Blog Entry: Heaven's Memo Pad & Unchained Blades
Here's one of my rare blogs that's too long for Twitter. I finished watching Heaven's Memo Pa, it has pretty animation, though not wow. The plot is episodic and nothing grand, but it is over all entertaining. My favorite character is definitely the Forth, he's the only one that really stands out to me. The main boy reminds me of the main boy from DRRR!! As for Alice, she's another detective like L, unmatched yet odd. Her cases are not as big as L's though and neither is her fame, but they are both peculiar detectives, though Alice has her own style with plushies and noodle-less ramen. I's only 12 episodes long so if you're in the mood for something somewhat entertaining with cute animation and more slice of life than anything else, have a look.
Got to Clunea's Temple in Unchained Blades. I'm pretty sure that's the final dungeon. My favorite characters are Fang, Lucius, Canhel and Mari.
Beware of Unchained Blades spoilers!
The whole Fang x Tiana hint? Saw it coming from a 10 miles away, but it was poorly done. I can see them working something out while throwing fire balls at each other, but sitting down to watch the stars? Totally out of character for both of them. Tiana realized Fang's true identity as the dragon emperor she had always admired, but the realization wasn't something that affected him much. A few chapters ago who acted clueless about the dynamics of males and females, a few less chapters ago he kind of seemed to be into Lapis. They could have worked things out with them forming an alliance after achieving a mutual respect, but the way they threw characterization away on that one scene sucked, the same conversation at a more character appropriate setting with a clear hint of the impatience that characterized both of them through the whole game would have been better.
What I hope for in the ending is a hint of closure. Not expecting it, but hoping for it. Hector and Mari seemed to have been left as is, which is okay. Lapis has faded into the background, which is too bad because despite her annoying over the top fan service, she was funny. The Phoenix clan dilemma was left hanging entirely and Lucius past along with Sylvie's role in it where left in secret. There's another chapter left so there's still time. I also still need to track down 2 more dragon kings. I have Echidna & Canhel so far. I've been watching series while playing so the game hasn't felt like it's taking that long, though the hour counts says otherwise as I've accumulated over 50. Plot wise, it's been amusing, yet it feels like it's too soon for it to end, probably because the characters spent the first 3 chapters split into 3 groups and it would have been nice to see them interact more.
