Hmmmm. So... my thoughts go like this.
"It's fine"
Like I said last week this is the "It's fine, everything's fine" ending. And as variations of that "I'm tired of writing this series and just want to slap a happy ending in which everything is fine" goes... it's, to use the word of the day yet again, fine.
The story never felt like it reached a real climax to me it just sort of pretended it did and then had a happy ending pasted onto it. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't the worst outcome. Even if I absolutely agree that it gives the feeling many elements of the story didn't resolve in a way that was climactic or completely satisfying. The whole thing feels incomplete because I think it probably was. Mashima just ran out of ideas or interest.
Which brings me into my larger thoughts about Edens Zero as a series. What I wanted VS what we got.
What I had hoped for was a shounen space adventure series. I know a lot of fans had hoped for something a few shades darker and more serious at times but I was never among those. What I wanted was something more ship focused jumping from planet to planet. The way One Piece jumped from island to island. Something that moved from various settings and developed a crew with character arcs that gradually move along while leaning more on the sci-fi and less on the battle manga tropes.
What we got ultimately was really just another battle manga. The sci-fi stuff really felt like window dressing rather than a core element of the series. He kind of ran out of interest or ideas when it came to new planets and adventures pretty quickly and it sort of just defaulted to pure battle manga with just a little interdimensional and time stuff for flavor. Then had a generally uplifting feeling ended put on there to cap it.
Still, taken as what it is. It's not terrible. There were decent moments here and there. But it never really became what I hoped it might either. Probably not something I'll reccomend to anyone but I'm not unhappy I read it. Even if I do wish it was better than it is.
So, to return to my word of the day, I think Eden Zero was fine.
