THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So the climax of the season did go for a big battle between the two Toorus. Heh, they actually went full out too with the movements and attacks. Not too surprising imo.

As for the battle, it was pretty fast paced.

Overall, the show itself was very meh and one of the most underwhelming series imo. 4/10 and that's generous. Lol, I can't take Kyouka seriously in that outfit during the confrontation

Main black vs. Main white serious battle over their different ideals + the girls over their boys. Destroying the cube is the way. Miki (written as mirai/future) is an interesting name. Wow at the girl's confession. Wait, Miki is born as his grand daughter??

Wait, alternative ending next week (ep.12.5)??

I'm seeing alternative ver. on streaming site now. I think the one airing next week is nico ver. streamed today because the news on official site mentioned about the difference on nico.

The episode title for the special is different than the title for the Nico version and they are also going to stream the special on Nico next week so I assume the content will be different that what was shown today.
The title for episode 12.5 special: 分岐/二つの未来
The title for episode 12 Nico ver: 帰還/風の行方

It seems Daisuki will be simulcasting the Nico version. I wonder which version CR will be simulcasting.

Well that fight was pointless as expected....And did time just reset for everyone that lived?

Anyway, it wasn't bad so I'm fine with this.....And our suspicion wasn't about Miki wasn't that off....She's Tohru and Kyouka's granddaughter lol

6/10 only because it started to pick up after a while

That was lackluster AF; from the battle to how the whole problem got resolved by the destruction of the huge energy cube. White Tooru was particularly pathetic. Such a shame that the better Kyouka is his partner.

Even after everything that went down in the part 11 episodes, a future where a Dead End might occur isn't completely ruled out yet, which make the previous battles seem pointless.

Suddenly, Tooru is old and now being called Grandpa by the loli at the end. I don't know if I missed something or that made 0 sense.

One of the weakest show of the season. Plot seemed rather interesting at first, but it began diving downhill soon after. Another studio than A-1 might've been able to make it better, even if a little.

It's sad to say, but reading the reviews were more enjoyable than the series itself.

But I guess some thoughts are better communicated through action. I wanted Miki to call out to Toru at that scene.

Should've showed the marriage or something :/ that is quite the large time skip.

Despite everything, I did enjoy myself. Maybe a 7/10? Titles like these makes me want to expand my scoring system...

At first, I think... "GRANDdaughter?! Come on. Shouldn't it be her "Daughter" for the "Perfect" Match of the Story?". And then... "Oh well it makes sense since Tohru's became the "President of the World" and it must take his time A LOT.

Not the greatest series for a whole variety of reasons, but the actual ending was pretty good, even if the fight that preceded it was pointless in every way. Still, it could have been a whole lot worse.

I thoroughly enjoyed this anime! I think the story could have been told better if it was done it 2 cours instead of one. I was shocked that Miki turned out to be his granddaughter, but makes sense overall!

7/10 from me!

Bottom Line: This was a fucking great series!

Ok, this is the last episode, so I'm gonna type as I watch.

Still find it asinine that other Tohru wants to take out the other world.

OP: Listening to you for the last time, god I'm gonna miss you.

5 minutes in: You didn't take the shot why?

Oh, so other Tohru wants to possess the power of the dead end to control it. he thinks that he can bring world peace and end poverty.

Wow, are all Tohrus and Kyokas gonna survive?

Don't remember them saying that they couldn't return to their own timeline if they didn't kill the other.

"Memories are important, but mom and dad gave me a future!"

And everything went back to normal, only with peace, and Tohru left to change the future and stop the dead end by becoming president...oh, and he's gonna marry Kyoka! Awesome!

Hehe, last minute it's Tohru in the future, metting the purple haired little girl, who he named..Michi I think.

Overall, this series was great, through and through!
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out.

I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts!

Honestly, I liked the alternate a lot more. I liked White Tohru more anyway and didn't care when he killed the other one. The scene with the other Kyouka dying was much more heartfelt as well.

I like that he chose that path of power and how different it is from your usual series end. His superpowers were rather cool too. If just for that ending, I gave this series a slightly higher score.

So Tohru actually became president of the world and Miki is his granddaughter. Overall, boring series with an uninteresting plot and uninteresting characters. The only good part of this anime was the opening and ending. Definitely my least favorite show of the spring season, 4/10
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

President of the world..... hahahahaha! What the fuk....

Overall they gave it as good of an ending as they could have, though the Tohru on the other dimension of things was still screwed over. j

Been calling out the nonsensical nature of this show since the first two episodes, but I guess it took a slight turn for the better near the end, albeit it's still nonsense and ridiculous.

Overall below-average to average show, but I guess for a relatively unknown fighting game adaption it's the best they can do.

I'm seriously confused as to which version I do find better and more nonsense.
Regular execution is worse, but the finale actually makes sense.
Alternative execution is way better, but its finale made no sense at all.

Just leave it to Tohru, but Kyoka wants to join in!
Hooray, they kissed again!

So Miki is Tohru's granddaughter? I thought it would be daughter, but nope.
And where's Kyoka? At least Tohru became the President of the World.

It could have been better. If only we had a time machine.

So judging this based off the TV ending.

Well the story wasn't that great. The concept itself was interesting, and done right, could've actually been some Stein's Gate level mindfuckery, but it was poor executed and didn't have nearly enough time to develop it's characters and plot devices.

White Tohru was just fucking retarded the entire time. "wahh you guys have cell phones and we have trees, so I need to kill you because our day to day is a bit harder". Ok then bud, how about you stop fighting, take ALL of the energy cubes out of your guns and everyone on your sides guns...and them FUCKING USE THEM FOR SOMETHIG PRODUCTIVE!!!

More Tohru x Kyouka.

Funny how the other week they completely shut down the Miki = Tohru and Kyouka's kid theory. But then when he kept telling her that "he'd see her soon, etc etc". I thought "well how the hell is he going to do that if she's not his kid. The only way that could happen is if he was old enough to be her grandfather". ...sure enough.

At least the ending was decent and conclusive. A little over dramatic, but at least it was happy. Kyouka went all crazy with the "president of the world thing". You'd think just the leader of the Katagiri group would be realistic, but then after that time skip you see the memorial that says "donated by the president of the world". So it actually happened lol.

We don't know whether Kyouka grew old with him, but I'd assume so. Also glad he didn't forget about her either when he says "we met again". She had no clue of course. I don't know why they didn't show his face. Like they weren't pretending that it was someone other than Tohru.

Few things they didn't clarify though that confused me:
1. Did they end up going back in time to the day of episode 1, but end up keeping their memories? That's what was heavily implied, because even the speeches and the news on TV was the same. If time was rewound though, why weren't Shizune or any other dead people brought back?
2. You could see that Kyouka was calling everyone, but about what? It had to be important enough that she called literally everyone.
3. If the histories separated after the cube was destroyed, does that mean that the two worlds wont ever meet each other? It was implied that when they discovered traveling to the other universes that it led to the war of the two worlds, so did that change?
4. What happened to all of their guns with the energy cubes in them?

Eh overall 5/10. Had a few interesting moments, and a decent ending. But that came at the price of many many shitty moments.

7/10, I enjoyed the fight scenes and the story's average.

I just love the part where the old guy shouts out loud to stop fighting. Especially because the VA uses his Master Asia voice.
