This review covers all 24 episodes. This is a mostly spoiler free review, but does touch on some things that are revealed later in the story: WARNING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS minor SPOILERS.   Not since Chaos Dragon have I watched this poor a story (I may go change my rating of Chaos Dragon just so that I can rate Fairy Gone lower than that series).  In short, it's the definition of poor story-telling with even poorer characters. Was determined to drop this series after episode eight (and was ready to drop it even earlier). But sometimes one has to stay the course to watch something even when it is this bad. A) It's an experience and B) Had to see it through to the very last episode to determine, if in fact, my reasons for disliking this show were valid...if I had been wrong. I wasn't. Episode 1, you are introduced to the primary and secondary protagonists and a possible enemy (which turns out really isn't). All subsequent characters you meet are introduced the exact same way--and by this I mean they just are in the story and don't know why or care. And this is the beginning of why this series was so bad: 1) Character (insert any name) possesses a fairy, and said character has some troubling event in the past that causes them to be so grim/sad/angry but is never really developed. 2) Characters possess a fairy, which is supposed to make combat more interesting (I suppose). However, these fairies are never deployed in any meaningful way other than to fight other fairies. So...the real combat takes place between the individuals that possess fairies...and these creatures don't amplify said individuals' abilities in any way. So it's almost like the fairies are pointless... or if you want to flip it, the characters are pointless. 3) Some fairies are stronger than others and their strength have no relation at all to the effort or spirit of the individual that possesses them. Some characters JUST get stronger or weaker fairies. 4) There is no growth whatsoever in character or fairy abilities at all 5) Some characters can "speak" to fairies and some can't, and this helps guide the protagonist along the way and makes others follow her (?). That's it. I watched to the end and this is how it is. Joke is on me for watching the whole thing...and on you if you decide to watch too.

"Fairy Gone: Part II" continues the narrative set forth in its predecessor, venturing deeper into the post-war world where humans coexist with fairies, creatures that can be summoned as formidable partners in battle. This sequel aims to build upon the foundations laid by the first part, focusing on the ongoing adventures of Marlya and her companions as they navigate political conspiracies, uncover secrets about the fairy soldiers, and seek to maintain peace in a fragile society. Despite its ambitious world-building and concept, the series struggles with execution, leading to a continuation that does not fully capitalize on its initial promise. Flickering Lights Expanded Lore: The second part attempts to enrich the series' lore, delving into the backstory of the fairy soldiers and the broader historical context of the world. This expansion provides a deeper understanding of the setting and the characters' motivations. Visuals and Action Sequences: "Fairy Gone: Part II" maintains, and at times enhances, the quality of its action sequences and the visual depiction of fairies. The animation during battle scenes showcases a dynamic use of the series' unique concept, offering glimpses of what the series could achieve visually. Lingering Shadows Continued Narrative Challenges: Much like its first part, "Fairy Gone: Part II" suffers from a convoluted plot that struggles to maintain a clear and engaging narrative thread. The series continues to introduce numerous subplots and characters, which can overwhelm the main storyline and dilute the overall impact of the story. Character Development Issues: The development of characters remains shallow, with many characters not receiving the depth or growth necessary to fully engage the audience. This lack of development hinders the viewer's ability to connect with the characters on a meaningful level. Unfulfilled Potential Underutilized Themes: The themes introduced in the first part—such as the consequences of war, the nature of identity, and ethical considerations surrounding the use of fairies—remain underexploited. There is a missed opportunity to explore these themes more deeply, which could have added significant depth to the narrative and emotional resonance to the characters' journeys. Inconsistent World-Building: While "Fairy Gone: Part II" expands on the series' lore, the world-building can feel inconsistent and sometimes contradicts earlier elements. This inconsistency can confuse viewers and detract from the immersion into the series' world. Conclusion "Fairy Gone: Part II" continues the ambitious journey of its first part, aiming to weave a complex tale of magic, politics, and warfare. However, it ultimately struggles with the same issues that plagued its predecessor: a convoluted plot, underdeveloped characters, and unfulfilled thematic potential. Despite moments of visual creativity and expanded lore, the series does not manage to overcome these hurdles, resulting in a narrative that feels incomplete and unsatisfying. For fans of the genre, "Fairy Gone: Part II" offers glimpses of what could have been a richly woven tapestry of fantasy and intrigue but leaves much to be desired in its execution and depth.
