I'll just leave this here
GG - Tales of the Abyss 02
sry but for me it sounds like you would complain about that the boy gets the girl in a romance-animereally, this second episode was so mainstream it really leaves a bad taste.
Isn't doing quests and getting a bigger party sooner or later what RPG and RPG-animes are all about?
and isn't that exactly what you expect and *want* to see while watching an anime like this one?
It's not really uninteresting as you say, I believe that you just don't like the whole genre ^^
I guess you have to like this kind of thing and it's not impossible to overlook that you've heard a similiar story before... let's take final fantasy for example, the basic is always the same... you start alone or with 2.. then 3 and you will probably end with 6 party-members or more, defeat a few bad guys and so on, yet they made ~13 "episodes" with always the same stuff![]()
