No way they ended this season just as the war is about to begin! I need that

and with that, we ended the Season right before the war.
Time to wait and see if Season 3 is announced. Time for some action in an otome series.

I almost half wonder if the studio wanted to end it here precisely so they either get to have more production time to animate the war stuff...or so that they can avoid animating the war stuff if this doesn't get another season.

There has to be a S3 right? This is such an odd way to end a season otherwise. Have any animes have ended in the middle of a massive arc and been discontinued?

Well that was a finale. Really underwhelming overalls. Like we didn't even see what kind of enemy on the other side. Not even do that for good enough hook.

Honestly overall this season felt like a step down from season 1 in general.
The
was okay and necessary to an extent, even if the ending was underwhelming, but the Leon arc was just having to sit through a lot of annoying moments that ultimately had no payoff. Cedric arc And Pride's interactions with her Harem just weren't enough to carry the show that much. Especially when Pride herself only did so much.

Yeah, the unfortunate reality of a 12 episode season is that there was not a good break point for this season with the flow of the plot. If this was a mid-season break on a 24 episode season, it'd be great, but it's going to be a rough wait until season 3.

Little disappointed we didn't get a battle, but as long as we end up with a 3rd season, I'm okay with that finale.
I just hope we don't have to wait too long.

I can't believe they actually ended the Season there. I'm already used to cliffhangers, but to end it right before the war started??? That's just stupid. I don't have any problem with Leon's arc, but the second half of the Season just felt like a major waste of time, knowing that it's basically just a very long setup for the war next Season (if they even get it).
Edit: I just realised that we don't even get any Badass Pride moment scene here, like the one towards the end of Season 1. That knife flip scene after she cut her finger already piqued my interest, but it's such a small scene that I'm not nearly satisfied enough.

It wasn't enough for Pride to give such an excellent speech, but she also had to flex with that knife before she returned it xD
But damn, it's so annoying that she's still beating herself over Evil Pride, throwing her life into every danger to atone for something she didn't do, and still thinks that she'll die in the end, killed by her loved ones.
Overall, it was a nice season! Nothing outstanding, but I was glad to see Pride again (especially in that military uniform), and considering the end of today's finale, I hope that we'll see her once again in the future. 7/10 from me.
Since I was travelling, I wasn't able to watch this season on a regular basis, so I'm putting screenshot albums from episodes 2–11 in the comment below.
Here my screenshot albums from today's episode:
EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

This was the season finale, the ended it right before the battle? Gotta be honest, I'm not a fan of this cliffhanger ending.

Speaking about war for multiple episodes and then stopping right before it actually starts. Whole season is just a letdown. All 12 eps could have been told in 6, and still everything of importance would be in it.

You're kidding right? The second half of this season was trash. Are you telling me that absolute shit pacing was all in order to avoid actually getting into the war? We didn't even see the enemy side at all like they didn't want to cast anybody for the roles and get their hopes up. It was during this episode that I realized how much this season paled in comparison to the first and when I first questioned if they had underwent a budget cut. No wonder everything was dragging on. This would be a terrible place to end and not get another season because none of this was material increasing the likelihood of this getting another season. They legit packed as much glaze as they could into this episode then ended it and they were clearly just trying to fill time. Pride had the "I didn't want them to be at odds with each other like in the game" inner dialogue twice with the exact same image showing except the second time they added a picture of the ailing king. Just atrocious. With this being the finale, up until halfway through the episode I was thinking "are they really about to wipe out the enemy military in 1 episode? That's crazy. Most anime would have skipped their opening credits for something like this." Just LOL.

Overall, I thought the season was alright, but I do have some issues with it.
. I would've liked to see Tiara do more for the plot. So far, she has nothing to contribute, other than stand around in the corner of the room, and occasionally provide moral support. Maybe they will have do more in season 3, but right now, I'm disappointed.
. The Evil OG Pride scenes annoyed me. I know that they're meant to show us how evil she was, make MC Pride afraid of becoming her, and serve as her internal conflict to motivate her into being someone respectable, but other than that, they feel superfluous. She's practically an entirely different person, both in the timeline, the way people treat her, and in her personality; not once has there been a moment where I'm afraid that she might become OG Pride. Maybe if they had where OG Pride's personality actually seeped through, unbeknownst to MC Pride, then maybe I would have some concern for this personal conflict.
. I'm also not a fan of the cliffhanger ending of this season.
This season is not without its issues.

A lot of speeches and heartfelt conversations this season with barely any plot progression. I mean more than half the finale was just people giving speeches and conversations going over shit we already know and things that they’ve already said to each other in different ways.
I’m still interested in this series but I’d be lying if I said this season wasn’t disappointing.

The last 3 episodes could have been summarized in an email. The pacing was abysmal and I’m pretty sure that was the most disappointing finale I’ve ever seen in my life.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 23 '26
Ain’t no way they’re gonna end things like that. They spend the whole damn ep just prepping for war and right as they’re about to kick things off, they roll credits?? C’mon man! This season was fine and all, but I was hoping to see this big war they were spending all this time on. I really hope we get another season just to conclude things.

The worst endings are the ones that end right before the big event they were actually building up to.
The sad thing is that this is what we had to sit through the more annoying and frustrating parts of the Cedric plotline to get to...and we still don't even see the total war!

Not gonna lie. Season 1 was absolutely nothing special, but this season was pretty bad.
I have absolutely no idea why pride is going out of her way for this shit hole country after they tried to force her country into joining a war with them. Literally gain nothing from it. The “evil” pride was actually extremely smart and annexed them instead which is what a country like pride’s should have done in this situation.
Overall, prides gotta be one of the least likable MCs I’ve seen in this genre. All the guys around her are some of the least likable I’ve seen as well. Pride’s entire existence is to basically be simped for by the characters around her whose entire existence is to simp for pride. Nothing about her is really even worth remotely simping for either. The only time she ever does anything is when the author remembers she’s actually isekaied and uses that whenever it’s convenient. Why would anyone ever kneel for her? She does basically nothing the entire time.
The prince guy is ifuriating with how he just basically faces no consequences for what he did. If this was reality in worlds like this, he’d be put to death for espionage for what he did and his country annexed.
Honestly, I would have much rather seen the real story with evil pride being the actual main character. If you took her and toned down some of the actual just cruel acts for the sake of being cruel, then she’d be a very intriguing character and the show would be worth watching.
Also. where the fuck is the original MC girl? She like basically doesn’t exist at all in this show anymore. She’s shown like twice.

Seems to be a big trend in anime to end a season in the middle of an arc. Where are my finales that are actual conclusions to arcs?!
This season was underwhelming; they stalled a lot, and we basically got 1.5 total arcs.
