Seen at the blog with an unfortunate name:

[] Suddenly we’re plunged into an almost Tom-Clancy-esque world where the lies and mysteries pile on, every organization and individual all have secret motives, and drama and betrayal leave potholes all over the landscape.

That is, in my opinion, the foremost flaw of this series. It is beyond jarring. The light hearted tone of the first half of the series is thrown out the window and completely forgotten in exchange for some drama that feels completely wrong and out of place for primary school students.

Frankly it was always obvious to me where the show was going, and it's Lupus's own fault if he allowed himself to be caught flat-footed by the faux ghibli veneer.

But aside from that, way to spoil. I happen to think that too many bloggers dance around too much, yet their efforts are futile. Jeff Lawson's no-spoiler policy comes in handy sometimes, but only because he is very strict about it, so I can visit his place in complete safety. But Steven, also on my favourite list, is neither consistent nor safe in application of his spoiler policies. The "spoiler tags" are a joke, and not just because rely on JavaScript, although that's a part of the problem. It simply is impossible to discuss anything anime in a satisfactory way and not reveal anything spoiling. Jeff made his choice and he's watery and oblique. Steven has made it too and he's meaty and informative; it's the high time he stopped pretending with the tags.

I'm in the spoiler camp. Go, Lupus, call it as you see it, and tell us why. Then we can disagree.
