| The last bout between Necronomico and Tick Tock Man to save or destroy humanity, with the latter evolved into a kaiju, the last game/stage hangs in the balance. Against the evolved kaiju Nyarla, Miko having Cthulhu to even out Azathoth's game with the many iterations of the Neo Geo controller joystick powering through the very setting that's exactly the premise of SNK's King of the Monsters game, it's truly a fight to the very end being the only player holding the hopes of humanity in her gamer hands, alongside Kanna who gives her a helping hand, alongside Kei with the Elder Hand thereafter. All Hunter Joe was here for, is the total act to mobilize all exorcists like a head onmyoji to subdue Tick Tock Man, which he and Kei did the aid alright since their day off, signalling the win to humanity and restoring Earth as it'd been before their arrival. Even Mayu waking up from her slumber, and the world reverts back to normal, not without the same group of players living the same lives as it had been, as much as Kei's time at Megalox is only beginning, and both Miko and Mayu are back to having fun livestreaming together again. Honestly, quite a rushed ending for an original series. A decent attempt by CyGames, but this is clearly no Apocalypse Hotel (from last season). |

| The finale battle was OK except it seemed super rushed. This was an decent enough series. |
| So, was this really yuri like I speculated during the first episode or did people put something in GL stacks based on shipping again? Just don't tell me that it's actually because of Cthulhu and not the main characters... |

| If there was a kiss I would have given it a 10, but it's a 9 and that's thanks to the last episode, so it would have been a 7, but overall the characters are interesting, although some are not fully developed, Mayuu is a cutie, both in human form and with Cthulhu, and yes, the meme didn't happen, the hunter turned out to be useful, as a Cthugha, with Kei she had a special atmosphere. |

| @RobertBobert No, but yes, considering Mayu's behavior and her influence when she was under Cthulhu's control and the kiss, it's yuri, although there was no kiss at the end, they just held hands. |

| @ShiroAlex So, as I understand it, in the end its turned into a regular original female-focused show with some yuri bait at certain moments (which will later be quickly forgotten) to raise the hype? |

| @RobertBobert I wouldn't say that it's completely forgotten, but I would like more, because for example I won't criticize people who think this is a show with some yuri bait, although I think a little differently, because their backstory is told, the behavior of one of the personalities speaks far from friendly feelings, but here there would be another episode for such a crumpled ending. |

| @ShiroAlex I can't say anything objectively, since I've only watched the first episode so far and want to finish the whole show in one go when I have some free time. But on the surface, the last episode seemed like everyone suddenly became friends again "and the adventure continues" without any hint of romance or anything. It's like the show just went back to the status quo of the first episode, but in a more positive way. Well, maybe there was a hint of a sequel, but maybe that's a subtle advertisement for some game based on it. I checked Japanese Wikipedia and it's silent, just calling Miya MC's streaming partner and her childhood friend. But again, trying to find some info without watching the show itself is a thankless task. Because I need context to start talking about something. |

Overall I really liked it. It was a very original concept, I liked the characters and even the stylized animation and I don't think it deserves the hate it got because of the issue with the subtiles in the first episode. The one thing I don't like about the ending is that all of a sudden Miko is all buddy-buddy with Eita. Even if her winning the game means she erased everything he did IN THE GAME, that still doesn't erase the fact that he is a psychopath who MURDERED someone in real life.
| @Kali_85 From their dialogue it is clear that this was also corrected and there was no murder as a result. |
| Am I reading too much into it, or did the Ctugha and Cthulu survive in the bodies they initially possessed? |

| @thewiru If you mean Miyu's line at the end, then probably. |
|
| Well that was an ending LOL. I feel that it could have been something more if they toned down the color and upped the horror elements. It isn't like anime can't do some genuine horror. In the end I feel the reason it hasn't had much success is because fans of the Cthulhu Mythos must have been disappointed (I know I was), horror enthusiasts are going to be put off by the visuals and the lame game elements and everyone else was probably like- WTF? |

| @RobertBobert For some reference point it is less yuri than Watanare airing this season, and arguably more yuri than Bad Girl though I would say that is because the nature of death game plots. You are on the right track when it comes to its ending being ehh, but that is also because of the nature of death game related plots, it is hard to wrap up well. |

| @six20 I haven't seen Bad Girl, but from what I've heard about the manga, it's one of those yuri bait stories where you're seems to following a straight-up yuri, but for some reason none of the characters call things by their proper names (classic approach from Manga Time Kirara during the Comics Girls era). Anyway, I'll try to watch it before October and give my opinion. I'm a lifelong Lovecraft geek, but from what I understand, it's more of an homage than an actual Cthulhu setting. |

| Well, this anime didn't deserve the hate from its starting episode and on his globality, he was cool to watch and I took a good time on watching it but this "friendly always win" ending is maybe too "lazy" but the worst part of this is maybe that : It was sooooooo predictable! When this anime starts I say to myself "okay the end is gonna be a game for the life of all the players" and yeah, of course that's it! |
 |
| For what it's worth, Nakanohito Genome, while also pretty bad, was still miles better than this. Here we got a few interesting ideas and dozens of stupid ones. 3/10. |
| I wanted to see the other streamers whose bodies were stolen/copied by the Great Old Ones. Like who were Hastur and Bird-Head-Guy's bodies based on and what kind of streamers are they? Uhh overall this show was pretty mid, I liked the premise but the characters and even the games they played were really simple and flat. Miko started to annoy me with how she was angry and screaming all the time and repeating the same insults etc. The Old Ones themselves were the most entertaining part of the show. |
| In the end, they won the game and all dead player got back alive again :) |
