Heavy Spoilers
God this show sucks.
My first thought was that it wasn't too bad, the story was interesting and I liked the world.
Then every episode is just kept getting worse and worse slightly until the big downfall of the last 2 episodes.
Over all the fight scenes were okay, they were short and didn't have too much strategy but it had decent animation.
A lot of the story got interesting but then took a strange turn for the worse in little ways that I thought were inconsistent or dumb.
The characters were alright, nothing too interesting to me, the story around the characters is what made them interesting not the characters themselves.
The animation is very inconsistent, sometimes it's smooth, other times it's very choppy/low-FPS, then randomly they will change the art style even when it doesn't make much sense.
All of these things got exhasterbated by the last two episodes.
------HEAVY SPOILERS------
------Last 2 Episodes-----
- They don't show half of the rapist being punished which why have the build up of making the audience have sympathy for her if you don't give a good pay off for it.
- She protects him from being killed even after being raped for 2 days straight and all the manipulation even when they were at the orphanage, and it's allowing him to do that to other children since he's still alive and has great influence over that village.
- He says that he'll kill the man if he sees him again but why stop in the first place then?... It seems like he stopped for her but it looks like her response of not wanting him dead isn't going to change so he's basically just saying that in the future he's going to ignore her feelings and kill him to fulfill his personal wishes.
- He pronounces his love for her after she's been raped for 2 days straight, why would anyone want to think about love and relationship after going through so much turmoil, a normal person in reality would just want to be comforted in the way that they personally want. And a lot of the time rape victims don't even want to be touched since it brings those bad memories back.
- He doesn't save her before going through that disgusting situation since he doesn't and he also doesn't kill him then it just seems like everyone is just giving their approval for him being a rapist.
- She just lets all of her guard down, letting him take her clothes and not even suspect anything or run away when he calls her to walk down the hall naked. She was able to beat up and escape from so many Maneaters and bandits but can't handle one person, basically just gutting her character and turning her into a helpless person when the whole season has been about her being strong, smart, resourceful and competent especially the constant comparison of competency to her friend and him constantly saying that she's better than him in so many ways.
- I'm still confused by the same questions when I started this show and they aren't even explaining most of them just so they can prepare for a second season which is stupid.
- I would've given this show a solid 5 or 6 out of 10 if it wasn't for these last two episodes.
