Honestly, yes, we saw the ending coming. If you were going to be so filled with anger about it that you're posting about randomly destroying your own property,

If you actually thought real people are
really going to smash their precious monitors and laptops for this show, you've got bigger problems than us.
We saw the general ending, but it could have been executed so much better.

why are you still watching, and even dedicating time posting on a forum about it?

Momentum, and there is a perverse joy in b*tching about something. Oh yeah, and even though hopes are waning, we are still hoping beyond hope for improvements.

Every single week lately the threads on this forum seem to consist of a few pages of brief discussion from those who saw the episode when it aired, closely followed by several pages of complaining from people who haven't even seen the episode, then followed by pages more complaining when they have.

Well, there is a reason for it. Did you notice that actually watching the episode did not improve our opinions of it?
While we are at it, if you don't like such threads, why are you participating and b*tching about them?

This isn't epic masterpiece on military tactics, it's a magical girl show.

Actually, the farce that's happening now isn't even a magical girl show.
It'd be hard to find a magical girl show, for example, that shafts the third heroine (Hayate) as horribly as MGLN StrikerS does.
Most magical girl shows may not know much about tactics, but at least they know to try to stick together when charging into the enemy's hideout in the Final Battle. It'd be hard to find a magical girl show that so deliberately sets up its protagonists for maximum un-necessary grief in the Final Battle.
In most magical girl shows, the girls run into grief in the Final Battle due to strong enemies that are tough to beat even if they are all together. If they are separated, it is because the enemy blasted them apart with a storm. Here, the grief is self-inflicted.
Further, MGLN did not get its current popularity, at least IMO, by being a mere magical girl show which is honestly done to death. It bought its popularity by integrating new elements like sci-fi and a military structure. Do that and you attract more guys, but unless they are shallow turds here only for moe, they take out a longer marking sheet with more items. Thus, if you want to set up our girls as Officers in a paramilitary organization, we take out pens to mark for tactics and command ability. Don't want that? Don't set it up that way.

A heterochromic girl saying mama and generally looking adorable who, gasp, doesn't get huge amounts of character development? Um, this is a magical girl show, she doesn't NEED any more reason to be there.
|
Well, she by herself is only harmless cuteness. Even though she's empty, she would actually have been liked had she not been
crowding out other, more valuable characters' Character Development as well as the
Plot Development. She got too big for her station, and that's a big no no for any genre and the real reason for all the death wishes aimed at her.

Maybe when this is over many people here will finally realise that apparently this show isn't for them so if somehow season 4 emerges they won't bother. Those of us who enjoyed it greatly for what it is can only live in hope.
Around here, probably. Otherwise nope, you're not

I guess the 2-chan otaku who only care about moe will agree with you.
I'd be glad if someone could check the TL too, friend of mine did it and wasn't sure on everything.
