| Damn... shit has hit the fan. I'm not sure what else I expected, half the characters died. Poor Soon and Boo... 😭 I'm done with Nabuca, dude is retarded. This would be out of character, but I hope Shuu strangles him to death. I'm honestly out of words, this might be the most intense penultimate episode of any show I've ever seen. |
| Oh no the cute children died, who could have possibly seen that coming. It's sad that boo died but I knew soon was here to die the second she walked on screen |
| wtf is this anime, don't know if i should rate it 10 or 1 |
| @Rei_III: There's a lot of "coincidences" in this anime, like the fact that Sara and Shuu-Lala Ru meet again in Zari-Bars, plus the fact that they never found Zari-Bars, for years, and conveniently the soldier who likes Sara (and presumably the father of her baby) found it just when everyone was gathered there. I can keep going but that's an anime I guess, it's normal to find some coincidences like these but I felt like the end was rush. Moreover, there's still a lot of unanswered questions. It may seem like I'm just complaining, but as you may have already seen, I gave it a 9. I really enjoyed this anime overall, the characters, especially Shuu, although a lot of people don't seem to like him, I really like straighforward characters like him, the music is good too and eventhough the end was a little bit rush, this anime did quite well for 13 episodes. |
| @_Kudo_ Thanks for the answer. I never thought the coincidences were coming from the fact it's a japanese animated series. Maybe because of my childhood spent on "overconsumption of fictions" I simply came to imagine they were an essential ingredient of any kind of fiction in triggering events. But I can "see" them indeed. (the question was in no way meant to criticize you, I do not care about people's notes. What's behind is what is interesting. ^^) PS: désolée pour l'anglais ! |

| I was thinking about Boo's fate many episodes ago, looks like my worst predictions came true. Powerful episode. But of course people who view themselves as "smart critics" complain about how it's "forced" and "pretentious" that all that violence happened and that children died. How could the director do that, it's just for "shock value"! Predictable! Sigh. Missing the point again. How about just learning a bit more history and understanding that nothing in this show is "pretentious shock value". This happens. The message is screaming in the viewers' faces but some still fail to see it and deride the show as "forced". Oh, and I *expect* people complaining about Abelia till the very end. "Lack of character development"! "Unrealistic"! Actually there were a lot of crazy kings in history that had followers nevertheless. And many people who respected the authority of some dictator and commited horrible things for one reason or another. You don't need to go inside everybody's head and figure out why they're working for Hamdo. That's all. In the case of Abelia, she presumably loves him (obvious from many scenes and her reactions). |

| I'm speechless, that end was amazing and for once the black out silence really worked well. Really good rising actions that also communicated the themes of the story. This series is going to fit nicely into my collection of top tier animated war series (RvB, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Fullmetal Alchemist, A:TLA). |
 |
| Yeah, I knew Boo would die the second he popped up, but something about the whole scene hit really well all the sweet, emotional spots, specially because of the ost - and lack thereof. I can't remember the last time I got goosebumps from any work, but this episode did it for me more than once: when Abelia was trotting through the village and flashes of dead villagers showed up, and the whole last confrontation. |
 |
| Nooo,not boo and soon too geez |
| i'm crying, i hope the ending will be at least a bit positive |

| Elamba died and accomplished nothing, as expected. Nabuca is too delusional for me at this point. Willing naivety isn't an excuse for what he's done. Even Boo (who was complicit with throwing Sara into the rape cell) eventually realised that Hamdo planned on exploiting them until they died, but Nabuca just uses threats and guns to silence people at every opportunity. Soon dying was awful though, she deserved better. |

| Man this anime is too depressing and brutal, they just killed off half the characters just like that as if it was nothing. Don't get me wrong it a good show, but it's been so sad and emotionally taxing to watch. I don't even want to know what the ending will be like. |
| The second I knew what was going to happen in the last 5 minutes, I just kept holding my breathe. I don’t know how this will end but cheers. |
