Hit and miss, you mean. Amane has some odd delivery. Azreal; ouch. It sounds like the actor isn't even trying half the time. As for Bullet; she was in the same video as Amane and Azreal. Sounds like the cliched "Female anime executive that taunts everyone." The voice or delivery doesn't seem to match up well.

Ugh, those voices for the three new characters are bad.

More or less, except... If we leave, this thread will only consist of the few who LIKE the show. Can we let that happen?! Can we let a poor, innocent, soul that browses this get the impression that the show is good?!

Oh god, so many OC characters and pointless and awkward retconns. Why?!

This is the guy in a cape and attacks using dramatic poses inspired by opera terms. It's for show.

No, I can't because it's terrible. Telling people to knock one back and enjoy it is a terrible argument; it can be applied to just about anything.

It made her nod off last time in the game...which made more sense given how the game presented everything.

I could have been done so well though. If they stuck with CT, they could have used it for character establishment and development, which would have been great.

Because not everyone is so hopelessly attracted to breasts that any sort of facsimile excites and amuses them?

It seems Noel has finally realized that someone is looking at her like that and is ticked off.

Christmas?

Where did you even get that horrible thing?

Well, if Noel died, then wouldn't the power of the "Eye" have fallen to Takamaragara?

Could just be English for Altar Memory. It would fit due to it revolving around CS, which revolved around the Altar Stage. Also, Ragna doesn't swear nearly as much. I prefer game Ragna more than Anime Ragna.

Wow, I think this was even worse. And the retconns! Apparently Noel may not even recognize Bolverk now. Besides that, the ending was done so...wrongly. It got the feel completely wrong. Granted, that was probably more due to the lack of appropriate build up, but Noel was supper out-of-character compared to the game.

Is it a Japanese copy?

Which is what I was trying to say, but with more words. I'd have loved to see the Carl vs. Nu-13 battle.

I'd want a Valkryie Profile Izayoi.

Personally, I think it should've been "Opening," "Ragna's story over two or so episodes," then various other characters or character groups. There doesn't need to be a time loop and episode per character. For instance, Carl does not require an entire loop or episode to himself, nor do Tao or Bang really. Litchi can share with Tager, and so on. I think CT could be comfortably covered with good character establishment if they weren't so gun-ho about shoving in as much plot info as possible into the first episode.

Let me restate that: He wasn't running around screaming he was going to kill everyone and was the BIG BAD until the finale of CT. He was obviously bad news when he was introduced, but you didn't really know too much about what he was doing. Then after the true end you find out that he's more than a government lacky, he's the guy who maimed Ragna, puts Rachel's panties in a twist, and is laughing insane. Alter Memory starts off with that from the beginning, no build up.

Then finger this! The flow of a show has to be set so that a viewer can follow a thread. As the thread moves, the viewer can pick up interesting bits of information and piece together like a puzzle, explaining the show. Meanwhile, they are kept entertained by the threads which move and thicken as time goes on. The problem is, is that this show doesn't do it right at all. The thread is very poor: No one character is followed, the multiple characters are story-telling wise separate, and and no time is spent with the characters to make us like them. Instead, we get a collection of scenes about unknown people doing unknown things in a melodramatic fashion. Why do we care what these people are doing? Why is it dramatic? No one knows, and we aren't given a reason. The dialogue is boring and the scenes non-entertaining. Where's the thread? Is the thread the overall plot, the story taking place in Kagutsuchi? Perhaps, but the heavy, yet poorly done, character focus de-emphises that while Rachel and Hazama throw their nails into the coffin by spoiling everything. Everything is thrown on the table with little rhyme or reason. The characters are unknown, so far unlikeable, and random. The plot is incoherent and constantly ruined by comments from the observer gallery. There is no strong, likeable thread to follow. Without that thread, there is no enjoyment out of collection information. All in all, there's no reason to like the show because there is nothing in the show to like.

Modern or old? Hm.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The 1st episode was less cohesive than the games; The opening and Ragna's story in CT made a lot more sense. How ripping different scenes from different stories makes coherency, I do not know. Plus, plot holes created by nonsensical retcons. For instance, why were Noel's orders changed to "do not engage Ragna The Bloodedge?" It was unnecessary and made for an awkward cut scene between Hazama and Noel. I suppose they were going for "Noel has a connection to Ragna!" Except, they're pounding that a bit too hard now, and they're ruining the mild twists CT had.

says Oh lord, they actually said it. I thought you were joking. They should've known not to tempt fate. Seriously, this is bad. They just took random scenes from the story routes, made up a few other ones, and strung them together. There's no thematic pacing at all; Reveling time loops from the start, the poor dream sequences..argh! Too many problems to count. There's no build up or proper presentation of anything! Who's the one that said the studio for this show makes bad shows? They were horribly, horribly, right.

I wonder how many GG arcade cabinets are in the US. How many are outside of California?
