I'm fucking mad. I was genuinely excited about this show for a long while.

The ending was incredibly rushed, I almost expected it to have been

And then extend it to 26 episodes. The fact that it actually ended the way it did was baffling. And then STILL sequelbaits after that pathetic display. What do I have to be excited about in a sequel at all? I don't give a shit about anyone in the cast, the world sucks balls and I don't care about any of the conflicts or issues in it. After 13 episodes what the fuck do we know about literally anyone in this cast? Can you describe any of their personalities without saying what their role or appearance?

What the hell happened behind the scenes? How do you go from the polish of previous shows by Watanabe to this? The guy isn't a hack, I believe. I haven't been able to find really anyone he's been mooching off of in order to make the shows the way they are

I love her writing, but she didn't do the direction and storyboarding that were also highlights of Watanabe's previous work. Not to mention Wolf's Rain being total dogshit. It must have been some intervention of american producers. Watanabe is a genuinely skilled man, and I don't think he is yet washed up. We'll have to see the next thing he makes

3/10, the 2 points almost entirely being goodwill
