I was about to go with "normal story" but halfway through it got so bad I couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't hoping for a great story, not ever for something special, I was just hoping for it to not be boring. As you can see my bar was pretty low. Guess what? It subverted my expectations :))
The season begins with some nice ideas. The story, some designs... I was getting what I wanted. Then a lamia drops in. Is she gonna be some love interest? Meh, but ok. Then a new girl, so it must be a triangle or something, right? Yes? No? It doesn't really matter, I continue watching. (As you can see, my bar is still on "low" settings.) Halfway season though, a "big" battle starts. And this is when all goes apesh*t. "So you are powerful enough to hurt me?" "You will fail, evil demon". *insert blank face* Yes, this kind of generic dialogue. Those are not actual the quotes but I don't remember them and I can't be bothered to watch it again! So, you don't have an amazing setting, or some nice graphics, or VA, or dialogue, or plot progression, but then you drop even lower??? Oh, I almost forgot. The soundtrack. While that battle is on, an orchestra goes nuts in the background. Im not joking. Full volume "lord of the rings"-like music (not same quality) blaring in the background while you also hear diegetic sounds and "Never, evil demon!" Like I said, expectations: subverted.
It doesn't even matter what happens next (again, things just to move the plot forward) it felt like that was a special thing.
Pfew, thats all. Happy holidays!
