And here it is, the end. I will be sad to see this one go. Yumiella was such a fun character, largely thanks to the great VA work by Fairouz Ai. When she was trying to convince the boys to save Alicia at the end, her voice cracked me up.
I will say that the way this fight plays out is a bit different in the source that I read. In the original source, there isn’t any kind of “game plot” driving force that controls Alicia’s actions. Instead, Alicia takes it upon herself to kill Yumiella out of fear of her power and dark magic. I don’t particularly mind this change because it makes more sense that Alicia wouldn’t want to kill Yumiella at this point due to the friendship they have tried to build. Alicia might still see Yumiella as some ominous dark mass, but she is a heroine, she should be prone to trying to see the best in people. The only thing I don’t really like about the change is that this “game force” trying to right the story just feels a bit lazy. I almost wish it actually was the demon lord controlling her, that would have been more interesting imo.
I am not holding my breath for a season 2, but if we do get one, there is plenty of content to adapt. This first season just adapted the first LN volume, so there is lots more material to go. However, I haven’t read too much further than this in the source (and really don’t remember it well past this point), so I can’t speak too much to how good the content might be. I will say, that if this humor sensibility from the show connected with you, then it is pretty spot on to what I read of the source. So, I would recommend checking out the LNs.
The voice acting at the end there really sent me lol.
Depending on how they handle the changes to the new plot, the “game plot” control might be addressed later in the story. If the manga is following these changes, we might actually get to see it even if we never get a season 2. At the very least, I don’t think the demon lord cursing Alicia would be very in character for him and would probably invalidate a lot of his characterization.
I’ve read up to volume 3 and I’m going to start reading volume 4 soon when I actually find time. This has been a blast honestly and I’m also really happy that there were enough people who enjoyed the series that I could have these discussion threads here!
