12 - Final

I finally watched this till the end. It's not like I'd have ever decided to drop this, but I somehow just lost motivation to keep going.

All in all this was kind of lackluster. The characters could have been interesting, they had interesting personalities and such, but for whatever reason they were devoid of drive. I guess in that sense the plot twist (that really did nothing for me) of Thirteen being both the good guy (sort of) and the bad guy isn't surprising: There was zero shounen spirit in this show, even though it had Zero. Without the shounen spirit, what does it matter if there's no good and no bad side? What does it matter if there really was no big villain to defeat? In a sense that would make this more realistic, but making realistic stories interesting takes a different approach. This was like one of those Hollywood films where you can immediately see the actors were only doing their job, nothing more.

I guess this was worth finishing, but little more.
