User blog:Gundam Legilis/WOR: The Four Maidens In Depth (and WOR in general)

''fatmanfalling style parody. Not personal attacks.''

Hello everybody!

With the conclusion of WOR's second season, we now look back at what happened.

The Four Maidens is heartwarming, but ... ultimately redundant.

It's basically a retelling of the story, but longer. The animation and music are nice (barring Winter's design, she looks as old and haggard as the wizard himself), but the narration when quoting the female characters reminds me of the Bionicle reboot, like here:

Pay attention to the character in blue, that's Gali, the female Master of Water.

Episode 6 was more than sufficient to deliver the exposition in one-seventh of the WOR's time. Hell, the WOR should be released as a standalone episode.

Also, I can't believe how they switched up the Maidens' color palettes.

In terms of the WOR in general, they also run into the same problem. Sure, there's slightly more info than last year, but it's still an ongoing problem.

See, we already can tell what Dust, Grimm, and Kingdoms can do. And stuff like the CCT can be easily explained with a few lines of dialogue and visual exposition, just like in episode 6.

What we need is info on the biology and origin of Faunus, or a general summary of what happened in The Great War (i.e. who won or who lost).

Apparently, this shouldn't be too hard to do, even if RT wants to avoid spoilers that much.

I hope that RT will tackle on uncharted territory for next volume's WOR.

Thoughts?
