| <strong>THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.</strong><br />---------------------------------------- <br /><br />Well the ending felt rushed but it was fairly typical of a anime based off a video game (i.e. fight the final boss scenario to beat the game). The ending was decent and I thought that Souma should stay in End Earth regardless, so I glad that came into fruition. My final thoughts was that this was an ok series, again I loved the character designs throughout the show (especially Blancneige XD) and I also liked the soundtrack especially that piano focused orchestral instrumental that was playing in the background during then ending of the first half. |
| Yep, the design of the outfits etc. was great, I really liked that. The end was typical yeah, but that's indeed something you get when you base an anime on an RPG game. I still liked it though. I only now noticed that Elde, the real world, is basically 'Erde', which is German for 'Earth' if you think of the R-L switching in Japanese language. :D |

| It was a pretty good show, I liked it. The Character designs and outfits were great. zanmato666 said: Well the ending felt rushed but it was fairly typical of a anime based off a video game (i.e. fight the final boss scenario to beat the game). That's true, I thought the battle against Elfaren would be a bit longer than ending around the start of the episode. I would've rather seen Kiriya stay with Zechti than Souma go back to Mao though :( |
| wtf. the souma x mao thing kinda like... came out of nowhere. and i thought she was all for zero until like... yeah. |
| an alright episode. i wanted more of an epic battle, but it was not like i expected anything. At least we got a Souma x Mao ending. Yay for that. |
 |
| Souma and Mao....? But... Fight could of been longer >__> But anyway, at first wasn't too interested in the show but I kinda got better towards the end. Character design was pretty good, everyone looked great (All the girls had great outfits :D), but the story wasn't that great. Some things felt really random but it wasn't too bad. Overall 7/10. |
 |
| this entire anime was weak, it was like yaoi, harem, rpg, fantasy all throw together into an anime. there wasn't much feeling throught out the anime and there was always this sense of yaoi(especially between souma and zero) and everything don't seem to connect smoothly, but i love the characters. plot, not so much |
| im gonna have to say im dissaopinted with this series in general. its a tony taka work, so the character designs are great. the music is great. but the story is lame. probably would have done better as a Hentai OVA in my opinion. |
  |
| Wat the Crap Was Up With Souma and the guys? just weird!! |
| I think that this show was good. Could have done with better animation though. But the story was good. |
| Average at best, even though I really love the characters from the game. I'm not the one that scores show based on their animation and art but I just have to mention how this one was so... empty. I love the ending for Mao though, she is just overly cute. She deserved it. ^^ |
 |
| gosh anime was good and as based on RPG it was greatly done ~ I liked costumes and music and chara and story :3 BUT GOSH..... THEY KILLED ME WITH ''ENDING''.. what freaking ending is that? so Mao like switched from Zero to Souma over day and before she was so into Zero and finding Zero and telling Zero something blah blah... I hate such girls and was surprised they made ending like that.. so like Zero is totally left alone like an outcast.. Souma didn't even try to reconcile and bring together all of them and to force Zero to talk and release his fears in front of Mao.. and just left Kiriya and others go home alone.. O.o like wtf?! totally uncalled ending for... but until this 13th ep, all of 12 ep before were ok :) so I'll try to forget ending and left it open for me. W.W |
 *ANIME I.NTERE.ST*----> +IN anime pictures and get FREE anime & manga merchandize from JAPAN! |
| Given 13 ep's adapted from a game,It was ok things were rushed not enough character development and world building things felt like its happening all over the place.Minutes from the ending I felt like they were going to botched it with souma just up and leaving but glad they didn't and made a suitable conclusion.Romance though seems forced underdeveloped it was like out of nowhere that it turned out to be mao x souma.Adding that Yaoi scene on near the end didn't help one bit I was really close to rating it even lower. |

| Kind of a typical RPG adaption. And equally to most rather underwhelming. They basically just went through all the major story beats whithout any regard to telling a cohesive or interesting story, neither did they sucessfully establish a connection between the audience and the characters nor tried to show a natural progression of their individual developments and relations. Furthermore the cast was way too big for such a short series. Well, what to expect of a title that tries to condense a longer game story into a one cour anime. For me it barely scraped by at a 5 simply to the fact that all in all it was fairly unoffensive. |
