especially after experiencing such nice stories about character like Parona, March, Gugu, and Pioran.
Although some parts in season 1 have weak elements for me like The Beholder
constantly explaining things everytime he appears and The Nokkers coming out of nowhere
just to be a problem the characters need to deal with.
But regardless I still like this series enough to see where it goes.
Then going to season 2, I like at the start when it shows how depressed and struggled Fushi after
having many people he cares dies before him so that he no longer wanna have interaction with other human
being until he finally comes to terms with that fact and then keep moving forward.
After that the story continues to deal with Nokkers problem until they introduce Bonchien.
At first I thought he's weird and didn't really like him but in the long run I grow to like him as a character
especially with his determination while being prosecuted by the church.
Also I really like the relationship between him and Chabo. The little romance aspect with Todo is also nice
(I'm a sucker for those). He's the one carrying the show until the end for me imo.
But then comes the meh and the wtf moments. I still don't really like The Beholder and The Nokkers
as the story element. The church politic although is pretty surface level I had hoped that would develop more
to become interesting. The new introduced character didn't click with me that much except Robin I guess with
the relationship with princess Alma.
The story leads to the war preparation againts (again) The Nokkers although the scale is much larger
than the previous one.
The war continues until some important characters die including Bon sacrifice that is pretty heartbreaking for me.
But then they introduce the revive mechanic near until the end, including some previous character
that passed away in season 1 which is fine for a moment of nostalgia but then why should I invest about
some character and care about someone death after that when they can be brought back to life that easily?
And the limitations for this power mechanic seems a bit Deus ex Machina esque. For me the author could just
kill a character and then bring them back to live as they like for the convenience of the story.
I tried to read ahead hoping it would get better until I caught up but still it doesn't feel the same after that moment
although everytime it changes to new arc it gets pretty interesting as story progress through modern times
with new character involved.
I don't feel like recommend it if you care about how the characters end up whether they die or not, but if you like your nostalgia aspect and wanna see the characters you like lives forever then good for you
