So I've finally gotten around to reading the Katanagatari novels, and it seems like I'll need to overhaul a lot of the verse.
Seems like the LN and anime aren't different enough for us to be allowed to have both, so the profiles will need to be based on the novels exclusively.
I'm only 7 books through so far, but Sabi's 8-B island feat and Nanami's mountain feat are both nonexistent. We didn't see their fight on the island or get the impression it destroyed the island, so that can't be used. And Nanami's feat just doesn't exist. She just killed all of the villagers, the mountain wasn't destroyed. Mt. Shirei was destroyed, but it turns out that this was essentially a chain reaction; Akuto Bita kept the mountain intact, so when Nanami took that for herself the mountain collapsed over 15 minutes.
So far I've found a slightly better speed feat that I've got calced here, and I think Ginkaku has a really strong case for SoL not being an "exaggeration".
Hax-wise I think it'll turn out to be a wash, or maybe slightly improved hax. Some abilities don't function as indexed with the novel descriptions, and the anime cut out some bits of hax that the novel had. I've taken 14 pages of notes so far so I obviously can't go over every little detail, but the profiles will essentially need to be rebuilt from LN statements, maybe only keeping descriptions/summaries/pictures.
So uhh... Discuss the series in general! Feel free to ask about any specific feat/statement you want me to check for from the first 9 episodes (book for the last 3 is arriving in about 2 weeks).
