It's crazy to me that I witnessed a masterpiece of a series. A show about Violet growing and developing as a character, only for her to completely regress and invalidate everything previously, and go back to being an obsessive damsel.
And for Gilbert who got SHOT IN THE HEAD AND BLOWN UP to pull a 'somehow, Palpatine has returned' is dumb.
I thought it couldn't get any worse, but not only is he still alive and Violet is being reduced to just someone who needs him, it also got WEIRD.
Turns out, he SPAWN CAMPED HER. Man waited from when she was a child, told her he
...
loved her when she was 14, all so when she turned 18 they could be together. This is some Seven Deadly Sins level of weird shit nobody asked for.
An 18-year-old marries a 29-year-old, who waited years for her to turn of age.
Amazing. Never in my life have I seen a sequel to a series ruin and destroy everything it has built so spectacularly as this.

I really liked the Death Row Convicts arc, after coming off of that high I said to myself I would give this season a 10/10 if it could somehow top that.
And the tournament arc itself was really impressive. However there are two big problems that hold it back for me. First we have the obvious one, which is the anti-climatic end to the final fight between Kaku and Yujoro. The second and also the much more disappointing to me was the handling of Kaiou Retsu and his character. At the start of the arc he gives baki tough love and helps him in his own
...
way, even going to the extent of saving his life from the fatal poison. But then, out of nowhere, he does the Sasuke Uchiha special, a complete 180 in personality where he turns around and starts being racist towards Baki and the other non-chinese. I know 'it's just to be expected' in this kind of thing that writers/artists will push political views and paint people in certain lights etc, I heard that all before - firstly, that isn't okay or how things should be. Secondly, it definitely isn't enough reason to completely ruin a character.
BUT, even so, the tournament itself was extrememly enjoyable and if we were rating just that it would be an 8 or a 9.
The real problem, is the arc that followed. The infamous Mohammad SIMP Alai NTR Junior arc. Widely seen as the worst arc in the series and I finally know why. If I was going to rate this arc on it's own it would be between a 0 and a 2. It was the most dumb out of nowhere arc that was extremely anti-climatic and it felt like I was watching an anime adaptation of some dodgy NTR Manhwa you see advertised for on facebook or some piracy site. Mohammad himself is a massive simp and for no reason whatsoever, and his feelings in general are either extremely poorly handled/written or he's intentionally written to be completely insufferable. Whatever the case, I think this arc can be 100% skipped and it's unfortunate the tournament arc had to be followed by this.
I usually only write anime reviews when it's something that really blowed my mind or I think needs more love, in this case, it blew my mind that such an enjoyable and consistent show could have a random half season arc that is extremely out of place and just straight up weird.

Every month or so I go back, and I try and listen to the second ending theme - 'Red' by Survive Said the Prophet. I do this just to see if I can listen to this without crying or at least tearing up, I finished the show nearly a year ago, and I still always shed tears when I hear it.
This series broke me and pulled on my heartstrings in ways I haven’t experienced before. I genuinely think the story it tells is a genuine work of art and nothing short of a masterpiece.
Never in my life, from any from of media, have
...
I been this invested in and hurt by a tragic love story. I do not think any story or tale of two lovers will ever hit me as hard as the note at the end of this show did. I know some people who know that letter off by heart, and it is ingrained in their memory forever.
Go into this with a lot of trigger warnings, the show has many dark moments and themes, but even if that isn’t your thing, I still urge you – go and give this a watch. The story it tells, the characters it develops, there isn’t anything else like it, and you will never forget this experience.
This is an experience that will stay with you forever.

Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia is the single most underrated anime I have ever seen.
It humanises Gilgamesh, one of the most ruthless villains in the main Fate/Stay Night series. In this show, you see an older and wiser Gilgamesh, after he has met and lost his best friend - Enkidu.
The Archer Class Gilgamesh summoned in UBW and the other main fate routes is actually based on the younger, more arrogant and more self-centred version of himself.
Donquixote Doflamingo will probably always stand on top as the best villain in Anime/Manga for me, but Caster Gil's portrayal in this show, as a leader and
...
someone who genuinely cares for his people, moved me.
I cried when Kingu used his Noble Phantasm, and I still get emotional every time I hear Milets ' Tell Me' that plays during the scene.
In the end, Gil lost his one true friend, he lost the very thing he spent years trying to find that would make him immortal, he lost everything his life was for, his city, his people, he lost his friend again. And, after firing Melammu Dingir he lost all of his treasures and wealth. But still, he sat atop his building, no tears, he seemed unphased, was it because of his clairvoyance? No, that had shown him the destruction of the city, not the loss of everything he ever had. Gil viewed what happened as something that was good, and why was that? Because humanity had won, even if they were helped by the Gods. It was Ritsuka, Chaldeas and the people of Uruk who had emerged victorious, their struggle was not in vain.
The war was won, and no matter how much agony he himself could be going through, how could he be sad? He wasn't, he is the King of Heroes, a King whose ambition led his people, whose shoulder they could rely on, whose back they could look at and be proud of. Divine or not, god or not, the King of Heroes would fight for humanity because that is what he wanted to do.

Before going into this show know that it isn't connected to the other build series of Gundam, and should be treated as a standalone separate series. This show was genuinely an emotional rollercoaster for me, even if major plot points were foreshadowed from the very start and the logic to do with a game world reaches SAO tier of unrealistic, it still managed to bring me to tears. The last 5 episodes, the climax of the story and the payoff at the end were moving and is the best finale of anything I've seen in a long time.
It is an emotional tale of the
...
love people have for their game, and a community coming together to make the impossible possible. The characters are all very interesting and have many different dynamics with each other. The battles are all varied and interesting and have so much freedom due to it being set in a game world.
I can understand why fellow hardcore Gundam fans dislike it. It really goes completely off the usual Gundam formula, and even very different to the Build Fighters and Build Fighters Tri formulas. But trust me the payoff, everything coming together, and everyone coming together, was worth it and gives on of the most moving and exciting endings I could have asked for.
Please, give it a go. You won't regret it. Yes, it's no space politics, it's no space terrorists, it's characters are younger, but that doesn't make the story any less moving or enjoyable. It's worth the ride.
