It's great to see you bad with another update. Sorry for the late reply it's just that I've reading this over and over trying to convey my thoughts about this update. It was truly enjoyable, but words weren't coming to me during those few days. I'm confident that I nailed how I can give my review to you, so as usual I got ClariS playing, and let's get this started.
Ahem:
I'll keep this short and concise, so here it goes.
Spoiler for Swords and Guns Do Mix.:
With the final battle underway and the main boss getting read to make his appearance, it was awfully nice for Sayaka to break the tension Homura was facing regarding her issues with the battle, Madoka, and most importantly the fake "love" in general.
Sayaka truly found her place in the romance while the latter is still conflicting on how to deal with the matter. I really like how direct and bold they both were while at the same time keeping her seriousness of the upcoming fight intact.
The battle was amazingly written, the teamwork, powers and tactics, and Mami's using Trio Finale (with Hitomi's assistance), god I love that move.
Anyway, with the battle over and Madoka's future secure, Homura's conflictions and feelings were play a great deal in her development in this update. It was really amazing how she compared her cruel and cold methods of love towards her weak former self who couldn't do much in the past. It was really a touching scene because it made her realize her wrongs and is willing to make up for them by giving someone who genuinely want her, the proper love and care.
With Homura and Sayaka in a relationship alongside Hitomi, and I'm sure Kyoko and Mami, as well. It looks like we've entered the Madoka all alone ending. Just like Mami canonically "shudders", Madoka is getting this awkward feeling considering that she dropped her romantic feelings for Mami, rejected Sayaka's love confession, and Homura's feeling for her just came and gone. Poor Madoka, she just wants to be loved.
Grading time:
Spoiler for Pros:
The scenario finale was really excellent, the character emotions really spoke out to me, and the romance was paced really excellently. I'll give you a 9.5/10 for this one. Great work for such a long absence. Nice job, pat yourself on the back.
The pics in this update were really cool and cute too.
Phew, it took some doing and soul searching but I managed to get my thoughts and write my review to you to the best of my abilities. I hope you enjoy my review here and I can't wait for the next one, whenever that many be. Keep up the excellent work inside or outside the forums, so until then dude, until then!
