Caught back up with this after taking the time to read the light novels.

The story was told in two volumes, and revealingly, when I finished the first volume, the story was at just about exactly the point at which I'd left off the anime, at the end of episode 10.

And judging from episodes 11 and 12, they really are going to try to cram the entire second volume into only four episodes.

I'm glad I read the LNs.

I wish the story didn't have this many flashbacks. It ruins the flow.

At first, this show was very immersing for me, but at this point, they have forced the bar too much, all the suffering and drama just seems very forced by the author to bring emotions into the watcher.

Almost like everytime Lara Croft crosses a bridge it explodes, I just got desensitized to it.

I just finished reading the light novels (two volumes), and that was the thing that stood out to me the most in the long run - the story was about 30% intrigue/thriller and about 70% weepy melodrama. And that's just not a very good combination, not only because of the mood whiplash, but because the two are paced entirely differently.

It is a good story all in all, and there were some great twists, but even in the light novels, where it had much more breathing room and context, the melodrama still felt sort of awkward and contrived.
