Btw. what happened to the random guy that kissed Hiyori? They even used it as a cliffhanger and then it wasn't mentioned ever again, let alone having any impact at all.

Kaiba: I think the story around the plant was very underdeveloped, especially considering that it was considered legendary among the citizens. I liked the parable of Kaiba (the memory-eating plant) and Kaiba (Warp) who was also kind of sucking up all memories. Aside from that there wasn't much though.

Romance: Kind of abstract. For the amount of screentime it had it was developed quite badly imho. A long time no development happened at all, despite showing the romance over and over and then they showed tons of flashbacks (basically an entire episode). I think it would have been better to give more emphasize on the setting instead of this. Which leads me to my next point.

Setting: There were a lot of interesting themes concerning memories, their exchange/loss, body exchange, government control, sciene (cloning, synthetical bodies etc.), revoloution, manipulation (this was especially interesting because of the way memories were handled in this show) and the impact of all of these on the society. Some of them were handled well while others seemed to fell a bit short in the end. Part of the reason for that is the ending. I don't really understand why they focussed on a good vs evil ending towards the end with lots of action and drama instead of chosing a more philosophical road. I think this would have been much better if they had done 24 episodes and focussed a lot more on the world instead of the romance/good vs evil story.

Music: I meantioned this before but the soundtrack for this was amazing. It didn't have a lot of tracks but each mood was conveyed perfectly. It was also quite memoriable which made me feel nostalgic already while watching the show which is a huge plus for the atmosphere in a setteing like this.

wasn't he the guy they showed after credits in the final episode that turned out to be the "father" guy nora and yato were always talking about?

Oh I didn't watch that. Yes, that's him. :o Probably the villain of s3 then.

In the fight against boros after boros drops his armor viz went with saitama going "Oh" instead of "Ok"
In that context Oh is just plain unfunny and implies that saitama is being surprised(or atleast pretending to be), him going with a casual "Ok" is much funnier because it much clearer expressed that he plainly doesn't really care.

When saitama runs into Tatsumaki after coming out of the ship and she insults him genos eventually replies
Viz went with him saying "Listen, you poopy brat. Shut up and scram" while UK went with "Hey you shitty brat, shut your mouth and piss off"
The fan translation might be a bit more rough in terms of the words used, but "poopy brat" just sounds fucking idiotic and sounds like they didn't want to swear but wanted to keep it close to what was being said.

There are some more examples, but i don't plan to sit and go through it right now. But yeah overall it's just more entertaining with the fan translation compared to what Viz went with, and Viz's translations are just sometimes downright awkward, like "poopy brat"

That had a lot of action. I'm pretty satisfied with the final episode despite the cliffhanger. I hope Yu and Mika will go back to get Krul back along with Guren and Kimizuki's sis. I can't imagine krul being gone here if Guren is still alive so i think she is fine but maybe in jail or something. They are pretty connected.

I hear from the author that now the human vs vampires arc is done. I think it'll just be them vs angels/demons now.
