Wow! an unexpected end, but is eager to see the future Maya

I wonder Maya marry to Uchida....
few min before end really got me..
the house in name Uchida and Maya lived in too...
or I was wrong?

yes I think maya raised the shota bunmei to marry him. I wonder if the future bunmei gone to alien dimension?

it's quite interesting that time paradox theory doesn't apply here.

1. the old principal commander doesn't remember anything past 13 years
2. the place where he was also transformed when he got out
3. where's the people that got outside first? when the first person shout about 'look outside!', how can he come back to that 'room'? (because #2)

it's like he got transported to another world after he got out.
but he has maya's phone number means that he already lived there or maya never change her number?

despite some other weird things, this show is quite enjoyable.
and also I think people in that village is quite rich, they have mobile phone at 1999. it's quite expensive(and big) in here.

as leon mentioned many things didnt fit imo the series got inconsistent after the curry girl turned into a witch etc besides that bunmei regaining his long lost bending powers and killing off the whole alien invasion?

I love maya I really do but inthe end they wasted the potential the series had and it was shit . Took me long enough tobring myself to see the last episode ..


In the end the fact that the last episode only has few comments shows that the producers/storywriters etc etc just did something wrong with this series at some point

ending was.....messed up to say the least

yup, this is correct
i was like whaaaa?

Wow that was a pretty bad show, I think the best thing about it was a spoon of doom.

Oh well it's good to watch something like this every now and then it makes you appreciate good shows more.

Well... I was kind of WTF around episode 10 when it became a shounen action adventure... but contrary to everyone else I actually really liked the ending... Filled with awesome GAR... iono if she raised him to marry her... maybe she just raised him like a child iono. Speaking of Gar i thought it was so sick when he took the spoon and charged into the aliens... But... ya the story REALLY changed around episode 10. Honestly I thought it was definitely a dream/joke sequence. I LIKED THE ENDING!

I actually liked the ending.

It was emotionally satisfying how the relationships grew over time. Their group was pretty strange, yet endearing. The ending was so tragic because the Bunmei she grew to love no longer exists.. all those times they had together... :[

I just don't put too much thought into time paradoxes anymore. 0_o So that didn't bother me.

liked the ending, really gave it 1 extra point in its score but I can't scratch out the paradox:

If Bunmei's meeting with his younger self was the key to the Space Rift then why was he there the first time?
For Bunmei to go to the past there had to be another original reason, not considering the invasion (or Nostradamus' Key).
Was there a reason for him to go to the past in the first place?
No.
Then it becomes a paradox.

It's like the paradox of another novel where a guy makes a time machine after his wife dies so he can go to the past and save her from the fatal accident but saving her wouldn't have given the guy the idea to build it therefore if the woman doesn't die, the guy never makes the time machine and can't go save her.

Having mixed feelings about the ending and the series in general. I've actually started watching it after a false review, which colored it completely different. Being a non-conventional, so to say, anime lover (as if I like things that fuck with you, like bakemonogotari, haruhi and such) I was looking for an anime that does not pack much of story line in it and is mostly just made to make you laugh. I wanted something to distract me so to say.

In that review it was called jap Harry Potter kind of story line, and being a fan of "secret world inside the one you know" stories I jumped in to it. But neither it had anything I was hoping it also was not very appealing in any other way. But I kept watching, simply cause I've already downloaded it and I hate doping anime and since it was only 13 ep's.

First 10 episodes were... decent. They had an ordinary story line, going somewhere towards harem, but without echi (and beautiful girls mostly, if I'll be completely honest). Occasional "occult" adventures were a bit out of place, but somehow blended in at the end.

The last 3 episodes actually were what I was looking for in the first place. Well, not exactly, but it would of worked. Lots of action, magic and nonsense, just what you would watch for relaxing. The "row, row, fight the power!" moment at the end was the only disappointing part of them.

But the ending... It does not fit. It's and awesome ending. Simply awesome. Yeah, it has problems with time travel logic, and it would of been better if they used magic to explain the world getting restored as opposed to science, but if you ignore that, it's just magnificent. But it's too good for this anime. It's too out of place for the first part of the series and too serious for the latter part.

Overall, it's not an anime I would normally watch and I can't really recommend it to anyone, simply cause of how unexpected and yet ordinary it is at the same time.

Wow, finally a decent ending blending together all the nonsense that distracts from episode 10 onward. Did not expect it to end this well. (And yes, we finally got the aliens)

I just wonder what happend to Bunmei.. did he dissapear to alternate space with the aliens? And how about the old principal.. Time leapse? The time paradox is something that is missing the point.

In the end..I think if Bunmei wouldn't return to the past in the first place notthing would change in the future and there wouldn't be a meaning for him to be sent back again to fix it.

Nonetheless, loved every single minute of it.

I can't believe he saved the world with a spoon. that's so damn epic OO"

That was a nice and satisfying ending IMO. Though the paradox annoyed me. I liked how bunmei became a hero in the end. When in the beginning he was a coward. Overall 8/10.

wow, that was unexpected,

even though future Fumiaki sacrificed himself to save future,

he knew he was key and only way to save future is to kill himself.

well, he'll always be hero of world.

and i wonder what's Maya's relationship to Fumiaka, i was thinking maybe that

Maya got married to Fumiaki because from what i've seen in ending "Uchida".

i'll say this is 9/10 overall rating =)

Horrible ending.

I really loved the last 3 episodes, and it's a pity the whole series felt very slow passed. They could have developed much more the idea of time-travel and such... but, it turned out quite interesting in the end!

7/10

What a mess. I've rarely seen such a strong opening wasted so completely. If the series had been about Maya's feelings toward her father (and his murder) it probably would have been better. Instead that's dropped immediately and we get episodes that could belong to any supernatural action-comedy series, abdicating the chance to create its own identity. When it tries to pick it back up, it's too little, too late, plus it missed its chance at being developed.

This is not to mention the unusually weak love story and shifting the lead to boring old Bunmei at the end.

This ending was literally perfect. O_O As long as 2 Bunmeis existed in the same time-stream at a point, they would meet and be the key. When the older one jumped into battle and died, it negated the time-stream and generated a new future... talk about craziness! :)

Thank you. Exactly what I was wondering, but just couldn't put in words.

As someone said, after the curry girl turned into a witch, this just went downhill. But overall I enjoyed.

7/10

What an awful ending. So the guy couldn't have just stayed in her office for two days and avoid meeting himself? Or they could've just sent him back to his time the moment they realized meeting himself was the key. But no, somehow being at the closing cermony or him meeting his mother is more important than the fate of the world.... ugh..
