Review:
Oh, they finally reunited and just to be sure we don’t forget that Zero is supposed to be a sassy young witch almost her very first words to the Mercenary make us wonder why he bothered spending all that time climbing a cliff.
Firstly, this is clearly a lie given she does need someone to save her or she wouldn’t still be sitting around in a tower. Secondly, Zero does not pull this off very well. Some characters do an excellent job of giving the guy the cold shoulder but in Zero’s case it just kind of comes off as a half-hearted attempt to make her not seem like a damsel stuck in a tower because that wouldn’t be cool at all.
Obviously, my biggest issue is I just don’t much care about either of these characters so their touching reunion didn’t do much for me.
Still, I did get one moment of genuine happiness while watching this episode.
There’s something about convoluted insults that just appeals and this one was well deserved given Thirteen is insane and his plan is ridiculous. Pretentious is actually the perfect term for his entire being. I just had to appreciate this moment.
Oh yeah, and Holdem and Albus are in trouble but then some old witch just lets Holdem go. For some reason the Sorcerers of Zero haven’t killed Ablus yet and are taking her with them (no explanation as to why).
This is coming to a close and I’m kind of happy about that. It isn’t unwatchable but I’m not really into it either.

I agree with you. It is not so bad and it has some sweet elements that I like but still not one on the must watch list
It’s kind of a shame because it is really pretty and there was a fairly decent story idea here. It’s just not really pulled off very well.
