| meh. Well at least it got me somewhat interested in the manga, I may read it. |
 |
| I felt confused at the ending...i was hoping for this anime to be better with all the great fight scenes. |
 |
| First things first: My rating of this show is purely because I wish they had been a lot more faithful to the manga. The manga does a wonderful job of telling a story. This anime did as well. But it isn't the story of Code: Breaker. 7/10, but I enjoyed it very thoroughly. If I could score enjoyment, that would be 9/10. They really pulled all the stops out with the music. If there's one thing I can give this series full marks on, it's their soundtrack. Simply gorgeous. It almost brought me to tears after Hitomi finally died. Heike is far too passive in the scene with the Prime Minister, or maybe the Prime Minister just has too much power, it seems to me. There's so much more to Heike's character, and I feel with the way they wrote this season, he really got screwed over. Unless they're going to completely rewrite his back story, Heike is somehow going to end up being the weakest character of the Code: Breaker anime. And of course, the Prime Minister gets... killed/injured by Hitomi at the very last second. Um, sure, we'll go with that. Then everyone breaks apart and.... this doesn't feel like Code: Breaker at all, what are they doing? I mean, Yukihina's presence in the last few episodes was probably only to appease all of his fans, of which I am sure there are many. But did they really have to make Yuki and Oji leave? No, no they did not. Bad writers, it would seem, decided to come up with this... you do not just close up that story, even if you've been told you don't get a second season. Who knows, in a year, two years, even three, it might get picked up again. But no. They just left it like that. I refuse to believe the last ten minutes or so of this show really existed, and will instead now believe that I have been on some really bad fever-dream and this is what came to mind. Because that ending was not Code: Breaker, that ending was the most generic anime ending cop out ever. And honestly, it kind of ruined the series. Originally, up above, when I had written my overall score for this, I had the show as 8/10. I've had to drop it just for the last episode, and really should drop it again, if the music weren't so good and the series overall just so enjoyable. I just don't know what they were thinking, ending it like that. There's so much good material behind that one story, so much they could have done, and it's all been thrown away. So sad. Sad to see that this show, because of that ending, will probably never come back. |
| Meh, gave it an 8 because I enjoyed it all and all. Except the end, Ogami's power just keeps getting stronger and stronger whenever hes about to lose. Agreed with Hitomi on some of his points, I actually felt bad for the Code:Breakers who died protecting the people, and they don't even get credit for what they've done. Code:Forever? Season 2? Not the conclusive ending I was looking for. If a season 2 is announced that's great, if not on to the manga. |
 |
| Now how to score this show.. it started very well but few last episodes were kind of weird. e.g. Ogami became totally different person, but in unnatural way. Also it seems that Sakura was bit too forceful at repeating same slogan and getting into way to whoever and whenever it was possible all over during the show. I guess somewhere between 7-8/10 may be reasonable, because i liked 1st half of the show. Maybe if we get sequel i can understand whole picture better with more story. So far it seems that in future we can expect usual "new stronger enemies appear and secret evil organization lurks in shadows" kind of thing. Back to overall not bad show but to be honest i expected something more of this show. |

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I don't know if I want a 2nd season. |

Raikozen said: The Ogami gaining his true power was stupid and unexplained. Most of the things happening in C:B were stupid or unexplained. Going back to reading manga. 5/10 |

| I am REALLY pissed off that the Code:Breakers tried so damn hard to save the PM's life! They should've all just stood back and allowed Hitomi to use the last of his power to blow that asshole straight into the Eternity of the Damned!! I'm glad that Hitomi did at least get a little bit of posthumous revenge. Guess I'll pick up the manga while I wait for the OVA. |
 |
| Really sad Hitomi died ;; I loved him... Anyways, GREAT series and cannot wait for the OVAs! 8/10 |
 |
| ... wow this score went down fast. 7.26? |
 |
| I rarely get bored but with Code:Breaker.. The first few episodes were good but then it just dragged everything out way too long. It bored me to tears. 3/10 |
| Not a bad ending, although it seems Ogami's true power really turned the tides. They never mentioned his true power before, so it's a little unrealistic that he suddenly goes from nearly dying to being stronger than Hitomi. Also at the end, they all feel sympathy towards Hitomi which I don't understand well because they didn't wanted to stop him at all costs. Not bad, though, pretty satisfying ending. I must say, this anime had one of my favorite EDs,I liked it a lot. episode-4/5. |
 |
| Well I guess the ending it's not bad but it's not good either |
 |
| 4/10 Seriously this was almost worse than Arcana Famiglia |
| Poop 6/10 just because of animation i can't even count how many tables were flipped when someone was stopped from killing the Prime minster |
 |
| Overall a good show 7/10, started strong but trailed of towards middle/end I feel. Never read the manga Only had some minor issues. Lost count how many times I flipped my living room table over how blind the "current" CodeBreakers are following the Prime minister and Eden. |

| Coming from someone who hasn't read the manga. I didn't think the series was THAT bad but I can easily see this as forgettable... And the conversation Heike had with the PM was such an annoying tease... I'm here waiting for Sakurakoji to...use her powers more or surprise us or something but in the end it focused on "bonds" and junk... *insert big whoop here* So tl;dr: Had potential but was not utilized as much as it could've.... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| So cheesy! Especially when Hitomi burst out and almost attacked the PM. I'm still unsure why Sakura is unburnable, I thought it would explore more of her relationship with Oogami specifically. The ending seems like a clear setup for a sequel, explaining most of the plan in 5 minutes. I didn't feel that any of the characters were memorable. The code breakers had bland personalities, only their powers were the main focus. I will always remember Sakurakouji Sakura's name. This is probably the first time that Hikasa Youko has voiced a character I did not like. Her persistence is very annoying. The puppy didn't seem like a substantial addition either, its dangerous for it to be around a team with super powers. The OP was alright, however, I enjoyed watching the ED very much with its trippy effects. Best part of the show really, oh and Heike always gave me a good laugh. 3/10. |
| Seems like everybody likes the first episodes. Me too. And yeah, it is suddenly get boring and there are lot of unexplained things. 7/10 overall, thanks for its earlier episodes. And because I don't read the manga I am curious with some comments here about the anime lack of comedy from the manga. There are some at the beginning of the anime but when it gets boring I forgot that there's "Comedy" tag in MAL's Code:Breaker page. It seems the comedy part is actually really good in this series manga and that's why I'm curious because I see the anime as dark themed. Too bad I'm too lazy to read, at least for these times but I guess I will pick the manga someday. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| This anime was a mess. How I made it to the end of this, I don't know. 2/10 |
| Sure it went downhill after the first few episodes, but it wasn't that bad. |
| The only part I like was prince bushing lol |
| god i hate that sakura so much , it is riduciluos how much a charcter can be corny and annonying , and didn't really like the art style..... 5/10 (never again) |
 |
| 7 for the show. I have a feeling that I would like the manga much more,but I hate reading. I will never understand why companies arent just following the mangas,its time for them to learn that following the manga is the best thing to do. |
| The series was okay but they effed it up quite badly to be honest, in that it doesn't really stay faithful to the manga but sorta does at the same time but only for a few instances though. Generally, it's unfaithful and I think the anime studio decided to have a lot of characters introduced early on, so as to properly showcase the entire cast to the audience quickly. I'm pretty sure the core audience for this show was undoubtedlymost of the manga readers who adore the manga, but in doing this, has most likely left many of them disappointed and apalled with this adaption. I've read most of the manga (not up to date with it tbh) but even I was having trouble watching this series at times. However, overall I'm gonna give it a 7/10 because it wasn't completely awful but I'm also incredibly generous when it comes to scoring too. |
| The finale was okay. Predictable, cliche, anime ending. I've never read the manga, and I'm hoping there's a season 2. Really sad that Hitomi died. 5/10. |
| Ugh, my God was this a poorly handled adaptation. This was one of the disappointing AND one of the worst animes I've watched from 2012. This series had the potential to be REALLY good...but I think it's pretty obvious that Kinema Citrus had no business adapting this into an anime. |
| I found the premise of this anime quite interesting but because of the female MC being so incredibly annoying and bitching around in stranger's businesses I dropped it back then during ep 4. Some people said in the respective thread it's getting worse with her and it's better to drop it rather 'now' than later. Looking at all the criticism, rage and the rating development on MAL over the course I'm glad I did that. Getting a rating of roughly 7.2 one week after it ended is not entirely bad though but it was constantly falling. I guess it's safe to assume either the hopes were set too high or it was a trainwreck of an anime. |

tsudecimo said: god i hate that sakura so much , it is riduciluos how much a charcter can be corny and annonying lol, I agree. I basically started ignoring her by episode 5, she just cries and says the same stuff over and over. --- Some episodes were so dull that i just skimmed through them, and I have no desire to re-watch it. 4/10 |
 |
| What a terrible shit ending, couldn't they have extended it, the story at least like there is so much to elaborate about!!! Sorry but i give this ending a 2/10 following phantom requiem of phantom which is 1/10 |

ninja_dog said: Ju-da-su said: ninja_dog said: well i didn't care much for the anime i give it like 4/10 just because i made fun of how dumb the casts ideals are. personally i like hitomi and though his point o view was correct and the rest of the cast was being hypocritical.l on top of being a bunch of morons who apparently don't care if there own kind get turned into slaves and live a shorten life span. on top of that ogami's BS unexplained power up ruined the any chances of that fight being okay. though i want to know if i should read the manga if i dislike the characters for reasons listed above. ...I'd say it's completely up to the you guys anime watchers. If I was to watch this anime alone, I probably won't even think of reading this manga (but unfortunately, I've read this manga since long ago already...still like it though, despite of the fact that the anime is a piece of crap...) Since the anime is so much of a piece of crap, they actually will probably never get to one dead fact on all the CBs; the very fact that none of them actually want to work for Eden at all but were more or less forced to...well, all of them except for Heike, actually, but I guess we'll know why Heike still works for Eden soon though. So your saying that the manga actually explains why they are the way they are so they don't seem as narrow minded. If it does that and builds character development then i think i'll read it. This seems to be one of the cases where the anime gives the entire series a bad rap. If you haven't read it which i was going to watch the anime first to see if it was worth reading ,but since they did a horrible job at it i guess i can't judge it based on the anime. It's been quite a while since I read the manga and I really didn't get all that far into it, but I can tell you it does a better job of doing it than the anime does. However, I stopped reading shortly after Yuuki was introduced (and trust me, he was introduced MUCH later in the manga than he was in the anime. I think they introduced him around the 2nd or 3rd episode of the anime when he wasn't introduced until chapter 35 or so in the manga. That should put into perspective just how much content the anime skipped over. P.S. Remember that short battle between Hitomi & Yukihina vs. Yuuki early on in the anime? Yeah...that never happened in the manga. |
