Arcana Famiglia is finally coming to a close
and no, it didn't showed us anything better than the first episode. I'm really
disappointed at how it turned out. Although I'm not really expecting anything
from this. I'm just giving it some hope that at the very least it would be
decent. And it barely made it. But I have to honestly admit that the bishounen
really worked for me :3 I've added 3 more characters to my fave anime guys
list. LOL.
Episode

I thought that
Felicità's memory lost will be such a big deal that it'll be the final arc of
the series but I was stand corrected. The Arcana Duello must still be on or
not?? This episode tell us that there're a couple more things that should be
done but before getting there, I'll go quickly with my impression of this
episode(:
As Jolly had
mentioned last episode, when Felicità uses her Wheel of Fortune arcana, her
memories were supposed to go. I believe that that
part was pretty much shown but I can't believe that all she's doing is stare
out of nowhere. There's a chance that she can make new memories like what she
did before, right? I don't understand why they didn't even mentioned that
possibility and had Felicità look like she's out of her mind or something.
During the first
half of the episode, it's pretty obvious that Felicità's Wheel of Fortune
didn't work. I'm pretty sure that Jolly didn't expect that outcome as well. So
I don't really seem him as anything evil. In fact, how he helped Felicità was
more than enough for me to like his character. Although he probably won't think
of using his power until Elmo had told him about the memories getting locked up
or something.
Nova and Libertà's
way of bringing Felicità's memories back is so typical I already knew that it
won't do anything. Although through what they did Nova was able to somehow open
up to Libertà :D Also, I'm pretty curious what Nova meant by Libertà being like
them Does that means that Libertà's actually part of their family and was only
brought to that torture-orphanage-thing? Hmmm… I hope that they'll make it
clear soon.
Finally, their
battle inside Felicità's memories was… boring. Although I have to admit that
Jolly's power was pretty cool. I guess touching him allows other people to get
there as well. Nova and Libertà playing the hero as they use their swords to
free Felicità was pretty boring. Although I was actually laughing at Mondo and
Jolly stupid attempt to remove all those thorny vines using their hands in a
desperate pace. Couldn't they use their powers or something to free Felicità?
Do they really have to use their hands to take out all those multiplying thorny
vines and let the younger ones handle it? HAHA.
AND finally, with
Felicità needing someone to be with her (or something like that, I think) the
Arcana Duello will definitely be going on soon. This is probably some part to
save Mondo and I highly doubt that there'll be a winner between Nova and
Libertà. The ending will probably go like Felicità winning the Duello and the
person (s) that will be with her will be both Nova and Libertà. Typical story.
Really. Although seeing both Nova and Libertà finally realizing their feelings
for Felicità is a nice development(:
Episode
11
Should I say
finally? Looks like my prediction was correct. Now that there're only 1 more
episode before the series ends, the Arcana Duello is finally going to happen.
The most awaited event of this series will be going on in full speed. All those
episodes earlier where mainly to develop the characters and their powers.
So all they need to
do is make a decision to strengthen
their arcana power, right? With both Nova and Libertà deciding to protect and
free Felicità, they're probably ready for the Duello. Felicità, on the other
hand, is in a dilemma asking everyone around her what the heck is love. LOL.
The funniest reaction has got to be Luca. HAHAHA. But that is just so him.
Now to celebrate
Felicità's memory being recovered, they had to go to the sea and give her the
butterfly hairpin? HAHA. I seriously expected the weather getting bad and them
getting stuck somewhere for awhile. Let me point out some funny stuff. First
off, I really wondered why both Nova and Libertà jumped off to the sea. One
could just stay, probably Libertà, and Nova would save Felicità. That way they
could have gotten home safety. Psh.. Another thing I noticed was that they were
so far away from the island and they didn't even had problems getting there.
Just how much endurance do they have? HAHA.
Anyway, enough with
those rants. This episode probably shows just how much Nova and Libertà had
grown ever since the first episode. They had been doing their best to get even
stronger so that they can control their arcana powers. Libertà had his show off
by lighting a fire with make some warm for Felicità. I'd say that Libertà's
power is pretty good but I don't really want to directly compare it to Nova's
because we haven't really seen so much of his power.
As for Nova, his
resolution was to wake his parents up. His lost of control back then was
probably a big cover up to indirectly say that he hated his parents back then
because they were using him and they wanted to take over Regalo by killing both
Mondo and Sumire. Now, he has may have forgiven them from what they have done
after all these years. Although his emotions are probably not entirely ready to
wake his parents up that why they're still asleep.
Now, with one more
episode to go, we'll definitely see a not-so interesting conclusion and a
pretty rushed Arcana Duello. Disappointed? Yes. Expected? Pretty much(:
There're two things going through me in this series, J.C. Staff could really be
a hit or miss production company as everyone had been saying and reverse-harem
are series are rarely good (well the only reverse-harem that I like is Ouran Koukou Host Club - not only for the
bishounen but also for the romance, the heroine, the story and other more
stuff).
~okay, this has been
a pretty long post. Thanks for reading :D
