Review of Fena: Pirate Princess
You know the "three episode rule"? This show was a clear 10/10 at that point. Hell, I didn't even need three episodes, just a single scene from episode 1 of our goofy princess's "escape plans" or even a single frame of her angry expression was enough to win me over. It would have been a great show it it was actually about that goofy princess, or about travel and adventures, or about pirates vs. ninjas, or solving a legendary mystery, or any of the things the start of the show leads you to believe it is about. Instead, all those things turn out to be irrelevant,obviated by an absurd nonsense ending. It's impossible to explain or justify my disappointment with it without spoiling it, so I will just stop here.
I guess different people can handle that to different extents - just like willing suspension of disbelief for ignoring plot holes and weaknesses in other shows, perhaps some people can also ignore a bad ending and still enjoy the trip to get to it. Sadly, I can only do that for unimportant element, but not for the thing that the whole show builds up towards and should be centered around. Thus my verdict remains - don't bother watching it if you are not willing to forgive a massive disappointment eventually.
