Polar Opposites: The show is still cute, but the accelerated pace this season has made it feel way more vignette-y. I much prefer when there's at least some on-going plot, even if it's as simple as the two characters trying to figure out how to ask each other out. And yes there's still that happening with Azuma, except I just dislike where her story is going altogether
Four Seasons: "Everyone is a traitor" stops being interesting after the second reveal, and barely squeaked by with that one by being a rival terrorist group that got caught in the crossfire unexpectedly
If Ruri was dead enough for her powers to transfer to the next agent, that should mean she's too dead for the resurrection magic to work on her. It's magic so they can pick whatever definition they want, but I do need them to pick one
Finally, Sakura gets to unleash her blade. She was just on Hinagiku's leash this whole time. The one-sided yuri was kinda fun, but I would've preferred the final confession to be a little more explicit in the subtitles. I'll just assume what Hinagiku was meant to say was "no matter how much she loves any boy, she loves Sakura more"
Overall I'm just disappointed, I think. The show could've been really good. It looked great, the character writing was good, and the performances were fantastic, but the overall conflict was basically meaningless. The villain was just a psychopath who wanted to burn down the world, and there's nothing narratively satisfying about that. Right at the end they tried to play lip service to the theme being about protecting others through self-sacrifice vs "protecting others" through incredible violence, but that didn't feel like it had gotten any support prior to that point
