Steven Universe: Reunited (2018)
Practically nothing but perfection!
This episode special pretty much has everything you could ask for in a "Finale" based episode.
An amazing opening song, great humor, a milestone in romance, the return of long lost friends, awesome lines, great action, great team ups, a lot of emotion, a peaceful resolution and ALL without making the overall product feel rushed.
Granted if I were to say if there actually WAS anything rushed in it, it'd have to be how the Cluster handled controlling its form so easily but that's just picking at the bottom of the barrel for me.
If it weren't for the fact that it ended on a cliffhanger, have plot points that still need to be addressed, AND having two more episodes left in the season as well as a new season on the way, I would perfectly accept this as the series finale. It's THAT good.
But there's still more that our heroes have to take care of, and I'll gladly anticipate how they'll patch these up.
Holy Knight (2012)
Holy Knight is anything BUT Holy
Not only is it too short, it is beyond sick! First we have the cliché "New girl randomly wants to bang our male protagonist", the "Male protagonist's best friend gets jelly because of new girl.", "There is a plot regarding religious symbolism" etc. The characters were either despicable or annoying, or both. For example, the main female "protagonist" wanted to bear the male protagonist's child so she would sacrifice it to remove the curse embedded in her tattoo. I mean think about it, she wants to kill her own baby to remove a curse... that doesn't sound like a "protagonist" I should be routing for... EVER! You deserve that curse you evil witch! The male protagonist's cat is also an obnoxious magical girl and there was a photographer who gets excited by having her pose for his pictures, and I mean REALLY excited... I'm calling the police. And the character I hate the most (Other than the female protagonist) was her sidekick who is a disgusting person who can transform into an annoying, badly drawn wolf pup. I mean first he says "That chick with the big boobs is very annoying huh? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY" etc. I mean look who's calling the tea kettle 'black'!? And when he reveals his true form to our Protagonist's best friend, he has a personality of a rapist, and that's how he acts before he gives her regenerative abilities (which I might add serves NOTHING to the story). And let's not forget the story, and I put the term "story" very loosely. It is so jumbled with plot elements that could NEVER fit two episodes, and that's how many episodes it has, TWO! Eiken may have been a terrible anime, but at least it had a plot (Not quoting the meme) that would fit two episodes. This anime however acts like it was building up to a 12-26 episode storyline that never came. Even if it did get 12-26 episodes I would probably still hate it because of the obnoxious and/or despicable characters, poor voice acting, lazy animation, and perversion that is so sickening it makes you question "How is this not a hentai!?" I think I found my candidate for "Worst Anime of 2015" if not "Worst Anime of all time". In fact I find it even worse than Eiken, Powerpuff Girls Z, Demon King Daimo, The Sacred Blacksmith, Blood-C, and Magical Play put in a blender! If this anime were a milkshake with those other anime as the ingredients, this is how I would react to the taste.
