ACCA Episode 12 Review:

While I suspect not all will be thrilled with the way this resolved, for me it was the perfect way to end this story. At all times, things have been pretty laid back and resolved without much in the way of violence, and for the coup to end the way it did works perfectly in terms of being true to the feel of the story and characters. It probably would have been unnatural for this to end any other way.

There’s something immensely satisfying in seeing where the characters end up after the ceremony and while this journey was meandering at times, it doesn’t feel like any of it has been wasted. I fully enjoyed every moment of this story. You can read the full review here and I’m definitely going to rewatch this series later in the year just to see if it can stand up to a second watch (I’m still concerned that half the fun of this show will vanish when you know where it is going).

ACCA is available on Crunchyroll.

ACCA Episode 9 Review:

Part of me is really happy to find out in ACCA Episode 9 that Grossula is not the mastermind, but I’m not certain about the actual reveal. Sure it fits but it didn’t quite feel satisfying, mostly because we still don’t know what’s actually behind everything. Hopefully that reveal is coming soon.

Jean is all but absent from this episode though things certainly escalate as Lotta is forced to flee from would be assassins. However, in true ACCA fashion, this isn’t resolved through some sort of fight but merely a few words from the Chief with an implied threat and Lotta is momentarily spared.

This episode is intriguing and things are definitely moving. I just wonder what the final outcome will actually be.
