| Okay, I was very disappointed after watching the ending. I followed the whole series just for the battle, but it ended up being so rushed that I couldn't even appreciate it. And what? Felicita wins the battle? I thought the main point of the battle was for her to find a husband who could protect her. I enjoy watching harems/reverse harems, but I hate it when the main character doesn't chose anyone or ends up choosing friendship over love. 6/10 |

| The final was acceptable. Ok, the anime wasnt what I expected but I have to admit was enjoyable. |
| This series is 5/10 from me. Luca and Debito are lovely, but overall I didn't like this series so much. |
| That was absolutely predictable. Not to mention boring. |
| disappointed with the duel, but the 2nd half was pretty good A decent series 6.5/10 |
| The most boring show I've seen in a while. |
 |
| My opinion about this series? Meh. Meh is the only way to describe it. The only thing I liked in these series was art. It was decent. It was wasted on such boring series like this. I really had more expectations for Arcana Famiglia. I give Arcana Famiglia 4/10. |
| I don't know man. I don't hate this series but I didn't enjoy it at all. Pretty mediocre Anime. At least it's watchable. Not a bad Anime to pass time. 6/10 I hope J.C Staff doesn't screw up like this in LB. |
| So this is what we got after waiting for a long ass time for the Duello? Oh my freaking GOD! Talking and re-used footage. This shit is unbelievable. There is absolutely nothing good in this piece of garbage of an anime. The characters are staying in the dark because we only saw Nova and Liberta bickering ALL THE TIME. The animation was BAD, The art was BAD, The voice acting was good only because of the amazing staff, but it was wasted because of the unwatchable work from the animators, who made the characters look soo shitty and DERPY when speaking.... Holy shit. When did the Arcana powers become from a personal talent to just a random mish mash. Why did the sword fly back to Liberta? I thought his power had something to do with fire? What did Nova do with his power in the battle? I thought his power was putting people to sleep`..... This makes no sense.... Cool seeing the Mama in action though... NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THIS CRAAAAAAAP!!! 2/5 for the episode. 3/10 for the series. |
| Very disappointed to the ending |
 |
| Finally, this shit comes to an end. Seriously Felicità knocks out, Debuto, Pace, and Luca in 15 seconds total OKAY no fighting just them being downers. 5/10 for me. I should drop it to a 4, but usually scores lower then a 4, go on my drop list.

| Wowwwwwwwww talk about anticlimatic. Wasn't expecting much for the duel tbh, though seriously... how did she beat Debito, Pace and Luca?! How did she beat... uh... anyone?! Arcana powers seemed to kind of lose it as well, especially in Liberta and Nova's duel... I mean, Nova's power is sleep. Wtf is with the flaming blue sword. (And why didn't he just arcana all his opponents to sleep?! Uh...) It was okay, I guess. So much wasted potential, though... still, I might play the game sometime. |
| Wow. I don't think I've seen a worse final episode. This was utter nonsense. As much as I'm into gender equality and all, a small teen girl beating the crap out of adult men and having no wounds and not being tired at all? Seriously? What world does the scriptwriter live in? What the hell was all that bullshit about "growing up"? She (and everyone else, maybe only Nova) haven't changed AT ALL since the show started. What happened to those Arcana powers? Did they forget about them during their duels with her? Why was every battle done with strategy "charge and don't think"? Where was Jolly the whole time? Didn't everyone with Arcana powers have to join the fight? What the hell was with the ending? That was plain awful! They chose the stupidest and the most predictable ending. Not to mention that I generally hated endings "and everything returned to normal". I feel like it kills the whole point of the show. 1/5 Now, to the whole anime. No character growth, very little plot, the battles were done in a plain dumb way, false/deceiving advertising, most of the characters could have been easily replaced by one and aside from the first and last episode the "Arcana Famiglia" did no "Regalo protecting" instead they fooled around and ran errands. Of course, this did have interesting/entertaining/funny moments and characters so it wasn't all that bad. I give this 4/10. |

| LOL if the fights weren't rushed I don't know what is lol they all get knocked out by Felcita without even seeing the fights they just say they lost |

| There was hardly any point in the main cast fighting the nobodies in the preliminary rounds. They mostly one-shotted them without arcana use. I was more interested in how all the major arcana holders would battle each other anyways and in the end, not all of them even participated. I would have liked less emphasis on Liberta and Nova (this applies to the whole series) and more attention on the ones who were sulking with Jolly. Their battles with Felicita weren't given any second thought. It makes me wonder how she won these battles, did she kick them in the family jewels or something? Yeah it was insanely rushed, even the Duello which I was looking forward to since the first episode, only started in the finale. Even then, it was mostly an average sword fight. Might as well forget about their arcana powers entirely. Heh, I find the negative views on this show entertaining but I can see the reasons why. This show is a mess sometimes but there were aspects I liked such as the gorgeous island setting and the names of the characters. I appreciated the use of the OP and ED songs in this episode very much too. For a show which I thought had a great first episode, I feel slightly conned at what was given to me at the end. They could have taken a different direction like focusing on protecting Regalo from crime or maybe starting the Arcana Duello earlier and giving the spotlight on how each character can use their powers strategically in battle. I didn't think it was an awful show but it just could have been so much better. 5/10. |
| Finished as it started - hint of a fight, hint of romance and a hint of a plot, but in the end, nothing, boring. What's worst is it stuck out the typical formula of many, MANY interesting characters subject to the status minor whilst we're left with same old story; teen angst shines threw thrashing any storyline, featuring stroppy girl, high enegry boy and low energy boy - who will she choose if the 95% chance that the series ends without a pairing somehow doesn't play out as usual. It's my fault, I don't know why I got duped into this, I found ep' 1 silly and I'm getting old. :( I have dropped some anime this year, but this has been the worst. :o |
 |
| ...welp gotta admit this episode was the worst and totally rushed. Not what I expected and it was sorta boring.. I'm still giving it an 8/10 cause I overall did enjoy the anime and the characters..just not this last episode. |
 |
| It was a disappointing end for a disappointing series. 5/10 |

| 3some ending... it was okay.. I'm gonna miss my Jolly~ |
 |
| Bambina made it.~ 5/10 |
| What a shit anime. I have not been this disappointed in a long time in an anime. Christ what a waste. |
| well a predictable ending after a crap load of fillers. Cant really hate it though. ヽ( ￣д￣;)ノ |
    |
| I actually enjoyed the series but I really hate the last episode. It really brought down everything that I've liked about Arcana Famiglia. No seriously. 6.5/10, scoring a 6 on MAL. If they only made the last episode better might've scored this a 7 or an 8. WTF LAST EPISODE. WTF? But seriously going to miss Debito. AHAHAHA. |
| Haha that must be a joke, a total reset ending, overall the story was terrible. They could have done something more interesting with this cast instead of such cheesy and predictable :( Well, I laughed quite hard while facing my disbelieve when following the route this episode took. |

| One episode for the duello? Lame. It was okay, although i wanted to see Felicita actually fight the first three.... The rest was pretty cheesy and i literally predicted everything that played out. It's watchable if you know it's there for the shoujo element and mainly want to watch it for the (actually somewhat nonexistent for me) shoujo element.. Otherwise this show will bore you to death. 6/10 for me. It might have been totally good if some of the characters weren't so....bleh. Looking at you Felicita. |
| I won't even bother with stating why exactly this episode was so friggin horrible and the worst of the whole series. I'm just glad this is over. Definetely the worst series this year, yet. Just barely made it to a 2/10. |
 |
| too fucking short duello i thought this will be the main event ... and in the end nothing changed... -.-' 5/10 changed my mind 3/10 |
 |
| Bad series is bad and its creators should feel bad. 1/5 for this episode. 3/10 for the overall series. |
| This show felt really rushed. Woud've loved to get more background info on all the char. specially papa and jolly and who the person who's name was on the gravestone in an earlier episode were. So many questions left unaswered really lowered the score for me. It was also a disappointment that there wasn't any really cool duels in what was supposed to be the climax for the whole show, no to metion the open ended romance. Guess I really shouldn't have expected anything else from an anime from an otome game... Gave it 7/10 since it had so much potential, but I'm probably changing it to 6/10 later. |
 |
| Guess gonna delete all the episodes I had downloaded.. No good for rewatch.. |
| Keep moving forward |

| i thionk this anime would've been more popular if it had more actions. |

| Dafuq have I wasted my time watching?! Ugh. I'd give this a 2/10... but I'm making it a 4/10 because Debito + Jolly + Luca had some episodes where they were featured.... and they are SEXY... but yeah 4/10. I will most certainly NOT watch any OVA unless it promises extreme fanservice of the above gentlemen. |
  |
| I started getting into this, but wow that ending was stupid. What exactly was the point? They build up to a choice so she can save Papa. They build up to Nova and Liberta's feelings and this whole tournament. In the end ..... NONE OF IT MATTERED. STUPID. They fight and they give the stupid draw. Nobody wins. Okay fine Felicita is still going to pick someone right? NOPE. She saves him anyway despite having to pick a lover. Cop out. What happened to Debito? Pace? The other guy? Oh they somehow lost to Fel in a few seconds, and it couldn't even be shown. WHAT? Why was Mama even in the tournament? I don't even know what to say. I wanted to give it a 6. Now I feel like a 4. I'll just leave a 5 for now. Still that was really really pointless. Nothing changed. Nothing was resolved. |
 |
mystik said: Why was Mama even in the tournament? Because she obviously didn't want to be the Mama. She wanted to be the Papa while the old Papa becomes the Mama. OR She wants to marry her daughter. |
| Can I explain my hate towards that ending? This anime started nice, it was slow-paced but I found it to be quite nice, I even gave it a 10 in the beggining. All the characters seemed somehow interesting, some more than others. Luca was definitely the one who caught my attention ever since the beggining, but there was no development for him. He seemed to have a nice backstory with Jolly and I would have liked it to be shown instead of just stupid comments like "we were Jolly's experiments". It would have been better if they hadn't said anything at all 'cause it only made me more curious. Ok, now the ending: What kind of fight was that? Felicita won Debito, Pace and Luca that fast? I mean, Pace I can even understand 'cause his first fight was stupid, but the other two, come on. That girl was stupid, naive and seemed powerless, so how and why? Just because it was her destiny? Oh please. And from the 9th episode or something to the final the spotlights were for Nova and Libertá, both boring characters. Debito seemed far interesting than them. AND THAT WISH OF HERS I feel like I could rip my eyes out. Oh, and let's not even mention the fact that the anime was suposed to be about the Arcana Duello, but this winded up being the last thing and was damn rushed. If I want a second season? Not that I really care, I mean, beside the other characters development what more is left to show? 7/10 < Lost 2 points for that stupid ending. |
