Just really felt like there should have been a lot more to the characters and their backstories than we got
and I had trouble truly loving any of them. Every single fight scene with Fuma or Titas was extremely fun, though! Would love to see main Ultras dabble in very different fighting styles the way these two did.
I still stand by a statement I think I made earlier in this thread that Taiga should've been a full 50-ish episode series in an ideal world. The other New Generation shows all feel very confident in the nice compact stories they get to tell, but Taiga is just bursting at the seams with plot threads and concepts that don't get enough time to breathe on-screen.
It ultimately chooses to ignore a lot of it to keep the focus pretty strictly on EGIS in an effort to compensate, which I don't think was a bad move -- I loved all those characters, their dynamics often reminded me of a Yasuko Kobayashi series, and Kana is literally the best -- but it's a shame we couldn't get even more than we did. There's not a lot of real resolution for Tregear, Titas and Fuma's backstories were left to the voice dramas, which are
amazing
, but that's kind of a problem when it's off to the side. That three-part origin for Fuma is without question my favorite thing to come out of the entire series. The way it fleshes out his personality is just incredible... and none of that ever comes across in the show itself. Taiga frustrates me specifically because it's a great series that could've been so, so much greater.
And speaking of so much greater, good to see you're still enjoying Mebius, Kiwami! I'm glad you finally get to know what Hikari was like before he was a cheap plot device to represent Bandai.
