I'm doing this review just to let out my disappointment and anger, so this is gonna be messy (like this special episode)
Also, sorry for the bad english but it’s not my native language.
When it first came out, I fucking loved WEP, it blew me away. I loved the characters, I loved the story in all its aspects, and I was strongly convinced that it would have become one of my favourite animes. Then, episode 12 came out. I can't describe how bad it made me feel; everything made zero sense, literally Z E R O sense, and it felt way, way too rushed and abstract. I usually love abstract endings (Evangelion is my favourite anime...) but that episode was just bad. Really bad. After that incredible flop, my expectations for this special were super-high. I wanted it to be the great Finale that WEP needed and deserved. But we all know that it isn't. Not even a little bit. This special is even worse than episode 12, it's even more messy and disappointing. Nothing makes sense, the characters are just a blank shadow of what they were before, and NOTHING is concluded. They could have take their time to explain at least the essential things, but no, they used the first half of the special to do a completely useless recap of the show, and once again they decided (or were obliged to) rush everything. It's like they didn't even try to make a satisfying ending. It feels like a way for the studio to say: you have your finale, we concluded the story, now we can forget this show for good.
There are some positives too, (...but I couldn't give less)
The soundtrack is great as usual, same for the artstyle. It's unique and stunning. The backgrounds are also beautiful. Yes, this is it with the positives, back to the negatives!
I hate the fact that we have had to wait so long for this. If it had come out one week after episode 12, or even 1 month, it would have been almost ok. But having to wait so long for this shit makes the pain even worse.
Now, the most important thing: the emotions
In this episode,there are none. Really. When I watched the series, I was always dragged by it. I was constantly feeling strong emotions, and I was insanely attached to the characters. Episode 13 erased all of this. Watching it made me feel… empty. I just didn’t care anymore. Am I exaggerating? Yes
Am I supposed to be so angry about this? No
But I am, and it was the last thing I could desire.
I still hope for a second season to come out, to finally conclude this story in a better way, but considering how bad this special was received by the audience, and the low sales for the blu-ray and dvd copies of the anime, I think this is the end. I really, really wanted to love this special episode, but it’s probably the worst finale I’ve ever seen for an anime.
