It gets weirder
(This review contains mild spoilers!)
So we’ve moved on to the second season
of Luluco I guess? It’s probably more like the second story arc than anything,
but whatever.
We rejoin our heroes on a mission to
destroy an asteroid before it crashes into the Earth. That’s really all there
is to say. This episode feels more like 7 minutes of setup than anything.
As always, the characters are the
highlight, and we finally get a bit
more development on Nova’s part. It’s clear that the writers are having a lot
of fun pairing him with Luluco, especially when he sends her a message towards
the end of the episode. It’s delightfully cheesy, and made me smile.
On that note, I’m not really sure what
they’re trying to accomplish with Midori yet. She seems sort of like the lazy one,
but I don’t quite get that vibe from her. To me she sort of seems like the
Peridot of the group, a sort of technologically savvy character with her own
agenda.
The episode ends with a reveal
completely out of left field (as per the usual with this show) that I can’t
wait to see them explore. Hopefully it won’t be discarded and this is something
they’ll focus on more, but with Luluco, you really can’t tell.
Something I didn’t mention in my other
review was the opening and ending themes. While I find the opening to be
obnoxious, but with nice visuals, the ending is absolutely delightful. It pieces together a wonderful mix of live-action
pictures and photos of the characters, as well as a lovely little song that
goes along the background. It really feels like the show is giving you a break
after all the craziness that just happened, and I never miss it.
So, all in all, this was a good
episode, but it felt more like setup for the next story arc than anything. I’m
excited to see where they go with it, but I wish the introduction had been
handled a little better.
FINAL SCORE
7/10
Good
