| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So a trial to wrap up the series huh? I guess that's kinda fitting.. The episode felt a bit awkward although I'm not surprised some people are against Cecil in this case. Poor her...and I kinda thought that courtroom case would turn into chaos. Felt way rushed though. Oh well. And looks like Hotaru and Cecil are getting a long much better with even a hug. That's cute. What's with the ending...Moyo still has a big question mark on her head. |

| The trial was good. That guy got what he deserved. Still want to know who Moyo really is. Maybe another season will do to answer these questions. |
 |
| I liked the ending of the series, too bad the episode before this was badly animated so it's stuck with a score of six. Mod Edit: Removed quote of a deleted post. |

| This one gets a nice lil' 4/10 for at least getting me to watch every week. |
| If I have learned anything from Galilei and WizBrrs airing in back-to-back seasons, it's that Umetsu is more suited to the condensed OVA format that plays to his strengths as an action choreographer. I already got that he's a style over substance director from watching Kite and Mezzo Forte, but the extended time frame of a TV series just lets his weaknesses as a storyteller stick out more and I've heard the Mezzo Forte TV series didn't turn out that well either. On the bright side, the animation looks like it's back up to par and at the very least, this was a little more climactic than Galilei's ending. 5/10 |
 |
| Wow, that end was like a giant fuck you. Fuck this show. 3/10 |
| Oh boy, the writing skill of this series is getting into the abysmal level. Painful to say that generic harem series of the season have better consistency than this in terms of "plot" Although this is one of the only series that makes me laugh despite not being a comedy. |

| this was my favourite of the season.......and then episode 11 happened. |
| Moyo and the animation seem to be back to normal :P @2:20 what's with that scene? Damn you ep 11... Finally her dad confessed and find out what exactly the hair accessories do. The heck when did the Grimoire get transformed into the orb? Stupid episode 11 :/ Really another ending on a cliffhanger... This is the 3rd anime this season >.> I would enjoy another season though, especially if episode 11 ever get's fixed. |
| pretty meh especially the second half. 5/10 |
| I thought we knew Moyo was Lucifer? They were pretty clear about it. What's the big secret about? Meh series is meh. |
 |
| Well, that was an alright ending. 6/10 as a whole. |
 |
| Well that was a huge disappointment/waste of time. It's like storyboard writers for original anime aren't even trying these days. |
| Biggest farce of a trial yet, saved the best for last lol. This episode may have been worse than 11 overall. Humongous waste of time. VanishingKira said: Hopefully they don't ruin Gokukoku no Brynhildr next season. Ahh this so much. Not looking too good, but I'd at least hope they'd put together a better team for an Okamoto Lynn adaptation. |

|
| It was enjoyable, but episode 11 killed the anime for me I don't know if I'd like to watch a second season |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| I absolutely loved this anime, and yet the ending ruined it. It was so rushed, and there are so many unanswered questions? Who's Moyoyon? Did her mom live? Did that guy get a guilty verdict? What is the big case about? I really hope this gets a second season. |
| ~ ビーせんぱい We stand in awe of that which cannot be seen, and we respect with every fiber that which cannot be explained. |
| Great series. 8/10. I just wish they would have let us know if Cecil's mother is in the clear. Given how the trial went, she should be, but with all that WUD hatred, who knows. Pretty sure Moyo is an incarnation of Lucifer of some sorts, but they should have just said it instead of cutting it off! |

Solkiskey said: Wow, that end was like a giant fuck you. Fuck this show. I know right, do they even care about their audience? Although it's been said many times already despite only two pages of comments...this was a waste of time. This was one of the shows that I should've dropped since episode 2-3 because it didn't get any better. |
| I'm so disappointed. Magic and lawyers? It had so much potential and yet...and yet...gahh! The writing was like it peaked on one episode, dropped in quality, plateau'd there and never recovered. I was never one to nitpick over animation but episode 11...oh wow. Yeah I think we don't even have to talk about that. It's a taboo topic. Everyone probably felt cheated. It still had some fun parts though. I especially liked Moyoyon who turned out to be really the most interesting character in the show (but was given so little screen time). 5/10. Escaped the 'bad' territory by a hair's breadth. |

| LOL. Seems like ARMS ruins everything. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Meh ending. Meh anime. At least it wasn't the worst anime this season. |
| 7/10 for the interesting premise. Had a lot of potential but wasted it. Story was a little rushed. Do not want a second season unless they step up on the animation and story. |
JRadagast said: So after 11 episodes, they finally get a decent trial. Wait. A trial in which the victim and witness is allowed to be on the defendant's side... The biggest farce of trial I have seen, far worse than anything shown in this series so far... Please, at least put some effort in this... |

Still want to know who Moyo really is. Maybe another season will do to answer these questions. Tohka_Yatogami said: Makusu finally got imprison. I still wonder what's Moyo's true identity is. Moyo = Lucifer. This was made about as obvious as it can be without having someone come right out and say it on screen. Because the conspirators either screwed up or did not fully understand what they needed to do, Lucifer was partially summoned when they killed and brought back Cecil. By accident or design, Lucifer stayed in their world and either possessed or took the form of a human, Tento Moyo, with either the initial or eventual goal of getting close to Cecil, whom Lucifer is infatuated with due to her impressive powers. This explains why Moyo was all over Cecil from the beginning, as well as the unusually impressive capabilities she showed. As for the episode, this series would have been better if it had cut off after episode 11. While the trials were always rather poorly presented, this went more like an episode of Jerry Springer. In fact, even allowing it to happen this way is a massive deus ex machina, as the conflict of interest is so great that a real trial could not occur. I do have to drop my score based on this mess. Though, for the record, the "trial" is not over - just postponed, probably because everyone turned it into a 3-ring Circus. Makusu was sent to the prison pending a continuation of the trial due to his violent acts in the courtroom. However, he's a goner when the evidence is presented. |

| Still traumatized by the previous episode's quality lol. This anime was pretty bland. |
 |
| don't know why i found that guy getting crushed by the debris funny as hell not sure this might of been one of the worst shows this season it's pretty close with mahou sensou 5/10 |
 |
| That was the biggest case of mistrial I've ever seen, even if you ignore the fact that a witness/victim was allowed to be a defendant. Seriously maybe research legal laws a bit if you're going to revolve the show around magical trials. At least it was better than Mahou Sensou. |
 |
| The actual court cases make no sense, the only set rules seem to be that whatever the plot needs become the rules. I liked the art style at least. |
| An interesting premise that ultimately was poorly executed due to a bland story, poor direction and at times nefarious animation. A shame really because I liked some of the characters. |
