| 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. |
noteDhero said: 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. 7/10 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... |

| Although I like the fights in the last few episodes, I still find this anime disappointing.. I had high hope for it and Octavia, but in the end, I was just like, "wut?".. But I like that Merkadis, it was awesome.. |
| 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 >.> |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The final battle wasn't that good but I liked the second half of the episode a lot. A very nice ending in my opinion. 7/10 |
 |
| man this ending sucked so much when compared with the video game 6/10 overall |
 |
| 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 really liked the serie at the beginning but the last 3 episode disappointed me =( had wished that it would end somehow different, but all in all 6/10 from me ps. for some reason Arthur annoyed the hell out of me >.> i had never hated an anime chatacter so much like him. |

| 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. |

| Finally finished it after so long... Nice ending.. Riannon pawns AHAHA! |
 |
| aww expected a better ending |
 |
| 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. |

| It was a good ending.. |

 |
| This is the kind of anime that piss you off because you know it could have been made better! That said for a second I thought that Arawn was going to give the "Kamina" (TTGL) speech to Riannon, and that dragon looks way to much to a pokemon! |
| i guess the main reason why this anime didint get a high score is that the events happened to fast or as if the season/production was rushed. :( it would have been better if they inserted more episodes n stuff XD |
      |
| i was so close to dropping this series then it magically saved itself |
| I actually hated how different this was to the PC version of the game, especially the lack of Octavia being another or Arawn's wives and tally going on a journey with the dragons. |

| 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! ^^ |

| 8/10 |

kage-bunshin said: so its finally over, they destroy a giant cannon with a song, arthur becomes king of albion (all hail britannia! btw) and arawn and co. lives happily ever after, the end basically this. |
     |
| Riannon turned out to be rediculously overpowered. My only real complaint is how suddenly the tentacles would stop attacking while people were talking. Talk about a polite boss. |

HawthorneKitty said: I actually hated how different this was to the PC version of the game, especially the lack of Octavia being another or Arawn's wives and tally going on a journey with the dragons. ^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. |
| I still hate Riannon with a passion, so completely and utterly useless the whole show. Arawn was a great character but a completely expected him to die though its nice that he didn't. 5/10 for me. |
 |
| Man I'm glad this series is over with, was so close to dropping it so often. The animation was quite nice and lots of cool looking enemies. But an entire cast of unlikable characters, how many fucking times can Riannon say "Arawn-sama" in a goddamn episode, nothing makes sense from start to finish including the retarded dialogues. I seriously never gave a goddamn about any of the characters. Well I'm just glad I saw some of the nice battles. Not as bad as the trainwreck Guin Saga but hardly enjoyable, 5/10 for me too. |
| Arawn has meany wife's but where is Arthur's wife? hes MC he needs to have Wife to!!! |

WolfWood37 said: I still hate Riannon with a passion, so completely and utterly useless the whole show. This. She was so wishy-washy that she just annoyed me. As a general rule I don't dislike harems or reverse-harems but I was glad when they stopped pushing it in this show as it was just plain irritating. All in all not too bad but I admit liking historical and mythological slants. It was a bit predictable since I knew them going in and the pacing did feel a bit off. I was generous and gave it a 7 but was probably a really only a little more than a 6. Arawn calls Rhiannon his "wife" but is that a wife in name only? He treats her more like a kid or (I hate to say it) a cute pet. He seems more asexual to me and not really romantically interested in any of other the characters. |
 |
| 5/10 Meh, nothing special here, it got decent animation though. Utawarerumono was slightly better. Going to try both of their VNs and see if they are better than their anime counterparts. |
| I'd strongly recommend playing the original eroge pc game where they actually have romance and develop the relationship between Arawn and his wives. That was the biggest problem that I could see with this adaptation since one of the major points of the source material was the harem and the romantic connections between Arawn and it's members, nerfing the harem just turned this into another fantasy action show. Personally I would much rather have seen the interactions between each of women and Arawn that helped develop their characters and deepen their love for him. (The actual h scenes were just a bonus.) The changes they made to the final battle in this episode (it was probably about 75% anime original stuff) weren't bad, but the epilogue fell flat--largely because we had to shoehorn Arthur in, to justify him as main character. (Oh, and that tea that Limwris was serving before they set off to the final battle that she said she'd tell Rhiannon about when she returned? It actually contained herbs to help conception so that each of harem members would be more likely to have children with Arawn. For some reason they never picked that up again after that scene or offered an explanation.) |

| It was a nice jrpg style adventure anime. I enjoyed the ride. Too bad the harem aspect wasn't given much focus. What's more Octavia, wasn't one of Arawn's wives. What are the staff thinking? |
| Hmpf.. and it's over. The deus ex machina was strong with this one. The game wasn't anything close to brilliant either and it had many boring passages but at leas the gameplay and character interactions were kinda nice. I gave the game 6. This anime was even worse, many wasted opportunities and cheesy storytelling, the Arthur being the worst character who dragged everything down. Can't really say I hated it but it was a chore a times. 5/10 In the end, the series was nothing special. Average fantasy anime with nice animation and few good scenes, mainly in the middle of it, that's all. Don't really recommend watching this if you have better series on you list. |
| So... does Arthur ever get with anyone? |
| Still the best Aquaplus/Leaf anime until now. Surely far from perfect, but at least it wasn't a total mess like the Utawarerumono adaptations. I do agree with most people that the harem aspect felt sorely lacking. Without it, Arthur lacked depth and was reduced to nothing more than a run-of-the-mill fantasy hero. Here's hoping the second game would receive a better adaptation. |
 |
| I saw this a decade ago, skipped around by the second half on rewatch, characters are irritating and make dumb decisions and plot is dull. This is based on a game right? Can tell. The first half in the end is meaningless with the entrance of White Spirits and the fight with them did nothing for me. I'm confused how I gave this show a 7/10 first time around. I'll give it a 4 this time, its not good at all but not a horrific watch. |

ShiroiRyu said: 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. ^^ archer/morgan has octevia they are lesbo couple so she it out of the picture |
| A nice chill ending to a relaxing fantasy. The best thing I enjoyed about this anime was the friendship of Octavia and Morgan, I just loved watching them interact Also, I'd advise everyone against watching it dubbed.. I couldn't get used to the accents even after 26 episodes |
