| What the hell just happened? Did this story do a full 180 and will now be about the "real" world that now has magic, cybernetics and is in ruin for whatever reason? |
 |
| uh, was that a black hole? and now he's back on earth? wtf? i'm going to miss the garden girls :[ |
 |
| Did not see that twist coming... :D Looks like there was an actual reason why we spent so much time in this world before his reincarnation. |
 |
goddamn, Highest playing for the end creds was so cool. really great action, thank you kazuya nakanishi and the team, you have moved me! what an episode, absolutely peak. |
| Defect! The word of this episode!!! kekeke AMazing season that ended with a great action!!! 3/10 cool! |
| RAAAAAAH insane finale. Absolute masterclass of a job adapting this volume. Shadow vs Ragnarok and Mordred ended up being even more epic than in the book. They dragged the fight out in the best possible way. This finale had everything that makes this series special. Whenever the first OP of a show plays during a big battle you know it’s peak. The over the top parody dialogue, the fights, the sound design, shadow just destroying people verbally and physically and some really cool lore. We now know about the multiverse and how these worlds sometimes collide with one another causing things to shift between. But that’s a two way street. If things are changing in this world, that also means the other worlds are getting affected too It’s very rare that an isekai actually shows the world that the MC left behind. Back on our original earth, we see that it’s become a hellish wasteland with magic and cybernetic enhancements. I am so excited to see this volume animated, it’s my favourite in the series and I know with the production values of a movie that Nexus are going to cook. Nishino is such a fun character, and beta learning Japanese through social media be great as well π Looking forward to those social media troll posts lol Only issue I have is they didn’t show beta chasing him thru the portal at the end. They saved it for the the shorts on YouTube I guess so make sure you check those out Thank you Nexus for this amazing job on not just this finale but the series as a whole ππΎ |

| Seeing Cid in space is great though i was looking forward to this happening only at like, around the very end of the story. Mordred didn't even stand a chance against the girls in the anime huh. And so it's back to Japan. Akane must look ridiculous to anime onlies since she is shown to have power now only to be kidnapped again like 5 seconds later. It's awkward, but getting caught IS her biggest quirk so whatever. It would be funny if they doubled down on this later and made her get caught even more often to the point Cid really snaps, but nah i know they only did it this way so the season finale would have a bigger "impact". It's a alright decision i guess though just showing Cid and Beta's reaction to being isekai'd would've been enough. |

I guess kagenou's original world collided with another realm and the influence is what we saw ? thr is also indication that cid didn't actually die and got transported ? I have not read the original source just speculation from what mondred said |
| a reverse isekai WTF!!!! |
| Finally the main Female lead I can fully admire is back. Ain't this the moment we waiting for... so glad I did not read the manga, it was totally worth the wait. Now in need of season 3 asap |

| WHAT?! He got transported back to his original world? (which is all weird now) Nuuuoooooo Gonna miss the Shadow Garden girls.....also surprised Cid just jumps in and kicks butt no question asks. Also surprised it looks like he still can use those "slime powers" (and I wonder if it affects the "slime powers" he gave everyone else now that he's "another dimension") Kinda hoping he'll find his way back but Mordred made it sound like the phenomenon was super rare/random plus the ring (that caused the "artificial gate" in the first place) broke... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Yeah the 2nd season was still entertaining but not as entertaining as the 1st season. I still think one day the story will eventually conclude with The entire story all being a figment of Cid's imagination. Cid maybe sitting in a mental institution watching some generic isekai Anime on TV while mumbling "I am atomic" over and over again. lol |
 |
| Ok this show has just transcended simply beeing "good". I was spoiled that he gets back to earth in this ep, I was not expecting earth to have its own apocalypse to deal with! "You are a rank even below delta" Highly unnecessary Delta burn! And a movie has been announced? Lets go! I just hope it comes ASAP because the usual delay between japan movie releases and us getting them is long enough already and might screw up a sequel season otherwise. Really this show is just impressive, its just so consistently good, I dont think I have ever experienced this. There is no single boring or bad episode. Every single one of them is great! and that leaves us with an overall great show! The studio certainly did its job well elevating this utterly ridiculous story to greatness by having great animation, artwork and sound design on top! |

| god damn. he has the most cringe persona ever. |
 |
| Holy shit I can't wait to see more of this, maybe I'll read the light novels or something cause I have so much fun watching this in a way that I haven't in a long time. Fight scenes are cool as hell, MC is such an extreme of all personality traits, and the comedy is just so good. Love it. |
 |
| I thought his ass was gonna pull a Kars on that Mordred dude by sending him to space for eternity lmao. Also, I wonder where they're gonna go with this. He's back to Japan now apparently??? Why does shit look so different now and what the hell happened in the real world?? Why are there lightsabers and shit now π I'm excited to see what they have cooking for the movie!! |

| Bro the ending was so crazy and perfect with the opening song from season 1 πππ I always wondered if he would go back to his old world and they actually did it. I'm so hype for the movie now π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ |
| Oh goodness! Shadow's now traversing dimensions. Looks like he's in a dystopian version of his original dimension. |
| Wow, I did not see Shadow going back to Earth and again rescuing the girl from the 1st episode of season 1 coming. I'm assuming the movie will continue where this ended and that makes me want to watch it even more. Anyway, I thought that this season was really good but I wish it had been a little longer as season 1 spoiled me with 20 episodes and this felt a bit rushed. Between the 2 seasons I liked season 1 more but this was still very good and I look forward to the movie and whatever else is made beyond that. 8/10 |
| definitely did not enjoy it as much as s1. the first few episodes were good though. can't believe this is getting a movie lol wtf. |
 |
OMG, what a great series!!! I can close December as very satisfying year, a delightful year, what a great series. No more words, stunning ending. |

| Simply amazing! I enjoyed every second of this season. I couldn't help but be anxious for next week to arrive and now I discover that there is a film confirmed. That cliffhanger at the end... EPIC. This is easily one of my favorite animes. |
