The intro was quite pretty, but mb I would've liked more of that worldbuilding sprinkled into the rest of the season, feels kinda weird tojust put it in the last episode. The transitions to the performances are kinda abrupt in this series, particularly in this last ep. It kinda makes me want the performances in less usual idol-garb and their fantasized stages and stick closer to the theming in the rest of the show, but eh.

I liked this show and it's been a show I've been most looking forward to watching week-to-week , it's on the prettier side of shows and more aligned with my usual preferences as a SOL. Yeah, pacing throughout the show has been a little weird and the same sorts of events to push the plot forward was a little annoying, but the fantasy world is pretty interesting (and wouldn't mind seeing another season or two of), both the OST and new Aquors tunes were nice, and I'd say Yoshiko ahem,.. Yohane was probably one of my favorites from the original series. Yeah, the themes of finding yourself and finding your place in the world and how that relates to everybody else aren't super unique, but the way the show tied it to expressing yourself and putting yourself out there through song and also tying it to the whole "kokoro no oto" thing and Lailaps was pretty nice.
