>>50661478XY remains the anime's magnum opus. Stellar animation, great writing and characterization, and amazing choreography and strategic battling. While certainly not a *perfect* product, it remains the best piece of media to come out of this franchise bar the best of the games. It's only major flaw, it's *fatal* flaw was an ending that completely betrayed the build up of the narrative, utterly bucked any sensible story telling, and punished the viewer for putting any investment into it. 6 years later and you still have contrarians pretending they didn't like XY, pretending they weren't as excited for the finale as the rest of us. The seethe at the fact XY made them care and betrayed that. It's pathetic.
>>50661900Eh, I'll believe it when I get a source. Not like it matters. Journey's was never going to be able to make up for XY's mistake anyways. It doesn't have it in it.
>>50661951Characters jobbing to show off how strong another character is is literally a cliche that people mock and call shit lmao. The fact you're defending it and call it good writing shows how far the bar as fallen for the sake of mocking people who wanted Alain's return to be something cool.
