| Well it was good? The action is good and all, but still lacking in my opinion. I have seen a bit of anime/manga where a character become what they hate/want to destroy... 7/10 |
 |
| I have just one personal complain: That Noriyuki is alive, damn! He started as a shit, acted as a shit and ended as a shit... and more.. ALIVE!!!! DAMN! Yomi didn't deserve that guy... she's too much for him. Sorry about my harsh words, but I can't happen to like him, not after what he did, well... he didn't do almost nothing anyways... he's just.. there. PS.: I hope that guy with glasses at the end don't be a replacement for Yomi in the entire manga, I hope. I mean, Yomi and Kagura's relationship can't be replaced, nor even try to be replaced. |

| I'm really really glad that i watched this hidden gem. Overall endingl; it was a great ending imo. really like how they executed the ending and the anime from the beginning. although, it's a little too bad that the team who got reck in the first episode didn't get just a bit of characterization in this anime but either way, i still think this show is amazing especially on the action scene. And this finale almost made me cry tbh. it was so emotional when they did the fast flashback before Kagura killed Yomi. that almost made me cry tbh. they nailed it. And look at that new weapon Kagura has. god dammit that was so cool. i mean, it literally the combination between gun and katana. just put the gun pressure inside the katana. ammunition came from the bottom of the katana. shit! just what words other than "cool and badass" to describe that thing lol xD overall series; yeah....i really like it a lot. one of my fav anime out there tbh. i really like how they put the present in the first 2 episode and then suddenly went back to the past for the explanation as for what was goin on. i really like the way they made the story. kinda uniqe imo. and i thought this show has yuri element in it but actually nope. and i really like it a lot. it's just a relationship between "sisters" or you can say "best friends" "if you were put into that kind of situation, where your best friend turned into something evil like that and can't turn back into normal human anymore AND the only thing to stop her/him is to kill him/her, would you killed him/her because of "love" ?" or put it into a simple way "will you kill someone you love because of love ?" well, that is a difficult question i must say, but if there is no other choice than killing him/her, personally, i would do it. For the soundtrack, not really that god like, but it was great and kinda match with the action scene and other scene too. OP and ED song was great too. i prefer OP song tho xD Animation was superb imo. i mean the action scene. depite being released in 2008, it could managed to make that kind of animation and that suprised me a little bit tbh. well, anyway, the animation was amazing. that's all i can say about the animation. and one more thing; Physilogical = AMAZING!!! 9/10 from me. one of my fav anime series. hidden gems. i would recommended it to other people. Fav character; Kagura. Reason: Badass, Cool, Strong, Kind, DAT FUCKING ENDING (episode 12/this episode ending) :o :o :o felt like watching akame ga kill tbh xD |

dragonshade said: I dont think there will be a second season the reason why its Ga rei Zero, its a prequel to the manga vol 1 read the manga, it starts out from the very end of the anime long hair ver of Kagura = <3<3<3 (death by moeness) The manga is from the perspective of the main guy , Kensuke and Yomi didnt die, she lives on as a demon , and still doing evil shit lol even though I got spoiled, I feel extremely happy Yomi is still alive even if she is living on as a demon. Honestly, I wish the author made some bs to restore Yomi as I feel she is too important of a character to have thrown away like that. The addition of a random character, kensuke doesn't help much. |
| Ahh....my best girl Yomi died a glorious death with lots of chat and feels. The best part is when she stabbed Kagura. All in all a very nice series with some reversed time line episodes from the beginning. If Kagura had died or Nori the Worthless had died, then I would have given it a 9/10. However, it is my duty as a Vanquisher of emo anime characters to drop a point and give it an 8/10 with two thumbs up and a snap back! Well played Yomi! |
 |
| I have quite a bit of problems with this series. Although it was an overall fun and decently enjoyable watch. It's kind of interesting to look at the first page ratings from 2008 all the way to the 7th page. |
| I think after 2 days of watching this anime, I could forgive yomi: '/ That first massacre prepared me to think that anyone could die, even the heroes. Even all the heroes ... but apparently the orange squad that we saw at the beginning, not even secondary, I thought that we would see some flashback of some history of them, but not (in some way the orange that died in the 1st cap knew who yomi was, that's why I thought) If I'm not mistaken, in Ga-Rei (manga) Kenichi (the one in the end) is the protagonist. And this anime is a GUN for manga Yomi fans who have not read the manga yet: do not read it. It will break your heart to see how much the sleeve fucked ... (But does not remove the manga is very good !!) That said, I'm a bit disappointed that I did not get to know anything more about the butterfly boy (and even more so for the fact that he did not die - I really came to hate him). However, I am aware that this is a prequel, so I did not expect a complete conclusion either. So I guess I can live with it. (Although we knew it was the son of the researcher who went to look for the stone in Rome, I think.that means he was probably possessed in a way very similar to Yomi). Nabu and hand-drills survived. Fukyou Noriyuki, back to his ways of womanizing. It started like shit, it acted like shit and ended up like crap ... and more .. LIVING !!!! DAMMIT! Yomi did not deserve that guy ... she's too much for him. I'm sorry for my hard words, but I can not happen to like it, not after what he did, well ... he did almost nothing anyway ... he's just there. I am still impressed with the amount of character development and action that could fit into 12 episodes without ruining the beat. The theme of the show was good, but the performance was even better. It's a 7/10 of me. "Will you kill someone you love, because of love?" Do not look back, pervert!   Yomi with a p90 (Those who play csgo understand) --------- Creo que después de 2 días de ver este anime, podria perdonar a yomi :'/ Esa primera masacre me preparó para pensar que cualquiera podía morir, incluso los héroes. Incluso todos los héroes... pero al parecer la escuadra naranja que vimos al principio, ni si quiera eran secundarios, pensé que veríamos algún flashback de alguna historia de ellos, pero no.(de echo de algún modo el naranja que murió en el 1er cap sabia quien era yomi, por eso lo pensé) Si no me equivoco, en Ga-Rei(manga) Kenichi(el del final) es el protagonista. Y este anime es una PRECUELA para el manga A los fans de Yomi que no han leído el manga todavía: no lo lean. Te romperá el corazón al ver lo mucho que el manga la jodió...(Pero no quita que el manga esta muy bueno!!) Dicho esto, estoy un poco decepcionado de que no llegue a saber nada más sobre el niño mariposa (y aún más por el hecho de que no murió - realmente vine a odiarlo). Sin embargo, soy consciente de que esto es una precuela, así que no esperaba una conclusión completa tampoco. Así que supongo que puedo vivir con ella.(Aunque supimos que es el hijo del investigador que fue a buscar la piedra en Roma, creo. Eso significa que probablemente estaba poseído de una manera muy similar a Yomi)-. Nabu y el mano-taladros sobrevivieron. fukyou Noriyuki, de nuevo a sus maneras de mujeriego. Comenzó como una mierda, actuó como una mierda y terminó como una mierda ... y más .. VIVO !!!! ¡MALDITA SEA! Yomi no merecía ese tipo ... ella es demasiado para él. Lo siento por mis duras palabras, pero no me puede suceder que le guste, no después de lo que hizo, bueno ... él no hizo casi nada de todos modos ... él solo está ahí. Todavía estoy impresionado con la cantidad de desarrollo de los personajes y la acción que podrían encajar en 12 episodios sin arruinar el ritmo. El tema del espectáculo era bueno, pero la ejecución fue aún mejor. Es un 7/10 de mí. "¿Matarás a alguien que amas, por amor?" - "Will you kill someone you love, because of love?" |
| The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list. The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story. |
| took long enough for Kagura to kill Yomi and that Noriyuki was useless I wish he was the one to die with her. The two year time showing him a fortune teller was disappointing, but the series overall was 5 nothing more( what a gutless man indeed). |

| Nearing a decade later, this anime is still memorable. Rather, Yomi is still one of my favorite characters. To date I haven't seen another character go through all the bullshit that she had to go through, and still have the character to endure the mistreatment and blame. It would have been fine if she just slaughtered everyone and ended the series right there. None of the other characters were even remotely likable. |
| So many Noriyuki haters...I honestly do not understand where all that hate comes from...just because he was unable and refused to kill Yomi? I don´t think I would have the guts to do it to the person I loved even if that meant saving the world. To see how broken he became after that event...I cannot possibly hate him. Yomi is still my fav but Kagura grew on me, one of the best hidden gems out there, I feel its underrated. |

| This was pretty good! Yomi has such a tragic story, she’s definitely my favourite character. I wish this anime had a few more episodes though, the pacing sometimes seemed a bit fast and I really wanted more details on the other characters. Also, that little fkn white haired kid pissed me off, I really wanted his story to be addressed, and for Kagura to wreck his shit. All in all though very enjoyable, if only there were more seasons. |
| Good ending. The second half of the anime was really really good. 7.5/10 |

| what a nice finale, wow i was surprised Yumi didn't kill Kiri and Jinguji, i'm really glad they are alive. i will miss Yumi ah Kagura, u looking good after 2yrs :) well this series was certainly a weird experience, watched because the main leads were girls but wow the plot was better than i had hopped...... |

| So they turned the long haired schoolgirl into a sadistic killer. But, she's not really responsible (maybe) so it's okay to indulge in the spectacle. Seems to me it's all just an excuse for edgy murder fantasy, since the people she kills are innocent characters you're supposed to like and she looks cool when she's killing them. (comments here make it pretty clear they just want to see the murder) Too stylized for it to be as tragic as it might want to be. Not a bad show though. Last two episodes were very engaging even though I was never super in love with the characters, which is pretty bad since almost all of the show was builld-up for that purpose. A prequel? I might check the manga out to see longer haired Kagura. Maybe. |
| A few plot points were left open, but the main selling point, namely the relationship between Kagura and Yomi was driven home with a lot of emotions at that. Tho I guess based on the title of this anime, Ga-Rei-Zero, the manga has still content beyond this episode? Or is it something completely different? Edit: Ok, after checking I realized it's an anime original prequel. Anyway, was already pretty good on it's own. An entertaining watch for sure and I'm even kinda euphoric rn considering how I wasn't really sold at the beginning. To anyone hesitant due to the first two episodes, I recommend to keep watching beyond to see what this anime is really about. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well the final fight was pretty good, I'm sure she didn't die though, but overall we really had to wait until episode 8 for the show to be actually interesting and good, the beginning was kinda boring sometimes... still a fine show overall 6/10 |
 |
| While Kagura finally decided to kill Yomi, I doubt she'll stay dead, unfortunately. It's likely that the sequel manga will revive her again. Kiri and Ayame also surprisingly lived, which is likely because the pain from the Bane Stone took effect before Yomi could kill them. All in all, a very exciting anime that intelligently subverts many common tropes associated with the action genre, without just subverting them for the sake of it. I still wish that the past and present episodes were switched around to better facilitate emotional investment in the viewer, but it wraps up nicely either way. |
