When we all thought
that this series will be about the Arcana Duello, we were all stand corrected
when the 2nd episode turned out to be a cat-searching episode. I'm not entirely
surprise at how disappointing this turned out but I hate the idea that the first
episode actually showed some promised and ended up as false-hope.
Now on with my
thoughts for this episode, after last
episode's back story on Libertà, we finally get some development or a look
on Nova's back story. For some reasons, whatever J.C Staff is doing in this
series, it doesn't seem to make me feel sorry for how supposedly sad or pitying
Nova's story was. Sure his parents used him and all to be able to rule over
Regalo but how this was presented and how he seek refuge over Mondo and Sumire
wasn't even a bit moving at all.
Going over with the
current situation, Nova said that his parents wasn't dead and were only asleep
due to his lose of control with his power. The outcome of his power wasn't the
most surprising since he's holding the power of the Death Arcana which meant
end. At the very least, it was good that his parents didn't die but with what
we've seen, I'm thinking that Jolly's the one keeping Nova's parents - or so
assume. Either Mondo and Sumire know about or not isn't what I really care
about is Jolly's reasons for hiding them.
In an overall look
on this episode, I have to admit that it's finally showing some interesting
stuff. Although they're not yet enough to make this series worth watching. The
Arcana Duello has again been neglected and we had that keeping the safety at
Regalo moment which seemed a lot better this time comparing to the previous
episodes… Whatever happens in the following episode couldn't probably convince
me to like this series but at the very least I'm hoping that this will be a bit
decent once the 2nd half opens.
