| It has been awhile since Perish in Frost aired and there was quite a lot going on and so many characters to keep track of that I had a hard time trying to figure out where things stand. While Prelude to Dawn was pretty straightforward, not so much with Perish in Frost. The general story is that Amiya and the organization Rhodes Island is determined to save as many infected people as possible as a disease had been spreading around the world, but she's opposed by Reunion who is looking to purge the world and start it anew. The first season centered around Misha, who Amiya was hoping to join Rhodes, but after they were forced to kill her brother Alex, Misha sided with the enemy and had to be killed. The second season was set in Lungmen and focuses on FrostNova, who is a member of Reunion that Amiya was hoping they could win over to Rhodes, but she stayed and ended up being betrayed, all while Rhodes was simply a pawn in Wei's scheme as he doesn't give a care for the infected, where things pick up in this season. As a result of the fallout from the battle in Lungmen, it's a reminder that a huge catastrophe is on the horizon with Chernobog, the mobile city of Ursus, is on a collision course with Lungmen, and Wei shows no concern about stopping it. Ch'en takes matters into his own hands and lets him know that she won't take this lying down, and fights Wei before escaping through the window, and afterwards gets into a fight with Hoshiguma as she's trying to stop her from going down the path of a martyr. Then the Sarkaz people are introduced as they are a strong and vilified race, and among them is someone known only as W, who is a mercenary sniper. She's somebody whose mental health is not exactly in the right place, but it's dangerous to get on her bad side. And then Rhodes heads over to Chernobog to try to disable the city's core, but they run into a big problem as Patriot is leading the enemy forces, who has betrayed Ursus. So basically, this season so far has set things up for an intense fight as two mobile cities are on a collision course that would be catastrophic if that happens. |
| Episode 20 Last time, Rhodes began its operation to stop Chernobog in its tracks seeing that Lungmen won't, but standing in their way is Patriot, who intends to go down with Chernobog seeing that his daughter FrostNova was killed. Seeing that Patriot is nearing the end of his life no matter what with the advanced stage of his disease, he is determined to go down fighting true to his nickname. In the end, Amiya ends up killing Patriot and is entrusted with the key to stopping Chernobog from its collision course as his belief is that only war can be trusted. But before he dies, Patriot gives a Sarkaz prophecy and basically, the worst is yet to come, but his refusal to succumb to fate remains strong. |
| Episode 21 With Patriot defeated, Rhodes forms an alliance with the remaining citizens of Chernobog as they have a common enemy in Talulah. They bought into Reunion's vision, but Talulah ended up betraying everybody, and with revenge on their minds Rhodes hopes to leverage that in their upcoming battle against Reunion seeing that it's going to require everything they can throw at them. But before that, they need to stop Chernobog's advancement towards its collision course with Lungmen, and just when things were going well, all of the sudden Rosmontis goes berserk. Amiya manages to calm her down before she can do any extensive damage, but this is not a good sign if the one who is entrusted with leading the operation loses control like that. |
| In the leadup to the finale, Talulah's background got explained as she wasn't always this psycho that she is now. She was originally from a remote village in the land of the ice and snow. She was loved and respected by her people and she ran Reunion as a community, but everything changed when Alina was killed, all while it turns out that she has been manipulated by Duke Kashchey, her adoptive father. And with that, it's onto the final battle as Amiya and Ch'en face off against Talulah with Chernobog about to approach Lungmen. The two managed to knock some sense into Talulah, and in the end Talulah was freed from Kaschey's influence, and then W finishes the job as she puts in the shutdown code to prevent a crisis. The key she had didn't work, but Talulah had the real key that she gave W to complete the shutdown. After that, Talulah is arrested and is revealed to be Ch'en's half-sister with the promise that she will be judged fairly and be returned once that's done. So with that, Talulah realizes all the horrible things she did, but she wisened up and is determined to make things right, and as such she has everybody's blessings as she has a long road ahead to redemption, but she's being given the chance and among those things is putting a stop to Kashchey's sinister scheme. And thus, this season ends after episode 8 in the game with there being 12 to date. Final Thoughts Once again, this show's strength comes from the story writing, the artwork, and the character development, but is bogged down by confusing storytelling and being overly complex that it's a show that's better watched in marathon fashion rather than weekly since there are just so many things to remember and characters to keep track of. That said, this season's story is better than that of the first two seasons, and it's largely because of Talulah's character development as her backstory and stuff made the leader of Reunion the most intriguing character of the series so far. So in all, this show continues to be good for something adapted from a mobile game, but it's one that requires a lot of attention seeing that it's hard to keep track of things once again. Grade: B (8/10) |
