The last episodes were ok but the very last was rushed and that final battle with Minami very bad in my opinion.
Overall score: 6/10

Ever since the beginning of this show the first thing that irritated me was how the characters faces were drawn..yes it's something minor but I couldn't to get over it. So I continued watching then the story got weak and I felt things would eventually get better somehow. then the show finally made it to the ending & I have no idea why I kept watching. I'd be surprised if this show gets a second season

4/10 for me

Wow that ended badly, IMO. Felt rushed as hell, some unknown people coming out of nowhere. Wasn't captivated at all in last "epic" battle (and by every other fight as well). Animation was weak, and felt the OST in the last fight wasn't fitting at all. I did however enjoyed this a bit, especially in the first few episodes, but it just went downhill.

What just happened? .....I don't even care to give a proper critic for the series right now, god the show was horrendous. Only reason I didn't drop this was cos of Minami and I was hoping Yomi would show up and kill them all >_>!
I can't even begin to understand people who are rating this a 7 or 8/10..

3/10, only cos it started out fairly decent, some of the parodies and Ga-Rei feels.

Space Dandy's last episode was amazing and Zankyou no terror was just perfect for me. I know a lot of people didn't like it but imo it was the right and best way they could end it.

Can someone please explain to me what exactly happened at the end? I mean, like was that the start of a new arc in the manga or something? Why the hell did two deities suddenly pop down from nowhere and pop the Professor's heart? Why did the Professor have to hide the Ark from them? Why dafuq did he not tell Azuma ANYTHING???

Seriously guys, was this how the manga ended as well? It's confusing as hell...

The battles are boring and this episode was the worst. Azuma was useless in the whole story, doing nothing but be kidnapped, while all the other were developed.

Did Rinka said that we cannot fight espers without ESP ? she fights with Minami only 10 minutes ago !

An another example of an anime good at first, but fail at last. I expect another season as the manga continue.

It was fine for one.
I don't know what people expected after wolverine, Steven Segal, Yoda, John Travolta, Leonidas, Ghost Busters appeared. There are horrible shows, rated way above this one.
Yes, im looking at you Sousei no Aquarion.
Although the show itself tries to be serious, with these characters implemented, i just can't take it as one. But that's all there is to it for me.
I enjoyed watching it, and i would be in for another ride.
7/10

Minami vs. Rinka wasn't as awesome as expected. Even with 2 swords, Minami was a flop case. She had plenty of chances to strike a fatal blow.
Also, noticed how Rinka was about to fall from the building twice and was (indirectly) saved by Minami both times. 1st time, with a sword attack from the opposite side (3:57 - 4:03) and 2nd time, with a grenade blow. (4:43 -5:03).
Rinka wins the battle in style. She's definitely better off fighting without ESP.

Those formidable-looking costumed guys got owned way too easily. I guess luck played a major role on the good side? That's the only way to explain how the fights ended even before properly starting.

All of a sudden, that big Bird is on equal footing with the Professor? We never even got to know how! Luck once again, maybe?
Minami got rendered ineffective by Azuma's words. Good way to keep her at bay while get it going with Rinka. XD

What the hell was with Professor sounding like a good guy after some random Esper backstabbing him? Was he possessed this whole time or what? O.o

Weak finale. This had good potentials but couldn't live up to it at the end. 6/10.


Rinka never gave a fatal blow because she didn't want to kill Minami.

The big bird was a telepath as well so of course they can cancel each other's powers.

The professor did mention about them taking the bait, so he was actually expecting those two to come in and fight. For some reason, that the rest was not explained. So he pretty much was acting like the bad guy so Rinka and Kyotaru would train/practice/get stronger to actually fight the two in the end. For the meantime they have all those new espers doing crimes to worry about.

I expect a 2nd season, this last 2 episodes seemed rushed, but the story in all seemed interesting.

I've saw in this series:

Wolverine as Rinka's father.
Leonidas I as Murasaki's father.
Steven Seagal as Cayce.
Ga Rei Zero characters at the first and 11th episodes.
Anti-esper squad disappear after the 11th episode.
I though it was Inari Konkon at the start (lmfao)
Franklin from GTA makes an appearance at 1:03 during the first episode (wtf?).
Ghostbusters at the 3rd episode (5:00~6:00).

Oh man I could say a lot more but....lol...this is just absurdly funny.

Minami could have just teleported Rinka really high and just drop her. Or all sorts of different ways with the method of dropping her.

The story behind that bird was never explained, just a plot device to help them win with also other characters getting stronger with no explanation.

Acting like a bad guy doesn't stop the fact they killed tons of people. That was probably worst part of the series, pretending to be a bad guy to help train Kyotaro by letting your minions kill people left and right? Stupid.

6/10, this anime had potential but bad writing and character development was a huge issue in this. Oh no, they killed my family, instead of getting revenge on the ringleaders, lets just kill tons of innocent people by making a big name for myself and then just pretend I was a good guy the whole time. xD People's standards are so low these days lol.

So another anime lets make quick intro into manga and if so one want more they can read them selves? Its same as ga rei just i liked characters far less. I am a people who tends to ignore plot holes and if need to come up with my own explanations, whats why this show to me looked like good intro into some interesting story with a lot of action and super power fights.
It is interesting to see real enemies with real powers not just imaginary telepathy (just dont know why no one can escape imagination on their one) I just cant imagine how lame super power MCs can win vs real enemies, now i need to read some manga spoiler (still i am not gonna read it all)

So they start the show by showing the current situation, then go back in time before the events occurred to add story and character development and then it rapidly goes back to where it started.

No happy ending as well. Well I give the show props for that, it would have been cheesy if the show ended in some happy ending. At least here they left it open for a possible second season.


I was a bit confused as to what that thing was at the end when it attacked the Professor. It seemed like the Ultimate Boss that came out suddenly, fish stone perhaps.

Once again the narrative fails to capitalize on the potential of which was available, mortifying the plot that apparently was only hinted at in this TV series.
Drawings and animations are really mediocre and the choreography of the fighting leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I'm really sorry.
Soundtrack still valid as catchiness and beauty.
Interesting characters, underused and characterized recently, another mistake.
Overall this TV series had excellent margins to be exploited, as for the series Ga-Rei Zero.
Really a shame not exploiting yet another opportunity to do justice to a very interesting story, so my rating is 6.5 / 10!

P.S. In the end, the best character seems to be the Professor.

I expected so much from this anime. The ending was a little bit rushed and I think there will be a sequel.
I don't like the way Azuma treats Rinka and that bitch Minami. It's like Azuma has feelings for Minami but he's with Rinka because he knows that Rinka believes in him and I think he only sees Rinka as a "Hero".

Finally got around to watching this one, I really liked the manga so rushing this through the whole training during Rinka's stay in the facility was prett awful since it gives no explanation whatsoever how come she can fight in complete darkness and such, as well as Kobushi's extreme power-up. Rinka spent a few monts in that "prison" and during that time underwent extreme blindfold training in order to be able to fight "invisible" enemies (Minami) and Kobushi was training on her own while hiding, in here it felt like only a few days have passed and she suddenly powers up.

Anyways, the adaptation was horrible, but they nailed it with a few parts, such as the backstory of the Professor and probably one my favorite parts just because of the absurdness of it: Pelico, voiced by Chihara fucking Minori... priceless. Didn't love this series but it was okay, kept me entertained.

And so Rinka and her friends win the battle, but the war goes on...

I'm left a bit disappointed with this one. I wanted to enjoy it more than I really did. I thought it started out fine...well after pulling the "early glimpse of the climax" bit during the first episode anyway. I didn't mind the X-Men style setup. I took a liking towards Rinka, her dad, Ayumu, Murasaki, and Kobushi. I even got a kick out of the characters who were clearly designed after other famous characters. It was the pace of the plot itself, and a few key underdeveloped characters that got me. I read plenty of complaints on the pacing of this one. I'm not a manga reader but yeah, this reeked of things happening only to advance the plot with little to no breathing room. I assume all this was handled better in the manga. As were, I also assume, Minami and Kyoutaro. By the time Minami's motivations were revealed, kinda poorly, I gave up on the character. I only liked the few times Rinka wailed on her out of any time she was on screen. The open ending seems to suggest more was meant for her but...I simply don't care. Kyoutaro started out ok, if bland, but became pretty much useless for the final 2/3rds of the story. He felt only still there out of obligation by the end and I stopped caring about him. The Professor character was much the same as Minami, although I didn't mind as much when he was onscreen. I'm not even gonna comment on the Raiders-esque origin of the powers or the "freaks vs. norms" stuff going on in the background, it all felt insignificant, tacked on even. That stuff aside this was alright I guess. The art and animation left much to be desired. So uhhh...yeah, a 6/10 I guess.

When the nest moments of the show are cameos from another show(Ga-Rei:Zero) then you know the shit ain't really good.

So the bad guys ultimate plan was to get on top of that tower and release all the fishes. Well he could have done that from episode one really. There was nothing stopping him from getting on top of that tower in the middle of the night and open his magical fish box. No reason to make all those attacks or lift the parliament as a distraction really so WTF!, this shit makes no sense.

Also, yes lets no kill the penguin because all the fish inside him will be released and we don't want that despite released a tone ourselves and in the end our plan was to release them all over town. Sense this makes none, as the panda(Yoda) master would have said lol.

Was this really made by the guy who made Ga-Rei Zero? Or is this train wreck the studio's fault? I tried liking it but it only felt like a poor man's *insert sci-fi/ hero show here* parody.

No this was not made by the guy who made Ga-Rei:Zero. This was made by the guy who made Ga-Rei. Ga-Rei:Zero was a prequel to Ga-Rei and was not a manga material. Basically it was anime original. Ga-Rei isn't close as good as Ga-Rei:Zero.
That means the mangaka isn't really that great and the great one was the scriptwriter and director of Ga-Rei:Zero.
So this is probably another mediocre manga by the same guy that this time was made even more mediocre by a bad adaptation.

I find it funny how anime like this has no conclusion in the end... it is just some vague justice thingy and hero plays.

What the heck is up with that pandaman? Isn't he supposed to be a kongfu master or some sort? Look at how weak he is... it is to the point of laughable.

Not sure how to feel about this episode...the enemies suddenly become so easy to defeat like they are screaming out loud "The series is about to end soon!! Just f**ing kill me already!!"

What were those asspulls?? Some random strangers just pop out of nowhere and killed the professor?? What the heck did the professor mean by the bait has come? So his plan all this time was to "destroy humanity to lure out the evil" BS? Like, seriously, wtf?

Not sure why there were just 2 random characters at the end taking over the place of the Professor.
Anyhow, the show had a lot of potential, everything was really good but it just didnt quite deliver.

So, none of this is many any sense whatsoever. From the pelican(?) who gained human intellect because of the fish, to the invisible girl who somehow trained in a few month's to unleash astral projection attacks, to the flying guy who also has a whole non-fish related superpower, to MC who is, just a high school girl with martial arts skills going up against supers, to ALL THE TERRORIST ACTIVITIES BEING COMPLETELY POINTLESS SINCE PROF COULD'VE JUST RELEASED THE FISH FROM THE TOWER AT ANY TIME WITHOUT KILLING A SINGLE PERSON BEFOREHAND. And the ending words of this terrorist, "be a hero", WTF??

And of course plus all the idiot balls thrown all over the place.

Now I understand why the MAL rating for the show is so low. I was still entertained most of the time though, so 7/10 from me.

Lol, yeah it has been a while for you hasn't it. Professor was the main villain, the leader of the esper terorrist group who killed a lot of people and took over the parliament(?) building as a distraction from releasing the esper granting fishes from a high tower (something he could've done without any distractions required btw.) He was also the adopted father of the idealistic guy with MC.

His final words, as he was killed by other villains, were to his adopted son/MC's friend to "become a real hero" or something like that. Which is something you'd expect a good guy martyring himself to say, I guess.

sooo yeahhh that sucked in the end.
This whole anime after a few episodes I didnt like that much. Its like Rising of the shield hero, watching the main protagionist get kicked to shit y life circumsatnces is hard to watch but they had good people to balance it out.
In this show they still have good people but I feel it focuses more on all the bad shit happening. and the ending was not nearly as uplifting nooor was it entertaning by having the angonist literally do a 180. he was alll kill the adopted son, and then wiat dont killl him
*sees deadly chars we never saw*
"I accept jesus as lord and savior" aka "you son you must live" *dead*
Thats how that appeared to me.
The penguin was cute and the charcters were ok but I feel after episode one it kinda went down hill form there
