| Well that was... quite a disappointing ending, to be honest. I don't mean the last scenes with Yoshino and Mahiro, but everything else. The show has been building up this fight for so long, and it felt so ridiculously rushed and predictable. Not to mention that I've never understood why was Hanemura given so much focus, he's never truly earned it in my eyes. Also, including the very shocking moment of Yoshino getting shot last episode only to tell us he's simply got shot in the shoulder which is so small of a deal that he's casually jocking about it sounds like a cheap way to keep us invested. Other than that, this episode confirmed to me that in terms of plot, the show really went downhill after the first half, which was a lot more interesting. The second half had the Aika-focused episodes which were great, but the rest wasn't all that amazing. However, the show does have some strong qualities. The thematics are great and very well handled, it's surprisingly philosophical in a good way, Aika, Yoshino and Mahiro were very well written for the most part (I wish I could say the same for Hakaze but her whole character changed way too abruptly for it to be believable)... I'd say the constant Shakespeare references were quite pretentious but they weren't always gratuitous so I'll give them that. So I can't say that the show's plot was good, but it still had strong qualities that made me enjoy it up to the end. I give it a 7/10. |
