Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rui" data-source="post: 500614" data-attributes="member: 2">I love fantasy, history and historical fantasy. However, I don’t love the many identical light novel based fantasy shows about some ordinary nobody falling into a fantasy world (or worse, being in one in the first place but still having no personality deeper than ‘average schoolboy’, the worst of both worlds). I like strong characters and warlords and powerful magicians and female characters who aren’t just there to look pretty and fall over their own feet. Weak characters are fine if they have potential to grow; Grimgar is a good shout for something which managed to achieve that kind of quality.In terms of genre I’m willing to try absolutely anything from sports to mecha, though harem titles played usually straight do nothing for me and if I never see another fetishised little sister character it will be a good thing. The most important thing for me is probably the characters. I was thinking about this the other day when watching Tada Never Falls In Love (hopefully the correct English name). It’s trying hard to be like Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun, but where it falls over for me is that I just don’t care about the characters, whereas with Nozaki-kun I adored every single one of them right from their first appearances. Well, except Waka. He was annoying.But if the characters are decent, I am happy to watch them doing absolutely anything. If they’re spineless or grating then they could be in the coolest high fantasy show ever and I won’t care what they do.On 3D anime, when the characters are organic people the medium generally makes them come across as soulless robots. So I like it best when it’s used for sci-fi, if it must be used at all. But I love Miraculous Ladybug. And going back to anime, Inuyashiki did a great job of matching its style with the premise of the series; the CG in that didn’t bother me at all after the first episode. A pleasant change from Berserk, which was watchable in spite of the CG rather than because of it.R</blockquote>
