| fatslob-:O said: I thought the characterization in Trinity Seven was mediocre but since the author took the plot seriously, in just the span of a one cour adaption it immediately became slightly better than High School DxD or tons of other Harem/Ecchi/Action series for me ... |
I would argue that Trinity Seven had no more episodes of actual plot relevance than High School DxD did in its first cour. IIRC, the Asia bit was in the first cour of High School DxD, and that surpassed pretty much everything present in Trinity Seven. Both of them were guilty of veering off into the realm of near pointless amounts of fan service for the sake of making an often stupid joke, though DxD's fan service is far superior. I would give Trinity Seven credit for its plot if it didn't pretty much suck. I mean, just about every conflict was resolved through either a half assed action scene, or a crappy attempt at drama.
I could see Trinity Seven ending up somewhere decent if it continued on, but after the mediocre nature of the first season, I expect absolutely nothing from it in the future.
On a related note, although some people crap on High School DxD season three for rearranging events and such, it turns out the author was actually the one that had things rearranged and changed for the anime. So I guess it wasn't the studio's fault that things got a bit iffy (though it was their fault that animation took a step back). I'm sure this is old news, but it was new to me as I was browsing around the other night.
