Comments on: Ultraviolet: Code 044 - 05 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/08/04/ultraviolet-code-044-05/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

There's plenty of buzz in its favor. Ultraviolet Code 044? Not even close. Re-stating the obvious, but a large part of a show's popularity is, ultimately, buzz. It's not surprising that Code Geass R2, precisely because of its over the top and soap opera nature (which I also like, but I digress), would have more fans or at least watchers talking about it, including members of subbing groups.

It’s not surprising that Code Geass R2, precisely because of its over the top and soap opera nature (which I also like, but I digress), would have more fans or at least watchers talking about it, including members of subbing groups.

Meanwhile, ridiculously popular shows like Code Geass R2 are getting subbed by 2-3+ groups. I admit to enjoying CGR2 myself, but it makes me scratch my head to see multiple subbing groups tackle mainstream yet quality-suspect shows (CGR2 has turned into a soap opera train wreck, and yet I can't look away) while good series like Kaiba take forever to get subbed or not at all.

That would be the main reason. If this is ever licensed or at least translated on a regular basis, I may at least check it out, thanks to your blog. Until then, I can't really say anything good or bad about it. So it's a pity that many people aren't really willing to wait.I believe one should try to watch any show for a while, at least more than just a single episode if its a TV series, to provide a fair opinion, positive or negative, beyond initial impressions. If people still don't like it, that's fine, but at least they should be able to provide better reasons.

I think this series was already judged to be excretion before the first episode. The film has a bad reputation so it was assumed this would be the same. Not the worst assumption in the world but not a fair one. Unfortunately while boobs (like a real girls!) and actionless action shows rule the domain people don't have much time for the 'interesting' ... snarfsnarfsnarfrawr.

What's worse is, most anime you recommend are often subbed in slow-motion, so that you have wait several months or a whole year to watch the last episode, and the time between episode tends to increase. Sometimes they aren't subbed at all. The hyped shows are usually subbed by several groups, so you don't really risk an eternal cliff-hanger. I would appreciate if sites which collect rankings wouldn't accept any votes until at least half of a series had aired. Only morons would publically judge a series after they've seen less than 10% of it. I mean it's fine to state one's opinion even if it's not based on any facts but that's not the point of such rankings. I could care less about majority opinions.
