Category: Finished Series: Action

Oh my god… you just can’t help but feeling sad, shocked and angry along with the characters. Something aweful happened in the past of La’Cryma, which probably involved Haruka sacrificed herself for something inevitable. All of the friends she had in the past are having trouble with seeing Haruka again. This effect is only strengthened if you know that she (having the Dragon Torque, and all) must be sacrificed again, in order to protect La’Cryma.

The visuals are amazing as ever. From the character design, to the special effects and to the huge monsters, everything looks amazing, but I really have to give muchas kudos to the artists for drawing the characters while shocked, sad and angry. You really can’t help but feeling along with them.

It’s just a bit annoying to see this awesome tension being broken when peaceful world comes into picture again. It isn’t as bad with Yuu, as I just love seeing him broken like that (call me sadistic, but the effect works really well), but rather when the others are in the image. I don’t know, but somehow, it doesn’t really fit.

This episode, being the first that mostly took place in La’cryma, had a lot of explanations about this certain timespace. I have to say, I like it. There’s no wonder why the big guy talked about the peacefullness of the other dimension, as La’crima is a place with nothing but suffering. The creators also did a good job at balancing the suffering, so that it doesn’t become too overly done.

I only have to say, that this dimension is based a bit too much on coincidences. It seems that everyone of Haruka’s friends is going to play some big role of some sort. Of course, this offers some great story opportunities, but still. A little more randomness could have been okay. But still, the cliffhanger at the ending of this episode really made me hungry for more.

This is another very interesting show. The art is unique, creative and it looks awesome. It has also one of the better stories around. I’ve really liked it up till now.

This episode was no exeption to this, and it may have been the best episode yet. The tensions are growing high, and former allies start fighting each other. We furthermore learn that something very tragic is going to happen to Haruka, which made me very curious about what that might be. Also, the way the man and the woman (can’t remember their names right now) find out about Haruka has been done extremely well.

I’m looking forward to the next episode.
