- @midnight-in-town said: I agree with the three of you. I don’t mind him, in fact I think it’s cute how he cares so much about Sieglinde but so many characters (who have been there since the first volume) deserve one chapter for themselves and a flashback to it feels illogical and like cheating as shinigami-mistress said, since his “death” was really written perfectly.
- midnight-in-town said: I mean, sorry Anon, but when you see Lau who’s been around since the second chapter or so and who’s the MOST mysterious character of the whole story because we literally know just his name, or Claudia, Ciel’s grandma who’s been hinted at since the circus arc, it definitely feels unfair to have Wolfram gets TWO chapters when he really doesn’t have the same potential towards the plot as Claudia or Lau (or Bard, or Mey Rin or a lot of other characters).
- midnight-in-town said: I mean we know more about Wolfram than about Tanaka lmao, that’s not logical at all. Yana rarely gives flashbacks and developments to her characters, so it feels unfair that the most secondary character got one lol. That’s basically one of the reasons why the GW arc really was one of the least good arcs and thank God for Dee’s presence.
I agree with all of this ok? All of this is beautiful and accurate, and I had to make it so that anyone could watch it. #MoreaboutLau2k16 #MoreaboutTanaka2k16 #MoreaboutMey-rin2k16.
But wait… one of the least good arc. #don’tbreakmyheart. xD Personally I actually quite like the gw arc and it’s on my top 3, but yeah, I was so ready to switch Campania as my favorite for the GW when the end happened. The pace was so tedious. Too many chaps on a persecution. Idk, that on anime probably looks really rad, but on manga lasted forever.
🙂 Haha I’m sorry about “one of the least good arcs” (please don’t let it hurt your feelings :3 this is just my opinion) but I think that because of the way it was written, not because of the characters (except you know… all the Wolfram focus at the end even though I don’t even dislike him) and even less because of the ending (strong action is always good).
Honestly for me the ending is totally what “saved” the arc because #Dee-happened™ and #this-guy-is-the-best-in-the-world but for the rest of it? This arc was all about plot convenience and Yana-sensei is totally capable of thinking up greater subplots in my opinion so I was a bit disappointed.
You know it’s like, after the arc is over, you start wondering how dumb the German government is (in Kuro-verse of course!) to basically think of a fairytale in order to force Sieglinde to find the chemical formula for a deadly war weapon.
Because they’re literally going at war against England, so instead of thinking up something with witches and werewolves (which totally gave Sieglinde too much power in her role as the Green Witch, something that I totally enjoy, but that was not good for their project), why didn’t they simply raise Sieglinde to hate England?
- By making her think her dad was killed by English spies for example,
- by raising her with no actual freedom and explaining her she was a prodigy, controlling her since childhood
- by brainwashing her with patriotism and making her think it was a good thing to produce this chemical weapon
(do you imagine the dynamics with Ciel if that had been the case? That would have been extremely interesting)
So there were many many ways to do differently and without the Green Witch legend thing (meaning less people involved, less money put into the project, less weird legends to act around lol), but instead Yana-sensei created the fairytale appearance of the subplot while the truth was in absolutely no relation to it (that’s the gist of my criticism), making this arc’s settings plot convenience only because Kuro is heavily based on supernatural settings.
So I understand why she did it like that, but that didn’t work for me at all (especially considering that I had nothing else to say about the previous arcs on that point). 
But you know, who cares right? 🙂 I mean, the arc is over and besides the ending at least was good because #Dee, #Dee
#Dee
I enjoyed the ending (Dee) Sieglinde’s character and Ciel & Seb having a hard moment because of the PTSD episode but the subplot wasn’t Yana’s best idea in my opinion, that’s all. 🙂
