Plot Summary
I really wanted to like this and had high hopes during the first few episodes, even though FL has a weak background/reason for being bullied/her mother doesn't like her and she lets herself be bullied etc.
The whole story is so convoluted and plot-driven. The scenes and plot barely have any real change and it's beyond me why no one is smart enough to think she's a phoenix. Seriously?? Not only that, but the writers/directors haven't given us enough reasons to love the lead or time to hate the villain.
There are so many times where we are led to believe that a pivotal moment is coming (even though the build up is really lacking) to reach the "climax" which is just a huge and complete disappointment. The world of people who want to kill the phoenix is over the top at the same time. The 2nd "gate" of their past lives brings something new to the story and it doesn't change the plot anywhere... it just feels... MEH. By the time we get back to the present, through a fight scene that wasn't very good or thought out, I was stunned at the next scene, death... annnnnnd the next one!
Gate 3 I don't want to talk about. No point. Hated it and everything about it. What was the purpose of those episodes? There wasn't even any ANGST present to calm me down. Just... nothing. It felt like the entire third gate was filler. And now... two episodes left and I don't care what happens. Why? Because the writers never made me care about the leads, care about their journey, or even care about their enemies. How do they make you hate Eggs??? Cool, but how do they do it?
