And here it is, the end. I will be sad to see this one go. Yumiella was such a fun character, largely thanks to the great VA work by Fairouz Ai. When she was trying to convince the boys to save Alicia at the end, her voice cracked me up.
I will say that the way this fight plays out is a bit different in the source that I read. In the original source, there isn’t any kind of “game plot” driving force that controls Alicia’s actions. Instead, Alicia takes it upon herself to kill Yumiella out of fear of her power and dark magic. I don’t particularly mind this change because it makes more sense that Alicia wouldn’t want to kill Yumiella at this point due to the friendship they have tried to build. Alicia might still see Yumiella as some ominous dark mass, but she is a heroine, she should be prone to trying to see the best in people. The only thing I don’t really like about the change is that this “game force” trying to right the story just feels a bit lazy. I almost wish it actually was the demon lord controlling her, that would have been more interesting imo.
I am not holding my breath for a season 2, but if we do get one, there is plenty of content to adapt. This first season just adapted the first LN volume, so there is lots more material to go. However, I haven’t read too much further than this in the source (and really don’t remember it well past this point), so I can’t speak too much to how good the content might be. I will say, that if this humor sensibility from the show connected with you, then it is pretty spot on to what I read of the source. So, I would recommend checking out the LNs.
Up to book 4 here. I BADLY want the anime to succeed at least enough to let them add two more seasons, JUST so that we see Book 3 adapted. I REALLY wanna see that animated, was my fav of the 4 we have translated so far. And as a bonus, S2 should have an episode where we will see drunk Yumiella, that alone makes it worth adapting the whole thing 😂
Still, until we have word that they have greenlit more seasons i recommend people to go to the books (the manga still hasn’t finished Book 1 so the anime is further ahead).
