I was up to ep3 or 4(can't remember exactly) before, and still confused by the time line between eps.
I know it is very hard to get a "violent" anime to replace Black Lagoon, but personally, I just do not feel like this show that has endless random people murdering and boring fight but pointless story. On the other hand, killing monsters to protect the world is not a fresh topic anyways.

And if I know Ryan, if it gets dumped then the replacement is likely to be Soukou no Strain, from pure bodycount alone.

More of a strain on the eyes. The animation was exceddingly bad.
Have to say I blutig loved Death Note and Code Geass though, so I whole heartedly approve of anything with high body counts as long as it has other good qualities. *Self-confessed Elfien Lied junkie*.
Phoenix wrote:I must say that I like shows with high body counts too. But the point is the difference between a good people murdering anime and a bad one.
In this case, both of Soukou no Strain and Tokyo Majin are full of massacre.
Tokyo Majin is just killing random walk-ons meaninglessly, just a very common way to make audiences feel like it is the end of the world, full stop, nothing else. However, Soukou no Strain is different. It is killing actual important characters who were familiar to audiences. I did feel sad when those people died, but who care about those very minor roles' death in Tokyo Majin, anyways?
well, people gave their life as a sacrifice for love and country or people died because they got attact by monsters. Which story is better to watch, isn't that clear?

I find the shows where innocent people die more realistic as death isn't convenient enough in reality to always target people with some significance to a plot line. I find it really irritating when there has been so much work put into creating a story behind a character and then it is cut short because the people in charge need a character to die and said character just happens to be the most convenient.

I had never been a fan of action shows, but at least I had seen Black Lagoon in AJAS and enjoyed it (if you do think Black Lagoon is an action show...)
Then so what? The thing that keep people enjoy an anime shouldn't be good story plot rather than good action visual work?

1) Elfen Lied has minderjährigen mädchen
and
2) The character designs of Code Geass are by CLAMP
Which just goes to show how inadequately researched and weighted by spuriously unimportant rhetoric his argument is.
Mappy wrote:That's overstating the Elfen Lied anime, I think. Most of its following derived from the fact that cute girls were walking around, killing people in an entirely casual manner, with hints of multiple personality disorders, genocidal intent and nihilistic misanthropy thrown in.
Apart from that there were quite large deficits when it came to the characters and plot. The most obvious being that everyone had the memories of fish and that there was an apparent disconnection by the world with the world in general. "Oh dear, a pink-haired girl with horns has ripped the heads off my children. I wonder what's on tv tonight."

But that's essentially all Hirugashi is too except the girls are even younger and there's a reset timer every few episodes. I find that series overstated myself.
