I absolutely adored the direction that Makina and Ouri's characters took, both together and separately. They sort of broke together and fixed themselves together. It was very beautiful to watch unfold, and I'm glad that the ending of the first season didn't adversely affect the second. I was worried that the series would be lacking from that point on, but it was much the opposite.
I do wish we'd gotten to see our lead characters fighting the good fight more, but I appreciate that the story wasn't beaten to death.
All in all, this series concluded beautifully, and I'm so glad I was a part of it.
