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?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

I'm hoping there'll be more in the future but I don't know how well it sold/what the status of the LN is.

Thanks Poui. Posts: 28,951 Group: Venus Clan Member #516 Joined: September 3, 2009 True Name: UltaFlame / V. Terennia	I was actually going to talk to you about it after watching the last episode, 'cause I recognised a few frames from Mao's face as being one of your avatars a while back.

Terennia	I'm half tempted to grab the light novels, but I realised that it's more the animation and the facial expressions and sheer absurdity of it all that gives McSatan its draw, so I dunno if I'd be as entertained by a light novel.

As far as I know, they're not translated. Baka-tsuki basically just goes up to the same point the show stopped at.

Okay Jackal. Aldnoah isn't even as close to being as bad as Rail Wars though. It's mostly just mediocre with some really bad parts.

And I agree, the music is absolutely beautiful, the art too. I really like the character designs and their outfits. (I basically started considering cosplaying Yona from episode 2 or 3 =P ) The most jarring thing was the switch between the first and second opening. But I like all the themes actually. I love the second ending the best I think. Yeah, Yona's design is great, especially when she has shorter hair. The first opening fits the series so well, but the second isn't bad either. The first opening is pretty refreshing to hear since it's instrumental as well. and yeah, Akiko Shikata is great so dat second ending theme is the best. Quote: Which is worse, Aldnoah Zero or Psycho-Pass 2? This is mostly at Simple, I guess. Which is ruining Urobuchi's ideas more? 8D Well, one takes Urobuchi's already fleshed out characters, setting and themes, utterly curb-stomps them and adds some new characters and conflict an attempt to make another season. The other one is literally them taking Urobuchi's junked ideas(well, he couldn't invest himself in the characters to want to continue writing I think) and trying to go somewhere with it.

This is mostly at Simple, I guess. Which is ruining Urobuchi's ideas more? 8D If the common thing in shows based on Urobuchi's ideas is Urobuchi and the staff is mostly different and the shows generally aren't good then I think we can come to the conclusion that Urobuchi ruins Urobuchi's ideas.

Also it falls apart even more considering most of the things Urobuchi was heavily involved with tend to be good.

Psycho-Pass is pretty great, but Urobuchi isn't involved in S2. And Aldnoah, as Silvy said, just is some idea that Urobuchi didn't think was worth developing. also >forgetting about fate/zero

Also I only responded the way I did because your post seemed to imply that you were surprised Aldnoah is bad because it had Urobuchi's name attached to it.

Unless he's actually said that somewhere. That said a lot of the bad things in it weren't even his ideas anyway to begin with. Also, he was involved with just the first three episodes. Also F/Z may have been Nasu's world but he literally gave Urobuchi free reign to do whatever he wanted so long as he created no plot holes, and Rider was entirely his creation beyond being Alexander the Great, which Nasu had planned since before F/SN was released. Also Madoka sucks.
