8/10 Would've given it 9, but I did not like the ending - and I do not mean Togame's death (though that's part of it), but the fact that Shichika lived, and - what's more important - him traveling with Hitei. To me, what was between Shichika and Togame was real, and pairing Shichika with Hitei in the end is like saying "Oh, but y'know... It doesn't really matter whom he travels with" - and that's what pisses me off the most about this episode. And the fact that Hitei irritated me for the most part. If they had to kill Togame off, it would've been much better if Shichika died in the castle IMHO. Besides, depressing - what do I care about Shichika going GAR, if all I notice in the scene is how he became a small, shattered fragment of his earlier self? |

good story ill give it a 8/10 if only the animation on the past fighting scenes have been as good as the last fight with emonzaemon then this series deserves a 10/10 for me but overall nice story and not lacking of explanations and it has a good conclusion too |

I enjoyed this, a lil sad that it is all over now. Though there was a lot of talking, its was just a minor part that I was able to over look (at times) and still enjoy this series. Not sure how I feel about this ending. Has nothing to do with Togame dying.....just, I don't know, but I can say I didn't hate it. Did enjoy the battles and how we changed into a badass when he got to the castle. And that fight with Emonzaemon was magnificent. And the super speed was great, especially the fact that he used it to make sure the bullets hit him. Laughed @ the 10th sword and 272 hit combo on the guy with the 7th sword. Overall very enjoyable series, and enjoyed to art work to it. 9/10 |

So it's been a year. I liked the story and characters, and the humor really got amusing at times, and I had fun watching every episode. Anyways, what a bittersweet ending! Although I'm sure Shichika's fate wasn't so bleak as to having had died at a roadside in the middle of nowhere, not after all of what he was able to demonstrate. So yea, I'll give this at least a 9 considering all the entertainment I got from it. |

I don't even remember why they were searching for the swords anymore, and why did they want to kill the emperor again? |

The Ending was perhaps the only moment I wasnt annoyed at the narrator ... After being disappointed so much by pretty much everything this year offered (that Ive watched) it was nice to watch something so good ... I wonder if that Katanagatari spin-off will be animated Maniwagatari - http://myanimelist.net/manga/20983/Maniwagatari |

Awesome last episode. Shichika Berserk mode is gar, even breaking Kanna, supposedly an unbreakable sword ^_^ Him ending up with Hitei wasn't as bad for me. I liked how she kept Emonzaemon's mask. There's one thing that's bugging me though. What was Emonzaemon's relation to Houou? All in all, this ep gets a 10 from me. "Isn't life, by nature, a contest decided by a single round?

9/10. Possible 10 if Shichka had died, Togame death took less time and Emonzaemon's face was shown. Anyway this kind of ending was satisfying. Modified by GuroFX, 12-12-10, 3:44 AM |

9/10 Surprisingly, I really liked the ending. I`m usually more of an everyone-dies ending kind of person but Shichika traveling with Hitei seems appropriate. And the battle with Emonzaemon was totally epic. I really wish I could read the novels and Maniwagatari, but I doubt they`ll ever be translated. \: |

9/10 For the earlier episodes, i could have used longer fights and less blurred flashes. or in the 4th episode's case, a fight with Hakuhei. in this episode, i loved Yoshimasa Hosoya's voice during Shichika's attack on the castle. the emotionless anger that i felt in his voice was just perfect, unitll his emotion's returned for the Cherio at the end. as for traveling with Hitei, makes the ending better for me actually. that way he's not completely alone. |

As I take a deep breath, and release it from my mouth. As I cry a single tear from my eye. My heart, body, and soul feel complete as I finish this incredible story of bloodshed, betrayal, and love. Katanagatari you will always have a place in my heart. ~ Katanagatari awarded ''Masterpiece'', Dec. 12, 2010 ~ There are literally no words in my mouth, or mind that could illustrate the dimensions of this brilliant masterpiece called ''Katanagatari''. It literally is frustrating to see this anime end with such nostalgic calibur. I'm sorry, however in the case of this show, my mind is at a loss for words. An amazing 12 months it has been on this rollercoaster of emotion, passion, and complexual incredibility. 10/10, and to be placed as one of my top 10 anime, indefinitely. I would like to thank this show for keeping my interest locked into place, and focused. They say a picture can bear 1000 words, and i'd like that picture to be a picture to be of ''Katanagatari's'' title. ''Katanagatari'' completed! |

I didn't like the fact that Togame died but everything what happened after her death was just f*cking epic. Great show, one of the better ones this year! Cheerio! |

9/10 Finished the entire series in two days, and now i've got work to finish. Overall a great series, i would've preferred less dialogue and a more easy-to-understand story but the ending and overall plot was great. One question - Why does Togame's eyes suddenly turn red-blue? They never explained it during the series did they? Cheerio~! |
