| I was hoping to see Claire one last time. End up all I get was a glimpse of her. :( |

| ARIEL LOST Suffering ;_; |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| TBH it was disappointing. The writer was trying to show that everyone other than Kal is a victim. I was hoping Claire would have died as part of her retribution and Kal would have forgiven her in her time of dying and hook up with Ari. Nothing much to say. 6/10 |
| Pretty amazing ending...!! I felt all my inner organs when Ari said there are love songs never meant to be told!! OMG !! The whole thing was pretty good... I think this series deserves a second season, and OVA's !! Overall, i give it 9/10 because there were some minor plot things that went unresolved, for example Benji's hand (wtf why does he have both?) and some things that were not fully explained (for example, who were those who offered Kal a post in Isla?) |
| I watched the entire thing in one sitting in about 5 hours, it was an easy show to watch and enjoy, it's also weird I considered doing it after spoiling myself some time ago about Claire's identity as Nina but despite it being somewhat of a major deal, a lot of things in the series continued to surprise me, so it was a worthwhile watch. I haven't seen the movie with Levamme's Princess Fana in it yet but I'm quite intrigued now to go ahead and watch it but I'm going to hold off from it for a bit. The last scene with Claire shows Igna (I reckon it is) and a blonde girl standing behind her in the background. I saw that the blonde girl had a white hairband (I think she was wearing one, regardless her hairstyle was similar to the character I was about to mention) and she's apparently one of the main characters from Toaru Hikuushi e no Seiyaku (the 4th light novel series from the Toaru Hikuushi series) and her name is Mio Seira. So the 1st and 2nd LN series have been adapted, the 3rd LN series is called "Toaru Hikuushi e no Yasoukyoku" and has only 2 volumes, so if this was ever animated it would most likely be a movie or an OVA series, which I would like to see happen as soon as possible because the 4th LN series seems to focus as the Sky Clan pilots as the main characters and according to MAL, our dear Claire is also in it. I wonder what her and Kal's fate will be. I gave this series a 9/10, another one of Necro's recommendations completed. |
| This series has amazing potential.. could have been much better to be honest. Soo.. it took with long depressing story after another and finally ends in such an anticlimactic way. First of all, the mystery behind the sky clan is one of the things that I felt shouldn't have ever be left out.. that's all. Otherwise I did enjoy it truthfully.. didn't watch with huge expectations but it was good. The characters are very nice.. and the cool aerial fights and sceneries are a thumbs up for sure. I'm glad I stick to this until the end.. And another thing.. although I wasn't fond of her at first.. I'm with Ari all the way !!! <3 |
| I actually didn't mind the ending. I liked the series, EXCEPT the thing everyone here seemed to have missed. I'm actually not a huge fan of conflict, but even I can see that they had the perfect set-up for a love-hate thing to go on and they blew it all up in an anticlimactic way. I mean Karl La Hire was planning to kill her, and then when she revealed her identity I was thinking there'd be a huge reaction but instead it was like some BS emo "oh my life sucks" anticlimactic nonsense. They should of had him at the very least get angry enough to kill her or something. They REALLY squandered the opportunities with this plot. Like they could of had Karl try to kill Nina when she's in costume and then her wig falls off or something. Or have him ACTUALLY stab her or something and THEN learn who she is (then kill himself Romeo+Juliet style) or something truly dramatic. But instead it was like Claire: "Hey, you're Karl La Hire aren't you?" Kal:"how'd you know? oh no! you're nina aren't you?!" Claire:"yea" Kal:"That sucks. I'm gonna go mope for a few days. Bye." I mean I was AT LEAST thinking when she was giving her speech he'd be like an Oswald in one of the buildings and try to shoot her. It seems like the writer probably has bad romantic experiences so he personally is not willing to delve/write a more explosive conflict. If anyone read the manga maybe they can tell if the anime's adding of the "NINA VIENTO!" was not in the manga, because it seems out of place. Like he yells angrily ONLY in his head in the anime it seems, because he didn't shock her or attack her or truly get angry with her. |
| I'm sure this isn't the end. They wouldn't do this to us. After all, part three is already out. Damn... Ari fell in love... I was hoping for Igna. And seeing Claire being protected by Igna and someone made me feel a lot better. I knew that chick was a spy. |
 |
| So much death...so much sadness...so much crying...so much warfare...I like it... I only gripe about how almost every anime has the "sister falling in love with the sorta-brother" theme. Can we get an anime that doesn't have that that's pleasing to watch like this? I want to see a 2nd season that fills to loopholes about the spy and if he makes it. And WTF no kiss between the two?! Falling short everytime between them... |
| Damn, just when I thought that this episode was perfect, they completely trashed out Ari's character by making her fall in love with Kal, they both are better with their sibling relationship. I actually didn't mind the open ending, it was good...but, not the anime itself. 4/10, Ari and Igna were the best. |
 |
| How was this an open ending? It wasn't just oh... you can think of the main character saving a princess in a castle being saved by a prince. There was alot of questions unanswered and there will probly be a season season or a movie or something. Like.. the owner of the inn was a spy for the sky clan? Who was those two people behind Claire when it showed her when she was inside the place of the clan's sky. Who was the guy that keeps on saving kal-el. We also haven't really seen much of the main couple after they confessed their feelings to each other. Seems like everything is just getting started. Kal-el is an ace pilot now and he can fight. Why are you guys making such fast assumptions. Its such a new anime. You won't know if theres a second season till you wait. |
Kyuutoryuu said: >Publically says "I love Claire Cruz" >No Claire Cruz to be seen all episode Damn I got trolled. There was a brief scene of her during the ending credits. She was looking out towards the sky, and Ignacio was also there doing his duties as bodyguard. Well at least we have one confirmed couple. Benji and Sharon. The enjoyment was high so I'll give it an 8/10. However, I didn't like how the show just killed most of the cast so easily in less than 5 minutes in that one episode. Ari does indeed love Kal since she says some love songs can't sung. Her love was an impossible one. Ignacio x Ari would be an ok one. She calls him Igna which he doesn't mind. Kal returns to battle with his new prototype. That was a rather quick return trip. Well, hopefully this show gets an OVA at least and we see Claire back with Kal. |
 |
| well i think over all this was a pretty solid series, i wouldnt mind seeing a season 2, but i dont think itll happen, slightly disappointing by the open ended ending though :/ |

We had a few second glimpse of Claire, really not digging the open ending, so inconclusive... Oh well, maybe that's just how this show had to end. |

Yes it the last episodes were rushed, what we really want is a proper closure, we want a satisfying ending, but we will always get an open ending with not much hope to see what will actually happen in the end... The few seconds of Claire was just not enough after he declared that he was going to save her, plus, who was that pilot in the blue plane? Here again, we get an ending that doesn't actually end the story... |

| Did all 5 volumes get covered in just 13 episodes?? |

| What is up with these plane related series that they always end up as train-wrecks and completely illogical from a story standpoint. First there was Allison to Lillia ,which writing wise was just terrible as it went on.And now there's this. Is there some kind of unwritten rule that you have to eventually screw them up no matter what? |
| Didn't like the ending not giving us closure for Kal and Claire, but I enjoyed the series overall. Yeah, it sucks Ari lost because she was a great character, but she still did love her brother a lot. People keep saying that wanted Ari to end up with Igna, but neither showed any liking towards each other and Ari loved Kal so much. If at the end, she ended up with Igna, I think that would have been worse. I'd rather a character not end up with someone than be given a shallow "happy" ending. |
| hmmh... overall? i think it was nice to watch, the ending was kinda open ... so that really sucks, since you be left wondering what happend for some characters etc, since i did enjoy it i gave it 7/10, i liked the art, story or char. development wasnt thaaaaat good i guess, and the ending almost made me lower it 1 point in my rating... huuuuh... i dunno, maybe it does not deserve a 7/10 i tried to get some more information from the LN readers, but i didnt found that much, it seems the LN aswell as the "spin-off" movie, are open ended aswell soo... maybe its the writers fault? well... 7/10 it is.. maybe it'll change after rewatching it sometime in the future. :) |
  |
| No Claire at the end. What the hell. |
 |
| So who the hell is Chiharu's identity? And everyone forgets about Wolfgang?? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Hmm does anyone remember the start of the first episode? Did they just never even follow up on that scene ever again? Lol |
 |
| Hhhmmmm... Bad end xD. |
| Well, a good show that went pretty bad with some unecessary cliches and generic situations (but what anime doesn't have it, right?), but in general was nice. The ending was one of the worst i've ever seen. So fucking disapointed with that. A generous 5/10. |
| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
| I love how his name is kal-el like, how did i not catch that when i first watched this |
| I shall destroy and hate mankind |
| how the fuck did this get a 7? at first it was good 7, but not quite a 8. then all down hill from when he learned who nina was. also who was in that fox plane? I had to push myself to even watch the last like 3 episodes. THat pissed me off so much when his flashback of his mom telling him to "forgive and not hate" came up. No one would forgive someone like that AND fall in love... I was hoping for him or claire to die at the end honestly hated both. I only really liked the sister and she got cucked at the end. what a piece of shit anime. it was good at the beginning to which is such a shame... |
 |
| The anime had its moments like when they were in battle, but the anime also suffered with the slice of life silliness of the beginning. I do like the sound effects of the planes and when they are flying and in battle. Romance was sort of cheesy. I also did NOT like how Ari actually liked Kal and not Ignacio. As for comparison with the movie, this anime did not have the epicness moments that the movie had, but this anime was OK |

| This was a fantastic show. Almost want to give it a 10 but that's only because of the enjoyment from it. Realistically, the good parts make it a 7/10 or a 8/10, but I give it personally a 9/10. I loved all the characters introduced, I like how there was just enough world building but not too much, I love how the characters developed, I thought the art style was okay at first but it flowed very nicely and was pleasant to look at. I love how it has slight references to another story that's set in the same world. The choices, actions, effects, and consequences of things depicted in the story all for the most part make sense and are plausible. But there are a few moments that aren't plausible or happen because the story says it does, which is alright but would benefit if it ideally received a bit more explanation. Like the heroine's magic powers, but I'm also glad that it didn't become a super magic show. The people inside the world feel/seem like they belong inside it. There is a bit of religious, nationalist, historical, fantastical elements to the show but they are minor and ingrained into that world. Only time when it felt unrelated was the introduction of Japanese food but that's like "eh whatever, it's fun, it's tasty, doesn't add or detract, why not... let's add ramen!" Maybe there's an actual reason in the books, but either way the story as a whole was colorful, cheerful, exciting, but it remained serious and true to itself. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| Uh hang on, so what was the point of sacrificing Isla? What was the point of that whole trip? If they had never run into Levamme, everyone on Isla would've died. No one would've been able to come back. Am I missing something? LOL And then they revealed Kal's real identity, he confessed his love, and everyone is just cool with it? Him confessing his love just fixes everything? What even is this... Also just a slight nitpick here, I know it means nothing and no one cares, but I like how when the picture is taken for their graduation, no one else is there other than the characters we know LOL like all the other students are just gone I guess, or they were killed for defying orders. Although by that logic, all the female characters who were left behind would be dead too... Oh and the RA (no idea what her name was), is a secret agent... Where did this come from? It's the last episode LMAO is this supposed to mean anything? If you take it out, it means NOTHING. It adds nothing. Honestly after that secret agent bit I just skipped through the rest. Like none of it seemed interesting at all. I saw how Kal became a knight or something, Chiharu went to visit Mitty's family which I guess was sweet, the rest I really did not care for though. But that last fight... Why are they fighting? You realize, they have Claire as a hostage... Right? I'm pretty sure Claire is going to be a corpse by the time they reach her, or she'll be at gunpoint. Take your pick. It's Claire and her like 20 guards, against all of the Sky Clan. And by the looks of it they're pretty advanced too. I genuinely don't know how to feel about this show lol it's like, it had potential. It had potential to be a really cool story if they had just cut out the terrible romance elements and instead focused on the adventure and the world building. There are so many things that just don't make any sense. Their whole trip was pointless, Kal's reveal as the prince makes zero sense(no one's angry that they lost Nina Viento or how the prince of the old royal family is still alive?), the RA being a secret agent makes no sense, and that whole battle at the end makes no sense. If they had given this show more episodes and had made it longer, more things could've been more fleshed out and developed but it just falls flat. This is such a disappointing ending, but I guess it goes well with the rest of the show |
