Episode 14: Final Approach
If this really and truly is the final episode, then I have some rather mixed feelings.
Like, yes, there's definitely a feeling of finality here. Reaching Sydney, finishing off the Kaiju Sisters, Boy retaining his humanity, and Taylor and Hayley discovering what happened to their father.
But, at the same time, there's a handful of things left unresolved or unsaid. And unlike the first season's' finale wherein I felt that all of the major stuff was handled, now with season 2, alot more has happened, alot more has changed, and the things left out feel rather important(atleast to me).
The two main offenders being the backstories of Mei and LOA. While sure, you can make some solid headcanons out of what few context clues we're given, neither character arc gets any sort of definitive push or closure. Especially in the case of LOA who, by all accounts, can probably never get her arc resolved, even if a third season should emerge.
And maybe I'm just a sadistic jerk, but the ending almost felt too happy for me? Like, the scene of the crew reaching Sydney heavily mirrors the dream sequence from last episode, to the point that I was expecting it to suddenly cut to black and have it turn out that everyone actually died in the end. Now don't get me wrong, I'm overall happy that that isn't what happened, it the thought did cross my mind as I was watching.
The pacing also felt a bit rushed too, especially those final few minutes, but that's something I feel season 2 in general kinda has a problem with and I'll elaborate a bit more when it comes to the final thoughts post.
All that aside though, like I said, they definitely tried to insert an overall feeling of finality in all of the events that go down in this episode, and yeah, they succeeded for the most part. Atlas Destroyer getting a sendoff similar to Gypsy Danger and Gypsy Avenger, a Breacher being the final boss, Boy taking hold of his freedom, and Mei showing how she's changed as a person. That stuff was all handled pretty well, and in that regard, I really can't complain too badly. And in the end, I suppose that's what matters.
Final thoughts on the show as a whole coming in 12+ hours.
