Yeh.

I got nothing positive to say about Wonder Voyage first ep.

It was just meh.

I didn't even find the opening and ending songs enjoyable, which is also meh lol.

Neat to see Amethio in the opening however.

But that was the place I checked for translated neeeews. Damn it.

I do not discuss leaks here!

Why is Cap not with Friede.

Wouldn't it make sense for Friede and Cap to be together now that all's well?

And narratively, why make Friede not return to RVT? I do kinda get why he'd want to help research in Exceed again but.... Without Cap? Who is also super tied to the Brave Asagi.

I just... really don't like how the fumbled it with Friede. It feels like they had different ideas until it was time for him to return and had to rewrite his reasons for not joining back. Like, maaan.

Friede also became way too focused on mega, on Roy, barely interacted with Amethio or the others since his return... it feels so bizarre. Uruto has fun adoration towards Friede which I like, but the rest has felt... off. To someone who absolutely loved Friede and his narrative before the end of year 2.

I'm glad HZ136 was this good.

I'm still disappointed with the unbalance of focus throughout the year, but I feel like this episode nailed it. Spinel got what he deserved too. And I still feel bad for the bastard. Shows how well they managed to make him a villain who loses it all in the end.

I cried at Liko's speech at Spinel, I cried at Blacky releasing herself from Spinel, I cried at Pagogo release.... gosh.

Rising Again and Mega Voltage had their issues, but I am so glad they managed to nail down the finale of the main story. Well done.
