Goodness, I’d learn Japanese just so I can read the light novels/manga of TS. Not that it’s the only thing motivating me to want to learn =P
But yeah, I just suspend my disbelief for the 23 minutes of TS, and enjoy the show. And I’m lovin’ it =]

@biankita: I was first blinded to the flaws of the series when I was first pimped it, and all the bashing made me realize all that. But still, so long as we look past that, it’s one enjoyable heck of a ride

@usagijen: I think this is the primarily the reason why I got more intrigued with the romance and not the conflict. But so much bashing of the anime (not only from other bloggers but from people i have recommended it to) made me really think about the concept of the anime and I’m a total fan (all the doki-doki moments and the background of the story. But of course, my lack of language skills, I can’t go anywhere beyond the anime or what they offer in sites/entries like yours.

And you’re right… Production IG had sacrificed certain storylines in the story and so far, I think everything has been smooth and done well, considering they’re working with 12 episodess only.

@TinyRedLeaf: haha yesh, that’s all that really matters for the anime. I’m both happy and sad that they had to sacrifice the censorship stuff for the love romance angle (more happy~ of course), but thanks to that the anime has been reallyy enjoyable, and we get to see more Iku x Doujou raburabu focus

Knowing I.G, I’m hoping that they will return to the series in the future with a completely anime-original storyline, similar to what they did for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

As it stands, I’m already quite impressed with what they’ve managed to condense in nine episodes. Somewhere along the way, they had to make the crucial decision of whether to focus on the romance or the censorship. More about the censorship would have been nice, but…

…you and I know that we only really care about when Dojo would make Kasahara “MY WAIFU”.

@issa-sa: yep, episode 9 should be covering the third novel now. Sooo fast~

@blissmo: do not underestimate the capability of the mind to visualize and imagine~! They sometimes turn out even better than any anime or picture :p

@Marmosette: Can’t blame them though, because once they decide to keep these censorship stuff they’d have to dedicate a whole lot of episodes to cover them. There’s not just enough episode… Arghh.

See that’s the kind of thing that would be interesting in the anime! People keep saying that this series features a diplomatic kind of warfare but the anime is far too interested in keeping in the mostly pointless gunfights where you see no one actually getting shot and leaving out the smart, interesting points such as those about censorship vs protection of innocence. It’s only the last couple episodes where the conflict has actually become interesting to me.

But the anime pictures will always be better!
