#fugitive arc

.

"Do you remember when four-eyes met like 3 different neighbors and learned about a whole new culture that even chibi didn't know about because they're an errant nation?"

Haha thanks!!

I think the fugitive arc is my least favorite part of the rescue team games, and I knew from the start that I wanted to change it. Honestly, I probably could have gotten rid of the whole accusation part too and just had them go to Ninetales to try learning more about how to help Gardevoir or something. But I decided that having Gengar cause a scene would be a good way to drag Alex in, so I stuck with that.

Oh gosh, um… it started out okay, like the first episode was alright and had some promise but… to be honest, it’s not good at all. The characters are ooc to the extreme (Osamu suffers from this the worst), Toei does not understand how Trion soldiers work, they also don’t seem to know how to deal with the convenience of Jin’s Side Effect properly so they just cut him out of the episodes completely, the original characters are bland (Xeno is okay actually) and the antagonist is stupid, and in the newest episode they “revealed” a new “plot device” that is so un-WT like that it leaves you wondering whether Toei even knows what series they’re working with anymore.

I know that some people are enjoying it, but if you’re a die-hard fan of the manga and appreciate the work Ashihara puts into his characters and his world and his story, then this filler arc almost feels like a slap in the face. The ONLY good thing about the filler is that it’s keeping the anime on air for a longer period of time and thus giving the manga more runtime as well.
