Beach scene was ok. They could've used the watercolor BG for it. Makes you wonder if the producers will want a 2nd season. It ended on a way that you could just read the novels if you liked the adaption. Oh well.

The series kept me puzzled from the start to the end. At first I expected it to be similar to Kamisama Hajimemashita, but then I came to realize it was totally different from any other anime. Unique, yes. Maybe it went ahead of the times.

It may be strange, but I think it is not really random. The theme is always about the personal growth of Sasami-san. And its reinterpretation of the Japanese supernatural has a feel of Bakemonogatari (of course that is boosted by it being animated by Shaft as well). And more than once I was truly touched by what Sasami-san went through, particularly on her evolving relationship with Kagami. A hidden gem of this season, I would say. A real pity that it never gets much love from the watchers.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The real truth about her having "it"... And that monster from the past, is her?!

What? Fox girl and Hanazawa-san's character knew each other?

Somehow when it was deleted, Sasami-san got there. Somehow a guy also showed up and deleted the dragon.

Proper ED at the end. Yahari Love Come to replace this timeslot.

quite a hard show to judge but you can't really deny the efforts from shaft making this show unique and it worked most of the time at least for me^^ 7/10 for now rewatch it after the BD are out for a final score...

I say no to the action of this episode. I mean, I say no to the series. Shaft tried really hard to make this shitty original light novel look good, but oh well, there's nothing much to do when it's rotten to the core. They should've picked any light novel other than this.

A shitty ending, fitting for the series.
Good thing there were the trollish subs.

1 Ep. was promising, but afterwards it was a mess of cheesy drama and not-so-funny nonsense.
Stick with a genre.
Chracters were pretty horrible too.

Dragon Ball, Goku and Kotoura-san? I think I just got trolled by the subs.

Well that was interesting. Strange, but interesting. My favorite episode is still the onsen one at episode 10. There were some funny moments and the battle scenes were fun to watch - though they were really strange. While not good, it still entertained me enough for this season.

I give this series a 5.4/10, but since MAL only allows whole numbers, I gave it a 6.

The subs killed it for me, half of the time i have no idea what was going on because i could not understand what they were saying, other than that i still liked watching the show none the less, different from the usual and just had enough randomness that i liked.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who hated the show. As DawnJ said, it seems to be mainly because of the source material, but I can't be sure as I haven't and certainly never will read the original LN.

It's kind of like the show was hesitating about whether it wanted to be absurd or not, whether to have a storyline or not, whether to (try to) be funny or not, whether to include gore or not...

I just couldn't care about any of the "plot" (when there was one) because of the previous absurd parts, and I couldn't enjoy fully the absurdity because there was too much of a plot! All of the characters were plain and obnoxious, and nothing even gets explain...

And worst of all, it was so boring!!

4/10 (points for catchy opening music and occasional interesting visuals)

What the heavy fuck have I watched? Why have I enjoyed it that much? 10 given, 10 stays. The trollsubs gave more surrealistic atmopshere. Also, I'm really interested about what it REALLY was supposed to be about. The show at whole and the 12 episode, oh well, does it matter?

Lol gotta love those troll subs XD atleast they made me laugh so thx for that BasedKubo. Honestly I was mainly confused with this anime, I want to give it a 7, but I feel like that would be unfair to other anime I've rated fairly low just because I didn't understand. It was a fairly entertaining experience still. So 6/10 for me.

An occasionally funny show (and those Monogatari nuances in the last arc) stifled too often by contradicting itself. If only it kept up a solid rhythm in its direction. Why SHAFT, why!?

to whomever wrote this subs: I hate you, you made it pretty clear that you don't feel like translating that episode at all, but crapping all over it was terrible...

you don't want to do it than don't, but doing it like this is horrible, every each site that I know of posted it as a regular episode and now it will be a real headache to find an episode with proper subs...

I know your job isn't easy but do it right or don't do it at all

the episode was 6/10. but don't get me wrong, it might as well been 9/10 if only I could understand everything they said.

in the last episode when they reveal the villain's plan you can't just translate it to "who would bother read this anyway"

I was already lost enough by what was apparently going on on-screen, but then the subs had to be goddamn stupid. Why bother subbing it if you don't want to do a good job of it? Even a PROPER job of it? You TOTALLY ruined it. Seriously. I do like this show, no matter how totally weird it got, so having the final episode be not only crazy on its own, but for the subber to do a purposely lazy and awful job REALLY didn't help. Thanks a lot.

Once the episode is PROPERLY subbed, then I'll have to rewatch the ENTIRE thing just to try to understand and appreciate the ending. *sigh*

Just so that you guys know, FFF is still subbing it (why would they stop right before the final episode anyway?) but they announced that because of some issues they have, the subs will be late. That's quite obvious, since the normal time they release Sasami is usually friday! But it will probably be out later this Sunday.
Also, something I REALLY recommend for people who like downloading Anime:
http://www.shanaproject.com/
This collects every Anime that is releaed, much better than Nyaa AND you can create an account and set which shows you want to download AUTOMATICALLY right when it's released. Just connect it with your torrent-software. You'll NEVER have to manually search for anything, you can just enjoy Anime more! Oh, you can even set the desired quality and subbing group and much more.
Really guys, try it!

I will comment on the actual episode when the subs are actually out and I watched it of course. Can't wait for the real ending theme! XD Want it on my phone!!

EDIT: I hope I am actually allowed to post links like that? Sorry, I am not sure now, but this is really useful. If it's not okay, just delete this part I guess...

well, apparently i also watched the version with the troll subs, but i definitely won't watch it a second time with better subs.

3/10 for the whole show. i just totally disliked it and i wanted to drop it many times. i'm kind of jealous of people who actually enjoyed it.
and i wish i could write a long detailed review about all the things i didn't like and why i disliked them etc, but i was just plainly... bored while watching it.

Hiabara, nothing to be jealous to those who enjoyed: I dunno why I enjoyed it, I dunno why I gave it 10, I dunno what exactly happened and I dunno why I didn't rate it low for being all over the place. And in the end - I dunno why I lack the willpower to remove that 10.

This is one of the best posts in this thread. OK, I watched it without any English sub but I would say it is really not a good idea to judge a show by any inaccurate subtitle (troll or not). Anyway, I greatly love this show and I really like how it weaves Japanese mythology with modern internet culture with tropes of wincest or yuri etc and still able to tell a good story about a girl's personal growth.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?
