In fact, the term Michael used in the finale for Maria was actually "good neighbor", a term Jesus used for the good Samaritan - a person not of your faith who continues to live justly and is deserving of love and respect. Maria is still expressly outside the Church, God has simply acknowledged that she is righteous of heart. Nothing in that scenario implies she would be allowed to keep her abilities upon losing her virginity, and in fact, she had come to terms with the fact she'd lose them in episode 11 when she decided to enter a relationship with Joseph. |

That's more than disappointing. But, bad marketing probably played a part here too. The manga already finished too years ago, so they should have really stepped up the marketing to attract those readers back to watch the anime. This one went pretty much under the radar leading to the winter season.

I really don't see what Maria was trying to accomplish. I would root for her, if she did things more smartly, but she just comes off as foolish for doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting different results. She could have avoided a whole lot of the trouble on herself and others if she just acted more discreetly. However, she keeps arriving in all the battlefields, basically saying "stop fighting" and using force. This is the epitome of the reason Kira and the Archangel in GSD got a lot of flak, when they only did this twice.

Actually old Ann's narration said that "she was a witch" but this doesn't means she lost her power.
Old Ann said Maria wasn't using her power because the war was over, I think. Cernunnos said "She will eventually become like me". Note: Cernunnos is forgotten old God. This suggest that she is not ordinary human, regardless of the Last Judgment. And to begin with, main plot of this story is that some virgin witch has same name of the Virgin Mary. As you know, the Virgin Mary gave a birth as a virgin. If author was Christian, he'd never portray his character as same as the virgin Mary but I don't think author is a Christian. So, in conclusion, I don't think Maria lost her power. Last edited by revive4563; 2015-05-01 at 05:22. Reason: I mean |
