| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this felt rushed. We get Akeichi as he takes his final approach against his adversaries. I will say that it was kinda thrilling to see all the events coming together. And not only that, Twenty Faces does seem like legitimate threat with their role at this point of the story. Just felt odd that it's coming together in the end in this way though. I find the symbolism of the butterflies to be somewhat interesting. But overall, the show is still underwhelming. |

| Finally... The Last Episode. |

| Decent ending IMO. It was rather predictable after Akechi met Kobayashi and Namikoshi, but it was a very well done scene, especially Hashiba saving Kobayashi. Nothing changed, everything was forgotten, society can't be changed. Close 7/10 at the end, it entertained me well enough. |
| its amazing they managed to create such an incoherent series every episode was a chore to watch. 2/10 because I kinda liked the ED track ps: fuck that mc |
| My thoughts about the final episode: Finally this gender-bender mystery (and thriller) anime had ended. And it's okayish series. So I'll rate it 5 (or 6?) score overall. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Predictable, meh ending to a show that probably could have been so much better if it put as much effort into its story as it did into the art. A lack of consistent quality from one episode to another really didn't help either. 7/10 |
| 5/10 meh overall. liked the op song tho. |
| Could have been good if it was gayer. |
| Have nothing to say about this this show. 4/10. |
| An unsatisfying ending for me. Disappointment. 5/10 |
 It ends, now we can start searching for those who thought making this piece of shit is better than just an episodic straight forward adaption of the original source material, gut them and hang their corpses to make an example. |
| I liked this for paperbag guy and Hashiba being gay over Kobayashi. 6/10 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| That ending lacked impact for sure. Kobayashi was annoying as fuck until the end. Akechi definitely made the show for me. 7/10 from me I guess |
| The opening song was the only decent thing about this show. Last couple of episodes on the "20 Faces" arc were very infirm, especially this finale. Would've preferred if it took the episodic route concentrating on various crimes. But whatever.. |
 |
| meh The music is the only good part |
 |
| Ending was average, but overall I enjoyed watching this show at least a little bit. That Shadow Man guy was funny and I liked the music. I don't know if the source material is better than the show, but it got me interested in looking into these books. |
| This was one of the stupidest show ever. It has two good things about it: the ED, and the episode with the detectives back story. I don't get it, that particular episode was excellent. The feelings were very well carried through, you could feel the despair when his sister was found, and I agreed with him 100%, especially with how he got revenge. So why were the rest of the episodes and cases so boring? The directing in this show was abysmal. Also, I couldn't stand the gay undertones. And by undertones, I mean Jesus holy Christ, Why draw a girl, call her a guy, then make him gay? |
 |
| So much potential wasted. I was pretty disappointed with the series and the way it was handled overall. |
 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| *Shrugs* Was expected to have a lot of negativity to unpack but fuck. It seems a lot of the folks in this thread already agree that this was a big pile of shit anyway. |
 |
| Honestly, Shadow Man (the paper bag guy) and the ending song were the only things I liked about this anime. It could have been much better but I feel like the director and producers didn't really know exactly what they wanted to do with this anime, so it ended up being wasted potential. Overall, a pretty meh anime, 4/10. Also, during these 11 episodes, I've never seen Akechi drink anything other than coffee. That's pretty unhealthy, he probably pisses black coffee. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The mc is shit, but the OST and the symbolism were pretty cool. 7/10, had fun. |
Mascera said: Finally... The Last Episode. I feel the same way I liked the first 3 episodes but then the show became less and less enjoyable by the episode. |
| supporting characters had more development then the main lolol pretty anime with meh plot |
| One of those shows that had interesting art but ended up being oh so mediocre. The op and ed are still one of my all time favorites, but the show just wasn't that good; mostly because of the rushed last episode. For some reason I rlly liked Namikoshi though. |
 |
Interesting but vague ending. And a few questions I had that didn't get answered. Like what were those pills that Akechi took, the injuries that their teacher had, and whether Namikoshi survived or not. And I wonder if Akechi could have saved Namikoshi if he simply acknowledged him more.  I didn't like how Kobayashi was so eager to die. I'm glad Hashiba managed to save him in time. He even broke the law for his best friend.  |

| Its done. Nice, now I don't have to see Kobayashina anymore. |
| Kobayashi was pretty stupid to get all caught up in Namikoshi's master plan, because the only death that was really needed was Namikoshi's in order to succeed. If Kobayashi died because the world was boring to him, I can see why he would jump...but Namikoshi was jumping too, so Kobayashi wouldn't be around to see the world change (for better or worse), and that's why he was stupid. And now it's over, where the antagonist wins...something you don't usually see in other shows. Wished that the coroner girl didn't kill herself. It would make sense that she would, since she murdered someone, but that makes his brother's life pretty much all for naught; because she's not living for for his sake, instead opting to die for her own selfish ego (after all, she already got her revenge). Would have liked to see more paper-bag man and the crazy masochist woman get more screen-time. Kobayashi x Hashiba OTP confirmed....? 7/10--not a bad way kill some time. |

| Well, alright ending I guess. I really didn't enjoy this show at first, but I'd say that latest episodes got me more entertained somehow. But this show as a whole really felt underwhelming in the end... Especially compared to some other Summer shows. Still enjoyed some moments, 7/10. |
  |
| ...Nothing changed, meh, not satisfied. Probably liking it for the OP/ED, Akechi and the detective stories. Kobayashi worst main character of the season, lol |
 |
| A weak ending to a weak anime. |
| 'Once an Arsenal man, always an Arsenal man.' - Bob Wilson. |
| So it's over now. Akechi and the ost were the best things of this series imo. 4/10. |
| Was an alright anime. Pretty predictable honestly I expected him to die. Man why can't the MC be a freakin girl and not be a trap... |

Tohka_Yatogami said: The Twenty Faces are continuing to bring threats to the world. The ending was so meh! Eh, I'd have to agree. At least, it's a nice thought to think that there's vigilante's taking care of the crapsack world world in the shadows... I think I might've liked the show more if Kobayashi was a girl... Or if the plot revolved more around Akechi's perspective instead. Also, the concept of crime and psychology is an interesting one, if done right, of course. |
| Ahh. There were things I didn't like and things I did like.. I would of Given it 5/10 But the last 3 eps had me emotionally invested because of Namikoshi.. and now I have the feels. End score: 7/10 |
 |
8/10 (OK). this series had its moments, but the ending kinda fell flat. quite a few episodes were unnecessary, but some i loved, like Kagami's backstory. also, the insert song was nice along with the stylization and symbolism in the art. |

| l really enjoyed this show, it was fun and the ending was great IMO :) |
 |
| God people were hard on this show. Anyway, I enjoyed it. 7/10. |
 |
| Kobayashi is still a boy. so... 4/10 |
#CHEXIT |
| was hoping for a nice gay kiss at the end of this series. but that not happening + the shitty plot and animation have led me to rate this shit a 3/10. i regret watching it. (but the ed theme is sweet) |
  |
| Ranpo Kitan was everything I wanted from a mystery show. Unlike everyone else, I actually liked Kobayashi for what he was, is, and what it came to be in the last episode. Definitely my favorite show from this season. Also, the best ending song is definitely Mikazuki. LOL at the people who thought Koyabashi was going to come out as a girl. In your face, desperate assholes. |
| OP/ED was a big hook for me to getting into this, despite that this was going downhill from the start. I expected more BL and at least some kind of underlying factor to Kobayashi being magically revealed. It was stupidly enjoyable enough if you ignored the major faults, though. 5/10 |
