Right, time for my review.

Kinda makes sense for the flashbacks, and why he didn't want to fight her. What kinda sucks is that he just talked her out of the curse by saying her name. Guess it makes sense, but it feels a little anticlimactic, and i expected it to be some sort of "hit me right in the feels" sort of event.

The curse materialising was cool, and you can see that it's using norse magic, instead of Issei's powers. I like that touch, since it doesn't seem like it should have access to his power as well, instead accessing it's norse magic roots. Especially when it opened the chest cannon and was powered by the norse magic circle.

Kinda like the cannons appearing on Issei. It's a nice way to hint to the next season, although i don't quite understand how they got there. I guess Issei wanted to live badly enough they appeared.

One thing that's annoyed me this season is the power scaling. They haven't really thought about it properly, in their attempt the reshuffle the plot.

But what i do want to know, what was that big white whale thing? And will it be important later....?

And while i really enjoyed the beach part, and it was pretty damn cute, what was the point in it? They don't even remember it, so it's literally just for the fans pleasure. Guess that'll have to be it.... maybe? And what was the purpose of Vali wanting to see the encounter of Great Red and Issei? Not really sure.

Ah, welcome back the parents. Literally must of been the longest holiday ever...... Oh nevermind, it was a tour around the world.... And it's good to see Rose finally join the dark side!

And im glad to see Oppai dragon finally get introduced, and like that the season ended with the school sports day. I feel like i enjoyed the 2nd half of this episode more than the 1st....

It's a shame that it's already ended. Can't believe the time flew by so fast...

Ratings:

Animation: 7/10. Great Red was again, weirdly animated. Like they didn't want to put effort into it.

Plot: 6/10. Was good, but it didn't really sit right with me. I wasn't as attached to it as i should of been, like the season 2 finale made me.

Fights: 6/10. Was an ok fight, but a bit boring. Issei talked Rias out of the curse, and defeated the curse/clone pretty easily. Wasn't built up much.......

Fanservice: 7/10. Not really much, but enough i guess...

Overall: 6.5/10. Alright episode, but not really "finale" material.....

Even though, I would be excited about the chance of a 4th season. The story would be pretty good. Let's bring it on!
