This season 2 of Star Vs the Forces of Evil has been more clinical and more intense. from silly adventure in season 1, now it's getting more story-arc format, more serious adventure, more awkward thing and more shipping (?).
this episode take place after "Face the Music", when Star and Marco now are avoiding each other awkwardly after Ruberiot revealed Star's crush to Marco in Song's day. in other plot, the Magic Commissions are trying to find Glossaryk and the spell book when they are encountering Ludo.
this episode was speechless, tbh. I really love all the aspects written in this episodes. the awkward teen relationship was written well, the fight of Toffee vs Moon was very intense and epic, Lekmet's and Star sacrifices was very emotional, and the decision to put cliffhanger and silence outro was genius. very genius. I honestly still shook with this, especially the ending when Star had to leave Earth for Mewnies, leaving goodbye's words " I do have a crush on you", to Marco. it really shook everyone, including the fandom.
honestly, when we talks about best cartoon season finale, we would discuss about Sozin's Comet, Weirmageddon, or some titles they've known, but this is no joke, and should be on the discussion. really, people, watch this episodes ( for better feel, watch Face the Music before Starcrushed ) and you will try not to cry ( or worse, try to be not frantic)
