| to be frank when mary was introduced all I cared about is her XD story was like a one sloped rollercoastoer 8/10 would've been better if they explained how mana worked and I would've loved to see how the others trained and what their masters looked like pretty good first season hoping for another need more mary |

| Oh Grimgar, you were this close of a 10. But the last fight was nonsense. All along the show we saw them preaching about "Together we stand, Apart we fall". Teamwork was absolutely everything throughout 11 episodes and 10 minutes, but the Haru vs. Death Spot fight set asunder all of this. The fight was good, a bit low on quality I guess, but the main critic is that it was completely..."un-dramatic". And Ranta helm teleporting to and fro his head shows how important reviewers are on a show. Ep. 4/5 Anime 9/10 |

| decent series with beautiful artwork and a different take on a well used theme. The soundtrack was also good. Downsides were indulgent pacing (they did know it was a single cour right?) and the constant Manato this Manato that got a bit tiring. I would watch a season 2 but I doubt we will get one which is a shame as there are allot of unanswered questions. 7/10 |
| Really good finale. Hoping to see S2. 9/10 This is easily the best "trapped in a game" anime I've seen. Konosuba as a parody was very good too. Nice to see two of the best in this kind of anime in the same season (haven't seen Log Horizon though). I'm glad someone knows how to do these right unlike SAO. |
| pigslugs, i love pigslugs, don't you guys love pigslugs? |
| It was good. Nothing amazing but it was nice and i'd take a second season if it happens. 7/10 for me. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| LOL i thought ranta died for a second in the beginning XD Great ending overall. Ranta finnaly made a good action, i really like that especially how he struggle so hard from Death spot. I thin Shihoru is getting stronger too, that was an amazing action from her. And finnaly Haruhiro. I expected that he will be okay but LOL he killed it HIMSELF!!! i didn't expect that. and the action was really good. And they ended it with an amazing insert song. again, the insert song matched perfectly with the mood. i like the ending. Marry X Haruhiro, from marry it was getting a development, unfortunately not from Haruhiro :( but that scene when Haruhiro woke up, that was really sweet. i ship them X3 i really enjoy this show 9/10 Season 2 ? i really hope for season 2 because there are some more new characters in the LN that i want to see in anime :D |
 |
| Meh. Not my cup of tea. The characters weren't interesting imo. Oh well. Was hoping for a really crazy finish (episode 11 was good, but it didn't make up for the previous episodes for me) |
| Not a bad episode. Ranta was pretty awesome this episode. Didn't think that haru would be able to kill that beast. Overall, I would say the anime was ok. There were good episodes and bad ones. the art was definitely beautiful though. overall, I'll give this a 6/10 |
 |
| Yap, the story running slow, but that's what makes the story come to the heart gently. Hopefully in the next season the reason behind why they are there in that world will be revealed. And hopefully there will be no element of romance into the story. Australia.....! |

| Although I can't say I loved it, it was still a pretty enjoyable show til the end ~ Liked the atmosphere a lot I'm just sad that it seemed pretty fast and easy to find Ranta... as I've heard that he actually survived alone for a few days. Seemed like a few hours at most here komasan said: I can't believe they managed to make a continuity error with Ranta's helmet though. It was so obvious. Saw that one too... it was really super obvious it made me laugh xD |
| the ending was nice and the over all series was good, renta and yume was 2 of the reason why i kept coming back cause of how awesome they are and even the mage girl got better over time, the tank guy got nothing bad to say about him and mary she's cool but haru i just cant stand the guy through out the whole series and then in the end of course he first copies renta in what he did last ep making it like he did it for nothing lol and then on top of that he activates MC OP power smh.... but other than that it was a nice over all series but i have heard there was alot changed even the fact that someone else was suppose to die but yeah ... i would want another season but idk if it would happen since so much was changed ... but anyway time to start up the LN |
| "one step at a time" |
| The director on the episode quality. Everything will be fixed ,improved and he wants add things for the blu ray/dvd. Also ep.4 is greatly improved. https://twitter.com/Ryousuke_Nak/status/713996993291399168 |
 |
| This was a pretty decent show. While I thought the characters weren't that special, the art really stood out. A lot of questions remain unanswered so I'd like to see a sequel. 7/10 |
| Surprised there wasn't a 2nd season announcement at the end of the episode. I feel like Japan loved this kind of anime. As for me, the ending felt really solid and calming and I gotta say I kinda dug it. For the series though, forced fanservice and even more forced insert songs definitely hurts the overall score. I'm thinking a strong 7/10 but I'll stretch it. 8/10 |
 |
| Didn't like how the anime version of Haru killing Deathspots went. LN version is far better. Other than that, was a good episode and a great ending to the show. The ending gave me that "go read the LN, cause we ain't doing this again" vibe, which sucks. The anime studio that did the series seemed like they were poor. While the show does have an artistic looking feel, the actual quality was very poor. There was way too many blatant errors that got past editing. And there was one walking scene that was flat out intentionally derp`ed. It felt like they were either rushed, understaffed, or both. The music was good. although, hip hop and mmo adventure genres don't mix. hip hop is an urban culture vibe. so when you hear rapping BGM in a middle age setting anime, it's rather off putting. But must of the songs did mesh into the story nicely. I loved the show overall. And I'd love another season with a better anime studio. But as i said before. It doesn't look that good. The sales are decent, but they're not making the bean counters bulge their eyes out. That's for sure. |

| Haruhiro will be known as the Death Spot Slayer SEASON 2 WHEN!!!! |
| I liked this show a lot mainly because of how relaxed it was. It feels like a barebones adventure show but it comes across as honest. I found the character's lives interesting to watch as they struggled to earn enough to live day by day and tackled hardships which made them grow as a person. An unexpectedly good show. |
| Glad I stuck with this because it really did pick up in the second half of this series. It seems like judging from what I've seen, they covered the first 2 volumes. I heard they skipped a few things but it's probably stuff that can be easily rectified by going back and reading the LNs. I'm gonna assume that this won't get a season 2 or if it does, we won't know about it right away so I'll be going to read the LNs soon. Final verdict, about a 7/10. I want the soundtrack and insert songs though. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Overall 5/5ep 10/10 series, hopefully this gets s2 aswell if a much worse konosuba did |

| Was a nice ending. The fight with Death Spots was cool, Ranta survived and Haruhiro became a badass. Nice way to end the series. 6/10. The series wasn't bad for me, but it was too slow at the beginning. The last episodes with Mary and the kobolds made the series much better. |
 |
| While the Anime itself to me felt slightly above average. I think it did it's job in making me want to find the LN version. I like the world setting and the story was interesting. I think LN will probably be better for me than the Anime. A 6/10 for me. Beginning was too slow for me and I wanted to see a bit more of the Death Spot fight at the end just to name a few gripes I had. |
Shinjisus said: Haruhiro can kill Servants confirmed. He killed Berserker in this episode after all.Shrimperor said: With the amount of Shikis Nasu created is not that imposible...After the slow af and boring Start, the Series got good at ~Ep.8, but it has been kinda awesome after that. This could've been easily 8-9/10 if it had better pacing, but alas, the pacing quite destroyed it for some. 6/10, however looking forward to a S2, since i quite liked this after ep8, and i hope it only gets better after that. Haruhiro son of Shiki confirmed? |
|
| Average drama with little character development. If not for the fantasy theme this show would have been buried ages ago. 5/10 because of good ending. |
| And then came the grand finale for this anime, a really great episode, the final fight between Haruhiro and Death Spot was expected, especially with the final blow being done through the uncanny ability to Haruhiro, also had some weak points, as Ranta be with helmet when attacked by Death Spot, and before and after showed him without his helmet, but it was still a good episode This plot really excited me, as well as the characters, especially the protagonist, even monologues of Haruhiro sometimes were interesting to me for sure I will read the LN soon, and also wait for a second season .. |
  |
| I wanna give this episode a 10/10 but my god it just had a bunch of shit with no explaination. First off already mentioned...Rantas Helmet...WHO LET THIS EPISODE GET PASSED SCREENING??? Then the fight where they were rescuing Ranta was good I liked that a lot. Ranta wanting to fondle Yume was hilarious. In fact I'm jumping from the Haru x Yume ship...Ranta x Yume all day! It made me appreciate the characters more as well, very well developed the whole season. The Death Spot fight though...disappointing. The stream of light that is never explained comes back and everything is in slow motion. Then the Sword goes into his chest and all we see is Green outlines...WHY DAMMIT?! So shitty. Then they hint at Earth by saying "Australia" and Haru starting to lose his memories...thanks for that, they're better be a Season 2 and we better get more BARBERA. |

| Was too slow paced for my liking and the amount of stills we got... Fuck me. Only the last few episodes had me intrigued with Death Spots, but... This last episode wasn't even really a good finale. That battle was mediocre at best. Generous 6/10. |
 |
| Anyone noticed the random scene where Ranta was suddenly wearing a helmet and the next shot of him showed him without a helmet again? Also, i fucking love this show, pace was perfect for what it was trying to accomplish and it was a great watch. 9/10 |
 |
| 2 things I didn't like about this anime - Unnecessary ecchi - Romantic pats that doesn't evolve into anything Aside from that, best anime I watched this season. I'm giving it a 9/10. If there is more seasons to come, there is a chance that I will give it a 10/10, because it has a lot of potential. The interactions between characters are amazing. |

|
| I really love this. Hoping for a sequel. |
     |
| It was alright, I guess. Not that wow, I'm not sure the hype. If people are looking for RPG, I'm pretty sure KonoSuba wins it this season. Or if people are looking for character devlopment or despair-ish things, Erased wins it. Or AOTS, Shouwa wins it too. |
Can we talk about how wonderful the ship is sailing? We don't see Mary cries for Ranta, yet Yume cries for him and Ranta mumbling about his "flat-chest" insults which refers to Yume. Then when they leave Haru, Mary cries for him and Haru is worried about her. I've been bored to death before Mary came to the group, but when she comes the anime became a lot more interesting to me. Mary is fantastic and to have the ship is true is even more fantastic!   This could've been a 10/10 anime to me, but the insert random song montages ruined it for me. Not to mention the slow pacing of without Mary is killing me (I almost dropped it on episode 4). So when Mary came along, I am really glad I didn't drop. Overall enjoyment, 9/10 (because of Mary and the second half~)  Also, Australia! By the way, that Shihoru mage girl is a fail character with no development. Like seriously, she feels so alienated that I forgot she's a character. I hope there's season 2. This is definitely my second best for this season, just behind KonoSuba. |

| It definitely had more potential but I'm still glad how it turned out. I hope a season 2 will be announced soon else I'll be definitely looking into the Light Novel. |
  |
| Yap, ready for 2nd season if it gets one and hope it does! |
| Just a beautiful final episode to end one of the best anime I have ever seen! This show made me smile,laugh, and cry and I'm hoping it will one day get a second season! Easy 10/10 |
| The best of the season in my opinion 8/10, second season please! |
| 6/10 Overall for the anime, and 4/10 for the episode. Last week's episode was so good, but episode 12 goes back to the failures of the past episode. Again there are bad scene transitions that lack continuity or flow. In 11, we saw Ranta sacrifice himself to allow the group to escape, yet when this episode starts he's already hiding from Death Spot and the kobolds. When we don't get to see how he manages to evade the kobolds and is again in danger and needing to be rescued, it takes away from his moment last week, doesn't it? Haru and team, needing to come back and saving Ranta, puts them in the same danger as before. If you're an anime only watcher and a Ranta fan, how is that a good thing? In the LN, this was Ranta's time for character growth and internal dialogue, but instead that doesn't really happen and Ranta fans get cheated out of his moment. He gets his ass saved and goes back to calling people idiots and flat chested. Way to kill whatever development he had. Then there's the choppy animation, errors, and insistent on focusing on extraneous scenes. Yeah the fight with Death Spot was anticlimactic. He was supposed to be hard and supposed to tax the group before Haruhiro steps in to take his turn at sacrificing himself. Rather than showing Brittany and bringing back Ghost Manato, which I don't understand the point of those scenes because it just makes Haruhiro look like a schizo, more of the fight with Death Spot could be shown. So many scenes changes at the end there. Before I sound too negative and nit-picky, I do like the scenes at the tavern with Renji, the morning Haruhiro wakes up and questioning of his lost memories. They help to move the story along and makes you think about what's going to happen in the world of Grimgar. Makes you want a second season. |
