The Night Ends

So, Stellvia… wow. I did finish the last disc (of 8) tonight, just now in point of fact…
How do you really sum up a series like this one? When you know how it’s going to end, when you know that there’s going to be a tomorrow for you, and for the characters, what keeps you watching? It’s not the destination, but the journey; and for a series like Stellvia, it is all about the journey. The series’ primary conflicts are always there, hanging over the characters, but it is the characters themselves who drive the story. If the cast were not as developed as they are, I imagine that the show would have fallen apart before half the season had run its course.
But it continued on. And some days– some nights– it is all that matters, continuing on.
I don’t think there’s anything else, really, that I can say about it. Besides the obvious “go watch it now” and the lamentable “too bad they couldn’t arrange a second season”.
