The characters were your average fantasy tropes. It wasn’t a bad ride by any means, but the show left no lasting impression on me and as of now the biggest thing I can say about it is “It was fine’.” This plot twist does the opposite however, and just makes Lost Song confusing and forgettable. I think Lost Song was really hoping that it would work, and that making this different than the average fantasy show would make it stand out amongst its peers. Plus, it leaves a ton of plot holes that I’m still trying to figure out after watching.Ī good plot twist can’t drive a show.

The second half of the series was a confused mess of the show dropping this plot point, trying to explain it to us, trying to make sure it really really made sense and that it wasn’t a convoluted mess (spoiler, it was) and the final episode’s epilogue, while sweet to an extent, leaves more questions than answers. How the show handled this after the fact however, didn’t really land at all, because to figure out why it was a good plot twist, I had to look for final episode discussions to see people explaining what the heck was going on. It turns out, that there is a reason revealed in the second half of the show, that explains why we didn’t see Rin and Finis meet sooner, and it’s honestly a pretty good plot twist that I wasn’t expecting to happen. What I found far more interesting was Finis’ story, and her love story with Henry and I wish we would have seen more of this throughout the first half of the show. The show honestly plays out like an RPG for Rin’s plot: Find new party member, learn new spell, run from soldiers, rinse repeat. I thought the first six episodes of the show did a good job of showing us the world Finis and Rin live in, and the problems they both had to face.

Eventually, these two paths converge, and that’s pretty much the plot without spoiling anything major. Rin, a country girl, who also has the power of song, and wants to work her way to getting to the capital so she can sing at the Starsong festival. Finis, a songstress who has the power to use songs, which work like casting magic spells in this world, who is being used to make sure one kingdom wins obligatory fantasy war. The story in Lost song follows two main characters.

Did this show succeed in trope subversion? Or did it’s plot twists just make it fall flat. What I got instead was a show that started out that way, and ended up in an entirely different direction all together. A magic system based on song, and a girl who wants to fulfill her dream of singing at the Starsong festival? Sounded like my type of fun, adventurous, entertainingly tropey kind of fair. I was in the mood to watch a fantasy anime after watching a lot of the heavier shows out there (Evangelion, Angel Beats, stuff like that) and when I was scrolling on Netflix, Lost Song’s description was interesting to me.
