Wizard Episode 11: "A Promise to Protect Discussion"

Matrixbeast · 11-19-2012, 10:36 PM

Next episode being a Shunpei episode is probably the only reason why I'm gonna watch.
Beast better show up before the movie, because my interest in Wizard is waning fast.

Same for me. Beast is the only thing I look forward to at this point.

Overall I felt the episode was better than episode 10, and not bad by any means, but I will echo the statement that Haruto is a bit boring. I wish he would show a bit more emotion like in episode 9. I don't expect him to be an emotional wreck all the time, but something beyond saying "Pretty much" or "I will protect the gate no matter what" or whatever would be nice.

It's like Haruto is trying to pull off Tendou's disinterest and utterly failing.

I know this is awful to write, but I'm really hoping Wizard fails to save a Gate. If you're going to do a darker series, at least have your hero fail at least ONCE.

@ Den-O: I'll admit I was wrong about Dragon this episode. But until the series ends, I'm keeping my eye on him.

At what point was it stated this would be a "Darker" series?
Unless you're just comparing it to Fourze, because stubbing your toe would be dark compared to Fourze.

Anyway, no form of redemption for the Phantoms (Since all of them sans Cait Sith only want to further Medusa's/Wiseman's plans), no real personalities for them (Once again, beyond Cait Sith and Phoenix), and none of them are really noteworthy (AGAIN. Except Cait Sith. I swear, I'm going to hold his death against this series), Haruto is as dull as a plank, Shunpei only gets to be silly in the background (Except for next episode), once Rinko and what's her name (Forgot it, the doll chick) got over their little rivalry, they both just kinda stand around, and Wajima's only purpose is to make the plot devices.
Neither group of characters is interesting. I'm blaming the Phantom's lack of interest on Medusa (Who makes Kai look like an interesting and astounding character), so I hope she's the one to bite it during the late teens, early twenties...

I don't really want it to be darker than dark. Like you stated, I just want these guys to have personalities. Haruto is dangerously close to Gary Stu territory.

Part of why I liked Double, OOO, Fourze and Kuuga is because the characters did stuff. Not as much as a Star Trek character, but enough to the point where I can care about what goes down with them.

But Wizard is just like a bad Vegas show: All flash, no soul.

I'm definitely expecting Haruto to fail at some point. It's like how Gentaro failed to stop Kijima from becoming a Horoscope. One failure is inevitable.

Actually, I'm not entirely certain on that.
After all, these failures will result in the deaths of the gates. It's not a simple corruption.

I'm hoping that he'll fail but I seriously doubt it at this point.
