Context: Here in the hololive community BloodRaven means the ship between Nerissa and ERB. However, in the Warhammer 40k Universe the name belongs to a space marine chapter. They are know in lore for having an unsual high number of psykers and mysterious origins, while in the fandom they are know for stealing things. I saw a fanart of this name coincidence and decided to make this meme.

I don't think I'm gonna add a lot of new things to the conversation but still here's my two cents:

Good Things:

-The Visuals were amazing

-The music was amazing

-Gooseworks had the courage to kill Jax. I know this sounds random, but a lot of creators don't have the courage to kill main or beloved characters. It's always sad to see a character you like die but sometimes their death is essencial to moving the plot fowards. In that regard, I give my regards to Goose for doing it and showing that not every story has an happy ending.

-The ending was satisfatory: Even though it was predictable I still enjoyed the ending. The scene where they see what their real life versions are doing was really sweet and beautiful. I also think I far prefer this ending to one where they escape.

Bad Things:

-A lot of things were left unanswered: How do new people join the circus? How is the circus still running? What truly was the blue ai? What was Bubble after all? This are all things that went unanswered in the finale. Gooseworks already said she is abandoning TADC after ep9 so we are never getting answers.

-The writing and pacing were worse than in the previous episodes: Contrary to a lot of people here, I'm not gonna say the finale sucked. However when compared to episode 6 to 8 I feel the writing fell of. I was much more interested and focused on those episodes than in this one. Especially if I don't consider the fact this was the finale, ep9 might not even be in top 5 of the series for me.

Final score: 7/10(maybe 6.5/10?) Could it have been better? Yes it could. Could it have been worse? Yes it could. Although the finale wasn't as good as the remaning of the series I still found it enjoyable.
