The ending really owned!
"I've always wanted to touch that scar of yours at least once, Tokiko-san." LOL

I wonder if Kazuki was tired after fighting Victor for a MONTH! He will probably get some reeeeally horrible muscle-pains! Also he had to hold his breath for all that time, and he didn't have the chance to do that energy absorbing, which was supposed to be as vital as breathing.

Glad everything got resolved and had a happy ending, or else I would have been depressed. ^^

I didn't realise that Busujima (helmeted alchemist warrior) was a girl, let alone a cute one! Bet she has a crush on Hiwatari! :D

*cough cough*

Yup it was an impossibly happy ending for every single character! Even the homunculus that worked for Pappi at the beginning got cloned and they're going to live happily ever after on .... the moon!?!?!?!?! Lol Moonface living on the moon!!! :P

Sorry seriously, apart from some plot holes here and there (as DarkBlue has mentioned), a happy ending really did suit this anime! Plus its nice to see a decent romantic relationship in this genre. :)

I'm happy theyre together, though.

i liked it it had a resolution that was a happy one.............mainly i liked the small skit of tokiko running away since kazuki wants to touch her scar.........but askto touch the ear or the neck..........lol.............it was a good comedy that had pretty good action.....the action was pretty fast ........too a little disappointed at ep 25 since i rather see kazuki fight
victor more than anything else but it was cool how much people loved kazki......also everytime i think about tokiko and kazuki's future its always a big question mark since he doesnt seem type to get a really high paying job so basically they both be working hard to live and family life and so on............but show...mostly reminded me of d gray man of the system of enemies and fighters..........love the characters....knew the gas helmet warrior was a girl since her size and so

Well this was horrible. I found the plot predictable, the dialogue lacking, and the characters were just silly. The only thing that kept me watching this was Tokiko, she was awesome in the beginning but as the show went on it just became worse.

I'm rating this show 5/10, an average typical shounen with a main character that's overpowered and supporting characters that are neglected.

I felt the same way. Kazuki never finished his fight properly with Victor, Tokiko never finished her fight with Pappion, and the third white kakugane came out of nowhere. The series was good but the ending was just a flat-out dissipointment to me.

If you didn't get the idea of this show just being a generic fighting show with a main character that has some kind of 'secret super power' then it was probably painful to watch. There were a ton of things that made no sense or that I saw coming before they even happened, hell I guessed some of the dialogue. But, beyond all that it was a very enjoyable show, funny, had some good, if not exaggerated, fights, and a happy ending is never bad once in a while :D . 8/10, recommended if you are just trying to kill some time and have a few laughs.

Kiiind of predictable ending. :P We knew Kazuki would come back and everyone would have a happy ending somehow. I never even imagined that the kid with the gas-mask thing or whatever (Busujima?) was a girl, haha.

I couldn't stop laughing during this episode. Fight on the moon was already ridiculous (weak gravity and no air can be damned) but "reunion" in outer space is even beyond that. And "This time fore real, you and I are one" phrase with both of them naked... ^^

Awesome ending by the way. Other than not giving a damn about physics at all it's really enjoyable series :]

Overall, I think the series felt complete than most anime I've seen. It was corny and nonsensical at times, but the characters made up for those moments. It's an enjoyable series and I'm glad I decided to watch it.

I would have given it a 7.5/10, but since we can't do decimal ratings here in MAL, I gave it a 7. It just didn't feel like an 8 for me.

Lame things:
- Super saiyan enemy and moments
- Some weapons/weapon balance
- Some enemies
- Some moments were really corny

Good things:
- Romance subplot was done nicely
- Characters were fun and unique
- Felt like a complete series
- Corny moments were LOL material

So as predicted we've got a happy ending 8D too bad Kazuki's battle with Victor was so short... (and it always amazes me in anime that people can breathe in space xD and Moon's gravity was the same as on Earth... yeah, screw the physics :P)

I must say I was disappointed with sudden change of Victor's heart ._. and he's gonna live with all homunculuses on the Moon? they're not gonna survive long imo

Chouno as a town's star, lol XD and he slightly changed his outfit 8D and I'm glad he remained friends with Kazuki ^^ btw, I want plushie Chouno from this fast food place >///< it was so cute :D

all in all it was an enjoyable series, I'm giving it 8/10

Overall average show, and as for the white k. i saw it coming right after i heard of the black k., way to predictable of a show. and juswt to stay on topic this was a very blah ending and i would have like to see an even bigger emotional relationship between Tokiko and Kazuki, the way they portrayed it i just didn't feel the love. However with all that said i couldn't help but be drawn in by this anime, probably Chono XD.
7/10 (i rate high)

This ending was awesome, even if it was predictable it was a happy one which was a good change of pace with all the bittersweet endings that are in anime these days.From Kazuki and Tokiko's touching reunion to Kazuki owning Papillion yet again it was all i could have expected and wanted in an ending to the show. As cliche and predictable as this show could be, as bad as some of the dialogue was i couldn't help but really enjoy the show. the chemistry between Kazuki and Tokiko and solid second half to the show made this one really enjoyable for me 9/10.

Everything fell into place way too convenient, still it was a good ending.

D: why didn't they animate the entire manga chapter in which the ending scene was based, it doesn't even explain the scar. lol still it was fun.

Finsihed it yesterday. Really liked it.

Not a great story but I liked the fights, powers and the characters (Papillon kinda scared me though :x).
I wish we could've seen more of the fight of Victor vs Kazuki on the moon. It was the final boss and kinda the final fight of the series. It deserved more imo.

nevertheless I'm glad to finally see an ending to an anime instead of having it stop somewhere midway like in many of my previous animes

Recently I started watching anime that involve Fukuyama Jun so this one was a must. Looking back at it I'm really glad that I decided to do so since this anime had nearly everything I enjoy watching- action, humour, a little romance, a nice plot, strong villains and a happy ending. 10/10

Just finished it minutes ago. Loved it. Although Papillon was quite the villain early on, he quickly became both a comedic character, as well as an invaluable ally to Kazuki. I actually rooted for him after a while, and felt kinda sad when I presumed he died.

Even though the series has your tipical Shounen story, I really liked it. For one the romance in it actually evolved into something which almost never happens in these types of anime, plus the action and comedy was awesome! Because of that I did not care that the main story is generic, the main characters make up for it in my opinion.

Really liked the whole series, actually kept my attention and a happy ending for once in a blue moon.

I just wish there was a translation at the end of the episode for us non-Japanese because I cant read it thats for sure and from what I have read and gathered and saw...he wanted to touch her scar(among other things im sure) and it just seemed like a funny convo between all of their friends...so if anyone can translate it or point me in the right direction itd be much appreciated.
