AMAZING ENDING. God I love this show, should of been longer.

I HATE YOU SO MUCH NETFORCE.


edit: Great end. 10/10, on favourites list.


Though on another note, I need to rewatch the series.

I loved everything about this show. The ending was outstanding as well. That wasn't how I thought it was going to end at all...

great ending, loved the last scene

OMGOMGOMG Lol i am downloading the episode right now, I was going to go to bed since it's 2am here but screw sleep I HAVE to watch this now.

Ah, so everyone came back to life? Anyway, nice happy ending, mostly thanks to Neiro's efforts. Though I didn't expect mecha action in this show.

I really didn't expect this anime to be so great. Even the last ep was great, in fact it was actually a bit better than the rest of the series. The gundam was a nice touch too, and so was the Evangelion-ish ending XD

Though I have to say that the thing with Neiro's memories going back to the guy with glasses was a bit lame.

Excellent way to end the show, I've been very fond of the animation through out the whole series. At first glance it really looked like this would be a rather boring show, but it turned out to be the opposite.
Very good anime, wonderful music, good voice actors, great story. I've liked every aspect of this anime, thus it's getting a 9/10.

hmm the last ep kinda lost me a bit but it was pretty good.

This last episode was rather confusing, but it was still great!

Overall, I simply loved this series! Definitely gets a 10/10, and it's going to my Top 10 ^^

Epic ending, best show of the year IMO. Also best OST of the year by far


Story - 8
Animation/Art - 9
OST - 10
Character - 8
Enjoyment - 10
Overall - 9

If you enjoyed this go check out Yuasa's other work: see Mind Game and Kemonozume

10/10 from me. The only thing this Anime is guilty of is being sinfully short. It could of easily had 12 more planet exploring episodes, IMO. I wanted to see more of Kaiba's delightfully creative world.



They were never dead in the first place, their memories were just destroyed.

B.E.S.T Series E.V.E.R.

I'll probably say that one or two times in my life... (I wish more! :P)

This is the first anime to give me chills at each episode and to make me cry so often... There aren't enough words to describe it... It is not only perfect on the surreal/creative/artistic side, but it is also filled with SO MUCH emotions! Not so many animes are able to blend emotions with surrealism; Mind Game being probably the best example after Kaiba...

I hope Masaaki Yuasa will make other masterpieces like Kaiba, Mind Game, Kemonozume, Cat Soup, Noiseman Sound Insect (animation part) and The Happy Machine (From Genius Party)... All in my top 20 or even top 10...

Now, I need the OST and a nice Kaiba wallpaper! :P

Overall: 9
Story: 8 - Very good story although they tried to make the ending a little too complex imo. I think we saw like 4 different warps in the last two episodes? (not counting the ones in the sacs) And some things were left rather vague.
Animation: 9 - I enjoyed this aspect a lot. I know it's a simplistic style and all but it seems that there is a lot of beauty and originality in it's simplicity. (if that makes any sense)
Music: 10 - Maybe the best OST of the season.
Characters: 10 - I loved the characters and how this show developed them slowly. And they used flashbacks very well - not overdone.
Enjoyment: 9

I feel that fell a bit short. It wasn't horrible, but I was expecting a lot more.

You've already said everything, this show was close to perfection and probably the best work by Masaaki Yuasa so far, though Mind Game is definitely a cult movie and even more experimental than Kaiba. I hope this great director is recognized for his works some time soon.

This show was steadily heading its way towards a score of 10 from me, but once that airplane security guard dude died, the show suddenly changed direction and sadly headed into mediocrity, and ultimately the mind-numblingly boring and empty finale that is episode 12.

One tiresome action scene after another; all plotlines wrapped up so simply without any depth or complexity like we've seen previously in this show. Its like the writer just couldnt give a shit anymore and picked up the Holy Book of Cliches for guidance. I guess I should thank the book for letting him know that we ran out of patience with Popo some time ago and he should ditch him already, but unfortunately being that the book is the Holy Book of Cliches, it could only tell him so much.

The first half of this show was 9 worthy, just brilliant in so many ways. The second half is worth a 7, completely predictable and thus boring as hell. So I'll give it an 8 and walk away.

*walks away with a raincloud above him*

Wow. That was awesome. The first time you watch it, it doesn't make a lot of sense. But after the second time everything really starts to come together and be understandable. Only thing I still don't get is when Neiro says "those are your memories you stored away after pushing back the plant." I assume the plant is the kaiba, but when did Kaiba defeat the plant? And why store his memories? So I was confused about that. But everything else was perfect 10/10. My new favorite anime.

Could the hear the amount of people who loved the musical score for this series. Just a shame the soundtrack that came with the first DVD doesn't feature all the BGM tracks from the series.

Are you sure? I've listened to the soundtrack and I think all of the music in the show is on it. Track 2, my favourite, is the one thats used regularly during those emotional moments and climaxes. Dont expect another soundtrack, it was only 12 episodes long afterall.

My favourite soundtrack of 2008 so far.
