I really failed to connect with most of Part 1.5. It definitely pales in comparison to part 1 for many of reasons and with my doubts and concerns of the upcoming part 2, it definitely didn't leave me w/ many reassurances either. Seele's portion of 1.5 was nothing special to me, found it to be a lot of dross with pacing that did not fit me at all. Only really enjoyed the Senti portions, and didn't care much for Seele and Vita and the rest until towards the very end. The Fu Hua portion are marginally better with the first chapter (40) giving a pretty good start in my opinion and giving me something to look towards. Then 41 didn't deliver it for me, some pacing issues and the small vitas, Phosphorus, and Moriarty especially did not peak my interest then. 42 did give me some things I liked tho and enjoyed that part also. Griseo and Fu Hua during that were good, includes probably one of the best bosses in the game, then the epilogue of everyone from part 1 conversing was a nice little touch at the end and kind of sort of felt like a farewell to part 1. 1.5 didn't lead much into part 2 which I found a bit odd but thats whatever as I mentioned earlier, I am not excited about that at all and would like to do anything possible to separate part 1 and 2 as much as I can, but this isn't a doompost review. In summary, 1.5 was a little bit of a story of 2 halves, Seele's not being all that great while Hua's was definitely something that I enjoyed a decent amount
