You know, I really wouldn't have minded if the last chapters ended like this, if, there was an actual final battle which preceded it. I mean good llooord that was atrocious!

Ah well, you win some, you lose some. If some studio ever decides to do an anime adaptation, they should definately include all the stuff that Kubo wanted to put in there but couldn't, because of time constraints and whatnot. Maybe also do an OVA for the origins of Wandenreich and the war 1,000 years.

(Also, cheers Xil for choosing that song by TDG :) That used to be my workout jam.)
