Better than season 2 but still...
***BEWARE OF THE SPOILERS***
Well well that was a ride! I watched the 6 episodes in 2 nights. In no particular order things I liked, I didn't like, good and bad WTF about this season and the questions I still have. I'm spoiling this for you, read at your own risk!
Good points:
- KANAE AND TODOROKI, do I even need to develop?
- the revival of the Hibiki/Todoroki bromance. It was such a long time coming and I had doubt ngl, but I'm glad they could mend their relationship once the Kurumi-related tension and previous disagreements faded.
- less Kurumi
- more gore-y scenes, the effects were better made than for previous seasons imo.
- the introduction of Mirai, nice of them to add new elements
- Kanae greatest character PERIOD
- the Cult. I was one to think that it was lacking in S1 and S2, as blindingly turning to pseudo-religion is one of the most prominent coping mechanism in all impossible situations. The moral questions they bring were much needed, good job on that.
Bad points:
- KANAE AND TODOROKI... a ship down way too soon
- I do not get the point of the X group... like, what do they want? Where do they EXACTLY come from? How are they recruted? What motivates them to do bad? I... don't...like them.
- Good that they tried to give more importance to Yuzuki but... she is a child that very recently lost her mom and trash of a dad... Where is the trauma? The pain? The dark impact it should have on her? AND THE ASTHMA??? LOL
- The very cliché the-wingman-of-the-cult-is-crazier-than-the-leader trope... not impressed
- Jian was close to non existent this season
All kinds of WTF:
- I really thought Hibiki was finally (rightfully) losing it, they had me during the first two episodes... I would have liked it better, he has all the right to give up with everything that happened to him.
- You throw a baby in there, okay. How come she's still alive and clean at this point? How do you feed her when you can't even feed yourself? And why is the baby unsupervised 95% of the time?! hahaha
- Soooo no info on Woo Jun ? I mean it was barely talked about, even Min Jun didn't talk about him. What about his story other than the flower thing?
- How come Hibiki so easily left Yuzuki behind ?
- Has Takeuchi Ryoma given up on Hibiki? He didn't react much to Mirai and kept being obsessed by Kurumi but he was sadder for Todoroki than for her????? Isn't that off-character?
Questions remaining:
- Unless I didn't get the info, do they have any kind of contact with the rest of the world? They do talk about another country in S3 (mmm...) but what about the rest of the Globe? Is the whole world in the same situation or is it a Japan-thing?
- Shuto part 2... S4 better not be another S1 cause that would bore me to death
- Why so many seasons? I would rather have more episodes but less seasons, I feel the plot vanishing more and more
- Kurumi.. down for good? Not too sure about that, they didn't show her well enough... And I may have mixed up info, but wasn't she tested on by Shuto cause her blood cells had special golem-resisting qualities? Did that really just delay her transformation? Will they ever talk about that?
