Zetsuen no Tempest: Different Tone, Same High Quality
Posted by
The Evil Cat
Currently finished: Episode 19
Compare to the first half of the series, the second half is a bit more light in tone and filled with lighthearted comedic moments. It is especially apparent with the addition of the clumsy magician. However, the overall epic-ness of the story did not suffer with these changes.
At the midway point, the story jumped from fighting an undercover battle with a stranded princess and her two pawns, to a global scale war of......trees? Yes, it sounds very strange, but it really isn't. You have to watch it to understand.
According to the preview, next episode is going to reveal a big secret--the secret has been haunting everybody since the beginning: who killed Aika.
On a side note, I've never really read the Tempest or Hamlet (the Shakespeare works of choice in my high school literature class were Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth). All these quoting and referencing to the work is making me really want to go read them.
