his writing at all.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
By the same token, I don't know how much that is shitty writing or simply shitty translation with lack of editing.
I'm betting it's to do with the original author. If it's shitty translation, someone can easily jump on to edit. If it's screwed at the source there's not much for you to do. Shit in -> shit out.
I'm willing to accept that the fragmented, stream-of-consciousness style might work work better in Japanese though. Haikus sound weird in English after all.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It's the author. There is an entire section in Baka-Tsuki explaining how his writing style sucks.
Despite that, I love his work.
Peace.
Well, Baka-Tsuki aren't going to blame themselves for the seeming subpar portion :P
But yeah, I'll take their word for it. We'll see how that goes if anything, as I said, never really been interested in LNs to this point.
It's not really hard to read. You just question yourself WHY you are reading it at some points lol.
Peace.
You suck Munsu, i thought they'd announced a second season when i saw this thread updated.
Well, nothing we didn't know already.
