Well this anime is over but I feel like there could of been more they could of done for BEM as a character. He blends the line betwen a human and non-human even in the final episode.

Sigh, it's too bad I think the amount of potential for the show was there but wasn't enough to to bring out its best.

At the end of the day they only wanted to belong somewhere and be part of humanity, that's all. Kinda painful, but I understood why they wanted to be humans in the first place.

I guess Madame died a happy death, because she seemed satisfied since lived so long. She only wanted someone to put her out of her misery, and was really tired of living for an eternity. That was great action at the end, I loved how they cooperated with each and were able to seal her in order to protect the city. Those guys were more humane that humans for me. I also liked how Bela found Harazy a home in Summers. Speaking of Summers, she was useless and worthless to the end!

Overall this wasn't a bad series, in fact I actually enjoyed some moments of it. But as a memory's sake, I couldn't say it ticks that box yet, but maybe if they do a sequel or something. Animation wise and the music it did well, the pace became tedious at some point making it hard to engage with the whole series and the characters. But on the enjoyment part, I wouldn't say I was ecstatic about tuning in to the show, but I still say it wasn't that bad.

6/10.

Well, it was hard to tell as to what has become of the 3, but this is where it ends.

Sure it was kind of rough. The animation wasn't always too good, and a lot of stuff was rushed and should have been more expanded upon. But the main trio was very likable and I really felt sympathetic for their quest, and doubts about it, to become human. It really makes one appreciate humanity more. 7/10.

Quite underwhelming. Half the plot points were wrapped up extremely quickly and most importantly the blindfold gravekeeper never made apparent why does he even exist in the series. Quite, quite a shame.

I didn't know there's alternative version, but I'm very likely not gonna watch it.
I'm kinda like this one, really hope there's more to it. 7/10

Good characters and premise but the story was pretty weak. I wouldn't mind seeing a better-written reboot of this.

Well, this was a massive disappointment for me. It was rushed, lazy, and boring. I really only enjoyed the first three to four episodes. 4/10. The characters were insufferable as well.

Would have liked to see more on the monsters, like how they came about, if there's more than 4, etc. A lot of wasted potential, but I believe the characters, art, and sound made up for it.

While I can't say I'm satisfied, I will say that I really enjoyed the series.

7/10

Quite the underwhelming finale to end the series.

Madame has been thrown into the depths of the ocean but I wonder if that's really enough. Harazy left to Summers' watch was really nice too, imo. I feel like the other villains, possibly the doctor a non-human too, didn't get any closure of sorts however.

I think only the first two episodes were fairly enjoyable but the show got incredibly stale from then on. Characters were pretty boring to be brutally honest and the animation nothing really to write home about, although the action choreography this episode was a drastic improvement and that was good to have. Op/ED themes were about the best features of the show for me.

4/10.

Harazy got the best ending it seems. I doubt the main 3 are gone but it would have been nice to get some better explanation of Vega's sealing. "We gonna sink you", can't she swim or what? lol.

Talk about wasted form, it looked way more menacing in the opening but at least we got to see it in some action lol.

Started pretty average to me and ended similarily. Not a bad show, but not a good one either. 5/10

I feel like the creators wanted to tell a lot more story than what they managed to tell here. I wish this had more episodes so that it would have had the chance to slowly develop the plot and characters. Well, sadly, even though I did enjoy this, the story wasn't strong enough, so I can't give it any more than 6/10.

Had this been longer, there would've been a story to tell, but given most plotholes that this has, it wasn't enough and felt haphazard at every step of the way.

If there was any redeeming worth, is Harazy's involvement with Bela, both in monster and human form, in the end, leaving her to Summers for protection. As for the counteracting enemies (ESPECIALLY that Dr. Recycle) didn't really get any proper ending whatsoever. Guess when sacrifice was just too much to wing.

For Madame, the issue is to resolve Bem of her own ideals, but Bem isn't buying it to fulfill his wish of becoming human, same with Belo and Bela.

Seemingly wrapped up like it never happened. Truly a waste of time for everyone involved in this.

Yup as ppl said it has more potential and also the Vlindfold guy, many things
In this anime is messed up but in the last one it gave vibes of another season or may be specials.
Cuz its clear the cannot die so as trio and so as Madame.
Btw Madame was become more beautiful/sexy when she turned into her real.

That ending made zero sense. How does falling into the water solve anything? They are immortal. It would have made more sense if they somehow trapped her and moved her to a remote location where they sacrificed themselves blowing each other up keeping everyone safe in the process. What a dumb ending.

Madame's final form was cool. And fight choreography got decent in a few fights, like this ep. At times a severe lack of frames, like Cop Craft.
Belo & Bela episodes were mostly interesting, balancing all the other blandness.
Upper/Outside, humanity themes, immortality, ego etc, there were interesting themes explored, but crushed by wasted potential on everything. Annoying retarded characters, disappointing Sonia - fake mc who's just pov, Megane creep that went nowhere (but maybe added to Bela's humanity acceptance). Circus arc that had elaborate premise that just fizzled.
At least music & some designs were nice.

This story leaves many loose ends, but I must admit that it was entertaining and this was a great and exciting end, at least for me. If only all the episodes had been this good, this anime would have gained more fame. Anyway, it was not the best of the season, but it was good, this episode was worth following the series from the beginning.

The fight was great, better than most generic shounen these days surprisingly, especially the teamwork, choreography is good

Still just a slightly above average show tho 6/10

I gave it 5 and that is based on the first 4 episodes being really engaging.

The end was a dumpster fire. Like Madam would not be able to get herselkf out from under the bridge...
