Wow, seems some other people had the same though as me.
I just finished the show, what i dont get is, they feared the creation of xanadu cause if the dont forbid the consuming of humans the leak of power of existense would maybe backfire, but if they had they idea and the means of getting in a rule to prevent that why didnt they make that the first choice? cause lots of denizens gone, they dont have to consume humans there, no need for flame haze, that would be the best options, and even with back up from the God of Guidance to convince most of the denizens it would be the better way, why the all out battle at palace of stars/seireiden? I mean for real most of the denizens gone, escpeciallythe trinity and bal masque, no devouring anymore and killing of the rest of the remaining denizins could stillb e done. what would have happened if they had actually prevent the snake or xanadu? what if they didnt kill of hecate,yuji,belpeol,sydonay,the seeker,sabrac? it woudl have started all over again in a millenia or two.
oen other thing if some of the denizins dont want to devour humans, why did they coem to the human wolr din the first place why didnt most of them stay in the crimson world? is it ever mentioned why so much of them got to the human world in the first place?
the 4 four gods or 3 later are totally crazym the girl but the god of death also killing of hundreds of low level denizens that just wanted to leave, even if they needed a distratction for shana and the gang getting in the spell for canceling the all you can eat buffet, is like slaughtering refugee cause most of them wanted to get out of the battlezone and leave the world.
does it really make sense that so much go to xanadu of the flame haze and even the gods, they killed each other for more than 3000 years, i would think we can assume that this goes on for over far longer, so all the hatred is away just cause the denizens want to behave?
than if soem like friagne or lami need power of existence for soem purposes, why didnt the other everneeded it? like hecate sydonay after all the fighting they did, or the seekerprofessoer? they lost a lot and would have to restore it somewhere, second if power of existence is the energie that drives all, where excatly get the flames hazes their fighting skill from?
and at the one guy who said dbz fight go on to long they do cause its a lot of smack talk and mostly only 2-4 fighting this is a large scale war and no 1 on 1 battle, even so i would have liked to see the fight between shana and yuji a bit longer.
in summary i really think its a real good story cause, people like ike, sato realize their fellings earlie or like ogata and kazumi persuing them and not the drag on about dieniyng them and playing dumb, only excluson being the mc yuji for some points, for shana she knows of here feeling but doenst know what to do about it, and they even ask adults for advice in their emotional situations, what you dont often see much in animes, cause in real life even if its not your parents there might be an older friend or sibling or some one else you feel close, too.
so the emotional growth of the characters is nice continiously and at most realisitc.
for the war well since you can see both sides there is no really good or bad. in most storys you can relate pretty good to one side. it is the realism that not everything is black or white in this anime especially the third season whic makes it so catching, well sometimes i though it was ust to aweful on how many died on both sides, especially the one god who devoured one for multipliyng his army,that i wanted to quit watching cause there is enough war in the real world. cause its for that depiction of conflicts that there is no right or wrong neither before nor after and how complicated these conlficts are that this series is so good. i though that like a dues ex machina yuji would make everything back right hwhen he asked for hirai torch from shana but than they made goood turn that he justed wanted to make everything as right as possbile and that was a part of doing so, but it would mean that some people would forget shana.
well this goes on to the last topic, yuji and shana, i actually cant understand why yuji never said a word to her, about what was going on. he wanted to save her, his city and the world, okay but why has he to hurt her so much with his way of behaving like this? and why was it impossible for the two to be together as long as she was a flame haze, sure she has atask to do but sice i got quite strong he wasnt in the way i could have been along side her. I understand the meaning of punishing oneself for the action he took and the death and misery he forced but he knew i would end the war ocne and for all does this make it acceptable to kill that many, absolutly yes and absolutly no at the same time, and i can totally understand that. But the flame of heavens and the strongest flame haze would be a good way to guide the flame hazes in the new world cause there would be still three faction with much old hatred the denizens no longer consuming humans but still could kill them on purpose or accendtally if they do anything like the seeker experimentes now with enough power of existence, the denizins against the flame haze, the flame haze against the ddenizins, cause 1300 which is alot and most except for shana and the old guy with the tuning stick and few other have not endless hatred for the denizens, and the flame hazes most of them have not that much love for humans, cause of their job they have been out of society for hundreds of years, they dont have much love for humans most, just use the reason to rpotect humans and the balance for their revenge, so most dead humans are just neglectable collateral damage, so why on earth would he put shana wish d be with him, her good purpose as a flame haze and flame of heavens good purpose over his selfhatred to punish himself? i cant seem to follow why he would to that? |
