Copy and paste.

I liked this series very much. More focus on story and characters, no moe stuff, no megane, no siscon or meido, no unnecessary humor, no fan service, no giga drill etc. My kinda stuff, I don't expect it to be popular with AS crowd.



Cheers.

>No moe shit

OH U

I for one won't accept this in mind: "No moeshit = Interesting story" because even if it doesn't have moeshit but if the story (and VISUALS, of course, why the hell would I want to disregard visuals when this is an animation for goodness's sake) is also shit then that is also bad. I'd watch any show regardless.

Having that said, this is also in my radar apart from some other titles people might want to call "moeshit" as well.

ouch.

Erm, I think Stormy only says "No moeshit, interesting story" not "No moeshit = Interesting story". It's you got it wrong understanding there.

Realized that I have been using the wrong term, dude. Wasn't what I intended, so it was corrected anyway.

... kantoi silap.

So now, oppai chikubi is moe too eh, Ami kun?

this is interesting. no moeshit.

anything that can turn me on is moe for me...=X

No moeshit is always good. i had enuff with fanservice. Good story lives long.

People have misused the meaning of moe itself.

"Illustrator: Maeshima Shigeki"

kinda familiar with this name

the drawing stroke also familiar

i dunno...
this story and art keep me thinking of le chevalier d'eon

Well... the art for Colio Tonies does resemble Zwei in Phantom requiem.... wait... their voice also sounds the same.

Erm.....no one is watching this series? Just started it yesterday and now marathoning.
This series is fantastic. Interesting story and characters, great fights and touching scenes.

I couldn't get why such genre always got neglected. Because no moe, no loli, no fanservice?

Too busy to watch. But the premise is good.

actually first I saw this anime, I'm kinda attracted to Hamsyut boobs...
watch up till 5 eps, then I noticed the storyline is good...

So you just finished Colio and Shiron arc. I love them. Very beautiful love story. I was so shocked when He is my favourite character until then.

But second arc about Noloty is just as good as the first arc. She becomes my another favourite character.
