It doesn't do it enough, and the whole "castle springing forth from the Tree's corpse" invalidates all of that.

Slice of life, you say? "Oh My Goddess" is slice of life, and the decision of the Almighty One to revoke Urd's license impacted on several episodes. Not to mention Skuld has an entire character arc devoted to not depending so much on science and on not being so hotheaded.

And what about "Steven Universe"? When we find out the truth about Rose, they don'0t just brush it aside or contrive a happy ending out of it, there is a lasting impact behind the secret.

And that's the key word here, impact. Stakes. Show me that there are lasting stakes, show me that what happened before actually matter.

If you are gonna make a sudden, traumatic, irrevocable change to the lives of the protagonists, give it thew weight it deserves.
