Day Forty Seven

But an entire episode was devoted to characters on a potential spin-off that never got off the ground, leading to things that were actually important never getting explored.

It was a waste of time to watch.

Although I believe I should say this episode is the only I appreciated most in this season that was such a mess. The concept is interesting and we get to see new characters or side characters in another light. It gives a sentiment of what is happening on a daily basis. But this also shows how uncharistically distant Shiro has grown from the paladins has he is never seen interacting with them except once in which he calls them by their positions and not by names like he used to, driving an ever larger bridge between the characters. This is in bad taste and really saddening to the audience that loved this character. Instead of seeing some time with the characters that we grew found of, this episode seems to hint for a futur project following the series that would go with the MFEs as this episode gives them a much higher importance and some other random character in a long discussion about pets. It has been said by the creators that sadly they couldn't go through every story elements they would have liked as the number of episodes they had for the series was limited to a precise amount. So this conversation most of anything seems really out of place and buying time, like they didn't have enough material at all. There were a few funny jokes but all and all, this is an episode that could have been cut and made into some sort of OVA following the series or as an extra material for the DVDs or whatnot.
