Star Driver Finale (Spoiler free)
This is how I feel about Star Driver after watching the last episode.
The good:
→minor characters (Sakana, Daddy, Prof. Green!!)
→animation
→soundtrack (Monochrome ~version de l'apprivoiser~)
→background story (Head, Mizuno, Adult Bank)
→references & foreshadowing
The bad:
→Takuto
→Sugata
→Wako
→pacing!!!
→presentation of the main story
→too many unnecessary loose ends
Favorite episode: Episode 5, Prof. Green's love story is adorable and hilarious.
In case you dropped it after Sakana-chan left, the relevant episodes to understand the finale are 6,7,8 - 11 - 12 - 14,15,16 - 20 - 22 - 24,25. You can pretty much skip all the other episodes. I really liked how the background story connected the minor characters, however, I didn't feel emotionally involved and attached to the main trio at all.
Epic? No. It could have been great, the well-planned plot was always there, but the main story just fell a bit flat in the end: Good writing, but bland main characters.
