Looking back, moving forward.
So it ends with Veronica sacrificing herself in her atonement for her misguided revenge, and with some help from Free, who made quick work of Griff with Wolfram's help. Marlya was able to reach out to the Divine Beast as such sent it back to where it came from. And then a long rebuild of the town commences, but before that Marlya is back in Suna to mourn her best friend's death as she vows to move on into the future. That was a solid way to end this, though Veronica's death just felt cheap and things would have been much better if she had survived. Anyway, it ended the way it's supposed to do given everything that has happened.
Overall, while this show is great on the technical side of things, the storywriting and plot have big problems that were on display in the first half, but mostly cleaned up in the second half. P.A. Works continues to deliver with high quality animation, while the soundtrack is amazing, the action scenes are great, and the characters have decent development. But on the flipside, this show is plagued by poor pacing and trying to bite on more than it could chew as the first half really dragged, leading to a second half that was rushed and wouldn't need to be if the first half didn't drag. But above all, this show was so hard to follow, which became less of a problem in the second half as the much-needed break was used well. In any case, this is a show that will turn many viewers away with its first half, while those who made it through are in for a satisfying second half.
