Review of Fena: Pirate Princess

Story: 4/10 I think the show was real good till the last ep. I was very curious to see the truth of Fena. The show started off feeling like a Disney type of Princess movie deal. We are in an alt world with pirates on wooden boats, however, the Goblin Knights utilize more mechanical equipment and have a submarine. I was fine with that aspect, not gonna lie. Then, we see Fena locating information about herself and the Navy and pirates going after her. Very formulaic. Then we see more mysteries involving her see through slab of rock, Joan of Arc comes into play, and somethingdealing with the Goblin Knights seeking a sword. Everything culminates to finding Eden, an island that Literally emerges from the sea which was pretty dope.
Fena and crew investigate the island and find old architecture. Amidst the caves, is loads of treasure. Again, something very typical but nice. And the Navy is closing in on them. Then we see a most beautiful dance from Fena on a weird floor that turns into a stairway. We then have a duel between Yukimura and the Navy dude, Abel. We see his history as well as Helena, Fenas mother. Abel perishes in battle and Yukimura is left wounded and we come down to Fena. THEN THE LAST EPISODE FUCKING APPEARS.
All this treasure hunting, and chasing around leads to this ep. To the point where Fena is supposedly one of the MAIDENS who must decide the Fate of Humanity. She must choose to destroy it now and experience rebirth or let humanity continue and experience extinction later on. ANd the people that give her the choices are the typical ones manifesting as other characters, her father and this guy Cody who we barely learn much about either.
These individuals seek to hear Fenas choice. Their goal is to increase the possiblities of certain futures. If she chooses to let humanity continue, the Goblin Knights face the possiblity of death in a violent way. IF she chooses rebirth, everyone dies and randoms pure souls are reborn on the NOAHS ARK which is present behind her all destroyed, to repopulate the world again. And the Maiden will be reborn with her loved one at her side. No matter her choice, her memories will be lost to ensure she still carries her bloodline else she wouldnt if she knew the choice she made.
Her and Yukimura have a tense moment as he cries out for her to not go away. And then she appears next to him with all her memories gone. It ends with people whom we thought were dead still alive, an allusion to lovers dead possibly rebirthed, Goblin Knights revisiting all the locations they been on and potentially reviving Fenas memories. We also hear Yukimura say "I love you" to Fena. I felt the pacing of the show was bad near the end. Too many questions were brought near the end such as who is trying to continue the bloodline, why did Fena have to even save the world, and why is the show called "Fena:Pirate Princess" when there did not feel like any pirating going on. It just left me unsatisfied.
Art: 8/10
The art itself is very polished. Character designs are nice and clean. Later, on it seems there is an inconsistency pertaining to blood. At one point, when people are slashed in midst of battle, it glistens and is bright red. Other times, blood in the same situation is just normal dark blood. Maybe this is to show effect for certain moments but it felt inconsistent.
Sound: 10/10
I do not know what to say. The music really hooked me. The OP/ED were all banger songs. I loved the OST of Fena. It really enchanted me
Character: 6/10
Aside from Fena, Yukimura, and Abel, every other character was one dimensional. That might make or break it for some people. I would have liked if there was more development on the goblin knights but I still liked their personalities.
I just liked Fena desire to change. In some eps, we see her wanting to find ways to help be a benefit to the Knights. She is characterized as someone who is beautiful and whom everyone flocks to which I agree. We see her and Yukimura stories intertwine. Abel backstory was kinda sad is all i can say. I think he was very much fixated on his lost love and couldnt get over it which was nice.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The show was nice. I was curious to see where the story would lead
Overall: 7/10
The show itself has wonderful art as well as an epic soundtrack. The whole show was on the formulaic side which can make or break for some people. The characters could have been fleshed out more but they were fine. I think the story was fine until the last ep with her being the center of Humanitys destruction. There was no build up to it and seemed out of place. I think more episodes would have been needed.
