Chrome Shelled Regios after episode 24 – Final Thoughts

This is how Karian, Felli's big brother, looks at her. Nina and Felli looks in intense interest at a vegetable peeler.
Big ass Kei cannon. Layfon's so cool he surfs on his new katana.

Well, Layfon remains unresolved in his romantic options, which was no surprise since he is uninterested in pursuing romance at his current point in life.
Chrome Shelled Regios suffered from a mishmash of loosely connected plot lines. There were arcs after arcs, but the stories never felt like they contributed to something more grand or significant. The writing was not much better: cliché ridden and at times nonsensical. I also found Layfon to be boring. His character had a banal construct: he was a self-sacrificing, overpowered hero with a troubled past. The series did little to change him, with the only significant development occurring at the very last episode, something that could be symbolic of him finally accepting and moving on from his past. The music in the Chrome Shell Regios was more often than not distracting than complimenting. Aside from all these flaws, I did however, enjoy the fights, and of course, the pretty girls around Layfon. Chrome Shell Regios was very much a stock shounen-like show.
