That ending was incredibly mediocre. The show started as an 8/10 and ended a 6/10, so I'm giving it a 7/10.

I really only watched the show because Steins;Gate is my favorite anime, so naturally I was drawn to anything related to it. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone unless they were specifically looking for something like it.
i have to agree, it lost some quality mid/end, it changed from mystery to kinda low quality action, but still a good anime.
i think both are kinda similar on mystery style. but just it.

I don't know about people. I swear to god I watch one anime and think "this is decent" and everyone else says it sucks (like this one). Then I watch another anime and think "this is decent" and everyone else says it's the best shit ever (like FMA). In the end, for me it's another 6 or 7. There really was quite a lot to enjoy about this one, it wasn't high art but it was pretty damn entertaining regardless. I do agree the latter half didn't live up to the first half, but I actually liked these last two episodes a lot, cliches be damned. The paradise/harem delusion actually kind of reminded me of Evangelion, I wonder if that's where they got that idea?

well I read some comments here and i was like wtf!? things like good ending if taku died..... why is it a good ending then? I would be sad if he died. But the anime itself i gave it a 9, didn't ever played the game, so i can't compare.
Still this anime had something... it kept me intrested and wanted to watch more and more and more :3.

the only thing i don't get is if this a good ending yes or no.... i assume it's a yes, cuz he and rimi kissed, but then they are holding hands and it ends....-.- euhm does that mean they are together?!:s

EDIT: if i have to believe the character description of MAL then it's a good ending.
"After the final battle between the Giglomaniacs and Noah II, Rimi kisses Taku before she prepares to kill him, however after iterating his desire to live she spares him. The show ends with Rimi and Taku confessing their love for each other, and with the rest of the Giglomaniacs, repairing the city from the previous battle."
imo that was my first thought, but still I couldn't be sure until now!:D

I think it's quite good ending...

After probably 6-7 episodes, the anime turned to have strongly "happy end", so I was prepared for the ending like this..

And yes, I'm also satisfied with Taku and Rimi's relationship development, it seems very natural to me :)

So, in all my final score is 8/10..
Good job!

I think that the first half of the series was pretty interesting with all his delusions and that you didn't really know what was going on with the murders an such. But it wasn't THAT good, and then it took a turn and became something completely else - not for the better. All murders were forgotten and a bad guy and big conspiracy was introduced to the anime with only a few episodes left. Then they rushed through it and wrapped it up.

I give it a 4 or 5. It was a bit entertaining, but the story was so butchered that much that had happened in the end felt pretty pointless.

I also think people are judging this one too harshly, it's nowhere near the mastery of Steins;Gate but it was a pretty good effort nonetheless. I think if they had two cours to develop the characters more they wouldn't have come off so flat, but then we'd probably wind up with filler-tastic festival and beach episodes and other such 'development opportunities'.

Was I the only one who found the hero dying in slow, terrible pain as a spike gets rammed up his ass a wee bit disturbing? Maybe everyone who hated the guy was enjoying it, but that really freaked me out a bit. Especially when he 'dies' and the intestine-covered spike comes out his mouth.

I kinda liked the 'black snake' power-up, though there wasn't much build-up to it previously. If he talked about his black serpent power in his MMO or something it would've been cooler.

I give it a 8/10, some nice concepts, decent art and a harem to be admired. Am I the only one who wants to see some wincest with the cute imouto? Pity Seira-tan never joined the harem, since the harem's what replaced her ...

Sigh....they just HAD to shove "love" into this anime
This whole series seemed like it was having mood swings
Was there any major point to the murders in the very beginning???
I thought that the whole concept of “Those eyes…whose are they?” would be tied into the end….but they kind of let the whole thing go by the end
Taki’s character development was….well….odd…to say the least
His whole character was annoying to me….but at least he grew some balls in the last two episodes
Also….why is Taki’s sister a giga-whatever???
There was NO explanation or reason for her to have a Di-sward…
Every other character had a reason and we got an explanation…
Taki annoyed me till the end though…he was a wuss from the start and the “courageous” act at the end didn’t really redeem him.
I still think that they should of left love out of this anime…it’s just….out of place =_=

Oh god what the hell did I just watch? I have no idea how the game is, but this was the first time I truly felt like I wasted my time watching an anime in years.

The main character is just horrible, really, not funny horrible, just plain boring horrible, I realize there are several "bad main characters" out there but they often have a redeeming feature and even when they don't, they are at least funny, this guy was weak, cowardly, a little perverted but in a disgusting way, stupid (worst example, his reaction to her sister's calls), his first instinct was to run away from every possible situation, and on top of that he was batshit crazy, which could have been used to his favor if it was done like in soul eater, but they managed to fuck up even madness.

Then there are the other characters, but having quite a few of them in a 12 eps series that didn't even try to develop any of them made them all feel like parts of a lifeless scenario.

Sigh, not gonna write a review of this so I'll end it here, but honestly I can't recommend this to anyone.

Edit: Yes, Takumi just went Full;Retard

I love the mind-fked aspect of the anime and I'm really glad that the anime had a happy ending cause I was sure that Taku was gonna die at the end. Anyway I loved it and gave it a 9/10 XD

The first two episodes were quite good, but the way they slipped into the sci-fi & the other things with very little explanations made everything too complicated. I heard this anime was based off a VN, and plan on playing that someday. It's probably better.

I thought it was average anime series, although I really had to make myself watch the last episode.

The show was average, very good start. Rushed confused finish with a decent end. I think it gets a worse wrap than it deserves. Definitely if you watch it after Steins;Gate. I think people should try to view it as a separate entity completely. I understand it's hard to do as they are linked in a very small way.

Average, but entertaining. 7/10

The f**k did I just watch? In the end, I give it a 6/10. The beginning was really intriguing and interesting, and I felt myself relating to Takumi being a hikkikomori otaku who spends most of the time playing MMO's and watching anime and all =) I wish schools in America let students skip that much without being expelled or having the police called T_____T; I originally planned to play the game before watching the anime, but I couldn't get it to work, so I gave up and watched the anime. Now, after finishing the anime and hearing that the game is 10x more epic, I must play the game! o____o I will try a different torrent this time.

Overall, the anime by itself wasn't too bad, I think. I may rewatch it one day in the far future.

Quite a nice ending of this Anime, where we first started we now ended, the global plot of this Anime was quite interesting, I merely started watching this Anime because of Stein;Gate said this was an alternative setting, don't really get why they would put it up as alternative setting as it has no resemblance at all or am I getting the term wrong.

Either way this 12 episoded Anime was quite nice, I've finished this in one run and it was really something nice t o see and watch, the main plot is mostly in every episode present and there is enough back story that I like in Anime.

In general a great anime 9/10

And so it ends, leaving me a bit unsatisfied. Even though, the series had a quite interesting plot, some of the characters were good as well plus the music made it a good experience.

The ending was too shounen-ish for my taste, but the return to the scene where Rimi is close to kill Taku was really good. The overall 'mind fuck' mood during the episode made it really entertaining.

As I liked the series, I give it an overall 7/10. It lacked consistent plot, some of the characters were of the more generic kind and the foundation of the whole project seemed too unexplaineed.
On the other hand, the plot wasn't rushed all that much, the music was well-suiting the events in the anime and the rest of the characters had some interesting backgrounds. I especially liked Sena and Kishimoto.

Steins;Gate is a masterpiece and I didn't expect Chaos;Head to overthrow it, but I had some fun watching the series.

After Taku being such a wimp for 90% of the series, it was really hard watching him play the hero. I never bought into it. It may have worked if they built up to it with a gradual change.

The relatively upbeat ending felt incredibly out of place for the tone the series set early on. Overall, there were a lot of good ideas here, but I felt the execution was poor. I'll agree with rarri - the first six episodes were good, but after that notsomuch.
I couldn't have said it better myself.



I agree his hero mode was really rushed, but it was good everything just clicked for him and it made sense in that last 2 episodes about his entire existence, when 10 episodes before that he was the complete opposite.


Honestly, I really enjoyed this Anime I don't know why, it was a good happy ending, I like happy endings !

This anime made me appreciate the visual novel a lot more. There was absolutely no horror in this anime, which was one the visual novel's strongest points.


And they didn't even animate my favorite green delusion with Rimi in the store...

Well that episode felt really fast-paced. The last few episode seemed really strange and very dumb with such absurd delusions. The last battle was alright, it was nice to use psychology as a weapon. Once Takumi awoken, it was all over.
3/5.
As for the series, I liked it less and less as it progressed, even though it got progressively more interesting. It could be that it's such a strange series, almost like a serious series with magic involved, but this time they have giant swords that are actually only delusions. I also found the characters lacking depth, with quick stories or flashbacks that attempt to make some importance of the character. I also didn't like Takumi at all, he's so weak-willed, selfish, and hopeless. Just about the only thing I liked was the use of delusions and psychology as a device or weapon. I also did like that he was an otaku who lived in a freight container, only caring about playing his video game and watching anime.

this last episode was one big old hot mess. but to be honest, i sort of expected it to be a mess considering the dreadful pacing of the episodes beforehand, as well as some of the darker elements of the earlier episodes being sloughed off in favour of this "power of friendship" crap towards the end.

but, hey, at least it was a hot old mess i enjoyed the whole time. the pacing was awful, the direction was equally as awful and the ending made it look as if the writers had just given up at this point, but i loved every goddamn second of it.

sort of. i think.

edit: i retract the above. in retrospect, its awfulness had yet to truly sink in when i wrote this. it has now.

First 6 or 7 episodes were ok, the last ones not really. Specially, from the part that it is shown that Takumi doesn't really exist and is only a creation of Shogun.
Also, the ending gave me a kind of bittersweet feeling. Who does Rimi really loves the true Taku "Shogun" or Takumi. Depending on that, I think Takumi dying at the end would have been better.

I love the Characters, the Feeling when i watched the Series, the Story and the Complexitivity of Explanation of Events.

And i do so often think about: What is Reality?

I love then whole Series with CH, SG and RN. I hope that maybe an Anime comes out where all the Stories come together.

This got wrapped up way too quickly with a bow. All worked out in the end. I think with the complexities they tried to introduce and use as the theme, it needed a far more complicated ending.

I like the idea of the story, what is an illusion and what isn't, I like the MC because he was different. I gave this anime a higher rate because it had an "super special" ending, also I don't have any reasons to be mad because I don't know the difference between VN and anime. Maybe I will play the VN and enjoy it more since I've heard VN>anime.

This anime had it's 9/10 moments, it's 6/10 moments and it's 10/10 moments. Overall, since I have not played the game yet, I have to say this anime was pretty interesting and enjoyable for the most part. It appears that the anime didn't follow the game's atmosphere, and that would be a giant factor, to decrease my score but I will give this show a 8/10.
I might play this game with a walkthrough just to see how amazing everything was supposed to be.

Now, I'm off to see Steins;Gate!

Haven't watched this in over 2 years but was just thinking about it today, I thought I commented in this thread before but I guess not, anyways, I truly enjoyed the first half of the series when you didn't really know what was going on but around the time Di-sword element came into place the series shifted from psychologically/horror to more shounen/friendship powered action based the quality dropped big time.

Series had a lot of potential so it's from the beginning so it's still a 6-7ish at best even though it's a waste of time in the end if you try to take the ending seriously.

Seriously ... I don't know why you people hating this show so much.

For example the worst show I'v seen, which had no sense at all :
http://myanimelist.net/anime/21085/Witch_Craft_Works - has 7,5 score.

Almost every "neverending stories" like Naruto/One Piece/etc - which are piece of shit - has scores over 7,5

Many generic harem-based series for teenagers has scores over 7,5

I don't really understand this situation.

There is a genre change around ~7-8 episode, but it is that bad?? It was still very enjoyable!

Happy ending? Whether all endings have to be tragic in order to be marked as 'good' serie?
