It makes good use of lame pun and sexual euphemism, just like SYD, but also features some action that isn't out of place in this halfbreed comedy-action, not as much as some other anime with CLEARLY OUT-OF-PLACE DRAMA that pop up in the middle of slapstick jokes routine. Ixion Saga, while not everyone will prefer, or even recognize its jokes as jokes, surely has its own niche out there. Well, those are funny too, but using weird facial reaction or shouting to tell viewers when to laugh gets old fast. It is dialogue-based fun, without the over-reaction we see in other cheap funny anime. SYD, while not one of a kind, is much more original than most school anime that look similar. If you prefer randomness, there are better shows, and even the internet is here to your disposal.
After the latest update, thirty-thousand gamers are trapped inside a game. How can anybody miss Log Horizon when talking about similar anime to Sword Art Online. Stuffs like waterskiing jesus polar bear in a bikini eating spaghetti with noses are not the kind of humor being used here. Popular anime news website, Anime News Network called it similar to Sword Art Online but with better characters. Genuinely funny shows that made use of casual sexual euphemism and being less random than most Youtube viral style "so random it's funny" we see in anime more and more. Ixion Saga is funny enough to actually be a comedy, and Galaxy Angel lack of mentioning any conflict make them an obvious candidate for just-for-fun show. The feeling "Are you trying to be funny or badass?" should have come up to you once when watching the "bad" mix of drama and comedy in many of the anime I don't care to name. They are not lukewarm like those action harem with plenty of boobies catfighting each other and confuse viewers what they are watching. Trying to actually fight evil and not fooling around baking burnt cake and finding lost cats? No fucking way. Evil organization and disastrous timebending event? Check. Powerful artifact from the past that shouldn't get into wrong hand? Check. Macross like space combat machine with sexy pilot? Check. Galaxy Angel? This decade old space opera is no different. Half season in and they NEVER take on any threat, war, famine, or evil overlord seriously. It's just a slapstick comedy with unusual setting. Ixion Saga is an old-school fantasy andventure with all mentioned above, but WITHOUT any intention to actually become the full-blown badass anime. The chosen dude who accidentally jumped into other world and happen to bel the one who will ultimately destroy all evil? Check. Evil knight controlled by some higher secret order? Check. Sci-fi fantasy settings with fancy weapon and power? Check. The unlikely comedy that actually has a potential to be serious dramatic action, but somehow disregard any credibility they build up over the course of the show, end up as a full-blown comedy.
