And I Felt It Was Going To Be Done Sort Of Better Than This - Tumblr Posts

I only recently got into the show and I haven’t watched all of it consistently besides for the most part of season 2 and someone on YouTube who reviews the episodes. Right now I really like the show and I am hoping for a 3rd season.

I mostly agree with you, but one of the points I don’t feel as strongly about as you do is the last sentence. I felt the show would have been so much better if it wasn’t rushed, because as good as I feel it is now, if it wasn’t as rushed as it felt it was and if some concepts had been better thought out/executed, it would have been more well done.

Yashahime isn’t as bad as I believe you may feel about it, or as some other people feel. In fact in my opinion it’s one of the better shows out there.

You can see how with what they put into the show that they have everything the need to better execute a really good show. Great characters, their dynamics and relationships with others, an interesting premise and story, etc.

But yes like I said I do agree with you on the majority of questions you have.

I know there is one more episode, so maybe all will be explained in 20-23 minutes, but we still have to make time for Moe and Mei to be adorable and for Takechiyo and Shippo to have some wacky hijinks...so you know, my hopes are not high...

BUT...

What in actual hell is the grim comet? An egg for a space butterfly...that has a library inside?

Why did Osamu Kirin go all Eyes of TJ Eckleburg at the end? Were the glasses magic? Did the butterfly give him magic glasses? Did the magic glasses make him evil? If Towa had just gone into the locker room after classes, gone into his locker and smashed his glasses Beastie Boys style, would this have all been avoided?

Why did Kirinmaru and Rion make a sword when they died? Why did that sword have a Star Trek transporter that brings people back to life? Tenseiga ain't so special now, I guess?

Speaking of which, Setsuna's special power isn't so special if everyone can do it, I guess?

What connection does Treekyo have with the butterfly? Were Setsuna and Rin somehow under the butterfly's control? Does that mean anything?

Is a butterfly ever a proper villain (the answer is no...no need to wait for the final episode for that).

I had a thought when I still had hope that this mess might have had an actual logical plot that maybe the reason Rin could not touch her daughters is that there was a kind of spell...the mother's touch would dispel the illusion which was put in place to train the girls...or something. But no, it was just because there was a big bad butterfly and Rin (impulsive, loving Rin) just did not touch her daughters...because...

I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out so much worse than I could have imagined.
