I liked the series from a technical standpoint - the visuals, direction, all were very good. Before this season started, I was pretty excited about it, considering that Naoko Yamada had a hand in it. Most of her films really speak to me, so this time, too, I was expecting something that would touch my heart. However, this show didn’t resonate with me as strongly as I’d expected. Overall, though, I liked the story, even though the time jumps threw me off a bit, and I feel like some of the characters weren’t developed enough. The political intrigue was my favorite part, even though Sitara was being played all the time. I hope there will be another season someday. I give this 8/10
