tales of the abyss: ep 1-3

Ohmygod i have a shitload of stuff to update! Anime overload! Will have to post Xam’d ep 13 and Kuroshitsuji ep 1-2 later since i’m lagging behind with Tales of the Abyss. Well, i’m glad i stuck around with it, it’s gotten more than usual flak for basically having a blah plot pacing. My verdict? It’s not as awesome as i would have liked from a fantasy game adaptation, but IMO it’s not the worst show of the season. GONZO won an almost unanimous vote with Kurogane no Linebarrel, and i must say they pulled it off magnificently.
