Lakan and Fenxiang made me cry! Meimei was a real one for opening the doors. Maomao's dance was animated beautifully!

I was not expecting the plot to go there for the final episodes, they teased Lakan so much, made it seem like you would hate him, and then ep23 reveal puts things in a big perspective. This last arc was easily the highlight of the show, and we got Maomao past in detail much earlier than I would expect, it makes sense why she so emotionless to most people, and in this case even to her mother, though she has strong emotions for her dad. Hopefully this means he might still have a chance in the future, but seeing her mother getting some life back (before she dies like Maomao says she will), and Lakan trying to redeem itself... If anything, one thing I dislike is that the mother was alive all this time, and the old granny was soo stubborn! Lots of drama could have been avoided IF Lakan knew and got to spent time with Fenxiang sooner, it is bittersweet, but also sour that Maomao reacts to it so distantly. In a sense, it was her mother that caused all of this... I dont take the show seriously for romance, Jinshi will have an hard time, it will take a long time to get anything really meaningful. Most likely what first attracts people to the show and has them staying is Maomao erratic behavior, but with time the other characters also develop and you want to see more of what will happen, this is only the start, having adapted 2 volumes of the LN, in 24 episodes. And they do this because the LN is one those rare few with tons of chapters, being fast-paced with tons of plot progression per volume itself, having already started the LN prior to finish this, it is clear this adaptation is of the highest order, and not only doesnt skip any meaningful content, but also adds to the source (which is not very descriptive by nature). Lack of romance aside, and EXCITING plot, there is not much to point, if anything OP1 was TOP QUALITY amazing best OP when the anime aired, and then OP2 not being bad, was not as impactful, but it also had a different mood to it. OST had some noticeable tracks, being Kevin I m expecting that they were well blended to the point I will check the OST and realize there is tons of quality tracks included actually. Season 2 it is. 9.1/10 = 9 It is an high score for an anime that only feels that is now starting, but this also undoubtly one of the better character driving series from recent years IMO. Marinate1016 said: I really don’t think people appreciated how generational that run is. It was quite clear that when Fall 2023 started, and the first few episodes of Hitorigoto aired, that will would be eating GOOD, only people that didnt watch both shows would be blind to it. More importantly, both Frieren, this and BokuYabba S2 finished on the same season, to me that is more noticeable, to get so many good shows ending back to back. |

| Great show. The part with Lakan was very touching. Was kind of annoyed at how he was made to look like a bad guy throughout the earlier episodes. Looking forward to second season. |

| Great anime. I was torn between 8/10 and 9/10, would give 8.5/10 if possible, but I decided to go for 9/10. This was an intriguing anime, I enjoyed the setting and how it was handle. I would say Maomao is an OP character xD and I actually do not mind that in the right anime. Also, we are full of the usual OP male characters in shounen animes out there, so why not? Specially enjoyed how Maomao doesn´t care about love/romance (well, at least for now?), and she was not one of those strong female characters that would soon succumb to the gorgeous male character. 2nd half was slightly different as it started to go deeper into drama matter or more serious tones compared to the 1st half. The mysteries got more complex and sometimes I would find myself lost on what was happening - so yep, I can´t deny this slightly and naturally decreased my enjoyment compared to the 1st half- ye, maybe because I didn´t have the brains to understand xD maybe if I were to rewatch I would understand better. 2nd season confirmed and that is good news. Although this will take some time at least for me, who is always waiting animes to finish airing to binge-watch (as I did with this one.. took me just 2 days to watch 24 epiodes xD). Oh well... I guess it can´t be helped so I will just left with a... until then! --- By the way, why didn´t they tell Lakan that Fonshin was still alive? Is it because they were trying to protect Fonshin from Lakan thinking he was the one to blame to what happened? |
