| I think I have cancer. 1/10 for the ending, 3/10 as a whole. Might lower it to 2/10 though, I'll see. |
 |
| This anime flew too fast for me. If the pacing was slower it would had been great, but I guess I can leave that excitement for Devil Survivor 2 remake. |

morshuwarrior said: This show was... really stupid. No idea why I even sat through the whole thing. 4/10. Yeah not a very good show... gave it a 4/10 as well. |
 |
| I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see Polaris. The Asspulls in this were pretty funny. I mean Hibiki being saved and the demon fusion. I wonder why didn't Yamamoto use the fusion of during the trials. This was a decent ending. |
 |
| Still a better love story than Clannad, though (: |
 |
| Hahaha I was right!!! I knew he would summon Lucifer since Lu is the strongest demon in the game. After all he maxed out friendship with Alcor thus unlocking Lucifer for summoning. They used his angel form (Helel) instead of the demonic form, but it's okay, he's handsome! Overall, ending is predictable, they changed so many things from the game, rushed it freaking fast, and kill people off for no reason but still enjoyable because of the OP & ED and the insert song. I'll give this adaption...probably 5-6/10 Now wait for persona 3 the movie!!! |
| I am the Marshmallow of Justice Platinum is my body and Disco in my blood I have created over 9000 Platinum toothbrushes Unknown to Ghosts, Nor known to Demons Have withstood Vampires, Phoenix & Bee to create many Parodies Yet, those hands will never hold anything So as I pray, Unlimited Platinum Works! |
| Bleh, this series was pretty disappointing. I gave it a 6/10 and the only reason why was the animation and music was downright fantastic. This series was a heaping mess from a character development standpoint. |
Kerozinn said: I agree."a friends demon has arrived" ASSPULL! I know it was suppose to be a serious fight scene but as soon as Hibiki got the other demons I was laughing throughout the enitre battle. YAMATO!!!! HIBIKI!!!! Lmao I didnt like seeing Yamato so worked up...he was suppose to be the always cool character. Everything after the fight was really nice. Seeing everyone again and Yamato's reaction at the end was the best. |
This anime was soo slow -_- |
| Sigh... I actually hoped the fight between Hibiki and Yamatato would be awesome. I got a boring and repetitive conversation with a demon hug at the end. The only good thing about the first part of the episode was the demon fusion, which was introduced way too late btw. We didn't even get to see Polaris. The second part was better. But now that I think about it, the anime didn't even show the backgrounds for most of the characters. As far as I remember, it was never said that Keita wanted to be a famous boxer in the future, which makes his little 'happy ending scene' at the end kinda pointless. At least we do know that he is happy now, right? Overvall, it was a mediocre adaption of an awesome game. |

| No one mentioned that six-tits-satan yet? Why? |

| Wtf was that with those summons? Aren't Lucifer and Satan the same being? Plus they even hugged each other. :/ But w/e, slow episode, ending everybody expected, nothing new here. |
 |
| lol am I the only one who freakin' LOVED this anime? I don't really mind all the inconsistencies in it. And this last episode was awesome! That battle was really nice. Awh I'm gonna miss my Yamato-sama. :( |

| Poor Hibiki, why is he so happy? Seems like he could have a great world and sacrificed everything to leave humans a chance. Not my favorite ending, but it was well done. At least for who knows Shin Megami Tensei it makes sense. Lucifer vs Satan, that was a good and short battle, but my favorite is still the angel Metatron, this time with a dark skin. I don't know about grade should I give to Desu2 animation, I'll think it a bit. |
 |
| 8/10 I liked this show I guess it because of the fact that I haven't played the game nor own a 3DS. The final battle was boring until the end when his friend's demons were transferred. I guess I was hoping for more action than what I got in the end. The conclusion after the battle was satisfying, but typical happy ending. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Well I think this show had some good themes and the art and sound was really good, and there were a few exciting moments, but mostly everything was just so predictable and cheesy and it gets very tiresome after a while. The Hibiki-Yamato fight was terrible, especially the whole "a friend's demon has arrived" bullshit, I laughed at how crappy this show is when that happened. You could see what was coming a mile off. Hibiki would defeat him, and then everything would return to how it was, except there would be no demons. It would've been interesting to see Yamato's world though. I was rooting for him throughout the show even though I knew he would eventually lose. I suppose this would appeal to a younger audience though, I can imagine I'd enjoy this show if I was a kid. Still, I feel like I'm being too generous giving this a 5/10. |

| Obviously they have to summon the bad boys coughluciferandsatancough good ending ^^b 8/10 |
| Battle that has more talk than fighting. Gattai, huh? And others' devil getting to Hibiki. After stopping him, back to the beginning. In the end, those two are the ones who have the memories of the week somehow. ED with everyone back! |

| gonna play the game in near future... 8/10 |
     |
| I see they kept demon fusion, and demon transferring to the protagonist features from the game...but with his friends all dead to send them, a little late to the party, no? Or does Polaris's domain just have bad reception, I don't know. It seems they threw out all the demon fusion recipes since practically none of them work in the games, using maybe only one of the mentioned demons in the anime for each demon. For example, Yamato used Nebiros and Zao gongen together to make Satan, but it's impossible in the game to use those two together. Not to mention Hibiki had a hack fest with his rule-breaker fusion willy nilly...way to disrespect the source material creators; from when you first took on this adaption. And fansubbers...Jack Frost!? They did it again, goddammit! I thought they would have rectified their mistake by now. Ending: Only Hibiki and Yamato remember, because only those two made it to Polaris's domain? That's the only reason I can think of. Hibiki is still too emo. Could have done without the breakdown on his knees after seeing Yamato alive and well. Ending was as I thought it'd be. Too bad no Polaris fight...but with all his friends dead, it'd be pointless. If I never played the game, or played it after watching the anime, I'm sure I'd enjoy it a lot more. But since I didn't, needless to say my opinion of the show was overall meh. I think they would have done well to stretch out the series to at least double the number of episodes, so around 24+ to flush out character development that they scrapped here, if they wanted to do a proper adaption, which they don't because they just care about ratings, and disc sales. I don't see why everyone is all up in arms about Alcor at the end. He only said humanity didn't need him anymore, it's not like he's dead (anymore)...he could of just returned to being an overseer of humanity instead of the one lending a hand or meddling in human affairs. Still waiting on Devil Survivor Overclocked adaption, and Persona 1-3, done properly unlike this poorly written show...although I'm not holding my breath, since their upper brass seem to be all idiots hellbent on letting numbers and money steer good stories into the ground. Final thoughts: 7/10, only because it was Devil Survivor 2, and nothing more. if it were any other title I didn't care about, it'd be 1/10 for Appalling. ...Persona 3 Anime did it better. Although still not as good as the game. |
| Yeah, was not what I was expecting but ok. Hibiki vs. Yamato was good, but after that the show ended for me. But still a good anime, well animated, and I really enjoyed it. :) |
| For anyone who has played the game, was the ending use Daiichi's Route? I've played it twice using the Alcor and Yamato's route so I don't know there's this kind of ending in the game |
CloudValkyrieJun 27, 2013 7:36 PM
| Demon fusion saved the day, yay. 8/10 because Yamato. |
| Please understand. |
| Meh, 6/10 for the show. |
| 4/10 |
 |
| The series started ok. But 13 episodes was not enough. I don't get how people think that like in a 9 hour game (I haven't played the game and just giving an example). Also the ending was kind of gay. At least they should have done a big colission between Lucifer and Satan. But no, there was nothing. Just a ''happy hug'' and the annoying POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. I thought it was going to be a very enjoyable series but it really dissapointed me. Well I give it 5/10 I love it's music, animation and somehow I love the character of Hibiki and Ureu Mono. But I thought it would be enjoyable but it was a let down. |
| This was totally a predictable ending, but I liked it. It was still sort of disappointing, but this type of anime rarely has an ending that suits my taste. It felt like allot of the epicness was drained away by the ending, though it wasn't as bad as something else I had read before so I'm happy. Still, I liked the anime, but the ending felt a little rushed, especially Yamato and Hibiki's battle. |
| As expected, power of frienship never fails. I wanted Yamato to win, but I'm ok with this ending. And Yamato remembers!!! Hibiki/Yamato = OTP OF THE SEASON 8/10 |
| I think this one, like Persona 4 The Animation, is more of a story for the fans of the games. I do feel like it should've been a longer series as much was rushed at the end. It was still good though. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| That outcome! Taking the fight to the Yamato x Hibiki was 100% shounen digimon and style, the rest until he got carried away, even though everyone should have wished for a less cliché and unexpected end, I confess that I enjoyed this course, it may sound too happy, but the final message until it was cool, Yamato has finally filled your heart and everyone having a new choice to move on, unlike Evangelion, humanity won, though I've always been in favor of the ideals of Yamato, the world would be better if resumed. Now is adapt them to wait for Devil Survivor, the best game in the franchise. |

 |
| Eh, series was ok to me. I really didn't see Yamato as a villain or an antagonist though. In some sense, he was right, but Hibiki had a good reason to stop him. |

Pretty much this. QFT - Not to be a hater, but there was simply no logical sequence in how the events played out. I'm still perplexed of the ending myself ... Hibiki cries after hearing Yamato's slight remark? That and a cliche ending battle that's resolved with words. Nicely done. Yeah ... not really. 3/10 is my final rating for the series. |
| 「一人殺せば犯罪者だけど、千人殺せば英雄になれる。百万人殺せば征服者だし、絶滅させれば神よ」 |
| Although the overall series fell flat for me, I really did enjoy the ending.. I think my favourite scenes in the show were when Yamato and Alcore were together. |

Actually only Yamato hacked, since Nebiros is 1 rank lower than Satan of the same race, while MC follow the original source to the very end: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=f2j6mo&s=5 http://www.gamershell.com/faqs/shinmegamitenseidevilsurvivor2demonlist/0.9/ I don't have my DS with me now so can't check for you, but check out those links for the fusion combination then you will see all of those Hibiki used was working, keep in mind they never mention demon levels here so they can be any lvl as our OP main character see fit. Berserker (Touki) x Lugh (Deity) = Zouchouten (Kishin) Lorelei (Fairy) x Black Frost (Jaki) = Purple Mirror (Haunt/Ghost) Zouchouten (Kishin) x Purple Mirror (Haunt/Ghost) = Arioch (Vile) Suzaku (Avian) x Pallas Athena (Megami) = Metatron (Divine) Byakko (Avatar) x Arioch (Vile) = Loki (Tyrant) Metatron (Divine) x Loki (Tyrant) is the only special fusion recipe for Lucifer.....well they did use Helel model, but it's the same demon king we all know, so Hibiki really pulled off a great fusion chain. |

| This episode is 3/5 , overall this anime is a great series. My last score for this one is 9/10. I enjoyed the series , very. very. enjoyed. Except the last episode..there are certain things which are not necessary 'to be animated'. The quality and consistency of its art + the musics and soundtracks + the potrayal of the characters = 9/10 sincerely from me, with an exceptional lack of battle , since its one of shounen-thing~ But I really wonder what exactly happened at the ending..? I perhaps need to do some 'research' and re-watch this episode again and use this brain thoroughly so that I can maybe comprehend the message they trying to give. Again , great series , my favorite , and I love Devil Survivor 2 The Animation. Of course , I wouldn't be surprise IF they suddenly do a movie of it or a sequel because I can clearly see the possibility. :) |

Kerozinn said: pp813 said: I think that was a great ending :) And how Yamato reacted when Hibiki came to see him :') dont take this personal: u gave that plot blackhole called SAO 10/10. ur opinion is moot. Take it personally if you want to, but I could say the same thing about you. I do respect your opinion and all but the moment you start targeting others based on how they rate their anime, welp, time to start Let's not even mention Aku no Hana, the moment you dropped more than 15 anime your opinion is moot. What's more among them are Gintama and Nichijou. Also you didn't even finish that "plot blackhole" so I am not sure what you are using as a basis to judge it? Feel free to refute, if it is reasonable why not? |
