Even though there were small wars among areas, the kings had roundtable meetings to maintain peace and balance. It was until a dark group of dark monsters appeared...
xD so glad i dropped them, looking for a better series based on Sega games?Norren said:So, a few of the shows this season don't have threads, but I need to post a scathing review of hate on one so that people know better than to watch it.
Divine Gate. 3/10.
Easily a contestant for the worst anime this season, competing with Koukaku no Pandora and blowing past Phantasy Star Online 2 in their mutual race to the bottom. I managed to actually make it to the end of Divine Gate, while I relegated KnP to my "marathon if I'm bored" list.
