Spoiler for Soraoto movie, end:
-Aphrodite was entirely skipped (Another Nymph power up skip?)
-Hiyori was installed some device that would rip time space in a large area, which would annihilate everything in the blast radius
-Ikaros attempts to sacrifice herself by trapping her and Hiyori in an Aegis field, unable to leave Hiyori alone.
-Tomoki joins them by hang gliding, and gives Hiyori her hair ornament back
-Hiyori regains her consciousness, but it is too late, and she hacks Ikaros a bit so she can leave Aegis field, and flies away after kissing Tomoki.
-*Boom*
I understand that Hiyori barely has a role after her arc, yet I'm really not happy with that change: past the problem with Nymph requiring another event to trigger Aphrodite in the upcoming third season, Hiyori could have been a support character (and heck, it will bring a lot of issue if Minazuki decides to bring her back for a big showdown in the future or something).
The mood itself is more on the bitter side, which is not what we are used with SoraOto, even if Minazuki has the knack at bringing depressing stuff.
Well, one may argue the last scene after the credits may tell otherwise, but frankly it may be as good as a red herring, especially Tomoki's reaction doesn't seem to be that relieved. Well, we might see that in the third season, still an issue for Aphrodite activation.
That's really a shame, because the movie itself has really a polished presentation, with good production value (extremely fluid animations etc).
And the pacing was quite good, with an interesting way to use a "recap", but from a complete different perspective.
I really wonder why AIC always has to screw up things at the end (Nymph being fooled by harpies, Uranus system in season 1, Chaos dragged stuff, more random stuff with Uranus system in season 2). OTZ |
What Nymph power skip?
I remember seing her use Aphrodite during the Chaos battle.
