Talk about a tone shift towards the end. I know people hate the comparison, but all I could think about while watching this show is how I could have been watching season 2 of Yona of the Dawn, only to remember that there is no season 2. I went into this show hoping it could at least give me something similar to enjoy and it honestly had that at first until the story took a dramatic turn and devolved into “Fena does amazing things because ancestors, please stand in awe” the series.

By the end of the show, I honestly couldn’t remember most of the ninja pirates’ names. Most of their personalities were one-note and every single one of them, with the initial exception of Shitan, were there to bask in Fena’s presence. And I swear, this show just straight up forgot they had a dog.

Like others have said, this show really needed 24-episodes. Some of the best material was in those earlier episodes when the characters were sailing the seas and had adventures in various ports. The ending, as rushed as it was, was somewhat open-ended with room for a season 2. As much as I didn’t enjoy this show, a season 2 would absolutely help these puddle-deep characters.
