hey, don't scare me like that, I really thought that Sayoko died. Glad to see that it wasn't a totally bad end, and it was even better when Mamiko Noto really was eternal. <3

The, what I call girlcows's revelation was quite not interesting too.

Random cow girls living a free life, last episode was decent but it seems when they took this last arc up everything went downhill from story development...

Also what's up with the bowling oO? Weird concept to have in this kind of anime, the boss of all the monsters just doing some bowling...

Oh well that sure was some weird concept that they took in on the end.

The whole anime was decent but not something I would really recommend anyone as only a couple arcs are really decent.

Either way I had a decent watch 4/10

i got to say i enjoyed it, well until episode 20 when things just got weird... train track analogies, signal crossings... felt a little 2001 HAL up in space.

They could have done better, a 2nd season would have been nice then they could have wound things up. Instead of having these characters appear, and then disappear on ship that is invisible as it exists in 2 points in time.

Just why... never saw that coming, it felt rushed just to get to the 2 guys and their girls meeting.

really thought sayoko was dead (those cruel writers), and i was really hoping it wasn't going to end with "it was all in the labyrinth within the labyrinth".

Nice touch at the end where he's all grown up, shooting pan and having the girl ride beside him into the sunset... funny how the melody of oblivion lost her ability to talk at the end. very screwed up relationship.

such a good concept went a little wonky.. but it's a basic happyish ending, and we didn't have to wait 3 seasons and 7 years for a kiss...

The symbolism in this anime is pretty strong.

Yo this series was amazing in a a very weird way. It had plenty of symbolism, some well done romance with an actual kiss scene and almost implied sex. The MC was likable enough with the other characters being okay. Man, scared me for a second at the end. That would of ruined the series for me if Sayoko died.

Sayoko did die. Bocca is generating an image of her.

Is left a bit ambiguous but she did die. that is the point. Just as in previous iteration the love of his life died protecting him becoming the new melody of oblivion but he did not become the new monster king and continued hunting the monsters. Probably except the minotaurus all will go extinct soon.

What a weird show. Maybe it wasn't always as clever as it thought it was being, but it certainly wasn't nonsense. The space episodes felt like a waste of time, but I liked the series as a whole. The scene where 'Solo' is killed is definitely the best one in the entire show.

Last few episodes were pretty disappointing, because i have no idea what happened.  Lesbian dog enthusiast bowler lady was really random.
Most boring characters survived i guess.
At least we heard Noto Mamiko's angelic voice at the end.
All in all, i wish i never played the SNES game Boukyaku no Senritsu. Only because of this game i watched this crappy anime, and wasted so much time. The game was cool, but the anime sucks.
