Well they managed to get some screen time for action again. That's one trusty bow if I may ask...

Finale felt pretty rushed with the action and oh look, it's Valentina. Too bad we didn't get to see the majority of them in action sigh. Tigre looked kinda good in that outfit though in the finale.

This would have been much better if it was 2-cour or a split cour, with 4 episodes per volume. What I find the most ridiculous is that the final Vanadis is in the OP but didn't show up in the anime. :P


Rushed adaptation is rushed. *sigh* I find these characters more awesome in the light novel but in the anime, they're more of.........forgettable. :/

Best treat from this anime are the hawt sexy pretty Vanadis (even if the roles of some of them weren't entirely covered in the anime) so that's OK with me...

It was a pretty good ending. Not too special, but about the best the series could've hoped for. I think it felt wrapped up enough that it doesn't need a sequel, but there's still room for one as well.

There was tons of potential in this series. It was excellent at portraying old world politics and battle tactics in a way most "medieval" series, frankly, ignore, doing things that made a lot of ignorant folk watching the series criticize it because they did not understand old world politics and warfare are considerably different from modern politics and warfare. I think that's probably what pleased me most about the series.

Unfortunately, because it was so terribly rushed, neither the plot nor characters felt fleshed out or important. Once I finally began being able to follow what was actually going on over these last few episodes, I found the plot fairly interesting because I love these kind of political wars, but it was heavily lacking in depth and detail. The characters are mostly forgettable because of it.

The girls are seriously DAMN fine though. some of the hottest anime chicks I've seen for real. so hawt I'm almost able to forgive the mediocre characterization.

All in all, not a spectacular series, but I see so much potential in it I'm quite certain the light novels are actually great. I'll probably check them out eventually.

A better budget and more episodes, like a second cour, would have been helping this show, but like this it just felt rushed and just like advertisement for the LN, which probably was it's whole purpose.

I wanted to like it somehow but the quality could have been so much better. In this state it's just one more generic and forgettable adaption...

This was a decent ride with it talking about military from this time and place. I actually enjoyed how they used the chess piece to give a clear overview on the strategy and movements of the armies.

Besides the war, everything was somewhat bland. The events just sort of happen just like when I see the news, "Ohh, that is sad. *3 minutes later* What's for dinner?" sort of idea meaning that it is easily forgettable in many ways.

I did enjoy this though even if it did not especially excite me in the times of war nor give me any other strong emotions. I did sometimes smile and laugh which by itself deserves a 7/10. As much as I want to love this series, I am probably finding myself to actually like the setting only. This was refreshing in its own way.

He ended the war with an arrow to the head. Duke Thenardier didn't last long. I hoped that it was at least a good fight. Tigre received a high title of being a knight. Good for him.

The ending was so anti-climatic. Well, I never expected much from this though. The war scenes were good. Some unnecessary parts were shown through out though.

If this one has two cours and more budgets it sure can make out something from the decent original materials, the production team did tried hard to accomplish this show. It really can't be helped since it's MediaFactory's bad tendency to use one-cour anime to advertise their novels, the success of NGNL wouldn't happen that often, and I felt many works with potentials were wasted this way.

I felt kind of incomplete even though it reached a break point in the original work... probably because of the rush. Guess I will go back for the novel now. A season two is highly unlikely.

So Olga didn't have her screen time til the last...

7/10 maybe.

A very weak show. We didn't even get to see all the war maidens.
Rushed fighting (we barely got to see that) was boring and lacked tension.

It was a disappointment for me.

I'll give it a 7/10 they got the characters perfect and kept more or less to the story, however the show was rushed to hell craming enough material for 2 cour into one meaning lots of the content was cut like the demon and black dragon sub plots, also it seems they had next to no budget for the show.

Lets just say there's more to Ganelon than meets the eye....

No chance of a second season the plot that leads onto the second season has been totally cut.

That was really nothing impressive for what you call "final showdown", too predictable and rushed like many other fights. Nevertheless, overall this still was a good show so I'm looking forward to second season if there will be one.

It finally end, i should have drop it long time ago,
noting more then a stupid ecchi,harem series that try (so hard)
to be more then what it actully is and failed miserably.
Story jump from point to point with lame/no explanation, plot make no sense,
characters mostly the "war maidens" look ridiculous, Fighting scenes is nothing
but a joke, non stop fanservice.......

Judging only from the anime and not from the novel since i didnt read
it and i not going to, my score is 3/10.

A decent ending. I knew from the start it would be rush and left us hanging, but that's expected of a LN adapted in just 1 cour. Despite that it was a good ride and I enjoyed it.

Awwwn, loli from the OP never appeared... :(
I wanted mah lolis!!

Well, it was an okay ending. That arrow was kind of cheated : ''He won because luck and plot armor! :D''. Poor Thenardier, he never had a chance against the MC. He should have knows better.

So the King basically named Vorn has his daughter fiance? That's pretty clever when you think that Vorn is the Lord of the Alsace and since he want to annex it to the Zcetch (or whatever it's called), it still give Brune the rights on the land.

This anime was the most boring and confusing thing I've ever watched, second only to Glasslip. How does Brune even stand up to these super powered chicks in the first place, only one dude, the one taken out by bees, seemed skilled in this universe scope. I don't understand if I was ever meant to feel a sense of urgency or fear for the characters, or even understand why they were fighting or why those chicks were helping Vorn. All the characters seemed nonsensical. I'll just put this as 4/10, at least it had good fan service.

Finished this anime that surprised me a lot, quite liked the plot and the development of the story

It was a nice end too, but did not like to see Ellen influencing the Tigre's decisions and attitudes, do not like very much of protagonists dependent of others

I was curious about the other Senkis, so I would like a second season, but not think there will be, in this case I think it'll look the LN ..
