  1. sigh…i was dreading that the anime would end up doing this. It’s not that big of a deal (considering rose’s role in the story doesnt get watered down), but this ep sort of compromised a bit of rose’s character to make alisha more badass, which is what i figured the anime would do to make up for the silly controversy that surrounded some of the decisions the game made. It was either the anime found a way to make alisha badass in alternative ways, or make her a badass in return for compromising some of the story elements of the game. While not too significant, it seems that the anime has chosen the latter and i dont really know how to feel about that. On one hand, it’s like “good job on making alisha more of a badass”, on the other hand, it’s like “damn, but in return, you took away something from a character who was arguably more badass and wise”. Plus it kinda takes away from the development alisha should have later on, but on that particular note, i think it’s too early to say that in regards to alisha’s arc so ill wait before casting my final judgement. In the end, i guess my small gripe with these developments is that they could have simply went about it in a different way and nothing would have been compromised…sigh.

    I guess it’s fine though; aferall, the game is it’s own narrative and so is the anime. If there’s something i dont agree with in the anime, ill always have the game’s storytelling choices to fall back on (yea, im one of the few peope who couldnt get behind why fans were so pissy about some of the story choices. The narrative was a bit underwhelming compared to other “tales” games, but not for the narrative reasons people were crying about). Without that though, this was another by the numbers ep of zestiria. Nothing special (or even noteworthy) in terms of writing, characters, or drama, but nothing bad either

    1. Since I know nothing of the game and Rose and Alisha’s portrayal in it, this was clearly another “ignorance is bliss” situation for me.
