Looking back on it one year later, SukaSuka remains a mixed bag. An intriguing opening and an emotional conclusion bookend an uneven series full of awkward plot points. I can't help wondering what would have happened if the script hadn't inexplicably skipped over Chtholly's first big fight, or if the series hadn't wasted so much time on the detour through Corna di Luce. Even a reasonably good show can be frustrating to watch when it so clearly misses an opportunity to be better. Still, it's the first and last impressions that most often stick with us, and SukaSuka's best content is conveniently concentrated in its start and finish. For the right audience, that could be enough to justify sitting through the middle.
