Meh, this finale just felt weird.

The battle/action itself was short and ofc Riku wasn't actually going to die from it. Not to mention, his opponent showed an unlikely weakness to cute things. What the hell?

As for the show itself, I think the buildup towards this was just bad overall.
I heard this show is getting a second season around January 2018 as well.

The dragon part was cool but everything else felt pretty underwhelming

This series wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be though and even though I didn't like it THAT much, it still had its moments.....I wouldn't mind watching another season

5/10

I am not going to spend time writing a review, the ending was average, the series never devolped a story all was like an introduction. Seems that we need to wait until 2018 to see the real story.

The dragon transformation was nice I guess. So Suigin's team wins and the other dude gets his money, okay.

The series started out decent with Suigin and Riku Rei's interactions and stuff but then it just sorta faltered along the way to the point I didn't know what it was trying to do anymore. The stuff that happened felt kinda random and what not but I guess it was a decent enough watch. Till the end we never knew what the intro scene was all about, you know the one with Suigin fighting against all those skeletons in a mausoleum kinda place.

This was average 5/10 for me.

Guess we'll have to wait for a second season to find out more.

I agree with y'all so far. The ending fell flat. It really needed a bit more peril and then a big "To Be Continued" announcement. Not how you end a season.

The only best part about this episode is the Twin-Headed Jade Dragon. I didn't care about anything else. Suigin's team wins and the boy gets the money. This show was all over the place.

For me the biggest problem was that I dont think creators knew what pacing or how to time manage. For example none of the episodes even had a good closure like cliffhanger sort of so I NEVER was looking forward to next episode. How game got to become a reality was confusing and i never understood that.
Then we get to see all those new charcaters OUT OF NOWHERE. There are all those new characters and we spend a chunk of time on them while they turned out to be useless. IN the second half we didnt even get to spend much time on our main character Suigin. he was shown here and there but its mostly those new characters that got the screentime.

So yeah the direction was really horrible i felt. Also Riku Rei gets shown here and there but thats about it. Sometimes she is in her underwear on someone's bed. Then the next scene is her with some other guys that looks like her team or something. I didnt understand at all what happened to her. and what pissed me off the most are those 2 last episodes. Not only we didnt get to see Riku Rei (the other main character) and a character around whom the story should resolve. He is trying to save her and there was zero progression towards it in last 2 episodes. It honestly looks like authors even forgot about it :D

Then we also get a new charcter introduction and his backstory and that is in our ep 11 :D like wtf. Come on dont introduce new characters like that... Sure those 2 episodes didnt suck. but as LAST episodes they suck a lot. IF they were somewhere in the middle like ep 7-8 or something then yeah those episodes are great. But putting them as last 2 is just retarded.

I honestly dont know that creators even knew that its their last episodes or that they only get 12 eps in this season xD
Anyway we got an announcement of season 2 so I hope they will improve all their flaws with the direction especially and show us some goodness :D honestly GLAD that it gets a second season cause right now it has that sour taste that its incomplete but with perhaps second season that feeling will go away.
3/10 :( my LOWEST score this season. Feelsbad.

I honestly think that this could have been better than it should... the second half or somewhere around there is where it became kind of messy but I still enjoyed it. I hope the second season does fix the issues that this one has though to be fair.

Overall it was an okay watch. Nothing too special but at the same time its not anything particularly shit. 6/10 in my end.

I agree with many of the comments here. I question whether another season is worth it considering the story didn't move forward at all. Seriously, can a familiar really call its master hopeless when it's their fault their master is still an amateur? How long is the MC going to hold off completing the beginner's course? Will he ever complete the beginner's course? I'm going to guess that's all there is to look forward to in the next season. I can't help but think this story wasn't created with adaption in mind. Of course, it's also possible it was horribly adapted.

It was a good episode...but for a final episode it just felt off like there is a new episode coming next week but there isn't so...I'm confused. I sure hope there is a second season because this anime has potential and the concept is interesting so we'll see what happens

I wasn'tt expecting this season closure, and although this show is a little bit bit.. above the average, I found it acceptable in the emotional moments it had, in my case I got to like it, it will be expected the continuation since it still needs the resolution of this story.

can't score this until the second part, yet.

I hope they correct the mistakes of the first season, for the second season. Suigin did not practically evade anything, the episodes before he entered the game were the only ones that really made the story progress. Worse were the two episodes spent on those pseudo villains, though one of them showed more than likely the first villain. But it was nice to see the Twin Star turn into a dragon.

what the actual f**k is happening in this show?

first ep hes fighting in the "game" or whatever it is for that girl so i guess that's how it's all gonna play out (somehow ?)

then the show spends like 8 episodes to even get him into the game and then he gets his ass kicked by some girl but he doesnt lose any money?

but then he for no reason what so ever joins some tournament randomly??

what the f**k? am i missing something? this show has been confusing ever since he entered the game and it feels like its a whole different show then what it was building up to.
What. The. F**k.

Gin no Guardian had some fun moments, but the story fell short for me. I was waiting for Suigin to become somewhat useful, but it never happened. It would be a 5-6 out of 10 for me, but the songs were great and the neko was pretty cute, so I am giving it a 7...

What even was this series? Two minutes before the last episode ended, I realised that it was actually going nowhere. Haoliners may have improved their animation, but the storyline and the characters were once again far from being at least mediocre. I mean, was that even an ending? What kind of last episode was that? So disappointing...

Overall: 4

Too bad this average series had, imo, an amazing op and ed. Had they been on a more well known show I know they would've gotten the recognition they deserve

That was it? The episodes were just random to the point of being stand alone. The best thing about the show was the ending song.

Gets a 4/10, this was just a bad show even being only 15 minute episodes.

Ayaya this anime lacked so many things, anyway I still have not seen Suigin's power yet. He does not impress me so far, i will hope to see him shine in the next season.

These last two episodes were useless, imo. We never seen this guy and we didn't learn why Suigin wanted to meet the tournament commentator.

I liked this anime especially the first 10 episodes and I hope that the second season will continue the main story.

The Ending song is so great, one of the best of the season.

Man, I think this anime in the next season was actually can be a good story.

just think, what anime that the MC took a lessons just for a game, this anime needed at least 4 seasons to get an end, first Suigin must fight another Collector, then save Rei from Temujin, and he must beat the Precious Company. In the beginning we see that Suigin make a badass anime intro, that should be the ending, where he wanted to see Rei again that he can't, due to his job as a Collectors.

idk if this anime had a manga or light novel adaptation

I just watched all the episodes. One they are to short. If you take out the opening & ending you have about 10 minutes per episodes. The beginning shows you he saved Rei. I like the show but for a ten minute show there are way to many characters, no time for all of them. From my understanding Rei is the Collector and Suigin has to snap her out of it. Again from the first episode he does some how and this is the story of how.

if you never read the manga. the show mostly showing fills at the start.in the manga she just gets taken. also she was kidnapped. so no she's not with them. and season 2 will only be getting into the basic. manga up to 188? and really how much do you think you'll get from 10 min show. min the opening and closer.

OK, but as an anime viewer only, these two episodes were not the best. If this guy helps Suigin later, it's nice and I hope we will see him again in the second season (not only in the manga).

few things that are in the anime. arnt in the manga. i think season 2 may be about building his team. but I don't see him fighting the main bad guy in 12 more episodes. but you never know.

Just be honest, this is the most stupid anime I've ever watch, the storyline is unclear, no character development, too much plot hole, Mc is so naive and kinda edgy and nerd. I can't believe it, wasting my time for this, damn. Don't wast your time for this, even ex-arm is still better.

So this is all kind of extremely "quaint" in respect.

Which has kept me engaged through even episode two of season two.
As of writing.

Ill have to be clear though. This is one wild MMO mess that only seems more and more faithful. To the MMO scene that existed largely prior to my own ability to tactilely function in that extent.

Ie prior to my birth. Or at the very least ability to recognize such nonsensical game theory by nature of not being able to recognize any worldly counterpart.

I know these types of ridiculousness actually did... Exist.
I know I was technically... "Alive". For *some* of the famous examples.

Including some excapades with crime. That I feel strongly a notion of reference to. Within this works plot points.

Similar to gags in cartoons and foreign works on US politics. A few things here or there seem to be cultural throwbacks to tumultuous times long since past society as a whole. Things that were extant at different times here domestically from foreign lands adoption, and encounterance of their growing pains abroad.

Which makes this work kind of unique to me.
Its interesting to see and kind of work through what everything is on about. When there is obviously some sort of underlying societal commentary within a gag source (at least thats what it appears to be) of a foreign context.
