----------------------------------------
Probably one of the most intense episode yet...

Well, I think it's fitting for the climax of this show. We get Masamune and Tachibana in full battle mode. I think the point of the finale was to show how much Tachibana developed herself over the course of the story.

Mm, a rather catchy song used in the second half of the episode.
Eh, I'm not sure what to think of this show overall. I guess it was kinda of fun. Some peoples were like a chore to watch while others were more entertaining. Funny ending :p

Funny episode as always.

"Are you scared to lose?" <---That one seems to slide all the time in anime. And NAKAMA power. DAT DODGE THOUGH. So much talking though too, I wanted more GUNS GUNS GUNS.

This is like OHSHC episode 1 expanded into 12 episodes.

They really did follow the manga. Well, they did skip a part or two at the end. >__> Second season I guess? I'm just glad they didn't do an original anime ending.

Twas a pretty enjoyable series while it lasted, even though I wish that Hotaru told them that she's a girl but that's fine

Hotaru brings Matsuoka back to his feet and all goes well. For a sec I thought that they were going to have her reveal her gender, but nope. This show was pretty consistent with its morals on Hotaru's side (while keeping the whole survival game facade with much exaggeration) but it also felt lackluster at times. Comedy was pleasant, though, and it was a satisfactory ending. 5/10

Ugh we don't even see their reactions to Hotaru's confession.

Really felt that this series would have been better if it was full comedy instead of this action/drama that was hard to swallow at points. Hell, they should have made it like war with crazy objectives and intense TDM's, I mean I know they showed it but it wasn't all that.

Probably a 6/10 for me and that's mostly because of Yukimura.

I can see a lot of people rated it low and the MAL ranking is in the 2000s, but this is a 10/10 for me and I don't care what anyone says.

season 2 pls. Or at least someone regularly translating the manga.

Two Point for the returning of Matsuoka's sense of losing.

God dammit Hotaru. You had 1 job. 1 fucking job. Before I waste my time reading the manga, can anyone confirm if she's fessed up about it yet in future chapters?

Gonna miss Yuki though, and the opening credits.

12 episodes.

No defeating of rival team.

No confession about being a girl.
- we wont even start about how Hotaru's lie has now given Masamune homosexual feelings now.

Why did I see this through when nothing happened?

Not enough. Need actual reactions from the other 2. Doesn't look like the manga has any translations past ch3 either so there goes any chance of me seeing it as I'll slowly stop caring at this point.

Wtf why did they do that. It would've been a better conclusion if she had just confessed she was a girl. But nope gotta keep us hanging...

Overall enjoyable show with nice animation and music. The downside was the extremely exaggerated drama. It was just too much...

This series had its moments, but it ultimately fell flat and wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

I thought it was kind of dumb how Tachibana goes from being a firm believer of justice to a selfish egomaniac in a matter of moments. Her "superior sense of justice" was pretty much tossed out the window. I understand playing survival games means a lot to her, but I feel like that part could have been handled better. And I thought the whole bloodlust thing was rather cheesy. I feel like the concept of bloodlust works better in something like Assassination Classroom because it's used to bring out Nagisa's latent potential as an assassin. Here, Tachibana's bloodlust didn't do anything to improve her skills on the field, it just made her more intimidating. And the drama in this series definitely felt forced.

I was also hoping we would get to see Tachibana confess to them, but nope.....

Like I said, this really wasn't as good as it could have been. I doubt there will be a second season, and I can't pick up the manga since every site I've checked only has like 5 chapters available. Oh well, 4/10.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I wanted Hotaru to tell them T-T whyyyyy. I was pretty happy in terms of the fight but I have so many questions about things (some of which were just introduced this episode) and I really, REALLY want to see how Matsuoka and Yukimura react to her being a girl. Alas, no chapters available in English besides three D: Second season? Please?(!!!)

Maybe because of the reaction to her telling them, and what happens after. I didn't think they would even have that scene at the end. I wish they would have included a certain scene with Masamune thinking about Hotaru and just stop at the moment she says she's a girl though.

It was okay, though I thought it repetitive after have the same lesson done in episode 9.

Also, why did they introduce so much stuff if they were never going to follow through with it? The fact that we never see her tell them annoys me enough already.

But are they ever going to tell us Midori and Mattsun's backstory? And why did they keep showing that guy who left their group being around if they were never going to do anything with him?

It's probably in the manga, but this an adaptation and they should know what not to include if they are never going to get into it.

Aww.. So she never told them she's a girl. =( I was hoping to see that in the last ep. But at least things have been resolved and they're now getting along as a team. lol At Mattsun confused why Hotaru made his heart pound.


Also that smile is a 10/10. Would have been great to see her in a dress. She would look so cute. Season 2 when?

Art and animation was always nice to look at in this anime. The only problem I had was there never being a conclusion with the main antagonist and one of the biggest confession in the anime was never shown.

4/10 for the anime overall.
The one thing of the plot, that she was a girl, remained unfinished through the entirety of the anime.
So many unfinished plot holes...
Unless they release OVAs or Specials to culminate this anime, it will remain as a pathetic excuse for a series.
There hasn't been a series that's frustrated me so much in a while.

This ending did a great job at summarizing everything that was wrong with the entire series. Man what a mess

One of the most annoying anime I've ever seen from start to finish. Horrendous writing, cringeworty characters and complete cluelessness as far as survival games airsoft goes

Don't get me wrong, it was a good episode but...damn its so frustrating she didn't tell them. Got me salty tbh. And I doubt I'd read a manga for an airsoft series even if there was one available.

Oh well. Hoping for a season 2.

My thoughts about this final episode:

That ending was so fucking terrible! We didn't see Hotaru telling her teammates that she's a girl!
Well anyway It's good that the three of them had reconciled. And they will be fighting/playing at TGC together again.
So because of this anime's ridiculous plot and story. I'll rate this anime 6 (or 7?) out 10 score overall.

Was hoping she would tell them this episode, kind of disappointed since they spent half the series stressing that she is a girl. 6/10 from me. I picked it up because of the shounen tag, but it felt totally like a chick show. If they focused more on the actual matches than the guy skinship s and blushing I might have gotten more into it.

Well a second season for sure now huh, I guess Matsuoka's parents will get some screentime too.
After 12 episodes he still hasn't revealed the fact that he's female. Yeah he.
Sweet romance though this episode, better than the previous ones.
Final rating for this anime will be a 6.

BAD EPISODE.

Bad way to end the first half if there's even going to be a second season.

She never told them she was girl. Mattsun was inundated in his personal drama. I wanted to know more about Hotaru and her past and everything else about her but this series focused on that shit host's trauma and his stupidity.

The series started out so good but ended terribly. Ugh.

Nice ending to the show, liked how Hotaru did the same thing Kanae did and managed to wake Mattsun up. Just a shame they never got to know she is infact a girl, I would have loved to see their expressions.

7/10 hoping for a second season (or I'll just have to pick up the manga I suppose..)
