The End Is the Beginning

But it's definitely Voltron's weakest so far and I'm very not fond of season 4. Throughout the entirety of season 8 it felt like I was watching a different show and the finale further cements this.

Despite some funny and cool moments here and there, at it's core it is just bad. The buildup was a drag and the end was an ultimate middle finger to everything. Things in the characters buildup was left out and felt choppy and the events often feel unnecessary from how it's structured and played out. I give props to the animators who poured their heart and soul into this but I can't say the same for the writing.

I was able to rewatch S7 but I don't think I can with this. A total tragedy.

The final episode leaves me with mixed feelings, just as the whole season 8 did. It is quite disappointing that a series which had an incredibly promising start, had to end like this. It sort of reminded me the original Mass Effect trilogy and the total messup they did in the end... So to.conclude with, they should really have put more thought into the scenario of the final season. Nevertheless, the series as a total is one of the best anime series I 've seen.

There was simply nothing redeeming about this season, but in particular about this episode.

Its pacing was off, it was rushed, holes were never filled in, the characters were barely friends, and the staff and cast has already said that this season was edited. Anyone who has eyeballs can see that this season was edited, but you can especially see it in the poor animation quality in this episode. The fact that they forgot to name the random husband, instead having the audio description call him "Adam" Shiro's dead ex-boyfriend is... telling.

Voltron didn't care about their ending so neither do I.

It's really crazy to see so many people who watched this season be really mad at what the final outcome was. This episode, like the final episode of season 6, was so suspenseful and heartbreaking. I've had a great time and a fun experience with this entire show and I thought that the ending, the 10 - 12 minutes or so was the best conclusion that this great show deserves. I know there are a few things that weren't good here or there, but I still enjoyed it. No matter what happened, I'll always remember the great tale of the Paladins of Voltron.
