For example it takes 7 episodes before Gingaioh even appears.

Granted I do have my issues with the show. The humor at times isn't the best and a bit grating, and at times Hikaru, who is an otherwise fine hot headed character- can suffer from flanderization when the plot demands it. Some subplot points also feel very under developed and shoehorned. However in 33 episodes I've watched there's maybe five I don't care for and one I just will never watch again, that being ep. 4, which I reviewed here.

Oh yes, I remember that review now. Yeah, I can totally understand why it'd be so annoying to watch.

Truth be told, I've never actually seen very many straight up sword and sorcery tales. Strange, I know, but I've only ever read/watched works that delved into it briefly, but never played it completely straight. Gingaman might actually be my first

Also, wow, that is a surprising amount of restraint.
