Easiest way to describe Sora no Woto is 'think K-on, only in the military rather than in a school', because that's pretty much how it breaks down. I think it's worth watching just for the bugle rendition of Amazing Grace (which has a permanent home on my Ipod) and the bad-ass spider tank with a laser cannon, but it's not amazing by any means and the ending does somewhat stretch credulity.

wow you guys can really turn this into a dirty place to talk about anime. It's suppose to be a place of common interest among anime lovers. I got no response to my post about claymore and the manga, amid all the flaming about mainstream/not mainstream anime...

wow get over yourselves lol, what anime someone likes is their opinion. Way to ruin a good thread with flame/spam guys.

To be honest lbody, could be worse. At least here you manage to avoid a measure of the highbrow tea-drinker elitism that permeates some anime forums and just get the straight up opinionated counter-play.

I had actually meant to reply to you, but I completely forgot about it, didn't really feel like carrying two conversations at once. Not sure what you mean by 'underfunded', it's been a while since I saw it but everything looked quite well and in order by my recollection, which is fairly high scoring considering I watched a 480p borrowed-from-a-mate DVD (a struggle in this glorious age of 720p/1080p and soon to be four thousand and something p, as though anyone has a TV that large...). Unless your just outright meaning the lack of continuance, in which case that would have less to do with the funding and more to do with post-release sales and/or studio bureaucracies.

Never read the manga (never been a fan of fighting manga, cant get the feel of it in my head right when its montaged like that) , so I cant say how the ending from the anime meshes with established canon, but I always got the impression that the set-up for a second season was already there. Cant recall exactly WHY per se, I just remember it feeling different from normal open endings.



Also, question for everyone. I was thinking about recent events on this thread at work today and considering the standards by which I used to measure anime versus the standards I would apply now days, and I realized that only my standard for anime has really changed, where as with films I still tend to measure them by how many things explode foremost and other things are secondary. So, enough prelude, the questions is: Do you find that your taste and/or standards in anime are reflective of, counter to or independent of your taste and standards for other media?

Appreciate the responses!

Jesse - I didn't mean to be vague about the under funded comment, but I thought it was obvious. Maybe it's just me then! In my opinion at least, the animation looks more like manga art, apart from fight sequences. Don't get me wrong, I love claymore, and that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Add that to the fact they won't continue the anime despite the manga being continued and amazing! :(

think my standards for anime are alot higher then other media (obviously if im watching some ecchi show I know what to expect). but saying that ive probably seen 4x as much anime as I have movies/tv series and I know what truly great anime can do. Perhaps if I had seen as many movies as I had anime series I would Judge them more harshly.

p.s Did my last comment come across as sarcastic? It wasn't supposed to be also are we all friends again now? The power of friendship!
