Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
I see very little wrong with holding back...
Lawl.
But yeah, I know that gets annoying. Hence, DBZ was so boring.
I've read a few manga's and watched a few animes where that happened a lot up to a certain point where the MC was utterly and completely crushed.

That sounds really childish/immature...ShadowZeroHeart wrote:Its a never-ending cycle where the author seems to put ALL important characters with infinite power, unwilling to show any signs of weakness among them. Even when the fight ends, or one side loses, they are as if they never put in their best effort. Do it once or twice, and it might seem cool. Repeat it for like 5~8 volumes... You gotta be wondering, "Has he done enough like that yet?"A: "You may be good, but that was just 30% of my power!"
B: "HA! That was 25% of mine!"
A: "I lied, that was 20% of my power! Now taste my 40%!"
B: "Very well then, heres MY 40%!"
A: "Actually, that was just 30% of my full strength!"
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
The whole "LOL I'M JUST HOLDING BACK" trend continues up to the most recent volumes? Oh man...I stopped reading this at Volume 4 when it was just getting too much for me to bear. I like strong heroes and all, but that trend of "LOL I'M JUST HOLDING BACK MY POWER HAW HAW" has got to seriously stop. Does the "LOL I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW I'M JUST PLAYING DUMB" trend also continue? Because that one was also completely annoying - it left no room for surprising plot developments because, hoo hah, our glorious invincible hero already knew all along.ShadowZeroHeart wrote:Dalam wrote:Knowing how it's going, though, you can't really say if that's not planned for something later.

Things tend to happen for a reason.
I would love to agree... but until that "I haven't used my full power!" stunt ends somehow, there is no way I can agree with you... Seriously, I thought it would be a great novel, but the path it is heading down is more of that of an adult novel than a story based novel. In fact, he might as well just sleep with his harem already. Hes acting like a gentleman, when hes just a pervert, toying with them.
I had a favorable impression for this series after having read the initial volumes, but eventually it just got too exasperating for me. Knowing that the whole hidden shounen power levels trend continue is depressing enough, but that it just escalates the eroticism with little reasoning to it is a complete let-down.

Well, even if "I'M JUST HOLDING BACK" part gets annoying ecchiness easily compensates it, IMHO
I don't know Japanese, but even I still can understand something from pictures.
Volume 9:
My sixth sense tells me that there is no way that 12 episode anime will cover already 9 released volumes. Either they planning to do 24 episodes suddenly, or they planning to do second season or we will wait for something till the end of twilight like we are waiting for To Aru Majutsu no Index...

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
The Chinese version is currently up to volume 8. The holding back is still there, then the "i know what you know, im playing dumb" is not really there. More like damsel in distress, hero heads out, harem follows style in recent volumes.Midchuria wrote: The whole "LOL I'M JUST HOLDING BACK" trend continues up to the most recent volumes?

But yes, the eroticism escalates with idiotic logic. Totally ruins the story. Damn, I am jealous of you. I should have stopped at volume 4, or earlier! Personally, this is quite a waste of my/our time.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with holding back. In fact, we believe it was a great move... Until it happens EVERY VOLUME. Its like every episode of the anime, you see them holding back while they pretend that they are putting in effort.Dalam wrote:I see very little wrong with holding back...

You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
Except that this series tries to portray the lead as a gentleman; only he's really not. Plus, the escalation is just...in a word, tasteless. It started out as tidbits, and it was reasonable at the time. Then it continued getting more and more shameless, and now it doesn't even make sense anymore. Whatever plot occurs is just either an excuse for any of the author's favorite characters to go "LOL I'M REALLY STRONGER THAN THIS I'M JUST TESTING YOU", or for the ladies to suddenly get groped, molested, and sexualized.WarStalkeR wrote:Well, even if "I'M JUST HOLDING BACK" part gets annoying ecchiness easily compensates it, IMHO
It's cheap. It cheapens whatever development is supposed to be happening, dramatic, tense or otherwise.
I see. I'm glad I stopped early, then! I got that nagging feeling too once I just about finished the whole ranking exam, and it was nothing but the author completely putting Akatsuki on a pedestal, going on and on about just how awesome and above everyone else he was. I couldn't read that volume with a straight face at all, and I had to try really hard to stop rolling my eyes. And then Volume 4 just made me stop, 'cause I couldn't take it any longer.ShadowZeroHeart wrote:The Chinese version is currently up to volume 8.

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
I know exactly how you feel... I just had to have hopes that it could go back to as good as it first started out in volume 1 or so... *Sigh* Another good story gone to waste...Midchuria wrote:

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
Either way, I'd still love to see it translated here on the site.
Regardless of how cliche things get. I mean, what HASN'T been done already, lol.

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
Not really trying to bring anyone down with regards to checking out Hagure Yuusha, in case my posts get misconstrued as hostile. If you want to read it, more power to you! Not everyone has to have the same tastes, after all.
Well, at least now you know! Though that's barely any reassurance...I feel your pain, honestly.ShadowZeroHeart wrote:I know exactly how you feel... I just had to have hopes that it could go back to as good as it first started out in volume 1 or so... *Sigh* Another good story gone to waste...

Re: Hagure Yūsha no Estetica
At least the author has an ongoing plot to the story, lol. From what I've read of summary posts for each volume, they're all linked together, rather than each volume just being it's own, self contained story.

At least we will be able to know about the beginning volumes (the fun part) in detail if what everyone says about the later chapters being true.EviL wrote:for what i did saw in the anime it really is good
