Curse you Fail!DVDs! & Thoughts
So, apparantly I need to stop buying Anime DVD's from that brand because ... ... That's three series I've got now and the subtitles turn to shit in the end. First Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and then Kaichou Wa Maid Sama!, and now ... now Katanagatari - at episode 11 as well!! For crying out loud, I wanted to finish that series tonight!
So ... I'm downloading the final two episodes as I write this - 6 Minutes remaining. I'm kinda worried cause I'm just getting this feeling it's not gonna be a happy ending. I know it's gonna be epic - the rest of the anime has been so far ... But ...
While I'm on topic .... I don't suppose any of you guys know where I can DL the final three ED songs? I've got up to Episode 9's ED, but 10-12 I can't seem to find ... Annoying.
... ... ...
And now that I've seen the end of the series ... my thoughts.
Okay the final battle - omfg. YESSSSSSS. These are the anime battles I've been missing! It was epic and Shichika he was just ... I can't even put it into words. He was fucking OWNAGE
... However ... ... I just knew something was going to happen to Togame and ... WHYYYYY I wanted it to be a happy ending! That is the only thing I have to complain about with the series. That Togame died, and that we don't even get a hint that she and Shichika meet up again in the next life or anything.
It annoys me that in her final moments she tried to tell Shichika that everything was a lie. Bull-fucking-shit you were going to kill him after the journey ... You were just telling him that so that he wouldn't try to avenge you, weren't you? Your final scheme - trying to get Shichika to live even though you're gone. HA! Well, at least she admitted she did care for him at least ...
But Shichika ... Oh. My heart was breaking during the entire castle scene. He was like a zombie - a sword without a soul, if you will. And how he was all "I came here to die" ... I'm sorry, was I the only one who read that as "I want to die so I can be with Togame again"? I mean, jeez man ... He was amazing, and he completely owned all the idiots trying to oppose him - and with hollowed out eyes like that, lord knows I'd be going "Oh hell no. Here's the sword. Break it. I'm going home" - but he was also ... Dead. It was like he died when Togame died.
In that regard they are a deliciously tragic pairing but ... I just hoped for something a little more hopeful in the final-final moments. Like ... In what looked like the afterlife, maybe a snapshot of Togame and Shichika together?
Well, he's following her dream and trying to make a decent map of Japan I guess - and dayamn, that boy was hot with those scars. - so you know that he hasn't let her go. And I'm fairly sure he has that part of her hair tied to his waist still - which is sweet in a way. It's his way of keeping her close - ... But why the hell is that annoying woman following him around? You lost your subordinate Hitei, go find somebody else to follow >.>
I'll tell you what moment really broke me though - and trust me, there were alot of "Oh gods. I feel like I'm gonna cry" moments, but this one .... When Shichika is fighting Enmonzaemon and Zeamon's all "Huh. Well done for dodging the bullets" ... "I didn't. Togame said to protect myself, but I don't need to anymore" Oh lords. It was just heartbreaking to see how ready he was to die.
So, in the end ... I'm really satisfied with this anime - I really, really am - and it remains an anime I would reccomend to anyone I know because the entire thing is just amazing it's just ... ... I do wish it wasn't so heartbreaking and bittersweet in the end. If Togame has to die in order for Shichika to be that kick-ass (in a really "Awwws! Poor thing. He's lost without her" way) ... then fine. But give me a god damn hope they end up together in the next life at least! Ugh!
This demands fiction. It just needs something so that you know their time together wasn't a waste ... ... I also really want to re-watch the final half of the episode to see Shichika's ownsome again ... ... Maybe I'll watch it again tomorrow. Right now, I need to fic ...
Definately one of my top anime's though. Imo, it tops Bleach and Naruto.
Oh gods yes! And now I can get icons without spoiling the series!
