I believe Blood- has already done a flawless job of responding. I could break down how your response to Kruszer indicated exactly what I said it did, but you already know why, because it was done intentionally.

Oh, so now you are a mind-reader? You, who can't even read a post properly? Hah, that's a good one. Now tell me the one about the priest, the cleric and the rabbi who walk into a bar.

^They fell down.

But you have to admit the way you worded it could definitely be interpreted that way, as some kind of incredibly arrogant "it is because it is" type of circular argument.

Book of Bantorra is pretty nifty. It can be incredibly messy and complex, but it has some great story arcs, and the plot comes together in a really interesting way. Not A-list material, but definitely one of the more fascinating and unconventional fantasy anime to be released in the past few years despite its numerous flaws. It's produced by David Productions, who are known for putting out left-field adaptations like the supposedly hilarious Level E and and the much-better-than-expected Ben-to, if that helps.

Don't know much about Towa no Quon, so I can't say much about that.

Ya'll realize none if this sniping and bickering is condusive to helping the original poster determine if these titles are to his/her taste, right?

Indeed it is not, so they better knock it off.

Like Surrender Artist I'm cautiously interested in Book of Bantorra.

I DID watch Towa No Quan though...and I don't recommend it. It's not offensively bad, but it was really not good, I'd say.

It just felt like a watered down version of Scryed...and extremely rediculously cloying and saccharine.
