So, Crystal is over now. And, according to the fansubbers, none too soon:
In the end, it just didn't have the tight pacing of the manga, nor the comedic content of the older anime. Nor much content at all. The first 14 episodes might be worth it if you want a summary of the manga story in anime form. I enjoyed it until about that point, though it's not amazing. After that, I don't think I liked a single episode -- superheroes standing around talking for 20 minutes with 2 minutes of action is not very dramatic.
I don't think there's any new content here, so Bob et al. can safely ignore it for their fics.

Quote:SMC was a mistake, but thankfully it's finally over.
Quote:only one more ep until the suffering is oversubbing this show makes me feel like i've been trapped in a space-time voidI kinda stopped watching around episode 22. I had been watching classic Uchuu Senkan Yamato, and realized that Yamato easily had twice the animation of Crystal in the last few episodes. So I just stopped. A static part-of-a-girl's-face for 15s at 1080p is not an improvement over classic BSSM anime.
