I agree with a lot of what is being said in this thread. I think there is quite a lot of room to be critical of Gavv's flaws, but that the overall package is still quite good with a lot of notable strengths (action, direction, acting all being good strong points). The average score people seem to be giving it is 8/10 which I think is perfectly reasonable on a lot of levels.

I think this anon hits the nail on the head with a lot of their critiques. "Light Treats" would have been a wonderful character plot for Shouma throughout later Q3 and Q4, especially after the Wolf Granute episodes.

I do want to focus particularly on the plot with Shouma's uncle, Masaru. If there was an emotional storyline and character plot for Shouma that was building throughout Q4, this was it. You had all the major elements there. This was Shouma's last remaining human family member. There were repeated moments where the characters and the audience were confronted by genuinely tough questions in this specific situation relating to the show's overarching themes of honesty and the pain that can be caused by keeping secrets from those you love even if one thinks it is for their own sake.

This show had also up until this point excelled at having characters not be complete autistic noncommunicative Faiz-style retards. A lot of the best moments in this show were the characters sitting down to clear the air and cut through miscommunication and bullshit with eachother in a way that was quite refreshing compared to the relatively contrived character conflicts in some past shows.
