| Damn this really needs a second season with how this ended. Robin was an absolute scumbag. Maybe at some point in the past Kiroko had some kind of consensual relationship with Robin. The single flashback doesn't rly show anything except that Robin snuck into their room to fuck - which is weird, but doesn't mean it Kiriko wasn't seeing Robin at some point before that. But regardless now in the present dude had some random girl locked up and connected to a monster in some way. She was definitely raped and experimented on so yeah. |
| Such a beautiful ending to a beautiful season. It makes me slightly upset that Kiruko let Robin live, but it was satisfying to watch him get the shit beat out of him. And this episode was the first time that I started to really, genuinely care about the kids in the facility. And knowing that they all turn into Hiruko at the end just adds a level of heartbreak to the newly sweet and genuine feeling from these kids. Such a perfect ending to a perfect show. Truly a rollercoaster of emotions in this finale, from anger to curiousity to a bit of wholesomeness and intense emotion with Shiro and Maru's confessions, to happy that Kiruko and Maru seem to be somewhat back to normal and that there will eventually be a season 2. |

Radical_Orion said: Thanks, I'll come back to you later (probably on profile messages), I actually want to like this title since it's got many of my favourite elements involved 🙂Meritas said: Manga reader here. I think a LOT of mysteries were explained and resolved in this season, even for anime-onlys.little if any of the problems and the mysteries were resolved which is just very disappointing The issue is, it's mostly non-verbal (show, don't tell). And it requires multiple rewatches (I'm still catching new details after third rewatch) I've seen a lot of anime reaction channels on YT, people are confused and barely figured the different timelines... I assume that's because 99% of animes nowadays have to explain everything to the audience through dialogue/monologue exposition... I'm a huge fan, 9/10 season for me, but don't get me wrong, I also think the finale was anti-climatic as hell and not the best way to sell the manga. Rare L from the anime adaptation team. I'm curious. Please, would you let me know what are the mysteries that you felt unresolved/incomplete? I'd be glad to explain, only if it's explained in the anime, without spoiling the manga of course. |

| I'm so confused why they thought having Maru confess to Kiruko immediately after she was raped for 2 days straight on top of psychological abuse (having to watch in the mirror) was a good idea. "Read the room" is an understatement. And also why they just made her go 'welp can't be sad forever' and that's all there's to it? You mean to tell me Kiriko's body remembered what she did with Robin years ago, but fresh SA leaves no traumatic responses? Ok. I was feeling this anime but the way they handled that definitely drags my rating down a point. |
ShishiKami said: The important thing is not that Maru is confessing again but what he says next: that he would not have loved Haruki or Kiriko but he does love her, as a completely new person with a new identity. And that's actually what she needs to hear at that moment. It's particularly interesting to see that the mment she stops him by throwing the stone in the river is not when he's confessing again, not when he's saying she's a new person but when Maru says that he will protect her, since this would remove any sense of pride she has, what she thinks her usefulness is. And that means she accepts the rest, so she slowly move away from thinking she's Haruki. And that's why the picture we see in the water at the end is not Robin's, but Haruki's. It's him she leaves behind.I'm so confused why they thought having Maru confess to Kiruko immediately after she was raped for 2 days straight on top of psychological abuse (having to watch in the mirror) was a good idea.

| Great sci-fi mystery |
| I didn't like the final episode, too weak in Inazaki's story, although assuming it's still a road series, it was the right ending/continuation. The misteries are there but one day could be resolveD!!! 7/10 kekeke |
| This is how you make badly written-mystery anime. As someone who expert on Mystery and Psychology genre, i gave my final result on this flat mystery and one dimensional characters 5/10 for good animation. |

| That whole scene seems to have been made for shock value or because the author had no idea what they were going to do with it. Skimmed the manga and the pair just goes back to adventuring like they were doing before as if it never occurred, Robby never gets mentioned or seen again. Too big of a cognitive dissonance to start backpedalling after that. Too much wasted potential and character development, was a fork in the road and would've been far more interesting to have the show take a darker turn with Maru finishing it - instead it gets memory holed and things remain practically the same. It only goes DOWNHILL from here, my god what a waste... |
| Now what happened to him/her was certainly bad but I couldn't stop laughing when Robin kept trying to escape only to get put back in place by Maru and then smashed by him. The kids in the other timeline have reached civilization and this is, I presume, when the Great Disaster(I forgor the name) happens. Here's hoping for a S2 coz I want more of this. |
 |
| so maru is one of the twins of tokio. it also looks like dr. usami was shiro and the girl with him is mimihime. watching different timelines simultaneously is such a great concept. surely want to see what happens next. |

ShishiKami said: I think you would change your mind if you gave it more thought but I can't blame you not to want to. I get your point, but I disagee. To me it's awful execution. What even was the point of the rape. As for the point of the rape, I bet we'll understand why it happened later in the story. It is quite obvious that Robin does not simply do it for sexual satisfaction. As he says, it's an experiment. And he seems to be the guy to do very weird experiments indeed, the girl linked to a maneater proves it enough. |
| Usually i don't prefer a fuckin cliffhanger. But this one got a pretty big exception because yeah its deserve. Not much things got solve; Its 'just' Kiruko moving on from Robin, and accept her identity. Robin disappeared for whatever reason leaving those mess behind. First batch of children whose first get out of the facility manage to reach the nearby city, looks not good but hold some good adventure ahead. Tokio blood manipulation actually her hiruko ability? Then what's up with the shine, its not from her child or her my guess xd. And then, the very good part is, they really need some more confirmation for Dr. Asumi and the poor girl from 'Their Choices' episode mystery; its factually them, no more question out from me again. The fact that the basement Hiruko factually the black-glasses little girl also makes me quite shock too, even if its so frickin late. Holy shit, Mimihime really took the girl with her till her last breath xd. But yeah, i usually don't like this kind of double timeline. Its messed up my head so much. However, i still get how Heavenly Illusion surely illusioned me to not disliking it that much, by how they wrap up the answer slowly and steady. I appreciate that, btw. All in all, this is not the peak yet, but i like how structure of the story from 1st to 13th hook me in, and the world-building direction so far, its fascinating. Idk how the source looksalike, but i can reassure to spare a little time to take a look.... |

rvdboom said: oh you are right I only checked the chapter titles and thought it was a more recent one.Comander-07 said: Until about chapter 37.I definitely want to read the manga now, I had a quick look at the chapter titles to guess where to start and it seems this season almost adapted everything? I would advise to read from chapter 1 though. The anime cut some interesting parts (it's understandable, that's what adaptation is about) and many small details can be spotted again when revisiting the story. It's not that long either, so it's worth it. I guess I might do so after a while, I generally dislike rereading stories which I have already seen in anime form. Its like overwriting the positive experience and since I know what to expect its not even a great experience. |

Royalty459 said: I kinda wish we got to know Robin's motives because now he just seems to be a villain for no reason and it didn't serve anything other than shock value. Regarding Tokio and the kids, why did the teachers separate the Twins? Were they going to give one to Tokio and Kona? Also, are the kids the one who started the destruction of Japan? I kinda wish we had questions to this but I know everything can't be told in 13 episodes. Overall, it's a decent episode but definitely not the best. Dr. Sawatari knew of the Director's plan, to use Tokio's child to live on. He realized this and gave the clone to Tokio, so the Director could take the clone and the real one would later go to Tokio. Tokio doesn't understand this of course, and retaliates with the doctor too late to explain to her. What happens next, falls under manga territory. |

Dawizz said: Finally this divisive garbage of a show has ended. I would say good bye for good, but I know this filthy agenda pushing anime will be back for S2, heck maybe even with a S3 all because we have to push "the message" 24-7-365. And then the allies of the community when confronted by the fact that the acceptance of lgbt's is falling all around the board & the world they all make the face stupid pikachu face. With shows like this one I ain't surprised to see those numbers going down. Jesse what the fuck are you talking about |

Rob7 said: So..... - Events in the Tengoku Complex was in the past, before the end of the world, what explains why Maru/Kiruko can find a lot of products only 7 or 10 years older than the expiry date. - MARU = TOKIO/KONA'S BABY, the real one because he has special abilities. - DOCTOR = SAWATARI, the glasses guy. - USAMI = SHIRO, the nerdy boi who loves Mimihime. - MIMIHIME = Stayed together to Usami until her end. - ANZU = the woman who died after give Maru the Super-laser and gave his mission. - TAKA = ?? Robin?? - OONA (sunglasses girl) = the monster who was in Usami's underground parking I can't complain, this crazy plot was well written so far. But there's a risk that the next explanations turn it all a mess. It's not easy fir any author to asspull an agreable explanation when the bar of the misteries is set too high. Let's see, and let's go to the manga, as usual lol Just gonna say Anzu and Taka is really off. |
|
| While there are still questions left open (for which I hope a s2 will come), still great series from its animation to its Shinsekai yori-like story where I quite liked seeing the two timelines of the facility and Kiruko and Maru and figuring out how the two are connected (like for example Shiro being Usami and Mimihime the patient hooked up to the machines). |
 |
| Well... I wasn't waiting for this end. I am liking the way the story is going. I have no idea of what to expect for next season. Praying for a season 2. |
| i just feel depressed after thinking about all the various stuff that has happened till now. so much is yet to be explained too. why this isn't renewed for s2 already is beyond me. 8/10. |
 |
| And it all comes nicely together. Or rather just adds more hints to things we already could get, that is different timelines and who is who. Hopefully there will be another season in future, as I really wonder how Maru ended up alone and then met with that woman who told him about Hiruko - she obviously was from the facility too - and who she was. |
| Oh boy what a time to witness the industry. |
 |
| So apparently Mimihime and that guy was the doctor and his patient who died a few episodes ago. |
| It should have been at least a 2-cour back to back. Hopefully I somehow remember the plot when the second season drops, with such a convoluted story I doubt it tho. 9/10 |
| AOTS. Shame it was buried in the Disney platform and didn't come with the hype of other shows. |
| It's like I understood some things. |
