Props to the last episode. It certainly had a silly "it's going to be this easy" feel to it. Satou jumping down, blasting monsters, and seemingly overpowering this multiple evil just because he has all the rings. Didn't work out, but hey props to playing up to the part for a bit there. Considering the imbalanced connections and way things have built up so far it's impressive he did that much damage.
Yeah good thing the old guy didn't give up hope. Best not to bring up that Hime was totally going to leave them all to die...that'd be a bit awkward
. At least backup arrived. Hilariously characters keep getting saved in ways they might not deserve
. Like the old guy pretty much lied to the girl he loved and left her behind to go on this adventure, but was saved precisely because she went against what he wanted and followed along anyways. Thank goodness for that since without her efforts nothing else would have really mattered. Everyone would have died then and there. Although weren't there still soldiers still down there when Satou made his move to attack? You know what...I'm going to forget about them since the idea that they were left to die would be a bit unsettling.
Nice that there was a sisterly reunion there. Obviously one mostly put off for the second season. Fingers crossed that the magical training goes well.
Well, that puts an end to this one
. Definitely one of those times that it's a relief to have a show wrap up. Started out pretty well, but definitely fell hard the further it went along. The visuals were solid, the voice acting good, and character designs were nice. But it had some issues the further it went along. I can't even imagine how bad season 2 could be
. It might be better than expected...
Still going to say 5.5/10. Even a 6 feels a bit too generous.
