Since I lost yet another HDD anime watching has come by way of crunchyroll and what ever I had saved to my thumb drive which wasn't much at all. So I ended up finishing off the last couple of episodes that I hadn't watched of The Tower of Druaga: Sword of Uruk. I'm not sure why I never finished the series off while it was new but I think it just got left in the dust by better stuff that I found more interesting at the time. But seeing as how I have the extra time now it did allow me to finally finish it off for once.
Pretty much starting a little after the first season ended with the surprise twist our jilted lovers ended up hanging out with each other doing day to day things until one day when Jil and Fatina end up saving a little girl who looks remarkably like a much younger Kaaya. After saving the little girl Jil decides that he's once again going to climb the tower to find his brother and Kaaya and get the answers that he wants. That's what starts the new group on their quest up the tower.
And unless you really want to read a very long blog you'll just have to watch the dang series yourself on crunchyroll as there are plenty of twists and turns and WTF just happened moments going on that you'd need a crib sheet to keep things straight but the gist of it is that the main group from the previous season ends up after much meandering though the inside of the very strange tower finally confront the true form of the King who became trapped inside the tower to live on eternally as he is but he's busted out and has taken control of the older king and is running around doing things unlike him self.
The big points are that the new tag along girl with Jil's group is a traitor who's there to help the king and take control of the robot super soldiers from he first season. Melt and Coopa are back with Jil and company after a bit of side changing with the soldiers. Mostly because almost all the soldiers are now gone from battles with the robots and the third group. Neeba finally takes on the shadow king only to be beaten, Jil does the same with the same result just without a sword stuck in his chest. The King ends up defeated by the last of the Soldiers when he is stabbed in the back. BUT it doesn't end there. No that would be to easy instead Neeba gets his sorry excuse for an ass up kills the traitor girl for no real reason grabs the Blue crystal rod tosses everyone out of the tower and goes on his own crazy rampage.
Neeba creates some crazy magical cannons and starts firing at pretty much everything thanks to the Succubus's' wishes. So in order to stop Neeba from destroying the world Jil and Kaaya go back to the top of the tower and confront Neeba. Kaaya is held up by the Succubus and leaves Neeba to Jil by himself. We find out Neeba is just jealous of Jil and how Jil will surpass him and while those two are fighting Neeba turns into yet another Druaga thankfully Jil still kicks his ass and defeats him in the end. Which finally after all those twists and turns in the story we finally come to a nice happy ending that finds Jil with Kaaya, Fatina with Utu and Melt and Coopa doing their thing as well as everyone else as well.
After watching that last 1/4 of episodes this series just tosses you around and around until you just can't take it anymore. It's not a bad thing at all and it keeps you wondering what will happen next but still sometimes it's a bit too much as well. I did really enjoy the second season and I liked some of the surprises and disliked others. I feel silly now that I've finished it after all this time and wish I would have stuck with it when it was new. I definitely recommend it and you can easily catch it on crunchyroll so you don't have to wait for someone to release it in the states on DVD even though if someone did I'd probably buy it as it's a wonderful series. And don't worry I didn't spoil everything and I left a ton of stuff out for you to enjoy while watching it yourself. The best comedy bit revolves around a spoon as well.
Enjoy the preview and check it out on crunchyroll if you haven't already.
