I hope that we get all the silly stuff that was skipped animated at some point. I absolutely loved the guardian spirit chapters for instance

Haha, pretty much. I wonder how people reacted on stuff like Madoka too. I love it when people's expectations are subverted.
Too bad that in Phantom World's case, even if it gets a S2, it will probably diverge from the Light Novels.

Phantom World 13
Too little, too late. Show was visually amazing. But that's it. We got episodic adventures of kids going after oddities. There was little reason to care about said kids up until the last 3 episodes, which were pretty great, but again, it was too little too late. You can't expect your audience to stay entertained until the very end, and ONLY then give them some story. But hey I guess that's what all the fanservice in this was for right? Ultimately, this was disappointing and my new least favourite KyoAni effort. The whole idea could have been so cool, the Phantoms were interesting.

Myriad Colors Phantom World: 13
That little fight scene was pretty cool, the other parts of the episode didn't do much for me. I thought the three episodes before this were pretty good but overall this show is abysmal. It got that Kyoani shine and some really appealing designs but that just doesn't make up for how dull this was with the characters and the episodic approach. Just disappointing.

I still haven't watched eps 9-13 of Phantom World, mostly because the episodic and downright boring stories that appeared to be little more than set-ups into fanservice-y situations. I guess I might watch it until the end if it actually does step up on a couple things near the end.
The only Katsura I know in anime is from School Days, so you've just reminded me that it was a thing. Damn it.

You'll probably be very happy with what's in store for a potential season 2, looking at the light novel synopsis for volume 2.

Phantom World END
This was a pretty good episode, Albrect stole the show with his PC mastery, lol.
If the rest of the episodes could have been like these last three, then there was an opportunity for a pretty damn good show here, but as it is now, it was average, but looked really really good. I wonder if sales will be good enough to pursue a second season.
Let me guess, the harem comes into play for real in a potential season 2, right?

I just watched 12. If 13 is similar, you should definitly watch 11-13. Not sure if 9 and 10 are really important (I doubt it), but 11-13 are actually good. Going to watch 13 now.

Enigma only spinoff please, the only thing I really liked about this show, outside of looking at the pretty smoke, water and sand animations.

Decent episode to finish of the serie,. The final fight was nice, and i liked the upgraded summons. As a whole this show wasn't really anything outstanding, didn't really have much story , but it did still managed to have some really entertaining episodes, some serious ones , some outright crazy, and be one of the best animated shows of the season. I liked the visuals in the show. It was a fun ride.

I just saw another user who was Bish Checked who wasn't Cornbread. What does that tag mean?
Meanwhile, we got the anime original Kuma girl and the
PW Light Novel has this character.
Kyoani just wanted an anime to test front twin tails and bear addiction.

Mai's sister, Mei.
I still feel like KyoAni's prowess was wasted on an anime such as Phantom World. How good a show looks can only take it so far, and the fanservice and absolute lack of plot for at least 3/4s of its run were bad enough that no amounts of gorgeous animation could possibly redeem it in my eyes.
Will probably jump straight to 11-13 if I do end up watching it.
Also, upgraded summons? I'm obviously speaking out of context, but it was such an obvious and generic plot device that I'm not at all happy that the MC gets his joke summons powered-up during the final episode to fight some particularily powerful foe.
Edit: Wut at that spoiler-tagged character. So generic.

I'm also reminded of Hakua-sama, which can never be a good thing.

All right. Here's the synopsis according to the show's wiki. I'm not gonna spoiler tag it since it's literally the synopsis for the LN.
So yeah, it goes from harem adventures to Attack on Titan.

Damn, it turn edgy, grim-dark, horror, LN then, huh. Totally the opposite of S1 and sounds like a completely different story.

Pick it up again! Episode 7 is similar although better IIRC. And with episode 8 onwards it's pretty much consistently good and shines with near unparalleled world building (which even the earlier episodes build up already).
I love the art in this! Looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch.
So the MC basically gives in to the Satsui no Hadou. So edgy!
The disconnect between the first and second volumes appears to make absolutely no sense. WTF.
I haven't watched 7-10 and don't feel like I've missed anything of importance. Still need to watch 13 though.
Phantom World 13 END
Well, that was now definitly the best episode. The last 3 episodes were good and like basically all others, this show could have been so much more. The complete absence of plot for ~8 episodes hit really hard. I mean, I was basically 1-2 weeks behind the whole time after the first 2-3 episodes because it wasn't interesting enough. I had my fun watching it, but if I had to recommend it to someone I would say watch the first 3-4 episodes and then jump straight to episode 11 and skip everything in between, because it's not needed. If we get a second season I really hope it will be more story and less of this comedy harem slice of life filler stuff.
...and reading this, holy shit. I need this. KyoAni please!

Da wut? You'd never suspect the story to go here from the anime. How can this be real?
nintendoman58

It makes even less sense considering the synopsis for volume 3 seems to indicate things taking place back in volume 1's setting again.
From what I can gather from the comments on the wiki,
it seems that Volume 1, which the anime apparently covered, was a dream reality created by Haruhiko and Volume 2 is the real world. Volume 3 involves Haruhiko going back in time to fix things and save all his friends who died in volume 2, basically turning the series into Steins;Gate.
Or something like that. Some comments are claiming that nothing in the anime has anything to do with the actual LNs itself. It's a mess.

Akitaro Daichi is an old hand at making low-budget comedies have interesting visuals. His works in this vein are always worth checking out.

Is this going to be a short length series?
Oh god, this whole thing sounds disastrous.
