| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think the series finish up nicely, Akira wasn't going to go down easily even with an injury but his fight with Meiren was a brutal one. It's good to see them both going all out in their respective forms though^^ but comparing to the arm Akira lost, it's sad to see Meiren went down though =.= |

| Lame ending. Gotta wait for subs for better understanding of memory loss. Meiren's final form was... wtf, dobutsu anime? 6/10 for the series overall |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| The fighting scene not very intense,actually i don't feel anything >.< .I guess the fight ain't that important in the story anyway... Should i call this anime a masterpiece??.... I think it a anime that pretend to be a masterpiece. Give it a good 8/10 for being able to see cool special affect and nice atmosphere(pace) ^^ ...2 Butterfly flying ^^ |

| I like the series overall and would rate it a 8.5/10. There was one episode i really did not care for. As for the ending it was awesome. Mieren's Animal form was quite a site to see. 2 Mina's? There's got to be another season coming up, or at least I hope so. Did anyone else hope that Akira's Arm regenerated or put back on at the end? Then the scene with Him and Mina showed it did. Overall I think it was the best Anime of the previous season. |
 |
| The anime was a really bad joke compared to the manga. And the fight was supposed to take MUCH longer =.="... it gets a 5\10 Btw how the heck got Yuki from the roof to the room where Mina and the 3 clans were in such short time ...? O_. |
| The manga was far superior then this but ill still give it a 7. |
| Overall, this series was average. The animation was horrible, and at times resembled a slide show at best, I no longer expect anything but trolls from SHAFT. The overall artwork was low quality (the censorship didn't really affect my opinion of this, but I'm sure many of you will fault it). An anime original end integrated with the manga... I guess that's what happens when you try to introduce an original character to replace a 2nd rate one that was important to that particular arc. This, and they actually left us with the possibility of a 2nd season. I'm glad though that they tried to follow the story as well as they could, but you don't get an A for effort. In the end, this was only something was way too over hyped, but fell way too short. Ultimately, a very generous 5/10. Often people will say that the manga is better than the anime, but comparing this to the manga isn't really fair; rather, associating DitVB with it's manga counterpart isn't fair, because this adaptation was garbage. Still, with that said, I would still recommend to the people who watched this, whether you were disappointed with it or not, to read the manga; I can almost guarantee you'll be more satisfied. Loved: The voice acting, and the Meiren/Akira conflict. Hated: The artwork, animation, meaningless symbolism and metaphors being thrown at you, and the way the anime was initially executed. |

| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| WTF is SFW doing?! Jeez, they're so freaking slow. |
 |
| First of all, there are NO FEMALE werewolves according to the manga. I guess the anime either forgot about that or was made before Angel-san appeared.... Other than that, very disappointing adaptation, mainly because they did not stick to the manga... As an anime alone, it had some good moment....but was overshadowed by some fundamental flaws.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| WTF did I just watch? The whole fangless scene felt so hollow. 2 mina....yeeeeaaaah if they had that kind of technology they wouldn't need to mate with the original mina. Got what a fucking stupid development WTF!!! NOW MEIREN WAS A LAVA GOLEM TOO? Meiren I am SOOOO glad you died even if I saw it coming a miiiiiiiiiile away. =_= ................they BOWED. THE THREE FUCKING PRICKS BOWED??? WELL THERE GOES ANY CHANCE OF A SECOND SEASON. God what a freakin trainwreck Episode gets a 2 out of 5 and the adaptation gets a strong 2 |

|
| I´m waiting spanish fansub xD there´s only one but it´s a very lame fansub so I´m waiting this, when the show becomes a little interesting the fansubs decide to stop subbing TT_TT |
| This was one of the worst endings to an anime I have ever seen, First some shounen crap with the nofangs, followed by the single most unintressting last fight ever, only to come to some wanna be happy ending, that hints to a second season.. Overall rating for the anime from me, 6/10, would have been higher had it had a good ending. |

| Ok so the end was quite the emotional shock one.....emotional that all the fang-less supported Akira...that was a nice scene.....liked it very much=> Fights were awesome!=>   The final scenes of the fight were really good! Liked it very much. Those guys=> I was also a little confused about the whole blood vial....was it to purge and destroy Mina clones or to absorb them into original Mina? The end with that laser weapon was so amazing I screamed......old lady is fried and ashed away! Yay!=> Overall 7/10 but soon it might be 8/10 or more because the BR were checked a little bit by me and they look very promising! I will give it that it made my rage go nicely and it was good horror minus loli effects of Mina. That was out of context for horror. kashim said: Yeah same reaction here.......Meiren's final form was... wtf, dobutsu anime? Beave said: Yeah I did and it surprised he actually did regenerate it since I did not expect. Did anyone else hope that Akira's Arm regenerated or put back on at the end? Then the scene with Him and Mina showed it did. Oh yeah the final picture for anyone who wants it=> |

| Crap. They sure are taking their time !!! >:0 |
| Derp, looks like Funi was the first to release English subs after all. ^^ |
| As much as I hate Funimation and their shit, I guess I'll have to go on their site and watch it subbed that way...my Japanese isn't good enough to understand the stuff in a show with this much dialog. Oh well, I'll rewatch it on Blu Ray and hopefully by then we'll have real subs for episode 12 instead of Funimation's horrible quality ones. |
| Ok™ |
| Alright, after watching it..I'd have to say it was a decent ending. They heavily hinted at a second season which is probably likely since the mangaka is a huge Shaft fanboy and it's a decent seller according to the charts. I can see the dislike of the series overall since it strayed from the manga, however..it's the mangaka's fault since he wanted a loose adaptation of the manga and wanted "Shaft's genius" to play with the storyline. I'm a big Shaft fan and I enjoyed the series and I wouldn't mind a second season...maybe they could fix up the shortcomings of the first one with a second, who knows. |
| Ok™ |
| I actually really enjoyed this. Loved the last couple of episodes, first ones were shit. Also, the animation was horrible. Go SHAFT. >_> But it was still enjoyable. 7.5/10 Would've been an 8.5 if the animation was WAY better. Also, lol at sfw being slower than funi. |
|
| I loved the end where she basically told the True Bloods "join me are we all die here" then as they knelt and she turned and walked away very prim and proper, and as soon as she was through the door RAN to Akira. |
 |
| Alright, so I would have given this anime a 7/10 but, just to be a bit of a troll, i'll give it a 8/10. Haha. No but seriously, this anime wasn't that bad imo. I never read the manga, so I don't really have the privilege to compare it to but, I was never a fan of animes following the manga, along as the adaption is good of course. I think that's why they call it an adaption and not a replica. Anyway, the ending was alright. Not too shabby, I would say. I can't really comment any further cause it was great or horrible, it was just "ok, yeah... ok". OR maybe it's because I waited so dam long that I almost forgot this season exists. Why do you have to troll us on the last episode, it's retarded. Whatever, no more ranting. I'm done, the season is done, time for some Angel Beats. |
|
| Maybe if i didn't know the Manga i would´ve enjoyed the Anime more, but as it is this adaption is complete nonsense. I hated those eye screencaps, i hated the 60´s-discolight-mature-version of Mina and the tiger thing with Mei-Ren was the worst from all. And is it only me that scene in which Akira stood up, naked, with blood all over his body, instantly reminded me of "Vision of Escaflowne"? o.O Overall i will stick with the Manga and just forget this series.... >.> |
 |
| The series was ok... |
 |
| The anime overall wasn't that bad, sure it was all over the place in terms of quality but it was a fun watch, hopefully the animation will get fixed with the DVD release and SHAFT please make a second season! 7/10 |
flakizs said: Do u guys think that they will make a second season with the other princess??? I think that's what they're going for yes. Way too many unanswered questions for a finale. Anyway, this was just okay. I stopped comparing it to the manga since it completely went away from the plot after a while, but judged as an anime on it's own plots and merits, it wasn't that bad. It could have been way worse with some magic fix everything in the last episode bull like I thought they were going to do. Also, it could have had some Power of Love crap like Dragonaut (aka, what I think is the worst anime ever created) What I did really like is that they threw in as much of the manga as they could into the last minute. The Fangless kids, the Fangless crowd cheering Akira on, a fateful reveal with Kamen Rider expy (though since Mei Ren is anime-only, it was somebody different in the manga) and showing the Cradle which I thought they had forgotten about. That being said, Were-cat wut? And DBZ fighting which made me go "WHAT?" and then "Damn, this is awesome" and then "What?" Animation was all over the place but this is SHAFT. I'm used to it and it'll be fixed up for the BD/DVD's anyway. All in all, a mediocre adaptation but on it's own merits, it's not something I hated. 7/10 for me. (I still like the OP and ED songs) |
 |
| THREE HOWLS for the warrior the coyotes in my neighborhood would be ashamed of those pansy howls, but i must say....it suits this show perfectly. i'm glad it's over. |
 |
| well. I actually kinda liked the ending for something anime-original but still they butchered the manga ;A; voice acting was really great in this episode and in my opinion the ending, as long as I keep in mind that the anime is a deviation from the manga, was kinda good. 7/10 because it had its moments and Meiren died :DD |

| clones, what the hell?! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| a terrible and boring ending to a terrible series |
kage-bunshin said: clones, what the hell?! wait so the secret is that there's multiple vampires all fighting each other to determines who gets to be the princess? so Mina won but 1 manage to escape/surive? not much explanation :/ season 2 maybe? |

| Interesting ending, I didn't really understand what Akira saw, multiple Mina's?! Wtf? Series gets a 7/10 Wasn't bad, I liked the atmospheric quality of it but the plot was a bit ...crappy. |
 |
| it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. 7/10 |
  |
| I really think it's unfair to compare the anime to the manga... The two should be rated and discuses separately. I think the fight with Mei was lame, but overall the episode was nice. I am glad for the happy ending and I think I will go with a 7/10 |
| Holy shit ... A clone ? -_- Just dumb like the 3/4 of the anime. Really hated and i'm not the sort of guy to hate a anime easily. :| 3/10 |
