I’d guess maybe there was too much K-ON comparison talk, and people were disappointed when it turned out to be a different kind of show.

Hmm, yes that would make sense. I wonder if that large bird skeleton we saw in the first ep was actually mechanical parts then.

I've also been surprised by its low score on MAL. Also, the forums are hardly full of praise either. What's going on? .-= Scamp´s last blog ..Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu episode 5 =-.

I’m on the Noel boat as well. Which was surprising, as she’s not usually the type I like…

I'm with you on the chances of it taking a more serious turn. I would be seriously surprised if there wasn't a serious part of the story eventually where things get dangerous and the garrison and their Takemikazuchi is the only thing able to stop whatever comes. The legend that was celebrated at the festival probably ties to this, and in my mind the thing that attacks will be some automated weapon from the old era similar to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. I've been getting a very Nausicaa, or even a much less dark Xenogears vibe from this show. .-= ExecutiveOtaku´s last blog ..Macross Zero episode 05 – Tori no Hito =-.

I hadn’t thought about the lack of chibis adding to the serious tone. Nice call.

So far I’m really liking this anime as well, and good job noting the fact that they haven’t used any chibis at all so far (I didn’t realize that myself).
