| So much exposition.... so, so much. I'm left a bit confused. It sounded like George's family was the illegitimate branch based on the way he spoke of keeping it a secret. And the black dragon spoke of waiting hundreds of years for the Dragon Emperor with the egg responding to Hadis' capture. It seems to me that Hadis is of the true imperial line and George wants to kill him to keep the secret and his hold on power. |

| Even the dragon queen knows the age gap is super fucked up. Granted she isn't one to talk as she's pining after an egg. What exactly did stabbing herself with the egg shell do? It didn't unseal her powers but it gave her one super punch because...magic? |
Domvina said: I believe that it's not an illegitimate "branch" but that the entire royal family has been illegitimate for some time.I'm left a bit confused. runec said: It either temporarily broke the seal or Jill might have absorbed the magic from the eggshell and used that power to give the dragon a nuggie.What exactly did stabbing herself with the egg shell do? |

| Episode 12 (Finale) Actions speak louder than bloodlines here, and after Jill stops Hadis from going on a rampage in light of him learning the truth about his bloodline by promising him to make one big happy family, Elentzia and Riestard decide to trust Hadis over George as they are none too pleased with the way George handled the situation. So George transforms into a one-eyed dragon after the fake Heavenly Sword consumes him and Hadis puts his uncle out of his misery. As it turns out, Faris is the one who orchestrated this as she's the reincarnation of the goddess and is the one who made that fake Heavenly Sword using the spear, and is aware that Jill went back in time. She made the spear, then had Gerald give it to George to set things into motion. And after that, the parade in which Hadis declares his emperorship and his marriage to Jill, and to think that Hadis nearly resigned because he couldn't celebrate Jill's birthday with the parade happening the same day. So with that, this show ends with the False Emperor's War being stopped before it starts and Jill figuring out that Faris was pulling all the strings, and while the immediate threat was vanquished, there's still a bigger threat out there as indicate with the dragon egg hatching there at the end. Final Thoughts While this is another cliched show involving time travel in a fantasy setting, this one had its charm with great characters, amusing antics, and a solid plot to carry the show. These things along make this show fulfilling to watch. That said, this show's story writing is held back by its need to overcomplicate things as I feel that the flow of the show was continuously impeded by its need to be overly comprehensive. In all, it was a fun time to be had even if the show becomes needlessly complex. Grade: B- (7/10) |
| The show had a great combination of action and humor. I really liked the main characters and their interactions... even though their relationship is a bit cringeworthy. This is the right way to finish up a season that suggests more to follow. They defeat the villain, regain the empire, and re-introduce the bigger threat. 8/10 |
| I'll go with a 6/10. It was above average but Hadis was so cringe worthy and immature. |
| The plot was kind of all over the place and went weirder at the end. 6/10 |
| That felt like the waste of a good character. I really like Jill, but making her ten was just unnecessary cringe. I'm wondering if the ending was rushed because it was anime-original or were they racing to get to the end of whatever chapter they were working on. |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| I went with a 6/10 because I gave Villainess a 7/10 and I didn't want to give this show the same score since I thought the other one deserved to be a full point higher. |
