Shuumatsu no Izetta (2016)

Marvellous looking for 2016 I must say! A lot of anime from back then almost has like a slightly darker shade over the picture or perhaps looks a bit dull in colour saturation.

The show is fine, it's pretty good with the action, and the sound of things is well-invested. However, it is also a lot of talking and romance talk without love. By this, I mean that it is basically a show about pretending you don't want someone to do something that you really do want them to do and convincing them of this. You get a classic America or 'Atlanta' response of the suspected if we can't have this no one can in terms of power argument. They would abandon everyone because they can't have it.

On one hand, you have standard World War 2 technology then you also have clones. Honestly, just pick a level of technology. It is like Attack of the Clones with magic and World War 2 technology, like a certain franchise but without as many 'magic' people and not in space.

The sound is the best for vehicles here, superchargers on aircraft sound fantastic for example.

Characters are stuck in a weird World War 1 vibe of the world but during World War 2. The enemy is bad, the good is pretending not to be bad and the neutral is on the pivot depending on what it gets them.

Honestly, the show is good, you get good battles and fights with good sound. The show has a lot of talking, and random offshoots into what is meant to be meaningful but just isn't as a way to explore a side character's personality.

7/10.
