| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So according to the end there will be a second season ? The second half of the episode was really pleasant for the eyes |
 |
| Well, it was what I expected although it had some good twists at the end. I felt the ending unfinished for some reason. Will Satoru and Hiroki keep escaping of the Company for the rest of their lives? Will they be killed? We will never know since the manga has the same ending. Honestly, it's not a problem of the show, but the director. 6/10 for the anime. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Brilliant. Although the direction at the early stage was confusing, the show got momentum from the middle and finished quite well. The plot including cunning moves of characters was precisely calculated. If there weren't awkward direction, unnecessary gay vibes and ugly eccentric art / character design, the show could have been a masterpiece. --- Ok, let me get back to the last episode. Ron was shot to death. Good job, Mr. Matasa. Then the twist at the end. Unpredictable. Apparently, Kasturagi - the nuisance of the show - dominated certain screen time and made us excited with passion. Although I don't think the sequel will be made, the last line of Jin gives us a bad hunch. As it seems Tsukasa is happy with Jin, it would be fine leaving him as is. But if the thoroughbred of Tsukasa and Jin is to be imprinted some curse, the future of Satoru and others gets dark. (Just a fancy:) --- The show got the score of 6 or so, and more than quarter people stopped watching. It's a shame that potential perspectives through the posts were lost. The failure at the early stage was irretrievable. --- edit --- about the direction |

| Well, I'm glad this is over. The core concept was interesting indeed, but shit just got too tangled up to even follow, to the point where I just gave up trying. At the end, I don't even know who's who anymore, and this last episode asspull switcheroo just felt superfluous on top of it all. |
Is it just me, or was anyone else creeped out with the relationship between Katsuragi and Jin's mom, Lianlian.. Kind of predatory if you ask me.. |
| The revenge plot of Satoru just got bad with the interference of Long, Katsuragi and Tsukasa, but with his manipulation of Carrier Pigeon Katsuragi, he managed to make things clear with Hayashi hiding his "peak" from Jin and Meiling. Thankfully, Long got massacred before he could do anything worse, because honestly, Katsuragi would've chosen to live the family life, but circumstances changed the way he lived his life. With Satoru knowing the full picture, he seemed like he wasn't to let go of Tsukasa after so much manipulation, but whatever,all 3 of them managed to escape from the clutches of "The Company". Of course, Tsukasa's crushing of Hayashi was a sin that he could not repair, but letting Hiroki take his place is more than enough to repair his memory loci, valleys and all is the only way to atone for his sin. At the end of it all, the rainbow that carries the future of the "image" is up to the user, and leaving Tsukasa in the dream world is the only option for both Hiroki and Satoru to live a life without him, memories erased. Instead, Hayashi has given both Satoru and Hiroki the wayhead of the future, his predictions far from before he was a dead man way back in Episode 3/4. A very hard show to follow, but results vary for extending all the way through. |
 |
| I felt like this show was a nice show honestly. It can look confusing in areas, but you can take first few episodes of them establishing who these characters are, and the work they do. While later, it played a guessing game of who is gonna end up escaping, while setting up from looks of things, rebels against the company, vs the company. Seeing who saves who, or who crushes who. Which sets up quite the interesting second season if one comes. |
| I was wondering how everything would get wrapped up, but it seems they didn't wrap things up. So, the pacing felt very natural. Tsukasa's thoughts are contradicting themselves, and that is an extremely uncomfortable feeling. So, I feel really bad for him right now. Actually, I also feel bad for Hiroki, Katsuragi, Hayashi, Satoru and Jin. I really want to see how things will continue. Since Mal says the manga is only 5 volumes long, I thought this anime would cover the whole story. Based on the incomplete feeling the ending gave, I feel like there is still some content that is yet to be adapted. Now, I just hope we get a second season! |

| This deserves at least a mean score of 7, man. Even though it had some problems here and there, it definitely wasn't as bad as its score suggests. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| This was... very fast. Not sure what to make of it. this_shit_again said: Is it just me, or was anyone else creeped out with the relationship between Katsuragi and Jin's mom, Lianlian.. Kind of predatory if you ask me.. Yeah. Then again, pretty much every relationship in the show is messed up. It's not a series about good people. |
 |
| Damnn yo what the fuck, I was not expecting the Katsuragi twist at all. He played his roles well af. Mailing being his daughter was also extremely unexpected I feel so bad for Hiroki and Satoru because they were just pawns in this game that’s so much bigger than them. Their emotions and abilities being exploited like that is awful. Katsuragi, hayoshi and Linlian also deserved better So at the end, since all his memories were erased, were they raising Tsukasa to be long’s successor ? This show really really turned things around after the first ep and I’m glad I stuck with it. Once it got going in the last 3rd, it really got going. It’s a shame this was so slept on. It actually had a lot of ID:Invaded vibes at the end. Pet earned a 8/10 from me. |
 |
| OMG, it's the finale. I didn't expect Katsuragi to be Jin's father. Tsukasa has had enough. Poor Hiroki had to erase Tsukasa's memories. It's nice to see Satoru and Hiroki succeed in escaping and that end with the valley and the rainbow was beautiful. |
 |
| Seems rather like an opening ending than a set up for a second season. Was quite a gripping watch. Concept and relationships of the characters were something I haven't seen in this form yet. |

They actually adapted the entire story and the ending looks to be the same as in the manga (My Japanese still isn’t very good). Apparently though a sequel manga will be written so we might get to see a second season https://twitter.com/pet_anime/status/1244618379622666241?s=21 Oh my god, that is such a good news! It's probably the best news I've heard this year. lol! (There haven't been a lot of good things this year.) I think I also want to read the manga. But, my Japanese is also crap. Maybe I'll wait till I get a little bit better. |
| Good finale with some great revealations. Lianlian and Katsuragi's lovestory maybe creepy to some people but it looked quite beautiful in my eyes. Katsuragi was a nice guy, he helped and fell in love with a girl who was pitiful before she met him. Anyway didn't expect that Long would die thou, that came as a shock. Also F for Tsukasa he became a child. Decent anime overall and this ended with an open ending so there's surely possibility of a new season. |
 |
| I really liked this anime overall. Though I was pretty lost before eps 3-4, when I got the overall concept and the story and finally understood the plot it was so fun and intriguing to watch. It's sad people dropped this, but it's understandable. 8/10 |
 |
| pretty messed up ending, season 2 is coming?! |

| I'll admit this show did seem to get much better after a weak start in the first couple episodes. Even though my understanding of everything that went down isn't 100% there, it was still interesting to watch. Not as terrible as one might assume (especially based off the average score), but that doesn't mean it was really that great either. I wasn't too satisfied with the ending either but oh well. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Damn okay I feel like this was pretty rushed compared to the last few episodes and the art seemed to be lacking as well. Bit of a shame for the finale because I feel like what actually happened was all pretty good stuff. Also very open ended to the point where even tho there is only 5 manga volumes it felt like they left something out. Apparently (comments above) this is how the manga ended but there may be a sequel series which would be cool. Anyway Katsuragi was kind of a badass in the end. It sucks that he had to die like that. Their relationship was a little weird, but we don't really know the maturity of Jin's moms mind. Tsukasa finally broke for real to the point where he'd let Hiroki change his memory to such an insane degree to avoid the pain. Ironic how he was always talking about the importance of a super tight lock, but it was that lock which ruined him. The way Satoru escaped was pretty clever. Hayashi's instructions lead them to his peak location. They prob skipped a bit because they managed to leave Japan in one cut. Lot's of room for the story to continue if they actually plan to try to rescue their broken friends in hope that seeing the peak irl would save them. |
| I'm kind of embarassed that I cried rivers and everything was caught on camera. YET I'm so proud I made a reaction serie on this incredible anime! TT__TT <3 <3 <3 <3 INCREDIBLE EPISODE <3 <3 <3 <3 what a twist T-T <3 twist after twist <3 |

| it kind of started to get better these last few episodes, but the ending was disappointing if there won't be a second season. All the characters are shit, so I don't even feel bad for any of them. Well, it's a solid 4/10 |
| This is one of the very few shows that I would love to rate it from 9 (after watching ep# 6) to 10 after finishing watching it. And I have to say that it will replace one of my top 10 favorite animes. I need to think which one can be removed from the list. There’re so many shows out there that start nicely but end pretty unremarkably or even disappointedly. But this last episode is definitely one of, if not the most amazing finale I’ve ever watched. It was full of unexpected surprises with no disappointments. Who would’ve thought that Katsuragi would be such an important character? For me, he’s always a minor villain but also a comic relief that is fun to watch. But I was teary to see him find someone who would heartily say ‘Welcome Home’ to him. He had a terrible childhood, but at least he also had happiness. And I couldn't help bursting into tears during the scenes where Hiroki was removing Tsukasa’s memories step by step, especially where the memory of Tsukasa trying so hard to make the pancake for him was gonna disappear. It’s been quite a long time since I cried over a show last time. The way the author portrayed Tsukasa was as if she’s portraying a protagonist. That’s probably why he’s so relatable even though being a very twisted & complicated character. The existence of this character alone makes me feel lucky to notice the show by accident. As for the scenery Satoru & Hiroki saw at the end, it seemed that the solution Hayashi came up with was to let the pets see the real scenery of their peak so that they could have their own memories, thus get rid of the strong connections with their peak fathers and become the masters of their own one day. I saw some comments somewhere else saying that the manga is going to continue. Would love to have a 2nd season for sure if that’s true. But if not, I will have no complaints cuz this is already a pretty complete & satisfying story. |

It's sad people dropped this, but it's understandable. 8/10 Same thought here, though the ending had me thinking (because of Meiling's butterfly). It was a great initiative to adapt the manga and bring it to an animated version, because otherwise we could not watch such great anime. I missed some better direction, but still a great anime considering the low quality of the season. |

All the characters are shit, so I don't even feel bad for any of them. Well, it's a solid 4/10 I pretty much find them better written than almost all Shounen anime ones. Also, they weren't designed for you to "feel bad" about them, actually. |

| Man Katsuragi was the best. Great final ep though a bit fast paced. It's sad that this show is rated so low. Pet is way better than overrated Id:Invaded that was intentionally made for kids (this fact literally ruined the series). I doubt we'll see the end of the story, but that was a fun ride nevertheless. Hope Geno Studio will continue to animate similar shows like Pet and Kokkoku. They are doing a nice job. |
| That cliffhanger kinda end for the finale was really creeping with the ED dropping the tunes in the background. Everyone went crazy with all these visits down the memory lane. No one was left sane. Damn Hiroki really crushed Tsukasa. Satoru pulled whatever he could to save his life and it was worth it. Guess this show could use a new season with a better pacing. this_shit_again said: Is it just me, or was anyone else creeped out with the relationship between Katsuragi and Jin's mom, Lianlian.. Kind of predatory if you ask me.. Well love finds it way in the most weirdest of ways. At least they looked happy. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Great direction in the last episode. The flow was done very well, the climax of the episode (Hiroki eating Hayashi) was done brilliantly, I am very impressed. While this anime had me anxious in the first half, things DID fall into place and it became enjoyable to watch. I would LOVE a sequel. That ending definitely gives some room for a 2nd season. However, I am pretty certain this anime will not be that popular to garner one. Art and animation are kinda terrible sometimes. You can tell when the animators got lazy like when their faces are inconsistent. Katsuragi x Lianlian flashback... Dang, I didn't think Katsuragi would be a decent man before his memories were "hidden" but wow, he was a kind fellow. Sucks his daughter (I forgot her name sorry) had her memories altered afterwards. 7/10 |
| This one of the 4 series this season where I loved every single episode. It pulled me right from the beginning, surprising me all the way through. The story was highly unpredictable, and I love how complicated Tsukasa was, as well as the complex relationship between peak givers and their pets. It was actually a bit difficult to watch Tsukasa go downhill in the later episodes, and it was just downright sad in this episode when he just wanted to forget everything. I cried when Hiroki tried to change Tsukasa's memories, and him having to see that he's the one taking away all of Tsukasa's memories...including the ones with him. How terrible it must've been. Must've felt close to how Tsukasa felt about crushing Hayashi. But clearly neither of them were thinking, or capable of thinking in that situation. How could Tsukasa's peak-giver be changed to Hiroki, if his memory will still include himself sharing his peak with Hiroki? Kind of like the chicken paradox. But well, Hiroki is young, and he wanted to do his best for Tsukasa. He annoyed me a bit at times with his naivety and rebelliousness, but in the end, he's really a good kid. Satoru as well, he's so trusting and seems to have "forgiven", or at least chosen to let Tsukasa go. That second to last scene was beautiful, the intensity of their hopefulness towards the future inspired me and made me cry tears of happiness, these are the moments that I love when watching anime. I also loved what they did which the character designs in the scene, it was closer to the mangaka's artstyle and the brush-like lineart looked amazing. Imagine if the whole series looked like that. Not that I'm complaining, I actually love the character designs, and I'm surprised (but also not really) that people think it looks weird. Crushemerylush said: Ok, emotional episode. I'm a crying mess...My poor Jin, Hiroki,err...Tsukasa? and (I can't believe I'm saying this) Kasturagi. I hated him all this while and it turns out his jerk behaviour wasn't any fault of his. My bad mate,"Requiescat in Pace" Seriously, the Katsuragi part was just wow. Just like the other pets, he had a terrible childhood, but he also was a good guy. Who knew it was due to sealing a part of his memory that made his personality that way. It's sad that he died without remembering Jin, but at least he didn't die knowing his daughter killed him. Look at how much that screwed up Jin. The mafia(?) life really is just a life of tragedy. Although I think Tsukasa really came out of this in the best condition, in that he forgot all his pain and sins. Look at his innocent smile as he played with the puppy! Well...as long as Jin doesn't really raise Tsukasa the way she wants to... Wow, the manga is getting a sequel? That's really surprising given that it ended 7 years ago! Usually sequels are done right after or with a short break. I'd really love a second season, but given the reception and lack of people watching it, I highly doubt it. Well, I'm not sure how it's received in Japan or if the manga got a significant amount of extra sales. Although...it's gotten a stage play, so it seems like Kadokawa is really pushing for the series. Hm. Forgot to mention...best OP and ED of the season :D |
this_shit_again said: Is it just me, or was anyone else creeped out with the relationship between Katsuragi and Jin's mom, Lianlian.. Kind of predatory if you ask me.. yea...it kinda felt like DILF! |
 |
| What I keep circling back to is.. We never got the answer to how big a rapist Satoru actually is..  Was that the first time he tried something like that.. Or has he already racked up so many victims he'd have a media nickname by now if it weren't for his ability to alter memories.. |
| getting season 2 vibes from that ending, but, considering the manga only has 5 volumes, i'm presuming the director just wrote it like that since it worked with the pacing. all in all, a surprisingly good ending considering how shit it started off. this_shit_again said: We never got the answer to how big a rapist Satoru actually is.. was satoru a rapist? can't remember anything like that happening |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
photophobic said: was satoru a rapist? can't remember anything like that happening Episode 5. At the hotel bar. He tried to psychically compel Jin into having sex with him. |
| God.. wow that was amazing I freaking love the unpredictability of it all. I really, REALLY felt for Katsuragi, Hiroki and Satoru, even Tsukasa to a certain extent.. Ah seeing his memories destroyed was so disheartening.. Jin was one of the more enjoyable characters too and it was so sad to see her go crazy almost like her mom.. ugh, this is all just a big tragedy and then they hit us with Hayashi's peak and I CRIED D: I give this show 8/10 just because of some direction errors and the art/animation, BUT I will give it 10 just because so many people shit on it and it does not deserve any of this! Definitely agreed with who said the show had the best OP/ED, it was godly and I'll keep listening to this set forever! Thank you Pet and Geno studio~! I'll look forward to Golden Kamuy now :D |
