| Ahhh I really enjoyed this anime. 9/10 for sure. I've seen stories about revenge/vengeance before, but an anime focused on the 1920s Prohibition era mafias AND revenge was cool. The open ending doesn't bother me; in my mind, Angelo lived and found a new purpose in life :p (but reading some posts, I am agreeing with the theory that quannguy25 said) |
| Decent ending. Didn't reach my expectation but didn't disappoint either. This series might make me feel empty for a while because open endings always do that to me (cries). Anyway, Nero was my fav character. I found him had more depth and c o o l e r than the protagonist. Overall—it was a very nice series with awesome casts and storyline; unfortunately, it didn't stand out much 7 eyebags/10 |
doihavepotential said: quannguy25 said: spoiler: so this is what i found out. In the end of the episode, he did get shot. if you go back to the scene where he wakes up in the house of galassia, you can see he was wrapped around with a bandage. also, when nero was driving back after shooting him, a car drove pass him, meaning the guy saved him and brought him back to galassia. its 5 am my explaining is bad but i hope you guys understand what im saying rewatching that episode I can't help but agree. good catch like the middle where he dreams of the ocean before waking up, but he's never seen the ocean until he got shot I re-watched it and it's a flashback, it happened after the Theater. Remember Avilio has a shoulder stab wound (it was inflicted by Barbero). |

| I'm fine with the cliffhanger ending. At this point, I feel the full story has been told, and everything after the Vanetti Family's demise is an epilogue. The full tale of revenge had been told, and all that was left was however 91 Days felt appropriate to end. I always thought Angelo was just consumed by vengeance, but it seems he had deep-seated survivor's guilt, just as much as Nero. Additionally, with Nero asking why Angelo didn't just kill him, Angelo asking why Nero didn't kill him seven years ago made for, perhaps, the most impactful scene in the whole show. It really brings all the events of the show into a full circle, where betrayed friendships ruined every single person in this story. All the main members of the Vanetti Family tried to put family first, but their definition of family was more about their legacy, rather than the individuals themselves. As a result, they'd sacrifice their friends left and right, regarding death as a natural event that's just expedited by circumstances. However, no matter how they try to justify their actions, ghosts of the past would still continue to haunt them. If it wasn't Angelo, it would have been someone else to bring an end to the Vanettis. Really though, the best thing about 91 Days was its portrayal of betrayal and revenge as being empty and pointless. For all the blood Vincent stained his hands in, it didn't save his family, it just changed the cause of its demise. For all the blood that Angelo spilt, it didn't revive any of his loved ones, nor did it give him any sense of purpose or satisfaction. Seeing Vincent and Angelo remark on their actions the same way toward Nero solidified that theme. 91 Days reminds me of The Count of Monte Cristo in some ways, where the titular Count, devoid of emotions, coldly seeks revenge for all the wrong he had suffered in the past. However, like the Count, Angelo finds a person, Nero in this case, who helps humanize him. Though, for Angelo, it was too late once he was forced to kill Corteo. At the end, it was, suitably, all for naught. Betrayal and revenge cycled back to back, and would only cease either once all involved parties were dead, or if everyone can somehow just stop fighting over power and pride. With regards to the ending, I have my theories regarding Angelo's fate, but I'm fine to have it be ambiguous. Good stuff. |

| I'm not a fan of ambiguous endings..but if we're talking Chekhov's gun, Angelo most likely lives and ends up in Florida. |

| wasn't the best, and sometimes confusing becuase Angelo fucking imagined himself doing things but then they didn't happen. But one thing is for sure, the feeling this show left on me really is something else, that last feeling that both the supposed protagonist and antogonist felt like they where in the same spot from a moral standpoint, I somehow didn't root for both but did at the same time, and you are left with this empty feeling, becuase the "bad guy" is a person too, he suffered as much as Angelo did, getting stripped of his own family and friends for not shooting the kid that ran away 7 years away. Idk its hard to explain how i feel about it, all i know is that i liked this, even if it got boring halfway thru because i'm not that much into mafia stories, but it was a wild revenge story that ended up in a empty but strangly warm note between Angelo and Nero (even with the shoot at the end) |
| Almost everyone is dead. And they literally stole his car, went on a date or something. Talked things out and that's it. I shouldn't have expected much from a revenge anime. It always ends up the same but this was very enjoyable. Some characters were interesting, most of them were not. Opening was an absolute banger, ED was fine too. OST was brilliant. Animation was alright. Rip Angelo. An alright ending for a revenge anime. 7.5/10 (7/10 on MAL) ''You don't need a reason to love, you just live'' I'd be lying If I said that this anime had no good quotes.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Angelo survived again and he has to find his own meaning in life. Come on , Angelo was shown talking to Strega afterwards.Remember , how Angelo asked why he was saved , chronologically it only makes sense that he survived the shot , even though Nero's bullet actually hit him this time. Nero is most likely dead. Footprints in ending don't 100% imply that both of them are dead , just that their journeys came to an end.It can easily being interpeted as Nero being dead and Angelo being alive , but having no destination in life. Also , maybe I'm overthinking it , but there was only half of a footprint from one side. It probably means that one life ended halfway through , does it imply Nero died too early or that Angelo is alive , but has no reason for living anymore while other full footsteps pair being washed away implies that Nero died while he still wanted to live? Either way I think Nero is 100% dead and Angelo is not. |

| I hate everyone equally |
| By the way , Angelo wanted to leave Vanetti with nothing to make them feel the emptiness Angelo feels himself. Killing Angelo won't make him feel bad or regret anything he did , so Nero most likely made a non-lethal shot or didn't shoot at all and Angelo just tried to kill himself (like drowning in the ocean/ sea , whatever it was?) then he got saved??? Either way I think empty Angelo survived and Nero died. |
| I hate everyone equally |
think this is like inception |
| After all that story? uhhh good. That ending was unexpected. Both can live or died. That funny trip moment before died, it hurt my feeling. That ocean moment remind me about Narcissu. |
| He survived. Nero faltered as he tried to shoot Angelo. There is no blood. The shot showing the sky and Nero's smile at the end confirms this. He thought "It doesn't make sense for me to kill someone for feeling and doing what I'm about to do." Even because he knows he was the one who destroyed Angelo's life first. They just learned that revenge doesn't satisfy anyone, and the best way to deal with situations like that is to start over and that's what they both decided. Nero must have asked Angelo to swim to some island to lose the man who was chasing them (he must be some Galassia's henchman checking if Angelo is going to kill Nero or not). Both went on with their lives, I'm sure :) |

| Really good mafia story that made me watch the whole thing in a day. Gave me Monster vibes. 8/10. |

| God, the ambiguity is KILLING me. That ending will haunt me for the rest of my days, although I think either way - whether Angelo and Nero lived or died - both alternatives would be fitting in their own ways. Someone described their final moments together having "an air of just dry bitterness" and I couldn't think of a more fitting expression. The scene by the campfire really brought the story full circle in the most heartbreaking way. Probably the best moment in the entire show, just raw honesty and unfiltered emotions that both characters desperately needed to express in order to find some sort of common ground. The montage that followed made the ending all the more upsetting, seeing how their friendship could have worked out if it wasn't for their shared history and the tragedies that followed. Great show, great final episode. Been a while since I watched something so gripping and consistently brutal. It delivered so many gut punches that I need to take a break from heavier shows for a while... |
| how am i supposed to live laugh love in these conditions Men, Angelo. |
 |
| What an ending, I thought he'll end up killing Nero but in this anime the protagonist dies and the antagonist lives what lol |
| regular final, predictable, so I didn´t like!!! kekeke |
| The low budget animation made me laugh a lot during this show, but character design is one of the bests I've seen, imo ofc. Thank you all forum-ers who wrote that: I want to believe it. OVA didn't give me that answer, but you gave me hope :3 |

| Review of 2018: The plots are kinda dull but the english voice acting is very good with the more rich diverse wide range better acting than the japanese I think. At least from the tiny bit I've heard. It's also the more realistic fact of having italian accents and using fluent italian words in their speech. Gives off the better mafia feel to it all. Unfortunately I was expecting a more dark and dramatic protagonist as a sociopath but he's very cool and collected with calculated plans to get in on who he wants to kill. The pace in the story is kinda mellow in the sense that the anime is going smoothly with not much feeling of excitement in a way. I'm not sure much stands out, and there's also the fact that most of the time I don't really understand the situation of the story and the whole mafia deal of what the fuck's happening and why. Not sure if it's clear but it's not to me. The art had some stills and scenes with painting style which is a beautiful difference to most linear styles of keeping the style through the whole anime. Some nice 3d and animations overall as well. Very nice art. ... Gotta say the first half was a little dull but it got more interesting and exciting to an extent in the second half. More dramatic moments even though the tone was constantly soft in it's own style. Kinda realistic. Not much of extraordinary added emotion through music or cinematography. The style is pretty sharp in it's own flat way in the sense of it not being a "crazy" anime. The tone is... calm if that makes sense. I liked the trauma of him not sleeping and seeing his dead friend in his mind after killing him and the strongest emotion from him that we finally see when he screams "You should have killed me 7 years ago!". The twists and planning was pretty fucking cool. It was subtle but the action was pretty nice for it's moments. I was kinda hoping to see more of his crazy fighting skills but we never saw them again after the first episodes. Like I said, it wasn't the sociopath protagonist which I was expecting and hoping for but in the end it was a decent watch. Interesting at the least especially after the second half. Few moments were very dramatic in my reaction but other than that most of the story was pretty chill for lack of a better explanation. I wouldn't watch it again tho. Decent experience but nothing great. Nice for a change tho. Rarely see slightly dark very serious tone tv like this. |
| 8/10 because the animation was just not as good as what a story of this kind deserves. Both Angelo and Nero are dead, at least in my version of the ending since this was somewhat an open-end ending :) The crème de la crème of the show for me was after Angelo killed Corteo and said he'll join him soon, that energetic shift in his character really moved me and, it seems like, sped up and intensified the pace itself. Loved it. I don't know if that's only me but as the more of the characters were killed off, the show itself became more and more enjoyable lol. I also liked Fango's character due to him being batshit insane AND my second favorite scene was when he served don Orco lasagna to those mobsters, oh my god that was so grotesque! Since I've just finished the anime, Angelo and Nero's dynamic is something I did not digest fully quite yet. Or maybe I will just simply not do that bc it will make me really sad lol however, that was the powerhouse of the show, Angelo & Nero's relationship. Okay start, wonky middle, fantastic ending and even better build-up! |
| What the hell! Just one big what the hell! What was this at the end? How was it concluded? Did Nero kill Angelo and throw his body in the sea? Did he let him walk free? And who was that in the car that passed Nero? I don't recognize him. I can't even tell if I liked this episode or hated it. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I usually don't like ambiguous endings but for this show it was the perfect way to end. |
