Germanian Archives | 100 Word Anime

Review:

Well, at least someone in Izetta remembered that Jonas died and for half-a-moment that became an actual significant plot point and then we move on because now we have to create a sympathetic Germanian character before knocking him off (sorry, should have prefaced that with a spoiler alert but if you’ve been watching the show you probably saw it coming from the parachute drop). Izetta and Fine are still seeking an alliance and as predicted that is going to be as pleasant as expected. Fine really is a little too idealistic to be running a country and Izetta is completely clueless about politics. The only interesting development on that front was the run in with I’m guessing the pod girl and even that is clearly just set up for future events. The real action happened back at the old castle and while it was pleasant enough to watch, the only unexpected thing was the return of the cart driver at the end of the episode.

Okay, my love for this show died out a while ago and while I’m still hoping for a half-decent finish I’m getting more critical of it by the episode.

Izetta is available on Crunchyroll.

Review:

Izetta is still performing propaganda tasks but this time for the representatives of the allies because Fine still thinks they’ll offer help if she has something valuable enough. That said, it is obvious early on that there must be a traitor in the group because otherwise things are going to go too smoothly and sure enough their battle plan gets derailed when the Germanians know Izetta is coming. What I particularly liked about the Germanian plan is that they didn’t actually need to stop Izetta and accepted that she would probably succeed in her mission, but they would still succeed in theirs if they learned something about her power which (given the nature of how this show has introduced an exploitable point and then exploited it at every turn) they did. It’s a fairly fun episode to watch with only a very limited amount of down time where Izetta and Fine engage in a tickle fight and it kind of makes you want to see what the Germanians will try next.

Izetta: The Last Witch is available on Crunchyroll.
