Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

the main character looked ugly.
but that's the entire point
He looked like he didn't even belong in his own world. Like, he was what a cartoon in that world would look like.

The MC of Accel World didn't even fit his anime.

I hope you're watching chronological instead of broadcast order, Slash
Yeah, I am.

Oh man, yeah, I stopped watching Accel World because I couldn't handle how different the MC's art was compared to the rest of the art, it bugged me beyond belief. I kept watching until the tenth episode and then couldn't keep going because of how the art styles clashed. I keep wanting to rewatch/complete the series, but something always makes me pause.

Today I watched Sunday Without God.

That was one impressive anime. Excellent visually, excellent music, good characters, and perhaps it's best point was how interesting the world it self was, and the state it was in.

Unfortunately... I kinda feel like the overall story was missing a real goal, or a conflict to be resolved, and nothing really happened in the end. Something was missing. I mean, the individual story arcs were great, but they didn't really seem to connect in a meaningful enough way for a proper, overall story imo.

So yeah. Great anime in general, but not perfect.

The first few episodes were great.

Then the other several episodes happened.

And THEN that awful ending happened.

Well, the ending story arc seemed fine to me, as a self-contained story arc. But, yeah, it was wholly inadequate as an overall ending, or even a season ending.

No, overall the ending was fine.

At least until the last few seconds happened and they ruined it.

Yeah, I did find that particular part odd I guess.

There were just so many plotholes and unnecessary stuff in the last half of Sunday Without God. Like
Sunday Without God spoilers


But yeah, based on the first six episodes, it would've been a totally amazing anime. But I agree, there was zero resolution at all.

EDIT: Having just briefly looked at Accel World and read a summary, it looks like another example of "ugly guy gets beautiful girl just because" wish fulfillment

Wish fulfillment is a buzz word.

loooool. I have to admit the female lead looks gorgeous though, clearly we can't have that unbalanced attractiveness going on.

Sunday Without God would've been great if it got another season or cut out the whole second half and focused more on the characters of eps 4-6. The very end wasn't even part of the light novels anyways.

That's not- Ok, yeah that's -kinda- it. Especially since the LNs are by the same author as SAO, but I wouldn't say it's strictly "just because".

Boyd she doesn't even look that young. jfc just cause a girl doesn't have knockers the size of basketballs doesn't mean she's pre-pubescent.
