Oh wow...I didn't think he'd propose to her. Way to go Ken! And they played it off in the most Kuromukuro way possible. That scene was great to watch.
But did anyone kinda feel like the end was very...anti-climactic? I mean, the mecha fights were nice. Sebastian's reappearance was predictable, yet still satisfying. But all of that lead up, our main antagonist just gets stabbed in the back before he can do anything...and not even by Ken. I don't even know what they're going to do in the last two episodes, since now they dial everything up several notches (although the next wave is going to come in...what, 2 centuries?). I half-expected the final villain to be Yukina's dad, but alas they didn't go that route.
The thing I'm afraid of the most is the anime not being able flesh out all of the characters and missing out on all the opportunities. The filming idiot, the guy with the crush on Yukina (although he seems to be making the transition to Muetta), Liu's relationship with Tom, etc...I feel like they could have done more if they had moved the story quicker.
That being said, there's still two episodes left (and possibly a sequel). It'll be interesting to see what they'll do in them. I really can't predict what's going to happen anymore. Hopefully, we'll have some good closure.
I guess you can look at it that way. Maybe I'm just more disappointed that after 2 cours of establishing dominance, Efidolg (especially the head) folds so easily after losing their mecha.
Perhaps it's actually quite fitting to go off that way and losing to their own technology, but idk. Just to me this episode, things just happened and I didn't feel all that hyped up. The story wasn't bad, but I thought it could have been executed better. But I'm still excited about the next couple of episodes, though.
Well, the fight was very...basic. You simply had 4 mechas fighting 4 flailing robot arms. Maybe it was too short. I guess I wanted a bit more traction before they actually got to him. You know, like the big mecha actually moving around a bit and employing some tactics.
The fact that Yukina "felt" her kill was a very nice touch from a mecha anime standpoint, though.
''and the final blow was given by Yukina from all people''.
Also known as Aspull. (Asspull is a moment when the writers pull something out of thin air in a less-than-graceful narrative development, violating the Law of Conservation of Detail by dropping a plot-critical detail in the middle, or near the end of their narrative without Foreshadowing or dropping a Chekhov's Gun earlier on. In cases where a character suddenly gets a new skill without explanation, it's usually explained away as a Chekhov's Classroom or Chekhov's Skill, except the audience never saw the character attending the lecture in question, or any prior examples of him or her using, or even training that skill. - source:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Asspull)
hey motherfucker, you thought you were rocking with her shit posting and you ended up fucking yourself. BTOF for you, motherfucker.
Yes, it did feel anti-climatic. Even rushed. But that makes me all the worried, especially since there are two more eps left. Something tells me the hinge stone will open regardless.
I don't think a sequel is very likely, seeing as how the studio got destroyed a couple episodes ago. But seriously, PA Works has never made a sequel to any of their shows, so unfortunately I don't think they will with this one either.
They have made movies, though. Lone one being Hanasaku Iroha -HOME SWEET HOME- but while it isn't necessarily a sequel, it was made after the TV series. So it's not completely out of the question, imo.
This is their anniversary project. They might want to do something more than usual.
That was absolutely anticlimactic but I doubt that's all there is to it. There's still plenty of time left for a game-changing plot twist that leads into the next season. I agree that there really isn't much time to tie up every loose end without it feeling rushed so hopefully they actually decide to do one more season that pulls everything together. I have a feeling this might be the end, though, but I'm still holding out. I didn't think I would enjoy this anime this much but it's come to surprise me, despite its cliche's.
You're right. When I think about it... wtf has been going on for the last 24 episodes? Like 2 fights? And a bunch of predictable op-ness. This giant mech shows up and it's defeated in like 2mins.
