I am going to give this one or two more episodes, to see if I will stick with it. The owl was awesome though. As for the second episode I have see a few screens recently that point to their being an actual ghost in the abandoned music room. Anybody else?

This is just a random guess/prediction, but I think this show might take a more serious tone than K-On later on in the show. Just a weird feeling I get. I could be waaaay off the mark here, but I think it might even have a sad ending. There's just something about the first 2 eps that reminds me of something I can't put my finger on.

altough l just might take a peek into this show just for the casuality if there wasn't anything special about it, l already like it.

No, you're right, it already has been much more serious. The tone is about 100,000 times more solemn than K-On.

Especially with some of the history dropped in episode 2.

While I don't think they'd go so far as to have end on a downer, the series has already set itself up to be much more serious. I hope they don't deviate from that. I'm definitely enjoying the art style and the music in the new setting. A lot of people don't like it, but I think it works really well.

This being a post-apocalyptic world of sorts where for some reason or another most of the human population died off a long time ago - although they seemed to have retained some of their technology, see walking tanks.

l agree with that, it was hinted already in the first episode that there was a lot of deaths in the past and there was a great war earlier, there are a lot of ruins already seen in the first episode, and the hinted legend and the underwater escene also shows a bit of that.

l'll definitly follow this show.

I think that whole fire maiden ritual from the first episode may be a little bit of foreshadowing of whats to come, also a dark end may not happen but I am thinking one or two characters may die.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #66 on:** January 14, 2010, 12:04:17 PM »

l doub't they would go like this, l'd say severely injured if thats the case, and the main character would be among them.

but this is only 2 eps, and we already want to say what will be at end ? please, stop it ;]

Monkemon · « **Reply #67 on:** January 15, 2010, 04:15:52 AM »

Not saying that. It is just some speculation.

i think its gonna be more of a slice-of-life-without-any-real-story type of anime.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #69 on:** January 16, 2010, 06:55:36 AM »

not really, there is story telling already, it will be enjoyable nonetheless ;]

Samis · « **Reply #70 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:37:57 PM »

I saw the first episode and really enjoyed the animation. Like many here I definitely have high hopes for this series, but am not sure if I'll follow online or wait for it to be completed and subbed.

I must state that the first episode left a lot to the imagination as far as what type of series So-Ra-No-Wo-To will unfold to be, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Episode 3 is out! Gogogo.

That episode gave me massive chills... it does look like this is going to be a mildly serious series.

Straight rip from Crunchyroll subs I believe....blame those translators that, in a recent interview, apparently have PHd's at CR

My thoughts exactly...

Arveene · « **Reply #76 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:08:46 AM »

In that same interview, it was also mentioned that some of CRs TLs are good.. and others are just bad. He also said how to fix that issue.

Another interesting thing I found because I was curious. Edit: Most of the shows subbed by MX Media for CR show up on there. I noticed a few others that are on CR don't have credits on there. I also noticed a few of those had subtitles with lots of issues.

I haven't watched this on CR yet, but I'll probably do that soon.

I hope they follow his advice. Sometimes fixing problems and business interests don't intertwine. It happens more often then not.

Ok.. so I'm currently watching this on CR and I'm at 17:06. What mistakes are you talking about?

Edit: Just finished.. I didn't see any mistakes. If there are any, they weren't immediately obvious.
