I agree with what was said in the review entierly but even though I find the show hilarious I'd probably give it a B- out of principle since as you said it's not exactly writhing with substance. Definently something to look forward to when I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon though.
Kind of a shame no one decided to go after it(maybe Sentai?). I could imagine the dub for this being pretty funny. |

It's always a bit sad when the first episode of a show is the funniest, and that's what has happened here. The rest of Ixion Saga DT is still pretty amusing, but it looks like the series shot most of its load (pun very much intended) straight away.

I didn't read the review but the sidebar summary is spot-on, so the review itself is probably accurate too.

Well that's a bit lazy of you. Only takes a couple of minutes to read a review.

Saturday Morning Cartoon for adults is such a great way to describe it.
I am not usually into this type of humor but I think it's the comedy on top of the seiyuu performances that does it for me. It's not anything extraiordnary but its something to turn your brain off & have fun with. |

Slapstick fantasy comedy romps are nothing new, and that rings especially true for Ixion. It's alright for a one time watch, but there's nothing that'll make it stick out in my mind a month from now when it's long over. Actually, the most unique thing here is making a newhalf part of the main cast. She'll "stick-out" in doujinshi longer than recollections of the show itself it.

Of all the new shows streaming this season, Ixion Saga DT is probably my second favorite, right behind Magi. Third place probably goes to From the New World or BTOOM! I am a huge fan of Slayers. Ixion Saga DT is more or less like Slayers but with more sex jokes. This is right up my alley.

Thoroughly enjoying Ixion Saga DT, though some episodes may be funnier than others. (The ones with Erec sama are the best, imho, but then again I am also partially biased.) It really is too bad Crunchyroll doesn't translate the opening and ending songs because the lyrics are a riot, from "Let me throw away my virginity," to, "Rip off his balls." There is a lot of wordplay.
I think this series is good if you just want some laughs without having to think too hard. And thank you for the THTC mention-- Totally brings back memories! I've got the 3" single somewhere at home in the States.

I was starting to think I was the only one who remembered THTC!  My sisters and I made a CD when we were in college called "The Worst of Anime," and THTC was one of our favorite tracks. For some reason our parents wouldn't let us play it on family car trips, though...

This is one of the shows that does not imply that you are complete imbecile that does not remember what was shown five minutes ago, and sometimes it is funny indeed.
Not that this show is perfect, of course, but the aforementioned quality that viewers are not treated like idiots makes it watchable and even recommendable. |
