I find it interesting how closely Rebecca's grades match Carl Kimlinger's.

...not enough Morgiana...


I don't care if the second half of the second season is markedly improved, there's no way I'm picking the season up again if Morgiana hardly appears.

I didn't look at Carl's review until after I had posted mine, and I was surprised too. Um, great minds and all that? Laughing

The Morgiana thing was a major disappointment for me, so while I really enjoyed this, I can't blame you. She's one of my favorite characters in the original (13th century) book, and I enjoy the way the show has taken her first incarnation and transformed her.

Agree, deus ex machina is quite cheap plot device. However, the story overall is so great that it makes this series one of the most entertaining anime of the genre, ever; anime at its (nearly) best.

It is unclear if the series will ever have continuation, but it would be interesting.
