Que historia de amor tan trágica y hermosa nos trajeron a este anime, puede que suene un poco a cliché pero a mi me encantó y más el diseño de personaje. Antel se levanté y pelee por el amor de su amada además de no rendirse ante nada. Al principio Serena me daba un poco de rabia pero después de conocer su historia, todo tuvo sentido, pobrecita.
Really gorgeous animation and soundtrack from this episode, and it was a beautiful conclusion to supposedly rival singers. It also showed how complications and pressure can influence people's feelings, and the worldbuilding is as beautiful as both the soundtrack and animation was in this episode.
Ok, the music was carrying this episode really hard. And I don't mean that it comes at the expense of other production elements, it's just I have never seen anything quite like this before. It's emotionally moving in ways that you can't just explain. I have seen other shows that have tried doing the same thing before, but it's different here. Nothing prepared me to get engaged this deep on a mini-arc of an anime. Admittedly, I'm out of words to describe what happened in this instance, I can only recommend that you watch it. Undoubtedly one of the most memorable experience I ever had watching a series like this.
