Episode 46!

-Very sweet moment from Geiz, saying he wants to stay with Sougo in this era together! The faceless Sougo is like, a really nice touch in the scene, though I can't really express why.

-It kinda felt like they were doing the thing where a character is just reciting a bunch of his catchphrases with Eternal :-(. His death scene was great though!

-Whoops! Aqua's dead, how unfortunate.

Hora getting killed is........ugh? Like if you wanted to kill Swartz this entire time, and actually cared for Heure, couldn't you have just assisted Sougo and Friends?????????? Nobody dead is better than both dead, after all!

-Man I don't even want to talk about Swartz this episode. So dull, so frusturating of a character!!

-Now I wasn't there was the show was airing nor have any deep insight from hearing production ramblings, but I always got the feeling that Zi-O was a very.....fluid series, behind the scenes? Like water, it doesn't have a set shape it will eventually settle into when solid, so you can unfreeze it and re-freeze it into new shapes, for better or worse? Like, I do appericate the show learning what worked and what didn't and course correcting itself for the audience as it went on (in the short-term), but as a result I think it couldn't bulid any other long-term plots up that didn't last more than an arc? Thus, here we are at this very weird-feeling endgame. That's just a personal theory, though!
