I tried. I really did. The second episode failed to excite me, so I was at least going to give it the service of finishing the episode. But it so utterly failed to fundamentally engage me or even get me interested that I just paused halfway, skimmed the rest, and deleted the series.
Yes, some of the characters were interesting during the second episode. Okarin wasn't as much of a paranoid psychotic asshole as I thought he was (actually pretty nice overall). However, the delivery and presentation of this series is just completely disappointing. I like this kind of material, but this series sadly just isn't very good.
It simply doesn't live up to the hype it was getting from blogs, forums, and other sites.
I respectfully disagree, because I too like those things, and this series is doing rather poorly at the first two (can't speak to the third). I would certainly hesitate to recommend this to anyone.Originally Posted by shinta
