Atlantika (2006)

Heavy on the political / hierarchical structure of Atlantika.

To be honest this one feels like a fanfiction made by those who loves Encantadia specifically those who love Amihan (Queen of Encantadia) and Ibarro/Ibrahim (King of Saphiro) to have their own happy ending.

The show portrays Atlantika as a community rigid with its own customs and traditions. From succession to the throne, to arrange marriages. To making halfbreeds an outcast or throwing away the weaker twin just because they're badluck.

What I like with the show is when it comes to love, it's all out and no half measures or half ass maybe I like you. It's always absolute whether it's good or bad.

Many things were confusing in the show, not in a good way but just in a confusing way. Like the characters, were they good or evil. Or how come they didn't know who's the king's son? When even from the beginning it was a known fact that the ML was the savior and the future king of their race? Another thing was that it was mentioned that ML was supposed to find two princesses, one to kill and the other to marry. Where or when did the writers decided to add a third princess?

I wish there's also a happy ending for the other princesses. There's none, it's only for the ML and FL.

I was left with many more questions. But is the show worth watching? I guess so. Would I rewatch it? Maybe not.
