Blazblue - Alter Memory

I have so many thoughts about this, that I will have problems expressing them here.

So the awesome fighting franchise Blazblue from Japan has finally spawned the anime adaptation fans of the game wanted since the first release. An adaptation always seemed natural, because the game tells it's story kind of like a visual novel, and the art/characterdesign was very reminiscent of anime. It also had a wide variety of anime tropes and a story rich enough to fill several seasons.

By now the first 2 eps have aired and I am honestly quite surprised with what is happening :
I was expecting this to be more on a fight of the week basis atleast with the big story fights like Ragna vs Jin, vs Hakumen and vs Nu-13 while showing all the side stuff that is happening and ultimatly completing the story of the first game Calimity Trigger.

Ep 1&2:

I really enjoy the battlethemes thus far since they are remixes of my favorite themes of the games. Big plus for that. They kind of blew the opportunity to surprise people with Hazama, since they revealed he is strange right from the first 2 minutes or something.

Small and Medium Game Spoilers:

I am so hyped for the franchise in general atm, can't wait for the new game and my Continuum Shift extended just arrived. There are some really cool things to the franchise on the interwebs too if you know where to look :

A sprite based parody comic: http://blazen.thecomicseries.com/blog/ (The around 60 old comics are linked on the site)
A shit ton of parodies and shenanigans like this on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNVKku8sSBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLeNBl7_Sts
Modded perfect true ends of the Pc version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F49IILoxQm8

will definately watch an episode or two.

I love the game series and I most certainly agree with your criticisms in the spoilerbox. I would be excited for Chrono Phantasma, but it went PS exclusive and I don't have the money to switch, oh well.
