Fog Hill of Five Elements 2nd Season · review
The folks watching Fog Hill are honestly brain-dead; that said, this season wasn't too shabby. There's another review out there with mixed feelings, and folks blasted the guy with 24 perplexed emojis. It's honestly hilarious because the ones claiming this is a masterpiece are delusional. The initial season was action-packed and genuinely intriguing. However, its major flaw was the story's scale. In just 3 episodes, they crammed so much lore alongside the fights and everything else. The second season was more about exposition than some full 12-episode seasons of other shows. To truly build up these three seasons, they should have at least 24 episodes. Iffolks are evaluating shows solely based on animation, well, this is probably the anime GOAT. But if we're trying to be objective and unbiased beyond the flashy action scenes, then we can provide a fair assessment.
The fights were insane, especially in the last episode; things got lit. I wasn't invested in the story for the first 3 episodes of season 2, but that episode managed to grab my attention. The person who reviewed this and gave it a 9 is out of their mind. It's honestly amusing(in a bad way) how many plot holes we encountered; it's as if the director is trying to mimic Link Click with how that show unfolded, dishing out tons of plot while keeping us in the dark about most of the major plot points. I get that the first season had a minuscule animation team of only 9 people, and in terms of production, it was astounding. The final fight was phenomenal. What I'm critiquing is the story and plot, nothing more, nothing less. Having said that, I'm looking forward to how everything wraps up in the last season.
