Mahiro was so lying about picking up a chick. He was a siscon level was over 9000.Originally Posted by Archangel
My favourite thing about this show (as I've said before) is the way we explored the relationship between Mahiro/Yoshino as well as their relationship with Aika. The whole thing started with them, and ended with them. That's what I like to see.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think the chick actually shows up in the manga though, i remember seeing her in the raws.
I honestly liked everything about the show, from the characters to the setting. I'd rate it a perfect 10 if the ending after all the reveals had been just one tiny less predictable.
Yeah, a solid show that I enjoyed from the beginning till the end. At some point it was far harder to predict, so in that sense the ending was a bit disappointing considering the lack of originality, but as a traditional ending this wasn't bad. It's even better remembering this was the kind of ending Aika had in mind. If we think everything went according to Aika's plan, then this ending was just as solid as everything else.
Fortunately I never disliked Hakaze, so this left a good taste in my mind. Although... Just like the two cadavers of the Kusaribe village said, Yoshino is getting a girlfriend every bit as troublesome as Aika in Hakaze, just in different ways. But I guess that's fine, with adaptability apparently his greatest strength.
There was a rough spot for me near the middle where I thought this show wouldn't be worth keeping and might not even be worth continuing but it managed to pull through quite well and I'm glad I stuck with it. The typical anime ending was typical but overall I liked the show for everything else so I can deal. I was booing audibly when Yoshino ran to Hakaze like she was a glass of water after a few days in the desert but that's just how it goes. After such an awesome girlfriend as Aika it shouldn't surprise that when Yoshino finally managed to get on the rebound he ended up with a disaster.
I was holding out some small hope that when the Tree of Exodus showed up we'd get some hint of Aika as a final tribute to the fact that she is ultimately responsible for saving the word, but alas. Still, the video message, rather than a hand written letter, was nice touch as it gave Aika one last chance to be the Aika we know and love and troll Yoshino and Mahiro from the grave.
I was gonna say, Aika is the best troll character of all times. Only her could have those two stoic douches making that face.
I never expected her to come back though, she announced she would die and as with everything else it was so. The game master was never wrong, her own life was just another puppet in the play she was directing. So yeah, Hakaze end is ideal here.
Terrible, terrible show. No direction or focus, cliché characters ( I don't care if that was the point ) with dull visuals and audio all together for one hell of a deuce.
The premise was interesting, as were some of the details involving the magic, but the execution was lacking.
I always liked Hakaze, so this ending is great for me. I was afraid they were just gonna skip that conclusion completely.
Aika is just awesome. She fits the art of the show well too. Her plan may be selfish and stupid, but I guess it all worked out in the end.
Yoshino provoking Mahiro is always funny. He always comes out of nowhere.
If there is anything I didn't like about this show, it's the mage of Exodus nerd. Everything he was is like a convenient plot device.
Peace.
Just finished the series, and honestly don't know what I feel about it.
On one side it had some very refreshing aspects to it, on the other side it turned into a bit of a joke in the 2nd half and they greatly diminished the role of the main characters which was disappointing.
Overall quite pleased how events unfolded and what not, but I expected more out of it after the quite interesting and mysterious beginnings the show had.
I think the problem with this show is the 2nd cour just didn't have anything to beat the barrel debate, so it felt somewhat lackluster compared to the first cour.
The debate about the MC's girlfriend was pretty good, too, but just not as good as the barrel.
You're right.
And it needed much. much more Aika.
Peace.
