Yeah... but.. they were still "crappy".

I was never one for time paradoxes like this, but I swallowed this pretty well. To me, you either create a new timeline when you alter the past, with your own future remaining unchanged different-paths theory), or that every action that your future self performed by travelling to the past contributed to that very future you're living in now (linear timeline theory).

I was totally into Bunmei's "body overload" effect. (especially the tiny bit that came out when he yelled at Maya).

Same. It's in line with that whole thing about not coming with a complete story and all. It works well enough at times, but when you cut corners so many times, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I can't say this was great, but it was pretty enjoyable overall. I just hope Anime no Chikara gets some feedback and understand that this formula is not the way to prove anime's worth as a medium.
