Very nice final episode. Bell looked so great when she was fighting. :D

We all more or less saw it coming but I'm glad they didn't revive Kureha right away. This show was meh in the beginning but the last half was really something. I enjoyed it a lot so I'm giving it an 8.

I agree that the last episode was a nice finish. What happens to Kureha was kind of expected ... i guess the creation of Syaimaral was a double edge sword in the end (for kirihito anyways)... interestingly, Hiiragi actually graduated! :P

Good final episode I guess. I was wondering how they were gonna revive Kureha. I'm glad we got to hear Anzelotte's line one last time.

Overall: 6/10

Overall, it was a decent series. I'd give it 6/10. I would give it 6.5/10 if there's more episodes... =P The series lacks of character development (well it only has 13 episodes), the music is decent, there's too many main characters (having only with 13 episodes, they should've just concentrate on one character).

The only thing I liked about this series is the character design and animation. Anzelotte rocks! But it gotten to repetative with the "Yes" or "Okay". It's a shame because the anime would've been better. I'm taking Anzelotte home.. lol "GOD DAMU!!" is better than "Yes" or "Okay".. =P

It really bounced back for me, the last few episodes. I'll never get tired of hearing Nightmare go "dreeeeam~" haha. Makes me chuckle every time.

I didn't want Kirihito to die, even though I knew he would. He had to be one of the characters that interested me the most in the series. What can I say, I'm a sucker for mysterious guys.

My score is wavering between a 6 and 7. I had it at 6 during its worst episodes, so with the last few, I might up it to a seven.

Give em a second season (or a Bell and Lion spin off) or give me death! For me, this was a sleeper. It was the greatest highlight of 2007. So I'm going to give it a 9 or a personal 10 because it's simplicity had such an impact on me.

Really good episode. Loved how the 'fallen man' got a new nickname... the 'rising man'!
I would have given it an 8/10, but it goes lower to 7/10 because of the repetitiveness in the middle...

Not as bad as Myself; Yourself, but not as "good" (in relative terms) as Ninomiya-kun. One of the crap shows I managed to finish this season. I think this show could have done better by having more totally off-the wall scenes like the moon episode. I enjoyed it most when it wasn't taking itself seriously, or was some kind of subtle self-parody.

Bell and Lion deserved more screen time. I really liked the character designs and art for this show, I only wish it hadn't followed the plot so closely and done more outlandish things like what we saw earlier on. The worst thing a mediocre show can do is take itself too seriously.

I personally thought it wasn't better then Myself; Yourself but that was just me. This series was interesting and worth watching. Will I watch it again? Probably not. Will I play the H-game? Most definitely lol.

In closing id like to say DREEEEAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM

I gave M;Y and 8, so this show deserves an 8.5 at least, so a 9.

I enjoyed it a large amount, it's was pretty great in my book.

Of course it's probobly going to get a score reshuffling when I finish more series as happens so may drop down to an 8.

My only regret is not finding out Hiiragi's secret from Kureha. Unless I'm missing it being specifically stated, albeit I do have some ideas based on the final 3 episodes.

I loved this episode, and the ending was nice, too.
It started off pretty bad but suddenly it got better and better, so I'll give it an 8 because I enjoyed it.

Anzelotte sucks. Give me more Bell Zephyr!

it was a good ending although it seem really easy to get through to ellis and stopped syaimaral and kirihito died very easily too. It was nice seeing bell zephyr and anzelotta join forces. Overall, good episode.

well, it was an interesting show to see
i will give it a 8/10 because i liked it, and it was worth watching the last episodes.
kureha's revival was predicted, but then again, we all wanted a happy ending. the fall... rising man finally graduated, it looks like elis had a crush on hiiragi, and all that... i would have preferred something along the lines of an elis x hiiragi ending.. but thats just cuz i am a sucker for romances... anyways, elis in new uniform was cute..

i hope they do a spin-off on how hiiragi saved the world before. also, this anime seriously lacked on explanaition of one character's past... akari... i mean, yes, the guy we saw that episode saved the world.. but what is he to her?

anyways, wishing for a spin-off or something like that...

EDIT: i demand more Bell.... and DREAM~

Pretty decent show... i gave it an 8 but if Hiiragi was to die i would give it a 10. Him dieing would just add that extra emotion at the end that i like. but we got a happy ending so it's all good.

"God Damn" lol anzelotte is so awesome also Nightmare coming out of nowhere saying "dream" made me laugh

Just finished this anime after a mini anime marathon and I would just like to say how much I enjoyed it. A nice short and simple anime to pass the time on a rainy day!

Also one of the best last episodes I have seen recently, the last episode is worth watching the whole thing for! Top marks!

Demon Lady Bel was visually eye-catching, but then I saw actual photos of the voice actress who plays her -- wow!

This story kept me guessing. In the eleventh and twelfth episodes, I was really on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what would happen, how dark it would get, and whether it would be a "darkness before the dawn" or a total black-out.

I want to know that too.

We also don't know the relationship between Akari and that Mikoto..

But it was a good show, I had a big smile when Kureha revived, hehe. She was one of the characters that made this show good. I hated Elis tho, she's like Nagisa.. and I hate those characters. ;x

Man, I was hoping for a romantic Kureha x Hiiragi scene..

7/10

this is a really epic anime, i found that it is hard for me to like the first half of the anime. if it wasnt the cute character drawing, i would have been quit it, that is probably why the score is so low...

but second half is well done, and i especially like the part when kirihito die, he watch it coming as like he has already predict it, and speak his last word with a smile... that is just so cool!!! XD

in the end, this show earn 10/10 from me and remain as one of my favorite epic (edited) classical "save the word" anime XD

i'll give this a 7, because it was too boring in the beginning and they kept on using the annoying overused jokes
it would have been a 6 but they managed to have a decent ending so its a 7
also, i wonder what his secret was? we never got to find out.

This was a charming little show from the year 2007. The MC looked derpy the whole thing, but still had some charm along the girls and whole cast through. I liked it better and saw more effort and quality put through this show than most garbage isekai shit that has been blasted out nonstop from Japan in recent years. Still this was their "shit" back in those years, you know? The highschool setting with magical alumni. That one still keeps coming up today though, so I don't know which can be seen or judged as the most tiresome trope and setting by the end of the day. So in my conclusion, anime is shit, manga is shit, light novels are shit, visual novels too, tv is shit, videogames are shit, everything is shit. Thank you and good night.

Great OP and ED songs.

I'll be generous and say this anime is okay, since the later episodes pulled it out of the monotonous episodic rut it was in. The plot isn't completely awful and the main character is fairly likeable. What brings it down is the other heroines being bland and the first few episodes being incredibly boring. The music and visuals are superior, which is a point in its favour.
