? Not sure whether I’d watch a sequel, if it got one. The plot felt very rushed, allowing little time for character development… more than anything, I feel let down by what sounded like it would be a decent anime.
#ZANKYOU NO TERROR EPISODE 9 DISCUSSION SERIES#
The episode had some good fight scenes, hence why it didn’t place last, but TBH the action (and that ending theme, sadly absent from the final episode) was about the only thing the series had going for it from the beginning. In which the main antagonist was killed by two virtually naked esper siblings who we’d never seen before… hmm. Now onto a show that didn’t really manage to make its final episode plot twists work… Tokyo ESP. In the Red Zone… not even the penguin can save you now! Technically Earth’s UFE won the fight, but with no Aldnoah power and no strategic genius left to them, it’ll be interesting to see how they defend themselves from Vers’ inevitable retributions! If Slaine ends up filling his vacancy as main character in the next series, he’ll have a lot of work to do to win me over. ?Īldnoah Zero‘s ending wasn’t really an ending either, just a collection of huge plot twists designed to make us look forward to the sequel ( this one’s official)… but I’m fine with that! This episode didn’t leave me with many positive thoughts about Slaine – who’d have thought that saving Saazbaum, the guy whose sole intention was to kill Princess Asseylum and start a war with Earth, would lead to Asseylum getting killed by Saazbaum!? ? Then he goes and kills our protagonist Inaho, who I was just starting to like. If this series does get continued, he should be a much more fun protagonist second time around.
The end result of this was Kaneki suddenly becoming badass, and subjecting Jason to his own torture methods before consuming him.
Instead, we got a whole episode of Kaneki being subjected to physical, mental and emotional torture by Jason, interspersed with flashbacks to his younger childhood with his mother, and discussions with his inner Rize about how he would always be weak if he didn’t learn to sacrifice one thing for the sake of another. The duel between Saazbaum and Inaho was fantastic.Ĭoming out of nowhere to take 1st place is Tokyo Ghoul! Amazingly, it didn’t even try to wrap up the ongoing story – The conflict between the Kirishima siblings, the crazy antics of Suzuya Juuzo and Gourmet, and all the other Anteiku vs Aogiri Tree vs CCG battles are all going to have to wait for the sequel ( which may or may not be happening).
