uran10 said: This show is gonna get a lot of haters -reads previous comments- yep a ton of haters. The show wasn't bad but it didn't live up to expectations. I didn't start with any expectations, I never heard of it up until this season started. The plot holes were so large and inexplicable that it completely ruined any redeemable factor the show may have had in the first place. I'm not saying it's bad because it disappointed my expectations, for I had none to begin with. I'm saying it's bad because of the absolute lack of any definite conclusion to any of the open plots they started. |
| Well that fucking made a lot of sense |
| 4/10 (i already feel like this is a very generous score lol) horrible lol |
| Seriously what the fuck is with that middle of the story ending? Is that some lame try to make people buy dvd so they can make second season? This episode was more interesting than rest of them together. And if they did rest of the episodes interesting like this1 many ppl would like this anime and would want second season. But this is just fucking stupid thing to do. |
| Thanks Madhouse for that nice cliffhanger ending to a bad show. Very nice way to end it with absolutely nothing resolved. |
| Indeed horrible I would actually prefer they would actually stick with the plot instead of rushing it. Why did Towa went against Takashi? I guess is better to pick up LN for it. |

| What kind of ass pull was this?! Second season? I hope not. Let's just leave this one alone. Sent with Mal Updater |

| With an ending like that, I expect a second season where Kurumi transforms into Hulk Hogan and beats the ever-loving crap out of Gekkou and the people who directed the first season. And by "expect" I don't just mean I want it, I mean I actually believe it might happen. |

Lennevalkyrie said: What the flying fuck.... freaking cliffhanger. S.2 pretty pls but nah that wont happen >.> It was a nice series but this end really is bad. I agree a flipping cliff hanger ending. At least make a second season. Hidan no aria at least didn't leave us a cliff hanger ending. There had better be a second season. |
 |
| kinda feels like a big punch in the face |
 |
| That cliffhanger....S2? Hope not. |

| Lol wtf kind of ending was that? |
 |
| Wow that had to be the best episode and yet why was it the last one? There better be a second season I'll even take an OVA they just can't end it like this. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Is Kazuma Takeshi? Why else would he have a picture of isoshima and call Takeshi's mother his own mom? |
| Kazuma =Takashi V= Kurumi 0____________________________0 So Takashi has to change the past : OOOOOO |
| Wow hahha I despise it when studios bait another season when the chances of it happening are close to none. This episode made me so mad holy shit. Takeshi is so naive. Why the hell would you completely lower your guard like that. If Isoshima had to save Takeshi, why did she have to block? She couldn't have just pulled him back? Or in any other direction to avoid getting hit? I don't?? Gekkou's motives are so bad. I don't even understand his motives. He claims that everyone wants him dead (even this is a bit of stretch; the only person who tried to kill him was his mother, did Takeshi even push him? It looked more like he was trying to pull/push him away from the truck) and alright, fair enough, but why doesn't he just tell him how he really feels rather than almost killing his own brother and running away from responsibility. This anime had potential to be mediocre if not good, but it didn't even do that. The art/animation was terrible (especially in comparison to the light novel illustrations which were beautiful). The story was just horribly executed and it was just a mess. Maybe a second season would fix some plot holes but since there probably won't be a second season it's just how it is and it's pretty crap. 5/10 I'm being generous and I have to think over some things so I may or may not lower it later. |
| what a mindfuck and cliffhanger. oh my days. |
 |
| Man... what the fuck was that? seriously wtf I just watched? Before watching this episode I was like: Well the whole anime had a lote of shit i think that the last episode can't be worse than the whole series... AND SUPRISE! THEY DID IT! |
| I'm not sure why so many people are saying the show was terrible, or that it won't sell or get another season. But, I'm not saying this was a great show either. It wasn't, it really, really wasn't. The plot was, indeed, full of cliche and overused formulas. That is a given, and cannot be helped really. It was rushed in a lot of places with the whole narration thing, making the entire series feel more like a prologue to something bigger. But, it was not terrible, nor was it deserving of all the hate it's getting. It's only natural that not everyone will enjoy this series, especially those who've read the manga or suffer from the delusions that every new series that is put out HAS to be completely original with a story written as well as the best novels/screenplays in the history of the world. And, most of the people reading this comment will probably not even know what I just said, and instead will try to take it at face value and miss out on the actual truth of my statement. Moving on. Takeshi really is the biggest idiot of all time. I've seen some idiot characters over the years, but how stupid can one kid be? But, it's part of what made his character. He's naive, immature, innocent, and a victim of some of the absolute worst parenting in the history of bad parenting. Gekkou. Where to begin with this piece of trash? He's probably the most self-centered and ego-maniacal character I've seen in recent years, tho I could be wrong and just not thinking clearly because of how much he annoyed the hell out of me. Does anything else really need to be said here? The rest of the characters didn't get development at all, really. Mui was adorable, and provided great fanservice, and could have been a great female lead if this show wasn't obsessed with the most useless female character of all time(Kurumi). Mui's brother, he was pretty much only around when they needed an enemy or someone to save them. Ida had potential to be a great character, but was sadly left in the background until they needed his magic for some petty thing that was obviously there just to give him a reason to show up on screen. Back to the story. We were given, in the beginning, the groundwork for a good story(no matter how many times it's been told before). But, it never went anywhere. It escalated, but never went anywhere. It twisted and turned, but never went anywhere. Which is why I said up top that this seemed more like a prologue. However, despite it not going anywhere and being rushed in some places, it was still interesting and entertaining to watch. You just have to shut your brain off and stop trying to convince yourself you have no expectations when you really have unreasonable expectations. The Ending. Oh, that McBullshit. Once again, I say, this seemed more like a prologue. That ending was not a cliffhanger, it was a kick in the balls. Obviously a cheap ploy to build interest for another season, or at least an OVA. If they wanted to do a proper cliffhanger, however, they could have ended it without showing what happened to Takeshi. Show the hit from Director Loli, the explosion and crater, show Mui at the crater with the totally useless one that should have died(Kurumi), and end it there. THAT would have been a proper cliffhanger, instead they start a whole new story and end it there. All in all, I liked this series despite its flaws. There were many. But, it was entertaining and interesting. The ending, and Kurumi, will shave some points off my total and bring it down to a 6/10 |

So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again.

| they better explain this shit ... wtf ..if i knew this would be the end i would've droped it long time ago .. |
| The sword that he stole is become his own. Even Towa became Nightmare. He needed to realize who his brother is, he got tricked again. Childhood girl.. again. Everyone else in each group becoming supportive characters. Wait, that leader... is that main guy from the future? Past story, with the brother?? They time traveled with that attack? |

| Okay?! What was that exactly?! |
| I feel like I just got trolled for some reason, what's up with this anime it didn't explain anything it just gave me another headache. |
 |
| ...So why are we letting japanese scenerize. Seriously. And what's with the blondie. It was such a cliche. At least we got a few battle scenes. That was okay. And gosh Mui is so interesting. WHERE WAS SHE ? Oh right. With the Childhood in love Friend. Gross. |
| Gekkou, piss off already. Rushed, and fell flat real quick. No S2 for this. 4/10. |
 |
| This has to be the best anime I've... Hahahahahaha, I can't. opondica said: With an ending like that, I expect a second season where Kurumi transforms into Hulk Hogan and beats the ever-loving crap out of Gekkou and the people who directed the first season. I laughed at this way more than I should have. Just the thought of her no-selling everything. |

Personally I enjoyed the series, because it is simply entertaining. I hope that this sudden ending of a completely new arc means, that the studio is gonna air a 2nd season for sure, because if this show got a 2nd season I'm pretty sure alot people gonna enjoy it. Why would people "enjoy it" when they hated the fuck out of S1 and it's full of cliche shit? |

| This could have been better. Yeah, 'could have been' but it was not. Pretty meh. 4/10 |
 |
| I am usually pretty generous on my scores for anime shows, but a score of anything above a 5/10 for this is VERY generous. 4/10 |

That's exactly what I'm talking about though, it's just predictions. A lot of people that didn't see it as it aired will marathon it now that it's over, and as I've seen happen before it could easily turn around the sells when dvd/bd come out. I'm not saying it will, I'm not saying it won't. I'm just saying that those say there's not going to be a second season because it's not going to sell are bias, following predictions that back their own personal feelings towards this series. They could end up being right, I don't know, but they could just as easily be wrong.

Why would people "enjoy it" when they hated the fuck out of S1 and it's full of cliche shit? I'm not sure why I'm taking the time to respond to you, you're obviously part of the demographic I was referring to in my original post. But, still, I'll say this much. Yeah, apparently a lot of people hated this series, and those people wouldn't watch a second season IF it were to happen. Unlikely as that is. But, if you look past your own unreasonable bias against "cliche shit" you'd see there are people who were entertained by this series and would like to know what's happening because of that BS ending. On a side note: The "cliche shit" you're referring to? Yeah, that's in everything these days. EVERYTHING. If you don't like "cliche shit", stop watching anime or just stop watching television, movies, cartoons, and anime altogether. Cliche's are everywhere. Everything has been done already, the only thing original about anything being done today is the execution of it. This series lacked in the originality of execution, as I've already said it was full of flaws, but those flaws did not make it any less entertaining. Last, but not least. @Raiyden: You're welcome. I actually posted in another thread about the idea of a second season, as unlikely as that seems to be at this point. Considering my thoughts that this series seems more like a prologue to something bigger, I theorized two possibilities. One, is that they intended a second season from the very start. Two, which expands on that first one, is that they actually created this as a 2-cour but are airing it as two 1-cour series. I theorize this second one simply because of how much that BS ending gives credit to my thoughts that this series seemed more like a prologue than a stand-alone series. |

| Well that was certainly a memorable final episode. I personally enjoyed the Gekkou Takeshi fight as two brothers going at it to potentially resolve conflicts and trying to get some aligned interests is never unwelcome. I like the bonds aspect and how their brotherly love transcends time. Unfortunately that kind of hurt the episode in a huge way especially considering its the final episode. Going back in time made no sense for something occuring at the 20 minute mark and just gave no one any idea what was going on. I guess Light Novel readers would know and that it was a rather cheap tactic to use to get us to go out and read it just to know what happens next, but for an anime and storytelling its like the writer just phoned in it. 6/10. The beginning of the anime started off with promise, the animation and magic effects was pretty low key for the most part and disappointing which is odd for Madhouse (even looking at the No Game No Life PV which looks much better and more refined), and the soundtrack was unmemorable. Had Gekkou not entered into the plot in the last five or so it would have been a rather bad series. Certainly nothing I will buy but it did get me to want to see the LN, and the final fight was actually good. |

| wtf... 4/10 and i'm being generous |
| I think this anime just won some kind of award for shittiest anime of the decade |
| That cheesy terrible OST playing during the fight scene... That fight scene was pathetic! The animation for the fight scene was horrible... This entire Anime needs to taken out back and buried. GOD AWFUL! |
