| fatslob-:O said: What makes alot of the action animes interesting in the first place are supernatural powers like magic so I'm not convinced you can come to sweeping generalizations from that facet or with the school setting either ... Oh and what you described was from Asterisk War specifically because it was that heroine who insisted on the mock battle to humiliate the protagonist for peeping on her ... Actually, I can't see any potential for Chivalry to become harem going by other sources but it may have a skewed male to female ratio so I highly doubt they'll be comparable towards the end when we start delving into each of their story and events ... I'm not saying that Chivalry will suck and that Asterisk will succeed but that there are differences between them ... |
I simply used the term violence, which applies to both. Although in Calvary, the actual battle was ultimately over the room, there was still the point in the office when fiery tsundere was ready to rip the male MC limb from limb as she erupted in fiery fury. In the end, both fiery tsunderes did turn to violence over peeking, and both pairs did battle even if the reasons for the battle differed ever so slightly (you are a pervert vs I think you'll do perverted things). I appreciate that you're trying to divorce the two, but hell, I even got slightly confused when I was typing that other post and had to make sure I was putting the right title in the right place, and that I was remembering events from one show and not the other.
In the end, I just don't expect them to diverge much, as most shows like this ultimately aren't that different. They'll try to toss in their own convention which may be good or eh. None of this means either show will necessarily be bad though. I enjoyed World Break a couple seasons back despite the fact that it was a pretty standard OP MC, harem, super power school set up. I enjoyed Absolute Duo even though it had a painfully predictable plotline as it followed an ultimately OP MC at a super power school. I've enjoyed more shows than I can count that follow the same tropes with a similar story. It ultimately comes down to how characters are developed, and in shows like this, how well choreographed and animated fights are.
Calvary and Asterisk may both be decent, and they may both be ass. Neither has done enough to really divorce itself from the other at this point though.
