| Agreed. Halfway through the season this "magical destiny" crap sucked the freedom out of the plot and forced Fena into this "chosen maiden" role garbage. It was especially offensive when they showed her mother's backstory. Her entire "role" of having a child to a king just because "La Pucelle must be born to a king", and then just dying after her role was over! They were all puppets to that shapeshifter brat! If he really wanted to reset humanity stop dragging innocent people into a convoluted scheme to force them to make that choice against their will And then when they're finally led to this "Eden" (which we had no idea why we had to go there in the first place) Fena's forced to choose the fate of humanity and then have her memories wiped no matter what choice she makes! Such an unfair deal. |
| With that pacing ... 1-2 episodes ago it was clear there won't be a good ending. (At least from the previous episode.) Was more disappointing than expected though. Not even a big end fight. Just boring talk. |
| After watching the final episode, I feel like the author was trying to go the cycle of "Abel searching for Helena". Yukimaru = Abel , Fena = Helena. But then the final decision was to give everyone a happy ending. |

Nameera said: How come they butcher the ending? This was a truly terrible ending to this story. Fena was forced to make every choice. Never having a will of her own. So at no point were we following Fena’s journey.Just a spiritual being that ordered her to lose everything. Because reasons. We never followed “her journey, free of oppression”, like the Summary for this story states. We followed a girl forced to make choices in the Matrix. God damn I hope we never get an ending this Terrible ever again!!! Exact reason it felt way off, like giving fena everything just to say "ohhh your fate is decided but i will give you choice friends or no friends" and obvious plot holes kicks in, she did reset the world where we see all those pirate chicks alive and kicking and fena lost all memories and travelling again so she is now gonna be a real person, like you seeing this bs, these very deep anime clusterfuck is just insane sometimes. |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| The moment they started mixing up biblical references, la pucelle, ancient legends and whatnot, it was entirely expected to end with nonsense and plot holes all over like this. If they did not choose to go with the fantasy/magical route, they would probably have introduced aliens or something. |
| The show started off so well that I'm a bit disappointed that the final episode was an ass-pull infodump and a Mass Effect 3 choose-your-ending moment. This show deserved a second season and a better written conclusion. |
| it was beautiful. it was fun. it was interesting. annnnd then the finale blows it all to hell in a handbasket. kinda reminds me of those 12 ep. pump and dump shows that are merely made to promote the sales of source materials... manga etc. finale 1 for that type of show? the. show. just. stops. period. no plotlines are solved. no conclusions are reached. no confessions are made. no 'waifu' is chosen amongst the harem. no 'husbando' gets the nod. nobody wins the 'tournament'. the show is over... annnnd guess what? you've gotta read the source to find out "The Rest of The Story." this finale often happens when the source is still going forwards and is SERIOUSLY way way ahead of the show. finale 2? anime original. the screenwriters pull something outta their butts and make it up from cloud castles in the sky. if you're lucky, the source artist/author had some say in this type of finale. if you're not? you'll read the source and curse the anime till your dying day. these endings don't often go well, because 9 times outta 10 they're forced all to hell. and often make no sense what-so-ever. finale 3? these are real sourced endings. and rarer than hens' dentures. usually these sources are short. because trying to put a weekly manga of 2 years in length into 12 eps is hard! or a 3 year long monthly. or if they're long... like a series of light novels that has gone on for years! the anime screenwriters have hacked the source into tiny bite-sized pieces and you lose a GREAT DEAL of content getting to this finale. but it is a sourced finale, no matter how contrived it seems to anime-only-fans. Fena's finale... seemed to me to be a type 2 finale. the screenwriters pulled something outta their collective butts... and this time it was a stinky poo. not a golden shiny sparkly jewel encrusted artifact for the ages. this to me is one of the problems with an entirely all original anime story. the big idea is good. the big idea seems to work. the devil's in the details and gdamn Japan's anime screenwriters, i'd guess! are spoiled by making nothing but adaptations of already existing books etc. say you have Sensei A. and he's written a slam-dunk, selling like Viagra to middle-aged men with trophy wives, series of 'books'... whatever flavor of book it is. so, Sensei A has a whole SLEW of editors, agents, publishers' reps, fanboy/girl readers of their web-content and commenting all over the place, copywriters, fact-checkers, research assistants, art assistants, manga artists/light novel illustrators... a literal bevvy of folks out to polish Sensei A's work. you as an anime screenwriter are handed Sensei A's work and it's a diamond. your job, is to re-cut that diamond into a necklace of individual jewels. guess what? a great deal of your work has already been done for you! character names? done! character associations? done! characterizations, the bits and pieces of each character? done! worldbuilding? done! you just have to pick and choose what parts of Sensei A's work will make it up onto the screen in a 24 minute format. then you've got a show like Fena and the screenwriters gotta make it all up themselves. shrug. but that's just this guy's opinion. :) |

Xisca said: I was like... What the h*ll did I just watch? They skipped and rushed through the whole story... I felt like I had the memory loss instead of Fena. What a crappy ending. It could have been a really good anime, it had potential at first. Really disappointed. should i watch it after the responses i am getting? I mean i put it on hold after watching the first three episodes and kinda liked it |
| Yea the ending just makes it went down even the story is kinda interesting |
