I wish this show had had more episodes to work with, many of its elements felt so half baked. Completely one note antagonists were probably the worst of it, but of course more Izetta and Finé would have been nice too. As it is, the interesting starting premise was squandered somewhat. And yet they somehow managed to fit in all the pointless but apparently mandatory shower and breast measuring scenes, sigh.
Ah well, I suppose we have doujin like this to fill in some gaps!
Exactly. I feel like if this anime had twice the amount they did (or even something like 16 episodes), it would have been a major hit. The writers had to cram all sorts of main ideas and plot points down, which gave it such a condensed and rushed feel sometimes and caused some loose ends to stay loosened. We could have had more development of the antagonists and supporting characters. Most importantly, we could have gotten more out of Fine and Izetta's relationship, In fact, I daresay the subtext would have been made actual canon like they did with Yuri on Ice.
Overall, it was a big idea with a lot of great potential, but the timing was what hindered it. Though it seems unlikely, I hope someone picks up on this show again in the future and does it proper justice.
