Pumpkin Scissors: Episode 23

Rating: 8.5/10

Impressions:

So if this series finishes at episode 24, it doesn’t look like anything will be accomplished regarding the secret conspiracies involving Orlando and such. However, ANN has yet to put up the number of episodes this series is, which makes me unsure of the total yet. Anyway, this episode is a nice mixture of character development, action and plot progression. It looks like things are finally going to get a move on after the duel has been settled. It will be interesting to see how Section III can get out of the mess they are in now, and perhaps even save the nobles and commoners involved.

I can’t help but wonder, if the next episode really is the last episode, how will everything work out? It seems really unlikely and improper for the series to end like this. I think I remember seeing (FINAL) in a filename of a raw of episode 24, and I don’t want to check episode 24 until after I finish this post. Emotionally, Alice and Orlando seem to be at peace, so there’s no need for any closure in that respect. However, plot-wise, the show has gotten no where. Has the manga even finished yet? And how much of the manga does Pumpkin Scissors (the anime) actually cover? I don’t think they have gotten very far at all.

    When you watch episode 24 just watch it as though the second season is already being worked on … if you do .. it should be a pretty good episode.

    I seriously DO hope for econd season, I’ve grown fond of Paladinesque Alice and Section III (Rogue-like Oreld, Barbarian-like Orlando, we have almost RPG team here ^^), also last time I wanted so much to know real plot was Higurashi… (dreams of autumn season and Higurashi 2)

    As some one pointed out to me, the manga is still ongoing, so we can hope for a second season!
