THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The last episode of the "Tears to Tiara" anime is finally here.
Well, I honestly prefer the game ending to this one, but I can't complain too much because the animation in this was a heck of a lot better, despite the lack of feeling.

Since this IS the last episode, I guess discussing the PC & PS Game upto the end is FINE

Bah...
At the end, the only two womens who "love" Arawn is the archer and Riannon. ^^
In the PC game, all the womens love Arawn. :s
For the white spirits, in PC game too, we don't have information about that...
I think in the future PS3 game, we have information about that. ^^

Earth was already cut out of Heaven's influence during during the war of Pwyll & Arawn VS the white spirits.
It would have worked fine, but Lector, the white spirit sent on Earth to wipe out the Faeries survived the war and after the barrier erected by Arawn & Pwyll was unable to return to Heaven.

Basically the other 11 spirits are still in Heaven but are unable to affect Earth anymore, only Lector was capable because he was "trapped" there during the legendary war.

Hope it will have a RPG game for this in pc or psp hehe

Overall, the battle scene was amazing giving it a finale series yet something is missing

About the other white spirits, I guess there will be season 2 for this a new age perhaps dunno really but as long as the white spirits live (their main goal) but if that happens the story will just repeat

Ending scene:
Love the Taliesin x Epona moment

Another journey-type anime ended. I call it a journey because the first half of the series was borderline unwatchable (with Llyr trying to milk the cow and such), with the Octavia arc it got OK, the siege and afterwards was really good, and the ending was average. 6/10 with a little push to the average score.

It could have used at least one decent female character though. Even Octavia turned out to be kind of a letdown

Well it has ended...alright ending.

I had high hopes for this anime in the begging. But it had quite a lot of up's & down's. I would like to give it an 8...but I think I'll have to give it a 7.

I can also only stand all the girls saying "Arawn!" so many times. And everyone saying "everyone".

And I don't know...something else felt off about some of the characters.

Not the ending I wanted/anticipated. I really think Arawn needed to die to fully develop into a king, but oh well. Also, I felt like this episode wasn't dynamic enough to actually feel like a big finale.

As for the whole show, It's been quite solid and enjoyable. I only felt negatively about a few episodes, and since the harem aspect of the show fell by the wayside, I'm left with positive feelings overall.

I loved the ending! I'm so glad all the important characters and even Talliessin were still alive. I would have hated it if Arawn died again. I had to fight to hold back my tears while Arthur was getting crowned. I would love a sequel OVA or movie (something showing them going about their daily lives and maybe Arawn/Riannon's Wedding), but I doubt that'll happen.

I seriously need to speed up my Japanese learning and play the game.

Well, it's one of the better shows of that kind, but the last 3 episodes were pretty generic, lame and very corny, so I can only give a still good 7/10.

Overall it was a fun ride with several nicely animated battles and a somehow original harem with a cool main guy and many other nice characters (though I am not a big fan of Arthur). The story of the White spirits was interesting, too, though for they plot they just copied from ancient Greek stories like Prometheus breaking a taboo and giving fire to the humans (afterwards getting punished) and King Arthur drawing the sword out of the stone and becoming king and several others.

Well his name is Arthur and the gael tribe, so obvious playing on dark ages/medievil themes.

Some religious undertones about free will and choice.

Taliesin being "devoured" by his pet dragon.

Overall decent action and suprising to see Lector half submerged in that giant dragon head with like bones sticked out only for Arthur to finally get his revenge and happy build a new kingdom ending.

I was surprised Words of Power though didn't just destroy the entire beast but I'm glad Arthur got some action.

For me, i give 7/10

the starting story is good, but at the end part - i din found any excitement.
The Merkardis is like a stupid statue, shooting beams around nia >.<
not many action are involved in the last fight.

the graphic is good, especially when Rianno sang the Words of Power ^^

the best part in this episode is that i got to see octavia panic XD

The main problem with the ending is that "Secret spell to stop the ultimate evil, which one of them just happens to possess & awakens it at just the right momment to save the day" cliche. I liked the Game ending where everyone puts all there strength into beating Merkadis.
THAT is the point of the story, as Myrradin said: An ideal world is one where the residents work together to fight off foes & threats & the strong protect They couldn't interfere with the world as they could before, they can no longer make Absolute orders to the Denizens of the world (As they are only 11 in number).
There gains were: The world was corrupted with Gravitas, the only exception being Avalon. The Dragons, giants & Elves were nearly wiped out. 1 of the 2 heroes, Arawn had fallen in battle & the other, Pywll's lifespan had reduced drasically due to the exposyre to Gravitas. All these factors together left the humans unprepared for another attack.

In this war the last problem was dealt with as now Arawn & his friends would make sure this doesn't happen again. Also the Angels will be careful before going agains the ones who could kill one of their kind.

Ya, I was very thankful that they stopped trying to push the harem at us in every episode. It's definitely became enjoyable once they stopped that. I was still pretty disappointed that not one of the women liked Arthur though. I was hoping Octavia liked him but that was tossed out right after her ark :(.

During this episode i had only one dilemma.Who will be the queen and at the same time,Arthur's wife.
(i didn't play the game but i knew it would end up like it did).
Well,i'm a little sad because there's no queen...

I gave it a 6/10.

To tell you the truth, the whole story was a bit confusing. The plot was good, but in the end, with all the confusion, and lack to continuity I felt the most i could give it is a 6, even though the story could have been worth a 7 or 8.

At least, it's a happy ending.=D

Merkadis is cute, ain't.... "he"?, "it"? Can't possibly be a "she" anyway xD

Anyway, except for the bunch of cheesy lines every here and there, the so called "fight" between the "thing" and Arawn+Arthur, which was kinda short, and then the latter part, was pretty good.

Still, I don't like Riannon's voice, and neither Primula's voice xD..
Hey, it's not fun if Riannon's that overpowered >.>

So, I think Pwyll is cooler than Arthur, anyone with me? : D
But well, I guess Arthur isn't such a wuss anymore, he actually became a really cool guy in the end : D
Although he didn't get more than a mantle when being crowned king? (And the crown of course) He could've at least gotten some kind of new clothing, not the annoying clothes he'd worn up until now, they do not fit a king.

Anyways, now at last I've finished this one, and I gotta say, at first it seemed to be really good, then it dropped a bit in the middle, and rose above again in the end (not considering stuff like ressurected foes from the beginning =.='), so all in all, I'll give it an 8. The ending was pretty good too, since it doesn't crave a second season, which so many series to nowadays >.>

No.. Just no. The climactic battle did not feel climactic. Then the supposedly powerful white spirit ended being a huge disappointment. It looks like his only powers are weak psychic blasts and teleportation which just does not make for an exciting battle. Merkadis looked like a tentacle monster straight from some H anime with absolutely no mobility. I can't figure out how that thing can detroy the world since it can't hit anything on the other side of the globe. Overall a huge let down. To think I persevered through all that harem nonsense only to have this ending. At least Octavia did not become part of the harem like in the game so good for her.

I don't really know what to say about the ending, it was quite normal and expected. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The animation was good over the whole show, direction was mainly above average and 3 or 4 episodes were even great. The script was a bit simple in the first part, but then expanded into something mildly enjoyable from epsiode 14 onward. It was a quite good anime overall even if the previous adaptation by Oriental Light & Magic of an Aquaplus VN , Utawarerumono, was far better on every level. I don't know about the VN, but the anime clearly could have been better. 7/10

I mean, wow, it was awesome how they cut that tentacle of Merkadis that was almost 5 to 6 times the diameter of their sword in one slash. Clean cut!
O_o

Gosh, this episode was so lame. This series turned out to be pretty lame. I lost interest 5 minutes into this episode. And the aftermath of the war was... bah! It was just too happy-happy and happy-go-lucky for me. It didn't turn out to be as mature as it could have been.

Graphics was good, so that's the only part where it gets a +1 from me. But still, 5/10.
They could have done so much. They didn't. The outcomes weren't realistic enough.

Overall I liked the series. It wasn't the top of the top and it didn't captivate me as much as other series but it was entertaining none the less. It did get better near the ending.

I did like the characters thou, especially Morgan and Olivia.

It gets a 7/10 from me.

Well, a good show.. I was entertained a bit especially at the middle.. The problem would be the slow start and character development.. I'll give it an 8 coz I really like the animation!

The story is good.. I'm a sucker for Arthurian/greek/norse/fantasy stories so yeah sue me! hahaha! I don't like the pacing of the story though it's a little boring.. It also has a lot of loopholes that need to explain too... O.o I like Arawn and Octavia alot for the characters but the others are just so-so.. =P But the animation was smooth and topnotch so I gave that kind of score.. hehe.. I'm easy to please! ^^

^Pretty much this. I didn't get any dere Octavia unlike in the PC, she is kuudere through and through. In this anime, she get to be BA for a few episode then reduced to little MorganxOctavia lesbian pair (less screentime too). Touka from Utaware is miles better than her.

Also the whole cursed prophecy for Taliesin, precisely the last part about him getting devoured by beast which is actually him feeds (or was it licked by?) his pet dragon is unexpected and somewhat acceptable lawl.


All in all, I give 6/10 for this series which I considered 5/10 before I changed my mind.

Maybe I'll try find some time to play the PC version again, haven't finished yet but didn't find any reason to continue it. The game is just there in the corner of my HD wasting space.
