The story and world of Last Period isn’t anything unique as far as fantasy “RPG-like” series go.
The Wiseman group members also have pretty great character designs (referencing the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” proverb) but they’re essentially the “team rocket” of this series-they serve as the rivals/antagonists of the show but they’re not really all that dangerous or evil, just troublesome. Haru is your typical kind-hearted hero, Liza acts as the reasonable one, Choco is the somewhat stoic one who eats a lot, and Gajeru is just… there.
It’s such a shame then that all of the characters so far are as bland as bread. Some of the character designs do veer a little close to the “fanservicey” side, but at least this seems to be implemented equally among both sexes (take Gajeru’s outfit, for example). He certainly managed to avoid the “generic protagonist” appearance. The art style for this show is pretty adorable, and I actually quite like many of the characters’ and monsters’ designs. To be blunt, this show is kind of boring. But as the episode went on, this show honestly became a chore to watch. Upon watching the first few minutes of the episode, I was pleasantly surprised. When I initially learned of this fact, my expectations for this series were very low. This anime is actually based on a mobage (mobile game). If I had to summarize my thoughts on this first episode in one word, I would use “disappointing.” But let me backtrack a bit. Their mission is hampered by the appearance of a trio called “Wiseman,” but they eventually manage to get it done anyway. embark on their first mission to defeat some Spirals located near a village run by an extremely stingy mayor. Although Liza and Gajeru are reluctant at first (as they won’t be getting paid much and were evicted from their homes to boot), the kind-hearted Haru eagerly takes on the job.Īnd so, Haru and co. She asks Haru and his friends, the spellcaster Liza, the half-beast fighter Gajeru, and the mysterious horned-girl Choco, to lend a hand in rebuilding the branch. However, the branch leader, Erika, isn’t willing to give up so easily.
From left to right: Choco, Haru, Liza, and Gajeru. To add insult to injury, many of the Periods working at the branch quickly left after realizing that the branch no longer had the funds to pay them for the work. Unable to pay the bills, the branch had to sell their land and their assets. Someone apparently stole all the money from the treasury a few days earlier. In a fantasy world where warriors called “Periods” fight monsters called “Spirals,” Haru and his three companions return to the city from their camping trip and find that the Arc End Branch Office (the branch they work under) has suddenly been closed down. Are you ready for another Fantasy RPG-type series? Because I’m not.
