[ Episode 12: YOU ZAPPED TO… ]

WTF Kaaya. No wonder Fatina didn’t like you!

Ehhh, what the hell? ANOTHER tower? I literally went “WTF?” when I heard that the top of the tower everyone was climbing was just a halfway point. Not only that, but the Druaga they fought was just a guardian. What does that mean then? Is there another Druaga at the very top of the next tower or is there someone more sinister? Well, it goes without saying that Jil will find out despite getting screwed over by Kaaya and Neeba. It’s gotta suck to be betrayed right at the supposed end of your journey and then get tossed away like nothing. Hopefully there will be hell to pay in the second season. That said, it doesn’t seem like anyone died but was just washed away so I’m sure will be seeing them again soon. Still, it sucks that Jil didn’t get a chance revive Ahmey. That would’ve been pretty awesome. Speaking of wishes though, I was pretty stunned to hear that Gilgamesh has the blue crystal rod and puzzled as to why he killed that guy. Is he an antagonist now? What about those two characters that were revealed in the shadows? They don’t seem to be friendly folk at all. The Succubus was also revealed to once be the lover of Druaga. I’m guessing that means he possessed some sort of human form before. Ahhh, so many unanswered questions!

Overall though, Druaga’s first season was pretty sweet. It wasn’t groundbreaking but I found the characters and plot so far to be enjoyable. That said, I’m not going to give my final thoughts since the story is far from over. I can only hope though that the same amount of effort invested into the first season will carry over to the second. The promotional material I saw prior to the start of the second showed some interesting stuff involving Jil and Fatina. Almost as if the two will get together in the second season. If that’s the case it will be interesting to see how their relationship develops, especially given that both were betrayed by people they once cared about.
