Triblade

I was sceptical about this serie before I watched it because of the comments.

A few days ago I thought of watching it and man, am I glad I did!

It's very, very good. The story about a hero sinking lower then thought possible because of backstabbing that makes your blood boil. Then he goes on and keeps getting good adventures and gets stronger which makes me laugh out loud occasionally. Then he's trapped again and sinkes even lower. After a while he gets thus good because of his hard work other 'hero's' can't keep up and I find myself cheering each time he does it. Once I found a guy deserving a much slower death because of his evilness to people.... Ah well.

This serie gets under your skin, make you hate people in it and love others. Then the ending keeps you wanting for more! Oh man.

The animation is good. Just the CGI is annoying, especially the larger monsters. I really hate the look of them, so lifeless. It's the bosses which are the important part of the adventures. As well as 'the Cathedral' (ep19/20 I think?) that just looks so fake. Then again a lot of the series uses 'real' handrawn animation we know and love in the scenery, main and secondary characters and battles and the spells therein.

The best part is the music. More then once I found myself enjoying the music in battle, riding the fields or just when he buys stuff. Very atmospheric and pleasant to listen to.

The one real downside in my humble opinion is the (few?) moments of harem-like play by the girls in his party and the few 'booby-shots'. I really don't like objectification of women in great anime. That said, it just happens a very few times and not very exaggerated as well I think.

The one thing that could've made it even better is that baddass sound effect that the Fate series use. Those are just wicked sick. :)
