| btw, I just remembered what the cut-off and too quick ending reminded me of : o I remember Chobits having a similair ending, although not due to content or story, but since it seemed like it should've been longer. there it was like.. at ep 18/26, everything suddenly speeded up about a billion times and everything ended and concluded everything O.o at least that's how I felt about Chrome Shelled Regios, and Chobits : p so I reeaaaaally hope there's gonna be a season 2 : D |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| I thought this episode was one of the better ones, i liked the scene when Layfon combined his Katana with the heaven's blade and killed the filth monster, the pacing was not too great and i am expecting a 2nd season because this seems more of an intro for the characters and the general plot which is probably the other world of "Ignasis" as well as the queen's motives and etc.. I give it an 8/10 since i really liked some of the scenes (Layfon VS mercenary / Felli Layfon moments.. etc |
formosan said: No, I think the characters powered up. Layfon was mostly restricted by his self-blame, and he's lightened up. Leerin is revealed to be some important guy's daughter with a magic right eye. Goth chick Saya did magic stuff. Nina has learned a valuable lesson about the injuries that result from harboring magic goats. : None of these are power ups. Leerin had this power previous to anything that was presently going on in the show. The same goes for Saya. What is said for Layfon is character development, and since we don't really see the aftermath of this episode, I'd be hard pressed to say it's development since we don't know if it sticks at all. And I'm going to assume what you said about Nina was a joke ;p |
| just rewatched it (yeah I know, why the hell did I do that?) and wow, it's just too horrible. I'm almost hoping there won't be a second season, another season filled with Gayfon screaming "Taichou" would seriously make my brain explode. No, this entire show was just a tease, some people wanted FellixLayfon but that never happened, and personally the katana was my only motivation to keep watching this anime towards the end, and what did we get? a surfing Layfon. Time well spent guys, time well spent. |
 |
| I'd like a second season but if there is one I'll remember to avoid here. Felli as a character is rather over rated and seeing people drool over her is rather annoying. Not the best series but it was a good watch. I'll keep an eye out for more. |
| Sorry. Way too many holes in this one. They didn't bother explaining anything. This had great potential in the first 5 episodes, but they would start w/ something, then discontinue whatever was started. And that, unfortunately, was what ep 6 -22 was about. The biggest storyline would be the whole deal with the Dying slave and all, and that was only revealed at the last episode. Even the whole plot with Nina and the berserk spirit, we were being led to the conclusion, and what do we get? A Savaris who obtains it and then flies off in defeat from his own reflected blast. What kind of ending to an arc is that? Overall, I think it had great potential, but just failed. 6/10 from me. |
| ^ I don't know if you are saying this for real. "one of the best anime that half year"? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| it was quite good anime so i will give it 8/10. and about defeating savaris with one hit, to me it more look like saya defeated savaris not laifon. saya is probably creator of heavens blades and give those weapons thair power, since it's too much power for only one human to have complite power of spirit, like savaris wanted to have and saya is probably one of the strongest of it's own kind. but even trought every one only have part of spirits power, they still have to have monsterius power in order to control and use power of weapons + thair own monsterius power. look like saya is still doing her job from past, supplaying and holding her partner weapons. surfing was one of bad points but they had to made laifon able to reach monster. |
| Layfon could have teleported. He did something like that earlier in the show. Some wind move or some such. |
| you probably mean encharted agility, but that was only useful for short distance and it's not faster than surfing. |
| Ah so it was finished. There were many loopholes but the show was still enjoyable watch particularly the first half. The ending was somewhat rush and is hinting for continuation. I always like the leitmotif (in this ep it was from 9:34-10:00 min) so I can't bring down my rating since from the start - 8/10 (rating due mostly to enjoyment). I was glad Felli did another laughable remark towards the end. |

| And I finally got to the end and well, it sucked. Well, more like subpar. On one hand I don't know why I watched it 'til the end, and on the other I'm not that disappointed because I never spent more than 10 minutes watching any episode. A solid 5/10 for me (maybe lower? I would need to actually watch full episodes to judge) |
AeonsLegend said: My take on that is that if it's terrible but still manages to be somewhat entertaining, I'll finish it so my argument on why the series sucks holds some ground. If there are absolutely no redeeming values and it hurts to watch it, it gets dropped and I don't bitch about it.Wait you sit through an entire show and you rate it 3/10? "Normal" people drop a show which they dislike early on. You just told us you spent 24*25min=10hours on something you really, really hate. Regios is almost in a different category because it's just so bad. There were virtually no redeeming values, but seeing how little sense one episode could make and laughing at Ayako's terrible TL/English actually got to be fun. Anyways, this gets a 2/10 from me: One point for Layfon's seiyuu ~ OI KORA URUSEEEE de gozaru and one automatic point for being just a little bit less horrible than Code Geass R2. |
windy said: So you will watch an anime you dislike (a rating of 3 or 2 means it's terrible, not enjoyable) so you can talk about it? I really don't see the merit in that, but if you feel you should enduldge yourself in things you don't like it's totally up to you.AeonsLegend said: My take on that is that if it's terrible but still manages to be somewhat entertaining, I'll finish it so my argument on why the series sucks holds some ground.

| I don't think it hurts to watch something you think it is bad but it would be hurts to watch something that you never want to see. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Especially when you're seeing a show that had a few good ideas and then turned into everything cliche and wrong about anime in general. |
| Well, as you said, this show did hurt me a little, just a little but no more since I stopped to have any expectation from it at some point during the first half. Everything that you expected from this show is always go "Oh well..." or "That's it?" |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| It's a shame this last episode was such a rush.. But I've enjoyed this series, I think it was great. ;D Can't wait 'till the 2nd season! |
AeonsLegend said: Well, like I said, in Regios' case, it actually got to be fun. I don't torture myself with anime that are terrible as well as a chore to watch, like the anime in my dropped list.windy said: So you will watch an anime you dislike (a rating of 3 or 2 means it's terrible, not enjoyable) so you can talk about it?

| Hmm i liked this episode, especially with the fusion of the two blades ^^ We get to see how powerful Layfon is, and also how powerful the heavens blades are. Wee im hoping for a season 2, it was my favourite anime of last year behind Gundam 00 ^^ |
     |
| Some huge errors were committed in this show, but the I loved to watch it! 7/10. |
 |
| Started good, kept on track with the novels throughout which made the show good. But then took a left turn to wtfville and ended with we'll continue from here, maybe. One of the things I find funny is Leerin made the trip to deliver the katana to Layfon, but the katana has far we know ended back on Grendan... As far as the romance ending, blah I could really care less. If I was Layfon I would keep them all, because they all have their uses. Nina, combat... Felli, intel... Mei, food... Leerin, accountant...Win, win wherever he may turn, plus all but 1 have a nice chesticles... |
| @ above : felli absolutely...^^ what makes this episode better : the last scene, where felli is copying layfon's words... hahaha... |
 |
ChronosXIII said: Well that sucked...I thought Savaris would put up more of a fight, but no, Layfon goes into his usual uber haxorness and combines the Psyharden katana with his heaven's blade and goes holyshitwtf on Savaris...and that surfboard was wtf? They have to make a second season. There's just too many loose ends, the main one being the wolf gang and Ignis and whatever. Actually he spanked Savaris before the tranformerwannbecombination, and that was more Saya then Layfon. If not for her he'd be filth monster food... |
allaboutNinjas said: I think that somebody seems to be an attention-whore and making a great fuss being proud of giving low notes for this anime. If you can waste about 10 hours for an anime you hate, then you should really do something about your life. And don't give us all the crap about "it was enjoyable and that's why I gave it 2/3". To me, it would have to be about gay lollipops raping dead dogs with awful art to not give any credit to the creator by giving such a low note. Yeah, I don't get it too.. If I don't like it or it doesn't bother me I drop it, same for something bad. Ans there are lots of questions unanswered, so they must make a 2nd season, they just have too.. :') |
| The novels are ongoing, so this is really far from being over. This series seems to use too many mysterious terminology , such as the Dream of Ignasis, Aurora Field, etc.... This series deals with too much infos and the universe is too complicated. They weren't able to explain it at all..... Still entertaining, so an average score of 8 for me.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Its always a pity when a good show gets a rushed ending. There was too much Savaris Screentime : ) I was some kind of disappointed that he turns into a laughing idiot in this ep The Felli Layfon sene was fun, but I didnt get the true meaning  A:Was Felli glad that Layfon survived? B:had she read his mind and knew what he wants to say o Leerin? |

| So many things left unexplained.. All the good parts missing.. This is a happy ending but... Perhaps, its not really a happy ending. Why does Felli-senpai had to act like a tsundere all the time? Nakahara-san usually don't voice tsundere characters... |
 |
| I agree. Too many things left unexplained. The last episode didn't tie up any loose ends. Actually, none of the episodes answered any questions. Each episode just added more and more questions. I can't say I know any more than when I first started watching the series. Good premise. Bad storytelling. |
 |
| Actually it was not a big burden to watch, I was waiting for every new episode to be released with big hopes but in the end, there was not that much of a solid thing happening at every episode. 24th was the only one I actually liked, even tough some fighting scenes which should have lasted longer ended in 20 seconds each, it still had action. Rest of episodes had a little bit of everything; drama, comedy, action and it was not creating a really good effect at all. Thus, 7/10 for Koukaku no Regios. |
 |
| I for one hope that there won't be a second season. Sure, I'd love to understand what's going on and all but not at the expense of having to watch another 24 episodes of pointless crap that always ends up unresolved. - Why was he surfing on his blade? - How was he able to combine blades? Shouldn't a Heaven's Blade be able to function properly on its own? If it's such a powerful and honorable blade, you shouldn't be able to tweak with it. - Why is Nina still alive? Or rather, why is she able to function properly? - Was I the only one who was caught off guard when she called out that guy's name? Dick. I didn't even know that was his name. How did she? And why was it so random? - Masked people? They appear and remain stubbornly but suddenly, they just disappear? - Why does it take so many Heaven's Blade users to take down one filth monster when it only took Layfon himself to take down the same being? - If Layfon could surf on his sword, why didn't he do it right when the filth monster flew past him so that he could have gotten to it quicker? - How was Savaris able to get the goat when Nina had to be hit directly? She didn't because didn't Layfon protect her from Savaris' attack? And even if she was hit directly, shouldn't she have died? Or at least be unconscious and unable to talk? - If Savaris is also a Heaven's Blade user, coupled with the golden goat, shouldn't it take more to knock him out, much less knock him so far away? More questions. Plenty more. But I'll stop here, since my score would only continue to drop from here. 5/10 is already showing mercy. I was actually looking forward to this series and had high hopes for it. |
 |
reaght said: 3/10 probably the most random anime i've ever seen It was random, it rushed the ending... but a 3? Come on, honestly, a 3? |
|
| So many unanswered questioned and plot twisted that were never delved in to beyond starting. The end fights were pretty anti-climatic too for the reasons mentioned. I liked the sword/weapon fighting in this show and just devolving to throwing energy balls and turning in to energy balls was kind of a let down. For all the work he goes to getting that sword, it acts just like every other weapon he had and he gives it up like 10 minutes after getting it. This is even more strange because the queen talks about saya choosing him, presumably having something to do with the sword, which he then gives up. I wasn't a big nina fan and found her annoying generally so i was kind of happy when she got thrown in the back seat the last few episodes, only being there to be a host of that one spirit. I gave it a 7 because i really liked the overall idea, some of the plot (the heaven's blade stuff was really cool, but sadly they didn't go in to it much), the fighting and about the first half of the series. It was disappointing though and i feel they kind of botched a great idea by throwing up tons of new plot directions every episode which were never answered, not going in to heaven's blade users much and not having a coherent plot direction planned out in advance (it felt like the story was going this way and that, almost as if the writer couldn't decide what he wanted to do with it). I'd love to watch a second season that answers a lot of the questions brought up and goes more in to what layfon being a heaven's blade user means. |
| There was truly quite a lot of "WTF's" in the ending. Though it ended just like I expected. The battles was rather poorly made. I mean like "WOW! Two guys clashing swords with each other and screams "GRRRR" at each other?" The most WTF thing for me was the "Fon Fon's" and Nina's relationship. It can be separated in following parts. 1) COOL! He is really fast, I want him to join our squad. 2) What a let down. 3) WTF? He is so much stronger then I anticipated. 4) Crap, am so weak. 5) I just let him do all the work. 6) Shait, I worked up too much fame on his account, but am still a 0. 7) Do I love that guy or hate him really badly? 8) For some unknown reason I feel like wondering in the desert. Also, wtf? Did not Fon Fon said that he was an orphan at some point in the beginning? Also, WTF? Is Fon fon and Leerin siblings or not? Still, the best scenes of this anime was when Felli was knee kicking people. |

reaper_unique said: second season is pretty much a given. novel is far ahead of the anime and is still ongoing. It's just a matter of when. epic show was epic. I guess it isn't such a bad thing Layfon stayed in Zuellni it would have been harder to make a second season out of that. at least he can rest asured that he will stay the one and only user of the heavens blade :p So the light novels are far ahead from anime? Thanks! U gimme hope for the 2nd season because this season is awesome but unfinished. :) |
| Well, I've discovered that this anime only covers light novel volume 1-8 so there's likely high chance for the 2nd season since there's already 14 volumes of light novel and it's still continuing. |
| so many plot holes and unanswered questions.... It did entertain me quite a bit though, Layfon is a rather cool main character when's he's serious, leveling Cloud Strife IMO. 6/10, may increase to 7/10 if there's a strong second season with answers. But it's impossible to get higher. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Wow that show how OP Layfon is when Savaris is a heaven blade user himself plus he got a power up from that goat...! Also i took so many heaven blade users to kill that one filth monster and just layfon for the other. Other than that a decent anime. Layfon x Felli all the way! |
 |
| One of worst end I've ever seen: everything (or nothing in this case) rushed in 2mins... |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOO i cant believe its finally over. this show is one of the best anime i have seen so far. im also sad because im 99% sure that there isnt going to be a second season. i hate it when good anime only goes up to 1 season. they should make more ideas so there will be more to go on in the story. overall i give it a 20/10 cause it was that good. |
