This was a fairly good series overall, I thought, but this last episode was horrid... especially the animation quality. I was really surprised - it was pretty well drawn most of the way through but it seems like they completely shifted gears for the last one. Maybe they ran out of money? I don't think this bodes well for the next arc.

Agree, the animation for this episode were crap. Also got the feeling that it could've been better than it was.

I wonder what the story is behind the lapse in quality - that's just ridiculous. It looks like someone else handled the whole production.

An OK episode, but it felt largely unnecessary. It seemed like the whole thing was just building up to the end where someone says, "it's not over, we're going to keep fighting." Could have been done in 13 episodes, with that line and a couple other tiny things squeezed in elsewhere.

It definitely could have been condensed to 13 without any real loss, but I wouldn't have minded it if it weren't for the awful animation. Kinda ironic considering the entire episode exists to get people to watch the next season. "To inspire you to keep watching, we're going to turn this show to crap!"

The animation changed for the worse compared to previous eps, but still the ep itself was ok as a prelude to the next season.

Oh suddenly they add in a resolve? Really.. that was a terrible ending! >.>

Also, the animation was crap for this episode. It looked liked it was "hard lighted" as opposed to the other 13 episodes. The colors were all off. I dont know if that was the studio's problem or the subbers but it was terrible. The quality died after episode 13.
This is also the only series i know that ends at 14. ??????????????????
>.> this episode ruined the series for me X_X;

Gotto agree that was a truly terrible episode. It wasn't even the animation that bugged me, just the whole lack of everything let the entire series down. Nothing is really explained still and there doesn't really seem to be a solid platform that the series builds on. They have good and evil but we don't really know who the evil is because they just killed the evil guy but apparently he was possessed by something more evil. Also we hardly know the good guys either, I was waiting for the last episode to maybe give some more characterization. Sure it's confirmed that Hiyuu is extremely cute and Aoi is a drama queen but apart from that I know nothing of the rest of the characters.

It's a shame to say that up to episode 13 I only like the series on it's aesthetic quality, nothing else (except maybe Hiyuu cuteness).

Oh yea the character development of this series is weak x__X its nice action but no explaining. The only explaination i saw was when the old guy was explaining the budivasiva's eye ( sp?)
I think that if they spread it out to 26 episodes originally then it might be a better series.. especially if they got the character dev in and had more suspense going. O_O

Yeah I think it would've fit better if they ended on episode 13? The animation of the last episode was really bad ><, wonder what happened, oh well hopefully the next arc will fix that up ^^

I saw the anime on DVD, so I didn't get this episode with the "hard light" that everyone is talking about (that was a fault of the fansub's video transition, from what I've read). I didn't see anything wrong with the rest of the artwork, either, so nothing was ruined for me visually.

I think this episode did what it was supposed to do: bring closure to the Kodzunu storyline of season one, and offer cliffhangers for season two. I think it did just that, as well as added closure for Kisaragi's personal struggle - although I would have liked to seen this dealt with more. And I was sad for Tendou!

Personally, I loved Tokyo Majin overall. I would have liked to see the characters' plots fleshed out more, and I really didn't want Tendou to go - there was a lot more they could have done with his character, especially in regards to his vendetta against Tatsuma. I was hoping for some animation on the Bakumatsu time period, and have more episodes featuring flashbacks of Tenkai Kodzunu and Tatsuto Hiyuu. That was fascinating to me!

Bosatsu-gan (Bodhisattva Eye) ^_~

I think there is some suspense in no explaining, and the thought of not knowing. I believe there can be a thing as TOO much detail, and that can kill a lot of the interesting, appealing qualities to a character. But I didn't think there was THAT much missing from the character developments here; I think they were just shown and discarded too quickly. *shrugs*

Depressive. This episode made me realise I dislike retard girls like Misato Aoi VERY deeply. I swear that her existence made me give the whole series a lower rate, especially in this episode where she's even more annoying than ever.
90% of Anime is shit, but then, 90% of everything is shit.

Not bad series. A bit lacking originality in the plot, but still not bad. I`ve seen worse. I wonder why it has so undeservedly low rank here...

Ugh. Wasn't a fan of the series. The characters were less than averagely entertaining, 90% of the dialogue was cheesy, that what's his name delinquent was annoying as all hell. Only borderline good character was the teach, which is saying something since she barely had any scenes.

People complaining about the animation like it hasn't been like this for most of the series.

Meh ending but I guess I have to watch the sequel now. At any rate, this was pretty boring. The fights were bad, the characters are boring and the plot is lame. If I wasn't such a NEET, I wouldn't even bother with this show.
