| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Wow now that was an EPIC Season Finale!! Damn first time seeing Shadow Garden Base. Rose become 666. Overall Solid 8/10. |

| What a great way to end this season, I'm thinking of buying Manga and Light Novel to continue this Obra Maestra. |
 |
| in the end Iris became one of the most annoying characters - truly disappointing, I hoped for so much more for her Cid as always is an undefeatable MC and that's probably the only good part (Beatrix wasn't that bad either to be fair) quite curious what they have prepared for Rose |
| Thank goodness this random anime is over xD I couldn´t bear seeing that Cid´s face anymore. Making him infinitely OP turned out to be very frustrating. Those girls are unfornutely just there to lose their hopes after trying their best and highlight how the MC is "cool and invincible", and after that they can´t help but to downgrade themselves and join his harem xD Frustrating. For sure another overrated show. I blame my edgy fellow otakus xD |

| too bad the Chuuni suffering ends...so long folks! 1/5. |
 |
| The battle felt like watching FFVIIAC Sephiroth but on DBZ power level. I like it. Also I'm grateful for Alexia, she looks like fem Robin from Fire Emblem Awakening. Overall fun ride. 8/10. |
| Just drop the damn show next time, why do you hate yourself? |

| i've hard a hard time watching anime these days.. probably a year already. Only one in the 10 animes would keep my attention now and here it is: Shadow Garden. I watched the first two episodes when they were still releasing and left it on-hold. The reason why I continued is, is quite simple. A glimpse of the last episode was shown on TikTok and I immediatly started it. A day and half later. I finished it. A maincharacter that perfectly knows what the audience wants? Yes, Cid Kagenou read my mind with ease. Every single thing he wanted to do, it just brought all kind of emotions up. I got goosebumps, laughter and what more. The whole concept of him operating in the shadows and being a background character at the same time is just a marvelous idea. You get to see both sides of the coin. One is epic as hell and the other one is just hilarious. You've got a powerful maincharacter that acts like a scaredy cat but still manages to attract a lot of attention. This is where the other characters shined. First of all, it's the main psycho girl Alexia. Her voice actor, Kana Hanazawa did a SPECTACULAR job in any situation. She's the first girl beside Cid's sister to be full of personality. That's one key point that I liked so much about the show. Her presence in the story was noticably low later on, but the whole beginning was focused on her. I liked how she developed and what role she has in the story. After that, it's Rose. She caught Cid's attention during the school festival thingy and the terrorist attack. I personally don't like how they handled her character but if you view how the story progressed, it makes quite a lot of sense. I definitly wanted her to play a more important role close to Cid and not be a member of Shadow Garden as she was just such an amazing character in general. Lastly, Beatrix is a character that caught my attention near the end. Her voice actor Mikako Komatsu had such a soothing voice. I could listen to it for hours and not get bored of it. All the other girls such as Alpha, Aurora, Gamma, Eta, Epsilon, Delta and Beta were unique in their own way. I personally liked Alpha and Gamma the most. Both of them played quite a big role this season. You've also got Iris who was quite nice. In my opinion, the voice acting was the key factor of why I was so engaged with show. Not only that, but Cid's character was just PERFECT in my eyes. I laughed my ass off so many times whenever he performed something no matter in which form. As Cid or Shadow, it was just so fucking fun. "I AM ATOMIC" is a line which I will NEVER forget. It is just so ADDICTING to listen to. The bassboosted lines throughout the whole serie were so exciting. I would almost fucking jump off my chair whenever I heard it. The fight scenes were also incredibly fluid. Some still frames used but those were alongside well and smooth animated sequences. The last fight between Shadow and Beatrix/Iris was just a 10/10 in my book. I wish it was a little bit longer, but it was still crazy. How he managed to handle two of the strongest swordfighters with EASE. He even used a fucking pole to block attacks and just swing it. In the end, drop a fucking atomic bomb for the joke LMFAO. Oh boy, they were scared as hell and he almost broke Iris' soul. The opening and ending were both decent, not a very catchy song though. This was an enjoyable ride. I managed to finish it in less than two days which is crazy for me nowadays. It turned out to be one of my favorite shows and I seriously cannot wait for the second season which got announced right after the last episode. |

| For a Princess Angry Red sure doesn't give a damn about the people. And she had the nerve to say Shadow was an enemy of Midgar. Lambda shredded her clothes and cut her hair at the same time with 1 eye. This was better than I thought it would be. It got better with each episode. I really liked the political intrigue. |

| Iris went mad. Shadow thrashed Iris and Beatrix left and right. It was satisfying to watch her cry after all that madness. Expected Rose to join the Shadow Garden, and it was high time she joined. Sherry wants to kill Shadow. Claire won the championship and she didn’t face Cid’s disguise. All went good for her. Whoa, Alexandria looks cool. Until next time. Subtle announcement of next season. |
 |
| This is the closest to ever seeing a threesome with Shadow, Beatrix, and Iris. Just kidding ofc haha. Shadow is OP as hell. He can take on both girls with ease. It's not even fair. I am Atomic. That shit still gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to see season 2. |

| The fact that Iris probably caused more damage to the city than Shadow. Her father was right. |
