Avenger (Conclusion)

Beware!!! Beware!!! Big time spoilers ahead! If you don't want to know how this series ends, Don't read this post!

Wow... This was a bad anime… It’s been awhile since an anime left me so… umm… unsatisfied? I should have known as soon as I heard the terrible soundtrack. I don’t even want to finish blogging the darn thing.

Anyway, I’m not going to waste precious efforts on cutting any images. The last four episodes have Layla confronting her past. The man who has been a mystery to us, but appears to have been her abusive mentor, comes to her and they fight. He appears to have been a caring man that saved her from the explosion that killed her family. Volk ordered the shuttle that was carrying the last survivors of Earth to be destroyed. Cross (Mr. Mystery) was against the destruction and was able to save Layla. He then trained her to fight for survival (in the way of the Original Dozen), which explains why she is good enough to win against anyone. When he comes to Layla he tries to help her see beyond her sense of revenge. Tries to make her find a purpose to her life beyond the killing. She kills him in combat. She then moves onto Dome City to challenge Volk. TWO episodes with slow images and different angles cover the preparation and actual fight. *sigh* It was bad… no dialogue beyond the bad soundtrack. Layla then just walks away. There was some sand storm or something going on, Nei’s eyes changed which appear to be due to the fact that she has matured into a full human child (eh?). After all her concern over Nei, Layla just walks away from everyone.

I admit that the first 9 episodes of the story kept me watching, expecting more, wanting to see more, but the last part just fell completely flat and was a complete disappointment. If you are reading this for suggestions on what to watch (even with the big time spoilers), I’d skip this one altogether.
