At last, we got the finale to this part of Season 2 and the season as a whole, and it was a pretty good episode overall, we got to see Anos finally deal with Golroana and the God of Vestiges, although the way he won was pretty cheesy but this is Anos after all lol, man just made up a move and said bye bye to that “invincible” world. And there was also the reveal that after all of the flashbacks in this season, Arcana is not Anos’ actual sister, but it was all something she dreamed up, and that she’s also the Goddess of Absurdity, not Misha and Sasha’s fusion like we were lead to believe, and I’m ngl this did seem like it came out of nowhere but really it doesn’t matter, because Anos made her dream a reality and managed to win thanks to this. And the last moments of the episode were kinda wholesome with Anos exposing Sasha’s past with him and Anos’ parents’ reaction to the crying Arcana, his dad even pulled out an Anos-like line lol, a good moment to end on.
And after looking at some other folks’ posts, I can say I am not with MAL on this one, while I definitely agree that the delays for this season sucked and made what was already a bit confusing plot even more confusing, I don’t think this was a bad season. This was the first story to take place after the whole Dilhevia situation which was the plot of both Season 1 and the first half of this season, and I think it had a lot of cool moments and interesting new characters, as well as good moments for older characters like Emilia which was one of my personal favorite parts of this season. All this being said, I do have my gripes with this season, the biggest being the ugly as sin CGI dragons, those things are an absolute stain on this season, it would’ve been fine if they were just for a handful of scenes but they were actually a major part of the plot so we never truly escaped them, not even in this final episode lol.
Another issue I had was the slight lack of Misha and Sasha content, yes they were there and had good moments, their fusion was especially cool, but compared to previous seasons they were unfortunately underused, a shame because they are one of my favorite parts of the show. Yeah I can definitely say this part of the season is probably my least favorite in the series, I thought the first part was pretty strong but they couldn’t quite keep the ball rolling going into the second part, with no help by the delays lol, but I still enjoyed this season and would be down for more adventures with Anos and the gang, I doubt we’ll ever see more but I will be there if there is, hopefully they can air the season all in one go if it happens lol. And lastly I gotta mention the OP and ED, if there’s one thing they didn’t miss with it’s the jams, both are so damn good like the ones that came before it, very happy we heard them both in the finale. |
