Last episode, and a pretty strange and anticlimactic at that. Despite facing the biggest challenge he's ever had in the series, he kills his targets as if they were nothing. A kinda enjoyable show overall despite the numerous flaws, but Golgo being the invincible semi-Gof that he is... 7/10

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

This series was very good and I'm depressed there is no more to watch. :(

8/10


I find it funny how this episode they left Golgo an "out" to not kill his target depending on how the situation turned, and I was totally expecting it, but in the end he did it the Golgo way and just killed both of them. Poor Yang, but I think he came to terms with everything just like his father did.

Liked the 2 guns approach using a specific arm to kill each guy.

Bummed that it's over, such a good episodic show. Every episode was different in it's own way.

I wish there were more episodes that will introduce a stronger rival, a slight change of heart or if possible a weakness we never knew.

The series ended on a good note.

Using the left hand to remove the blame from Yang was a nice touch. Using the right hand to thank Yang for healing him (and let use viewers know he is fully recovered) was also a good touch.

He often still kills the target even if he is betrayed, so that was expected.

Overall, I liked this episode... it showed that Golgo 13 thinks a bit further than just the money....

Okay, now I have to say that the series overall was 9/10 for me. Just lost a mark for a few details it omitted, although I don't really miss them.

Well, end of the line for this one, it was a great ride.

You know about half way through the series i was hoping for Golgo to start being more human, and by that I empathy. A little bit of me was thinking, since this is the last episode, that he would quit the mission. Instead he just used a different hand, but Rome wasn't built in a day and heartless killers don't become saints overnight. It's a gradual change and I probably would've taken off points for being unrealistic if he did a 180. I guess all he can manage now is 5 degrees.
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.

I was about to say why did he leave his guns, he never leaves his guns nor shell casings. Though what you said about the doctor makes sense.

I give the series 7/10 because it just got to crazy at times, but enjoyable.

Liked the series quite a bit, but I definitely would've preferred a few multiple episode arcs, and maybe a back story on Golgo. It's too bad the manga hardly has any chapters scanlated, despite being so long. 7/10.

RIP STANZ. You never stood a chance. Great series overall although I also hoped for a longer progressing arc rather than standalone episodes. I was also interested in Golgo's past.

The sex scenes in this anime is a bit awkward though but I liked the overall maturity of it. 7/10. Dat OST also, can't forget about that.

I always wanted to see Golgo express some emotion too. But along the way, I realized that he couldn't. He's an assassin. He has to kill good guys, bad guys, everyone in between. Even those he probably doesn't want to kill. If he started to show emotion, he'd die. So I'm fine with him being apathetic. At least he showed something for his illegitimate child.

That was not. The best way to end the series but I guess it was a good one, well I didn't get the endig was his hand completely healed or not cause I think his hand wasn't working properly.

8/10 I'm gonna really miss this anime

"What a man! Sipping on bourbon with your left arm while having surgery on your right. What a man!"

Interesting that you mention that, that's exactly what Guan Yu was doing but playing chess. Proof, that Golgo is a god lol.

Overall quite an enjoyable series, was quite surprised at how entertaining it was, being episodic. Like others said, I would've preferred if a worthy rival was introduced and Golgo was forced to dance on the fine line between life and death. That would've introduced some conflict.

It was an interesting show, that's for sure. Moving from 5/10 to 6/10 is a fair score, purely because there is nothing else out there similar to Golgo 13. I would've preferred if there was rival introduced and some conflict as golgo danced between life and death.

Ultimately I decided to give it a 6/10 because it is not fair to try comparing it to other similar series or anime. Golgo should be judged by what it tried to achieve, which was a chuck norris show about a master assassin taking out targets, Golgo having the emotional resonance of a plank of wood should'nt be tallied as a short-coming but a differentiator.

Doesn't get a 7/10 from me, because as zany as some of the episodes were, I noticed a large amount of the episodes were quite repetitive and quite straight-forward.

Damn Golgo is just flexing really hard
Left hand = he showed the doctor that he didn't need that right hand to kill his savior's fasther
Right hand = to thank the doctor by killing the one "killed" his father

He might be a cold-blooded professional assassin, but he also have personality xD

Sad to see it ends, I heard Golgo 13 is pretty popular among men in Japan
I hope we can see another Golgo 13 in the future

Golgo is so lucky most of the time, but when he gets unlucky, it's bad luck through and through!
Golgo still has a tiny bit of humanity left to be grateful. He sniped Yann's father using his left hand out of respect for Yann. He's ambidextrous.
