| First 25 minutes was a recap and then there was something which only the team which is behind this story can explain. Maybe they should have concluded the show without this special |
 |
| The optimist last moments that felt jarring and randomly tacked-on when Ai had seemingly abandoned her friends and everything felt really gloomy. |
| - Just casually announced that Neiru is an AI with little to no build up or reaction. - Apparently parallel worlds have an affect outside of wonder egg dreams and you can just take people from worlds. No explanation about it. - The whole show was building up towards reviving the girls’ respective people and they just quickly brush off them not remembering anything. - That one Ai walking animation. - Time travel or something? Unless I missed it, there’s no explanation about what exactly happened to them. This episode really just adds more questions than it answers and lacks impact. I’m pretty sure this is a build up towards a second season, but even then, there’s so much going wrong for it. There’s just too much information trying to be dropped all at once. If they made full use of the 2 episode time rather than making half of it a recap, or just slowed down the pacing and not release so much info in so little time, maybe it would’ve been better. |
| how our unanswered questions from the last season, left unanswered and instead we got even More unanswered questions from this. what a joke |
| 80% of the episode was recap. The entire ending was very undeveloped and unsolved. They only give us a tiny clue about what happened to the characters. Very nice anime but very bad ending. |
 |
| What disappointed me the most is Aniplex treating Cloverworks like garbage. |
 |
| The thing that disappoints me most is the story was literally better off without having this ending. Yeah, episode 12 ended with a lot of things unanswered but this special answered none of those things and instead just raised more questions. And anything it did answer it gave a really halfassed or poorly thought out reason for. Really? Koito's suicide was because she was just seeking attention and trying to smear the teacher's name and she just accidentally slipped off the roof? That's what they come up with? |
| Bad animation and stupid unsolved story, the series is bad and they just make it worse lol, still want to appreciate the entire staff for did their best though |

| I was so disappointed that I didn't even want to waste too many words .. A really bad ending. p.s I would like to understand, with all due respect, the feelings of the people who have given 5 |

| I thought a lot of new content was kinda confusing and I thought that the show abandoned its strengths by splitting up the girls but also not giving satisfying closure to any of their individual stories. Also, I was under the impression at the end of episode 12 that the people they saved were born in a parallel world and not returned to which they came - I believe it was explicitly stated in 12 or 11 that was the case. Idk, basically we got 23 minutes more and I feel like I understand the plot less than I did before those minutes |
| Oh boy, where to start ? 1)how the writers tried to explain that ura and acca were evil since they said and i quote "girls suicide for emotions but men for goals" ... making the whole thing very sus, like excuse meeeeee And they they give us that chapter wherr they create and IA just to drop her when they not longer need it, creating a monster and being more clear THE WERE THE BAD GUYS since they literally dont understand women emotions and see them as tools But then ...nothing happens with that info... The anime later claim IA is the bad one alone cuz she creates those weird animal looking things that killed the girls pets ... And then they IGNORE THAT PLOT ALL ALONEEE TO MENTION ALTERNATIVE REALITIES 2) they mention alternative realities JUST TO ALSO IGNORE THAT and say well your friend was an ia ... lol Just a mess |
| Honestly, more so than the recap and the Ai Neiru thing, is what they did with Koito, making her just...the worst person in a way that invalidates the entire worth of the mystery surrounding her suicide, while having no impact on Ai whatsoever. They did nothing with the fact that Ai was saved due to the existence of such a ridiculous and idiotic scumbag whose death now contradicts the rules of the show's suicide statues. I hate this special so damn much, both due to it being an embarrassing wet fart of a sequel-bait, and due to how it actively invalidates the show in my eyes. |

| I could only feel incredulity when I heard about Koito's "suicide". Yeah, what an excellent way to cover the tragic death of a 14-year-old than saying she was a bad person who tried to blackmail the teacher and fell off accidentally when she was acting suicidal to get attention and manipulate the poor teacher. I honestly never though that a series that began showing a lot of care for its teen characters would end up indulging in a typical jumpscare tale from the most recalcitrant side of the incelverse to wrap up a teen death. The main theme of the show, something that has affected the main character so much, reduced to a misogynist scare about a freaking 14-year-old girl with a crush. Frill was awful enough but this crossed the line to me. At least Frill wasn't supposed to be human. And then there were other things like the super inconclusive, "there's more adventure ahead", kind of dumb conclusion, specially when we can't really expect a second season (and I'm not looking forward after this). Or the whole confusing babble about AIs and parallel universes that I don't even know if it had a point but it sure confirmed that the plot twists at the end of the original series were not a good idea. Or the fact it tries to, of all characters, force empathy on Neiru, the one with the least realistic, solid or tangible backstory; and that this finale doesn't even try to solve... we just know the name of her sister now? Holy shit, I was starting to believe the sister story was a lie, that's how much we knew and how much the story cared about her family background. This is even more of an issue because I did think that it was a great show, heck, even with the latest episodes not being that much to my liking I still found it an outstanding series in my overall thoughts. But this finale went into all the wrong directions, confirmed and made all the bad decisions even worse. And it wasn't even a closure, let alone a satisfying one. I'm glad that this can be voted separately here because the difference is abysmal. |

| That instead of a proper wrap-up we got a pity party that retconned the very premise of the show. I'd be much happier if it was a plain recap with maybe 3-4 minutes at the end to make everything super ambiguous and open-ended. It was my single most anticipated anime of its season, and what it has ended up becoming exceeded my most sceptical assumptions from back when the first episode aired. It kinda feels like I'm reliving the last episode of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and I hate it. A perfect representation of a storywriting inclined plane. |

| The story of which they built in the original Wonder Egg was heavily deviated in the Special Edition. What I thought was going to be a single-hour movie were half recap. None of the people being revived remember their former friends for whatever reason, even though all three of them recognized who saved them back in episodes 11 & 12. Frill and those other AI were apparently irrelevant in Special Edition, and the conclusion was— you know... not a conclusion. |

| everything. the animation was good, but the writing was fucked up. the special didn't answer any questions we had after the show was finished and it just gave us more questions to wonder about. |

| That there likely won't be a S2, if there was mostly everything would of been fixed. |

Britannian13 said: I’m just angry about how inconclusive it is. If there isn’t a second season, this show will go down as borderline unfinished. Same, honestly I feel that if they were gonna end it like this I would have rather waited a couple years for a 2nd season. |

| So, I can excuse loose plot threads because I honestly didn't expect most of them to get tied up anyway. But I still can't get over the Koito reveal. A 14 year-old who accidentally committed suicide while lying about a rape accusation (something she had already successfully pulled off, resulting in the death of someone else, but I digress) was the sole impetus for Ai's entire journey. And also, Ai had zero knowledge of any of this for an entire season, despite the two being so close before Koito died. I guess the local news, all of social media, their schoolmates, Ai's friends and her own mom just never felt like bringing any of this up because everyone found it to uninteresting? What the actual fuck were the writers thinking. It's so utterly nonsensical and, frankly, offensive in the broader context of the show's themes. Is this some sort of machiavellian irony on the producers' part? Were we supposed to contrast Koito's shittiness with Ai's innocence and naivety, and comment on how curious it was that the former was able to unintentionally enact such cruelty on the latter after showing so much kindness? I am just so utterly LOST on where they thought they could go with this development. Honorable mention to Neiru, though. She had already become incredibly inauthentic due to being revealed as an active super genius who foisted part of the onus of taking her friend off life support on Ai. So I walked in not caring about her. But she further goes off the deep end by being a secret robot who happily abandoned her friends at the chance being a human. Like, lmfao. Okay, sure. I can't even be upset at this, it's just so funny in a cosmic irony sort of way. What a shitshow. |

| The fact the beginning 25 minutes was just a recap, for one. A big thing that drew me into the show was the exploration of trauma and how it affected each of the girls and their lives in different ways. Seeing them grow and discovering more about them was great. The parallel worlds shit made zero sense to me and it wasn't explained whatsoever. This special just felt like a ton of random ass scenes poorly put together, lol. Focusing on the newly introduced antagonist for like 10 seconds within the whole special was weird. |
