----------------------------------------
Well the fighting continues which I'm not surprised at. Kinda wish Nai could of done much more though...*sigh*.

I'm not too surprised at Nai meeting Karoku again. It's about damn time anyways. Well Gareki is still cool as ever imo.

No OP.

Awww, crying Gareki! Explosion and they survived. Talking about time slip and with shocking face... Is that lady monster supposed to be Jiki's mother or something? I hope it's just my wrongly thought.

Kind of passing what I thought it would be animated from the manga. lol @ that Gareki thinking about the future part (more with the reaction of the three of them). But that was a nice place to end the series.

Hope to see the story after that animated (kind of did after the ED with Karoku waking up).

Sales have dropped a lot it seems. Went from like 8k BD/DVD Total for 1st volume to like...

1/3 the sales. Still want a second season though.

OT: Great season. I actually enjoyed it and had some laughs here and there. The animation was nicely done and I'm glad to see one of my fav manga adaptations be done. Hoping for a S2 sometime in the future~

So, as someone who hasn't read the manga or whatever the original source is, how much of this was actually a solid adaptation and how much was anime only wrapping up?

Like 100% true to its story. It's also ended at like chapter 36 and there's 60 chapters?

I'm so glad that one of my favorite manga got such a good adaptation. Hirato and Yogi were perfect.

Loved how the anime turned out, hoping for a second season.

That was a pretty decent end, the anime was pretty much loyal to the manga with very minimal changes. Some parts have pacing issues but other than that it was a good adaptation. I didn't like Hiro Shimono as Nai but I've gotten used to it ^^; it was an enjoyable run! I'm hoping for a 2nd season 9/10 for me (might be quite high but I rate my anime based on enjoyment)

Well there might be a 2nd season but well see i liked it. They might not do it for awhile because the manga needs to keep going until its far enough that it might but not for sure but i give it 8/10

I originally only started watching this for the bishounens, but I was seriously surprised at how much I liked this anime. Plus, STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS WHO AREN'T ANNOYING!
I loved all the characters and thought they were well developed, and although the plot wasn't too deep, I still enjoyed it a lot. 9/10 for me. I'm probably going to pick up the manga, and I'm hoping for a season 2.

I think it's highly probable that they will have another season, although I haven't read the manga yet so I don't know.
The anime, I thought, was really good (especially the art and the OP/ED) and the characters are really cool :p

Aww so heartwarming at the end when they were saying good bye to Gareki, even though he was coming back lol. Hirato you smart one. I love how Yogi gives Gareki one of his Nyanperona and tells him to talk to the plushy as if it were Yogi, and the deformed Niji plushy that Tsukumo and Nai made was also cute. Overall, the anime adaptation was really faithful to the manga, and no original ending, so yay :D Second season please?

Also, when Gareki was talking with Hirato, that part was pretty funny. Gareki loves to shout, and Hirato's just like, "What're you getting all worked up for? I've been patiently listening." Chill as always.

Really liked how they summed up the last episode.
PITY WE DIDNT GET TO SEE AKARI'S SLEEPING FACE.
I'm hoping for a Season 2 tbh.

Anyways, if you wanna pick up the manga, this last episode ended near the end of Ch 37 (first chapter to Volume 7 -- so I suggest you start from Volume 7 or Volume 6) :)

I enjoyed the anime even though there were some changes from the manga and the adaption was faster than I would have liked to be.

I hope there is going to be a season 2 soon ^__^

Tsundere Gareki and I surprisingly liked it. Looks like the series is back but it is too late! Nonetheless, I am interested enough to watch the 2nd season. It was good for most of part but still boring. Last two episodes along with the first two were a winner. Didn't quite like the mid.

"Tsukumo" and "strong" in one sentence feels like an oxymoron. I was hoping that she would actually die, she is so useless when it comes to anything other than standing there and looking pretty. Kiichi on the other hand is okay in terms of fighting, but her egomaniacal attitude made me cringe everytime she opened her mouth. Only Iva is awesome, too bad she had so little screen time.

As for the series itself... it was okay and nothing more. I will probably watch the second series if the sales make it happen, but overally Karneval is pretty mediocre. Fun little series to watch after a tiresome day and then forget about it quickly.

Which sounds better: Yoreki or Garegi?

I guess this is a nice way to end it: Gareki going to school with Nyanperona Plush and Niji Stuffed Toy.

I love Tsukumo!

Horrible pacing didn't even hint at later events where those two arn't usless like in the manga later on...6/10 honestly if they want me to watch a S2 it will need to be a hell of alot better than this. I mean yeah it had its good momments, but this is like watching a superhero show where the main MC's get stomped bi weekly and the sidekicks run the show.

A rather heartwarming end to the season. Well, to be honest I was quite skeptical about watching Karneval af first but it proved to be a great watch. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this.

Oh, my gosh I know. Almost every anime I watch has annoying girls!! It makes me so mad, but this anime made me proud the girls were solid and useful :)

I love Karneval<3

And wanted Gareki to get a bracelet so bad and have badass powers too....what's this about "gathering credentials" first? Is he going the researcher route?

Im so sad its over i was just starting to like all the story!

I think it was an okay anime the characters were great ( even though nia was a little 'absorbed' in his concern for karuko he dosent bother me as much as before.)

The ending was SO CUTE!
for once i actually liked the ending and ill probably pick up on the manga too, this seems like this its finally getting good

Ps-am i the only one who thinks garkei and hirato look kinda alike? maybe its the hair?
