So after two years I finally went back and rewatched and finished Kekkai Sensen.
The show is so incredibly enjoyable to watch when it's just episodic SoL/fighting stuff, but man the main plot or whatever the hell that was supposed to be really drags it down so much. The setting is amazing and the epsiode plots and tone were all great, and even the plot was interesting on a surface level but as soon as it started to get more focus on the plot it really lost a lot. Same as Kyousougiga, really.
Also tons of side characters barely got screentime, can't believe Chain didn't even get a focus epsiode at all.
Pic related was the best epsiode by far though.
Well, never got to see the discussion since the late epsidoe aired so late, but what was /a/'s final impressions on it?
I liked the twins well enough as characters, so it wasn't really that bad when they got all that focus at the end even if the main story was little weak. I hope s2 is good although the staff change is worrying. Also,

Oh yeah and Chain got like maybe 10 lines in the whole show, what the fuck? It's not fucking fair.

I agree with what you wrote.
I watched 20 episodes and then stopped. Haven't finished it because of some reason...

That episode hit me way harder than it had any right to.
Chopper's VA can work magic sometimes.

any plot that deals with memory loss always gets me teary

Presumably he's counting both seasons together.

The music and environment were pretty good too.
Nice mal review.

Don't you have a template thread to be creating?

14 actually. The recap is a legit episode that has some substance to it's own. Also the ova is pretty fun.

One of the worst shows of 2015 and I'm glad everyone forgot about it. Maybe the second season will fix everything that the first season did now that they have a new director, hopefully.
>but it was shiny and pretty
Phantom World too, and at least that had an actual story and more character development than KS, not saying Phantom World was any good too.

Don't even try to bring this up when 2015 gave us Aldnoah S2, Seraph of the End and literally a dozen magical high school series that begin with a protagonist accidentally touching the main girl's boobs.
Kekkai Sensen was great aside from the 8D chess episode where nothing that was going on made any sense.

>Seraph main complaint is about being a bunch of generic tropes mixed up in a blender and served as such
>you could literally said the exact same thing about KS
Yea, KS was the worst, I haven't seen Aldonah though.
