Man, what the heck... Well, that was a wild final episode. What a way to end the anime! The twists were insane, and everything just threw me off...in a good way, though! LOL. The whole corruption plotline really had me intrigued, and I actually really enjoyed this. The characters were very likable, and this was a bittersweet end. Overall, I enjoyed the vibes and the music, and I wish more people knew about it.
This had me on the edge of my seat... The tension during the coronation built up so well. Noelle is easily my favorite character. I love how cliché she is—I don't care, what she did was powerful. 😭 I'm a bit stressed over the sudden shift in the dynamic of the show, though. 🤣 Overall, this was very intense and dramatic, and I look forward to the final episode.
HUH? What was that episode... 😭 The corporate politics are getting incredibly messy, and everything that happened just had me emotionally distressed. LOL. We're nearing the end of the anime, and I'm anticipating what's about to happen next. Also, there could be some romance too? Watch and find out! 🤭
Things are starting to get more serious again. We get some lore about the royal family, and you can tell the puzzle pieces are starting to fit. There's so much political tension, and it just keeps getting intense. Something tells me things are about to become even more dramatic.
This episode was a bit slower paced and there's lots of dialogue. It can get boring if you're not into the whole drama or politics aspect of the show, but I personally think it was okay. I just wish they had executed it better to make it more engaging. Rowe really shined in this episode, though!
Our duo goes on a different mission despite the Angel issue still ongoing. This time, we go back to the more chill, episodic antics. We get glimpses of Noelle's new life as the princess and some political conflict brewing. Overall, this was still pretty fun if you like the usual espionage and fighting parts. There's still important information here.
The episode picks up from where we left off last time as we witness the consequences of Cloud 7 failing their mission. Angel is still a threat, and Noelle makes a comeback. We get to actually see how Ivory Island and its people are. This makes you remember that our duo works for a corrupt family, so I wonder how that's gonna go... Something big happens, but of course I'm not gonna spoil it. This is definitely an important episode.
Okay, wow. Information overload. I had a hard time understanding everything that was happening with how fast it was. We get introduced to someone connected to Jack, and things escalate from there. The episode is heavier than usual, and it makes me wonder if future episodes will follow a continuous plot now.
"That's right" in fluent English always makes me chuckle a bit. I usually have a hard time catching up when an episode goes fast, but the pacing of this was a bit better. It's another one of their usual missions, but this was pretty wholesome, in a way. It makes you realize everyone has someone they care about. It's pretty chill and nice to watch if you're just in it for their usual antics.
The little monkey... 😭 Give him to me right now! 😭 This episode was a bit more slow-paced and had less action compared to the previous episodes, but it shows a different side to Jack and Rowe. We meet a new character and I get the feeling we'll be seeing her again. Overall, the episode is more on the emotional side. Nothing special happens, but it's probably crucial to the story since this whole thing with the missing princess is the only recurring thing mentioned every episode.
"Romantic comedies are not allowed" made me laugh. 😭 We meet more of the other characters Jack and Rowe work with, and I appreciate that they're not too serious and can be playful too. Maybe a little too playful, even? Their antics can get a bit ridiculous, but it's a nice episode if you're just looking to watch something chill but action-packed with good music.
That intro went kinda hard, I'm not gonna lie. I really loved the opening song! It gave me that feeling you would only get from watching old anime, maybe while listening to some city pop because of the aesthetics of the show. The plot isn't anything special, but the whole vibe and even the music really makes you want to watch more. Pretty cool first episode.
As the final episode, Episode 12 successfully delivers a highly satisfying resolution that stays true to the series' identity from the very beginning. Instead of serving up a cliché ending with over-the-top explosions, this finale chooses a path that is more elegant, classy, and rich in neo-noir atmosphere.
This episode successfully delivers a sense of constant tension, leaving the audience eager to jump straight into the final episode.
The main strength of this episode lies in how the characters' loyalties are tested under immense pressure. Difficult choices must be made, and the audience is treated to a highly mature psychological drama.
Entering Episode 9, L/R finally steps on the gas toward the final chapter of the story with an incredible escalation of conflict. This episode successfully integrates complex political espionage elements with personal character drama in a well-balanced way
Visually, this episode is highly atmospheric, with its depiction of the night and the shadow play that heightens the neo-noir feel. The use of rhythmic jazz background music during crucial moments once again becomes the main star, building the tension perfectly.
This episode successfully keeps the audience hooked and ends with a strong sense of urgency to watch the next episode.
