Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion
-
I felt the toad fight was lacking. They need to have a consulting director who normally does shonen battle anime to call in for the occasional action sequences. (This one was worse than the Lord of Winter fight, but better than the trombe fight. But even the LoW fight was lacking pizzaz.)
The discussion with Eckhardt at the end speaks to a point I've made before: if the story was told with Ferdinand as the main character, Myne totally fills the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope for Ferdinand. Although he constantly complains, he really enjoys the chaos she brings into his life.
