Blade Dance didn't deserve this.

Claire a ____.

1. It was not the first of its kind, Infinite Stratos is.
2. It had nobody voice actresses.

Annoying runt

Claire is pure crap

>1. It was not the first of its kind, Infinite Stratos is.

The hell did IS ever pioneer in? It's not like it's the first harem with a dense main character.

>IS was the first school battle harem

No.

Claire a shit. A SHIT.

But the character song is a fucking masterpiece.

Also, Elis a best.

You had so much hope for something mediocre

>make a Blade Dance anime
>end it right before the Blade Dance
Gee, I wonder.

Best girl.

this.

Vol. 13 was great, it just couldn't keep up the same interest.

Who said that? Bladedance is almost as bad as Infinite Stratos. DAL is at least not completely generic with its interesting concept and setting.

Est!

>tfw still listen to the character songs and OST regularly

>What went wrong?
Unlike in Infinite Stratos and DAL, the Houki wasn't the main girl. That's why it failed.

>Blade dance
>Killing DAL
You really think Blace Dance can be better than DAL. DAL goes a different route while Blace Dance still takes the generic setting of school-life and tournaments.

Anime didn't reach the plot of an actual Bladedance. Also, not enough of qt Claire.

Not enough Est.

Immortal dragon lolis > Swords

>Bahamut, King of Dragons, is a loli once again
I concur.

Even if you're Bestia or Est, you can't compete with fucking Bahamut (girl)

I should catch up to the LN once again, if I remember right I dropped around vol 12, with the author hiatus. The story isn't really interesting but the girls design was nice, also they all got a sluty side.

>sales
Who cares? That doesn't reflect quality. STnBD is much better than IS. It could be argued that DAL is better though.

Is this gonna become the next: Antimagic/Asterisk/Rakudai?

>IS:
>MC: shit/dense/stupid
>Story/plot: trash
>Girls: low-tier (germany a best)

>Blace Dance
>MC: decent (somewhat dense at times)
>Story/plot: mediocre-tolerable
>Girls: medium-tier

>DAL
>MC: okay-good
>Story/plot:good
>Girls: medium-tier

>IS
>Girls: low-tier

The fuck?

Are you reading the B-T translation? I tried reading it and couldn't make it past 2 chapters.

As usual, BD translations started a while back and it took a while for the TL and editors to improve their english.

Compared to Blade Dance and DAL? Pretty shit. The only character arc we ever got animated in IS was France and Germany, maybe Russia but only half.

>IS:
>MC: crap
>Story/plot: crap
>Girls: crap

>Blace Dance
>MC: good
>Story/plot: decent
>Girls: decent

>DAL

>DAL
>MC: crap
Pick one.

Even I'm surprised at how decent Shido is.

Me too, but people think he's a dense and useless MC.

blue houki was so cute

Makes sense, maybe I'll give it another try, I made it through 6 volumes of DAL and that was even worse, borderline ininteligible in some parts.

Compared to DAL translations BD reads like a thesis.

user.

This.

It was my anison of the year.
