| It was a rather interesting series. I at first thought it would be rather bland, however throughout the series it got a bit more interesting with the whole "crew going insane" aspect. Overall it didn't quite win me over in terms of character which was a large portion of this anime however I still liked it, so would rate it a 7/10. |
 |
| Overall I enjoyed this series, now easily one of my favorites. The OST has some standout music. Kouji and Ikumi have a strong relationship if they were able to forgive one another after the craziness they went through. I like the ending, although it seemed kind of strange that so many of the students returned to the ship after having been trapped on it for 8 months in a life or death situation. It would be great to see more of Neeya or the cast in general, though it's hard to find artwork or anything for the series. |
| A nice ending :) Good to see how much the characters have progressed in one year. Also good to see how many of the cast returned to the Ryvius; shows they have put the bad experiences behind them and ready for a fresh start. A bit more info on the Sphix and how they were created would have been nice. Neya was a pretty decent character at the end, maybe she has feelings for Kouji :P Also I think Faina commited suicide or something, since she couldn't get the future she wanted. Overall, a great, and undoubtedly underrated series. Unbelievably realistic cast of characters, good story and a good soundtrack. 9/10 |

| So Blues came back I guess? So glad people like Michelle (Criss's sister) didn't show up. I still wanted to see how the brothers' relationship will develop. I really had wished Faina stayed with Kouji. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I'm so glad that psychotic bitch Faina didn't come back. I agree with everyone who mentioned how it was strange to see so many characters return after all the horrible trauma they went through, that was just really unrealistic. I'm not fond of any of the characters besides Neeya perhaps - a tiny little bit - but I still liked the show. Usually, disliking the characters results in dislike for the whole thing, so this is a first for me. 7/10 |
 |
| I like this ending episode. Overall, it was a very good series. I like the interactions between the characters and for a 1999-2000 series, I thought the animation was pretty good. The thing I liked the best is all the music: OP and ED were great and the presence of a great variety of BGM is very enjoyable. I still think Yuki is a badly written character and I can't stand his groans. I also don't agree with that rape scene. |
| A immensely satisfying ending to a phenomenal series that kept me glued to the screen and always coming back for more. I know i finished a good show cause i feel so sad that its over. It had masterful characterization that isnt afraid to show the more flawed aspects behind people while combining that with excellent character development for the entire cast. This was truly a special show and Its immensley under rated Its a very enthusiastic 9/10 for me, hopefully ill be able to convince some others to give this little gem a go. |

| I kind of thought the ending was a letdown. After all that drama I was hoping for a big climactic payoff. But now they're all friends again, all is forgiven. I dunno, just seemed strange, kind of made the rest of the struggles the characters went through meaningless. Overall a great show though, I was really gripped while watching. The smart editing gave everyone in the huge cast screentime, and divulged all the plot info necessary, while keeping the pace thin and light. This show could easily have been extremely bloated and confusing but it wasn't. 8/10. |
| ^ well i wouldnt say all is well, they clearly were addressing the mistakes made by certain characters, especially ikumi and kyouji which deifnetly addressed visually that there was tension but that they were willing to move past that in forgiveness, edven the yuuki blue thing really had no release of the tension as yuuki only seemed happy that he beat blue finally. The only thing this ending kind of dissapointed me in was the faina killing someone was kind of glossed over, then again for all we know she could be in jail or something on her home planet. |

JizzyHitler said: ^ well i wouldnt say all is well, they clearly were addressing the mistakes made by certain characters That's true. It's not so much that they forgave each other, but I wish something had come of their dispute before it happened. It felt like the whole series was building up to some amazing tragedy that never got to happen. Maybe I was just rooting for a bad end? :p |
walla said: Well the main thing with the series was about not letting your past consume you but rather using the mistakes one made to move forword in the future, if they had let it end in tragedy it would kind of devalue that moral cause it would just be them being eaten by their past mistakes.

 |
| ^ Still, if it was ME, I would never step in that ship again lol. By the way, it's funny how Ikumi isn't in the cover but Cullen is. |
 |
| I really liked this show and the character development was one of the best I've ever seen. Still there were some boring scenes. 8/10. |
| Its one of those animes that don't leave an impression on the watcher imo, main concept was great but idk about the execution, also weird that they all returned to the damn ship and the main course is to Titania where a psyco girl lives so the main character can discuss stuff with her lol 6.5/10. |
| Very good show! Good plot and art, as well as BGM. Some of the characters were annoying as he'll though. Yuki's attitude ruined a great deal of the show for me. Aoi's friend, the captain, Blue, the green haired girl, Ikumi in the last few episodes though I liked him at first. With that many annoying characters I'd probably have dropped it was it not for the good plot. Overall very satisfied with the anime 8/10 I was wondering between 9 and 8 but there were few boring places and the characters, so 8 from me. |

| this is quite interesting anime |

It's been almost 3 years since I watched it and I still feel the same way. The whole thing just felt like a huge waste of time, there was so much potential and it was all wasted. |
ArkX said: It's been almost 3 years since I watched it and I still feel the same way. The whole thing just felt like a huge waste of time, there was so much potential and it was all wasted. At its core, it is a psychological drama. It's just a whole bunch of kid losing themselves to stress, adrenaline, and some clash of view. I feel that the show is good for what it is, even if some characters are a bit unrealistically portrayed. It's not a dark show, and so, it's not failing as a result of not being one. |
| I really wanted Faina to get some of what was coming to her. I understand coming back to the ship but everyone? That is just too out there. Overall I liked this show for being the psychological drama it was. 8/10 |
 |
| In the short-term, the deaths on the Ryvius were meaningless and that makes the happy ending a little hard to swallow but I'm still glad that's how they did it. I mean. what happened to Gran and Son (the first betrayers on Vital Guarder)? If they weren't saved (from their cells?) it would suck because betrayal was handled so inconsistently that it's hard to feel good when some people get a new start and others don't for no real tangible reason. Blue's crew members are redeemed only because they can escape from prison? Blue is redeemed because he has a cool haircut? I don't know if the show makes a strong case for me to care about those characters or be happy that they survived. Chalk one up for realism, maybe I'm mistaken for being bothered by that. It also doesn't help that the show gives the feeling that a lot of suffering (and death) were in vain mainly because the danger from the enemy turned into salvation so abruptly, and doubly so because their rescue wasn't caused by anything the children did. I think Ikumi was more right than wrong, at least in theory, and I don't agree with the idea that the show is trying to tell us something about social order, after all differing kinds of tyranny were almost always effective on the ship. The Ryvius contained a make-shift society with limited resources and an unstable youth population, it would be unrealistic to think that we could learn something about regular governance from this. Temporary and emergency are the key words here. Also, KAA's subs after Ikumi destroyed the one section read: "There were no signs of anyone remaining in [x] section..." I'm going to read that as all escaped unless that's a translation error and it should be "are no signs of life.." (Although it would be ironic if the victim lying unconscious was killed and the delinquents got away). Maybe Ikumi isn't actually a genocidal maniac, I don't know. I don't know how to feel about Kouji either, the 'sympathy' he showed others was selective and seemed to be inspired by his selfishness. If he was in charge I'd bet there'd be even more deaths on the ship. I'm glad they stopped shitting all over Lucson, honestly he was probably the best character. Wikipedia mentions an engagement ring on Juli's finger. Didn't notice it at first, but it's there. Her character wouldn't have undergone any change if it is actually Blue's, which would make her even less sympathetic. The fact that this anime made me type so much means I was emotionally invested beyond a superficial level. Despite other flaws I think this is a 7 or 7.5/10. |
| Well, I'm glad that I was proven wrong, though the mechanic of the Sphix is still unclear to me. Why was it that certain ships drove their crew insane, while the Ryvius was, well, better off in certain respects? As physical manifestations of the ship, what purpose do they serve mechanically? As a narrative tool, Neeya served extremely well to voice the inner thoughts of all the kids, making her potentially the most complicated character in the show, if just by how she embodies everyone's thoughts, insecurities and dreams. Still, that issue aside, the end journey of this anime was nothing less than incredible. That final confrontation with all the last reveals showing up to close out the journey. That being said, while I'm not exactly surprised, it still makes me ponder why so many of the kids decided to return to the Ryvius after all they've experienced. The future of humanity is one thing, but I guess after living through such a traumatic experience, returning to everyday life was impossible. That too is quite tragic, but I was glad to see everyone's story arcs coming to their conclusions. Once again, this was not an easy anime to watch, but I'm extremely glad that I made it to the end. |
Shocked said: Once again, this was not an easy anime to watch, but I'm extremely glad that I made it to the end. Well said, it was boring at times but more and more I was approaching the climax I couldn't bring myself to stop watching, the ending was top tier, everything went together and it felt so satisfying. The scene with Kouji laughing in episode 25 was one of my favourite scene in this anime and one I'll remember for years I think. And.... Aoi best girl http://imgur.com/a/qMfBm |
| So ends this journey of a pretty great show. It had it flaws, but it pulled at my own emotional strings which shows it did its job. I guess the ending was alright. I'm still a little confused about the Ryvius, but that was just a backdrop to what the main storyline was. 8/10 for me. |
| This anime was almost a Lord of the Flies. William Golding would be proud. |
| Wow, very nice and uplifting ending. It still makes me also feel melancholic in a way and I also think another one or two episodes before this epilogue would've been benefitting. The plot was interesting, yet it took a backseat in favor of the characters. They had interesting ones on board, but unfortunately the portrayal and development of some came too short. The drama was always top notch, tho and the tension was there pretty much all the time. Even some of soundtracks they used were nice, except for the hip hop. Great watch overall 7,5/10 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| kinda anti climatic ending, still satisfying as a sort of epilogue tho. honestly this last five episodes made up for all the boring "arcs", overall 7/10, good show but really flawed. i like the ost and some ideas are pretty clever but the script is at best decent and at worst absolutely abysmal, bad pacing and lots of boring and shitty episodes. could've been much better. |
 |
| definite contender for worst anime i ever seen |
| So in the end nobody died but a bunch of nobodies. ArkX said: Was anybody else really disappointed by this show? It had so much potential but refused to commit to being a dark show by doing something actually dark and failed as a result of it. Episode 26, this last episode felt out of place. Everyone's happy and none of the crew members with actual character developments faced any consequence. This ending felt lackluster but overall the journey itself was pretty entertaining. |
| The ending was just terrible and stupid. Some of them coming back would be acceptable but everyone coming back is down right re.....it doesn't make much sense to even risk it all by hiring some of the nuttier ones. |
| Honestly I'm not really disappointed by the ending. I'll admit, I was surprised they decided to go for a happy ending. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that they didn't show Blue. He's definitely on the ship (After all, Juli's there) and Yuki had his ass handed to them. Honestly this show isn't terrible but I found it hard to be invested in the characters until the very end and even then I only cared about some of them. The last few episodes after Ikumi went insane were the best episodes to watch. |
| There's a trope in anime, where a whole series can go by, the characters grow and develop, but nothing actually changes, and I feel like that's happened here. The characters end where they began. If there were a sequel to this show, it could start off almost exactly the same, with the same characters hating each other, coming into conflict with one another, etc. Its one of the tropes that I don't like, because it makes me think that all of the struggles throughout the series were meaningless if there is no discernible growth or change in the character. It cheapens the story because it almost seems like actions don't have lasting consequences. Why are all of these characters coming back to a place that caused them such trauma? Show how they changed, what changes they've made in their lives as a result, and have some lasting differences. My biggest gripe about this show is that I didn't like any of the characters. I feel like Kouji was supposed to be the main hero, but I'm still mystified about what he stands for, or what his motivations are. I feel the same about almost all of the characters, except Blue, Faina, and Ikumi. Most of them are just...there. Reacting to the situation in mostly ineffectual ways. They don't make me root for them, or show aspects of their personalities that are endearing. I enjoyed the setting, the overall story, and the animation was fine, but the characters could have been vastly improved. |
| Yep, can't say I enjoyed this series but the setting and character development was at least interesting. People kept describing it as lord of the flies in space and I can see why now. |
 |
| Okay, but why did they decide to go aboard the Ryvius despite being stranded in there for several months? If I were one of the victims, I would never step in that ship again. Also, what the hell happened to Kozue and Blue? |
  |
| I'd give it a 7/10. It was a 6/10 for me until the last few episodes decided to shoo out most of the irrelevant antics and finally approach the epic space-opera fantasy territory that I had initially expected from this anime. Probably not all that realistic for so many of them to be returning to the Ryvius, considering how many of them ended up hating being on it, but at least it made Neya happy. Infinite Ryvius is a very weird watch, and the character interactions ended up being more likeable than most of the characters themselves. It often finds itself being so close to writing genius scenes, but also consistently finds a way to stunt them with banal results. The last third of it definitely saves the series, and allowed it to crawl out of that lethargic bog of social drama and inconsequential squabbling that caused the middle episodes to drag on. |
