[quote name='Razzuel']Too bad you are wrong about Utawarerumono, Kirin.
I loved Utawarerumono. I watched the anime first and really enjoyed it. Not too long after finishing the anime I found out that it was based off of a visual novel. I ended up getting the Utawarerumono visual novel and completing it. The story in Utawarerumono was good enough for me to experience it twice in a row; I had the same enjoyment that I got from the anime as I did from the visual novel. Maybe it's not for you, but if I am able to enjoy something twice in a row without my enjoyment degrading, then I consider that to be an amazing achievement.[/QUOTE]
Again, we already know that you like everything, regardless of whether if it's complete ass or not.
Utawarerumono was definitely one of the worst things I watched in '06. It started out with a semi-interesting concept about a man in a mask who had lost his memory, but most of the "plot" soon played second fiddle to the introduction of a new female character every couple of episodes. Of course, these women would fall in love with the main character instantly, had cookie-cutter personalities (as did the rest of the cast), and turned into vulnerable, helpless, retarded mush on a regular basis, for no good reason. Near the end, they pulled some sort of sci-fi angle out of thin air, which never really served a purpose or explained anything. It began as a generic period piece with harem elements, and ended as a chaotic mish-mash of nonsensical ideas and terrible characters, where nothing followed any sort of logical progression anymore. Train wreck. Awful.
