Review of Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2
Huh. I was expecting more reviews. No worries, I'm here now :D Very quick. Visuals. It depends on what version you're watching. The first episodes (was it 6?) had horrendous animation and designs, so they pressed STOP and started again. Not that the v2 is flaws free (too dark and other problems as such). The audio is ok. Some interesting ED (song and visuals), OP is meh. The VAs did ok. And now, the story itself. Well, it is bad. A lot of plot contrivances are in place to move the plot from point A to point B. For example: "oh no, we must return to thepalace immediately to protect the queen". Arrives at the palace, stops before entering, "to extinguish fires", arrives too late in the room. Lets the "evil guy" grab someone, "its ok, the door can't be open except if...". So ofc it will be opened. The "guy" leaves with said someone, "oh, no. how come?". Sees a car, "it must be them", follows them. Then, she has a breakdown "how did all this happen?". Geeee, I wonder... And there is more nonsense like this.
I don't know the sauce, I don't care about the sauce. I'll assume it is mostly the same (because otherwise its a different show), so that means the author is dumb. Unfortunately I don't remember much details from the 1st season, so there might also be some plot holes. I won't be bothered to check it out. Wanna talk about character development? Sorry, 404. What the author feels about that is round-up to "see? everyone has layers". Fkin' cheap tricks..... You wanna talk about romance? You know, one of the main attraction points of the 1st season? Too bad. Maybe in the next one.
In short, don't bother. If you already saw the 1st season, you could watch this, just to see where the story is going (assuming there will also be a 3rd season), but don't expect much.
I'm giving it a 4 for the... I don't even know. For the designs, some good animation, some (very very rare) decent fight choreography, ED, maybe some cute moments (also very rare). No rewatch value. No, not even to refresh my memory when/if the 3rd season will air.
Have a lovely evening.
