| uh what I demand so many explanations of how everyone suddenly was alive |
  |
| Well the finale. Barely descent imo, nothing special. An overall 5/10 from me. Damn everyone was alive?... Get serious..... I think what this series missed was Urobuchi, he would have potential to make this better. |
| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |
| What did the show tried to accomplish? What a lame ending. The EDs were great though, especially this last one. |
 |
| At some point I got confused at Nio VS Tokaku. They should have used Nio's VA once the ruse was discovered... KIRIGAYA AND CHITARU ARE ALIVE! YES!!!!!! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| This episode blew my mind ... I think that all the assasins risked their lifes for the sake of Haru clan that's why they are all alive now . it's rewatch time , i must comprehend the whole series to make the AnR AMV . |

| Really????? What a let down, this ending Good episode until the last part... |
| sorry but that ending brought the show down from a 9 to a 6 for me. |
Shakkin-shitsuji said: AliasAngel said: i had no subs so hardly understood anything,what happened when Haru got stabbed? really confusing episode guess 8/10 but i like happy endings. Well, if you don't have subs it's sure to be confusing... When she got stabbed the knife touched the bones and didn't pierced the heart. A BS theory... Apart from the first episode it was one of the worst anime this spring. Correction - one of her ribs was made out of titanium due to a previous injury. So because of the fact that she's been injured over and over again (scars anyone?) that much is plausible. But how on earth did EVERYONE survive? I could see Nio surviving due to her lineage. Those tattoos obviously account for more. So it's plausible her abilities extend further then explained which is why she survived. But "the princess", Chitaru, and, Hitsugi should have died. Or AT THE VERY LEAST Chitaru and Hitsugi. So what the hell happened? They poisoned each other. Hell I'm confused about most of this episode. I got the ending I wanted, but due to the characters being "resurrected" it really cheapened it for me. Did the chairwoman somehow hit a damn reset button due to Tokaku wishing for Haru to live a peaceful life? So what about this special episode? I didn't hear anything about that. Just the "Preview" with Tokaku presumably getting the correct answer on the riddle. Or was that the preview for the "special episode?" EDIT: Sorry only one of them was poisoned. The show went by so fast I can't remember which one it was. But one got stabbed while the other was poisoned. Oh that's right, Hitsugi was stabbed presumably in the heart. Chitaru poisoned herself. So how on EARTH did they BOTH survive? They went totally left field with this "happy end." Not sure on my rating. This episode? 2/5 because of the huge ass plot hole EVEN THOUGH I wanted the "Yuri end." Overall series? 7/10 I guess. Was an 8 or 9. But that ending just screwed it all up. The special episode better do something to fix this. |

| plz no season 2 of this shit |
| ok either i missed some very important story bits or what the hell happend at the end. and it looks like i was right. only way to prove whether tokaku was hypnotized or not by a queen bee power was to see if she could kill haru like i get giving those that survived an ending but some were clearly dead. i really do not mind the happy ending but atleast give explanations. -sumireko survived the fall because of her half cyborg body? -shiena who got poisoned by hitsugi only got poisoned by a weak poison? -chitaru survived hitsugi's poison because hitsugi had an antidote and got lucky that she did not die to the knife herself so she was able to save chitaru? -isuke only got knocked out instead of getting killed by tokaku because tokaku was never controlled by the queen bee power and made to kill to protect haru, therefore that whole shrine thingy preventing tokaku from killing still applys? if they wanted to go for that everyone lives ending they should have never clearly shown some of the characters dying. ---- in the end decent show that suffers from being a bit too formulaic for the most part of the series aswell as the weird ending shows based on on going mangas just never really work out if they go for an anime only ending liked pretty much all characters and every single one would make for a great main character in their own series loved the character designs and the different endings would not mind a remake once the manga is done |
| Bad finale. Bad show. Final score: bad/bad |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Decent episode, Great show. Personally I didn't have a problem with the ending. Particularly the fact that everyone survived. One of the underlying themes in this show has been the hardships/problems that each of the girls faced before their enrollment in the black class, and during their enrollment, and it's nice to see some of them overcome their problems. The only characters in the ending that I kinda raised an eyebrow at were Hitsugi and Chitaru. However, when you think about it, they "died" on stage during a play. It seems the play was really just that. A play. Again, decent episode, and great show overall imo. |

| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |
kingfelix92 said: why in the heck did tokaku try kill haru anyone know? it cant jst be because she belives wat some other person tells her over believing in the person she loves makes no sense after woulds u wld be like oh i wasnt controlled then oh my best and only friend is dead now what lol seriously wtf show Tokaku tried to kill Haru to prove that she could because that somehow proves that Haru wasn't manipulating her (wut r logics?). Basically I think the point was that if Haru had the primer, then Tokaku would not have been able to stab her. Don't worry; it doesn't make sense. Dashingfella said: So what I got from reddit was that Tokaku was really trying to kill Haru, and at the beginning it was Nio that saved her. What a twist. I kinda figured, but it makes sense now. Yeah, I'm 99% that's what happened. |
| Titanium ribs and nobody died. I regret watching this. 4/10. |
 |
| So, in the end....it looks like....every single one of the assassin's that were in the Black Class......are now living peaceful-like lives? o-o Huh? I would've thought at least 3 of them died.....oh well... Haru was killed by Tokaku-- NOT! I really thought she did, but nope. :P Something about having a titanium like rib cage. o-o Sounds painful. :P It was an alright anime....overall.... :/ I just wished there was a lot more fighting scenes between each assassin, but, we didn't get a lot except around the last few episodes. :/ In conclusion, good anime. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Would've been better if the dead stayed dead. The happy ending ruined it for me specially for characters like kirigaya and chitaru. Haru being alive felt like the whole thing about Tokaku killing her was a joke. How can we actually say that Haru didn't influence Tokaku to target that specific area to blatantly miss the heart. Haru still wanted to survive until the at that point. Truly disappointing. |
Sourire said: U kidding Danganrondpa was epic!yeah this was as bad as Danganronpa, maybe even worse.. |
| Wow, the chairman is a really nice person, huh. Treating all those who "died." So like, that was pointless. |
 |
| That ending was just a little too happy, and very rushed. I thought those two girls had died in the Romeo and Juliet play? Guess not. Overall this show had some good moments and interesting characters, but didn't have enough time to form a fully fleshed plot. Overall: 6/10 |
 |
| dat ending.... what happened???? Is this what Tokaku wished for? |
  |
| Apparently, there is supposed to be a episode 13... Anyways, wow.. I honestly don't know how I feel. I'm not sure if I like the ending or not... huh. |

| It says on AnR's manga page that it's still on-going so if that's to be believed then what we saw was just an anime original ending. There might still be chance to save AnR lol If this was really how it's supposed to end then I must say "what was that?!" I thought it was going to be an emotional battle but it turns out Tokaku-sword was actually Nio because of her ability as a shaman? Huh? Then in the end, Real-Tokaku stabs Haru and believes she died. Nope, sorry try again. Haru has....wait for it....TITANIUM RIBS! Huh? So Haru lived and we got to see everyone in the Black Class were all safe and happy. ... I like happy endings but this...this was just...my head hurts. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The ending was just downright stupid. The first half was fine with Tokaku vs. NioTokaku, and Tokaku 'killing' Haru, but then the second half had to happen. Honestly the titanium ribs thing was just stupid. Hell why not just let Haru die cuz of titanium poisoning in her body since she never even noticed them since forever. And all the other assassins lived too...seriously. I'm pretty sure the Romeo-Juliet couple, Hanabusa, and Nio should have died. All that tension would for nothing. Overall the anime was about 7.5 (rounded to 8) and this ep was 6/10. |
 |
| This ending is bs. It ruins the entire series. 8/10 btw. Isuke sama is adorable. |
nunesrl said: Atikal said: dat ending.... what happened???? Is this what Tokaku wished for? it probably is, or maybe not...it was strange I think Tokaku wished that everyone be FORGIVEN and the org. did it, except for Takechi who only got several years in jail, I guess not even the org. could fully forgive her :( |

KumoKyu said: A 1 episode special is supposed to air on Dec 17, 2014... Hope it cleans up the ending. Watch it be an hot springs/fanserivce episode. xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Aww that was a nice bittersweet ending. I have lots of mixed feeling about this anime but it was fun to watch. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I see the ending and don't get it .__. |
 Not that I'm surprised, but bullshit writing all the way to the end. Never have I gotten less payoff from a happy ending, this isn't the kind of show you want or expect nobody to die, especially when a lot of them were given 'death scenes' for emotional value. Suzu was the only thing that saved this for me. |
 |
| ALL i have to say is fuck this show with this BS ending! i was sticking with it this whole time hoping for some kind of payoff but instead we got this "Ha you thought people were actually gonna die? nope!" 6/10 just because the EDs were the best damn part about this |
 |
AlexTheRiot said: I was like: WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED? They were never dead? Holy shit, I thought they were all dead... So... most of them aren't assassins anymore, they're just going to live their lives normally? I mean like... they trained all their lives to kill and then they just decide to live normal lives, OK ._. |
| An assassin show where no one dies, huh Well now I can only hope there will be more delicious Isuke-sama in the special. |
 |
| Idk how they are all alive, but whatever it was a happy ending so I'm happy. :) |

| Overall a mediocre yet enjoyable to watch show, but I'm sorry that ending was fucking bullshit. Fucking. Bull. Shit. I could deal with the whole Haru being miraculously alive and graduating since they were obviously going for a happy ending, but some of that was just...I cant even put it into words. Nio lived somehow...I GUESS that's ok. Hanabusa lived, I expected that. But then Hitsugi and Chitaru lived!?! I'm sorry what the fuck is with that? They were dead dead in their episode. Like kill confirmed. Then Banba all of a sudden gets rid of her split personality and becomes a normal person? Why? How is she suddenly sane enough to handle the real world? Apparently there is going to be a special episode at some point? Don't know what the hell it could be about. The anime was actually significantly better than the manga, so it's not like the anime missed something and needs to back track through an OVA. It's going to have to be an episode about post-class black. Basically we get to see everybody living their boring daily lives, and have no fight scenes, and have maybe minimum yuri. Yay. |
| These must be the most incompetent assassins I've ever seen. Mostly looking forward to the special for more Shiena screentime. Liking the most irrelevant girl is suffering. |
damocles943 said: But wait, all of their incompetence was because of the primer, right? lol it's like a cure all for bad writing.These must be the most incompetent assassins I've ever seen. |

| I think some of you are misunderstanding the ending of this anime. Tokaku was granted any wish she wanted because she survived the black class, so she turned back time to save the others. I know it's not the ending everyone wanted, but it does make sense to why they would chose this ending. |
| this show was not about some1 getting assassinated. it was about some1 trying to survive. all the assassins had only one target, that target's only protector didn't have the ability to kill until the later half. it would make sense that the "queen" would get new body parts, she has been hunted for her whole life. only thing that's weird is how Romeo and Juliet are still alive. especially Romeo since she drank Poison. |
