Hi Dark, Yeah, I have heard of some pretty awful anime, and the same can be true for any other genre or style of movie/TV show. It all depends on the author/writers, the performers, and so on.
Sounds like this "Garzy's Wing" was an attempt at a very very bad comity. Although, it does seem like it would be amusing regardless of how stupid it was. I've heard of some pretty dumb ones in my time, but by far most were creative and well put together. Anyway, getting back on topic I am glad to see tthis Blind Swordsman game because it has given me ideas for beafing up some basic games in audio. Not sure that I can apply it to anything I am working on now,but I'm glad it is not just a hear it hit it Bop It affair. It has a little depth mechanically even though it is a fairly simple game.
