Nelia definitely needed help in this fight and luckily, Komari is there as an ally. This was pretty much the big climax episode featuring one grand battle in the end.

Interesting to see Milicent make an appearance in the finale too. Komari fought like a champ in this episode. Felt like a mini-movie for the season finale imo.

Finally my girl Nelia's time to shine.

Sakuna, pursuing Komari, arrived at the Dream Paradise with her allies. Furthermore, Nelia, having absorbed Komari's blood, triggered the intense core release, freeing the people imprisoned in the underground dungeons one after another. It seemed as though Madhart's plan had crumbled. However, in terms of military strength, Madhart, leading a force of five thousand Paradise troops, still held the advantage. Yet, in the Murknite Empire, the ultimate trump card, Komari's intense core release, remains. The final battle is about to unfold in the fortress city of Fall.

When I saw Gertrude take that right hook, it was like something out of a banned book – pretty shocking. I mean, we're in the Reiwa era, but still. Karen's strength really stands out. Back in the first episode, she seemed like a bit of a pervert, but now she's turned out to be the leader of a whole nation. The composer really nailed it when Komari unlocked her power. I thought Millicent was finally free, but nope, she took charge of the 5th squad. I'm happy about that, though; I thought her story was done.

And that combo move with Komari and Nelia teaming up against that annoying prick? Loved it. The voice actor for that dude is spot-on, and Komari's entrance and the awesome attack she and Nelia pulled off – that was something else. Seeing Nelia get a happy ending was a relief, and, of course, Komari's unit being true to themselves – gonna miss those guys.

The show was mostly enjoyable and a nice way to wrap up the fall season.

But here's a friendly tip for Project No.9: maybe don't bite off more than you can chew with so many projects in one season, okay?

Nelia, having drank Komari's blood, is powered by her Core Implosion, ready to change Faure and decimate Madhart's forces. Even as Gertrude repented her ways acting in accord with her brother with Nelia's strong multi-angle punch to her face, it's suicide facing the 5000-strong Daydream Unit outside. But as thanks, Nelia wanting Komari to drink her blood, she can't exactly drink in reciprocation despite being sisters taught by Komari's mother, though she willingly does to save the world and defeat Gerra-Aruka.

Sure, Millicent comes back as aid, but leaves Rainsworth to be dealt by both Komari and Nelia. But much from the fight on who takes the latter, Komari takes the cake for her godly powers putting him in his place, even though Nelia did give him a pep talk for investing his life of revenge on Gerra-Aruka. Although on the final stance, it's both Komari and Nelia putting an end to Madhart's domination, which was what Inverse Moon was aiming for in the first place.

Even as things go back to their normalcy...NOTHING is normal with Komari and her 7th Unit, especially with Vill, Nelia and Sakuna vying for the vampire's affection, keeping the Yuri bloodthirst alive.

A fun lil' show on the sidelines, ending 2023 in a good way.

The End.

Overall, an average show. Not a very memorable or something. I liked the first couple of episodes, but after that, this became a little boring.

In my opinion, this would have been better as a cute SoL/Comedy/Vampire/Girls Love, like Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san.

Well Komari and some of the side characters were nice the bad guys where mostly generic and some even boring the watch.
The blue haired girls was clearly made to be hated with her personality and the other bad guys didn't have any likable character traits either.
Than there was a the main bad guy who was just a coward dictator without any personality.

But Komari was fun to watch and some of the things surrounding her where good comedy and we all need a maid like Vii.

And so here is the last new anime episode of the year (I think). Happy new year!

Btw the Empress uses ๆœ• (chin) - "We" (Dated term, first person pronoun used by the Emperor) as a first-person pronoun.
So yeah, it's not that Komari's blood is special, it's just that Nelia's Core Implosion also activates by drinking blood.
Don't you just love it when they show a punch multiple times from different angles
Komari vs Rainsworth had some good animation damn
Yeah, this was totally a harem anime all along

7/10
This was fun, in it's own way.

Project No.9 had some production issues this season, and no wonder, with them making 3 anime this season alone. I really hope Tomozaki-kun season 2 next season will be given appropriate attention. I'm watching season 1 right now, and I think it's really good.

Also it was my birthday yesterday, but no anime that I'm watching aired that day lol

If I'm not wrong, this is the last episode of any anime that broadcast in 2023 in Japan. Which is not exactly a good episode to end a year full of many good anime. But at least, what I like from this anime is that thanks to the dark core, no one really died for real in this anime.

So in the end it was Komari taking care of things after all. Atleast Nelia did some fight too. Also looks like those moon guys were pulling the strings behind the scenes and wait so that guy was Karla's brother.

Was like an average show mostly with some annoying and shallow characters. Started off with some fun episodes but gradually became repetative. Also they really went and used the same plot multiple times in just one season and from what the queen said in the finale looks like we'll keep seeing the same thing in future too. Anyway I did enjoy Komari and Vill stuff, specially Vill. So if this gets a new season will be there to watch it.

EP 12

I'm already like, where is season 2

So its ep 12 and i only just realized. apparently there are two vocalists for the op. the ed is also by tomori/komari
I think it says something when I've rewatched the whole anime like once or twice already

I have to say though, out of all the anime this is the one im hoping the most to get a s2
I wont deny that the concept of komari is just so good, its not flawless but.
Also komari is a great girl and we need more



I did start reading the first novel, though I'm only a few pages in. I've already noticed some differences (mainly because words is words, while the anime conveys things a bit differently)

One thing they never answered though, if dying is so painful why do they actually do the wargames? shrug

Also apparently even before the anime started airing there was like some events already being held. its confusing sometimes

Honestly im gonna be really sad if we dont get a s2 and they're like "haha guys go read the ln"

My opinions for the whole series
Its almost flawless, there are some flaws here and there, as well as the usual stuff, adaptation syndrome, exposition, etc.
We have ep 1 and 2, then there's big whiplash in ep 34, then back to ep 56. ep 7 and 8 arent as dark, and sakuna is introduced from ep 5. then nelia and karla are both introduced in ep 9.
Ep 9 -12 as a whole just feels very different, its like they suddenly stepped on the gas
Komari, vill, sakuna, nelia. you could say vill got shafted a bit lol they even reference that in the story. there's also miss empress karen who's mostly sitting around in the background, which is both a bit fascinating but kinda strange.

Soo what was i saying again? uh. i mean really its quite clear as to how it is. the plot twist at the end of ep 4 was a thing i guess.
Komari obviously has to carry the whole anime.
While i'm also not really happy that vill got knocked out for most of ep 4 and ep 8. sakuna doesnt show up until ep 5, and she's quite cute I guess.
Its just really strange when you look at it that way.

EP 12 turned out to be a leetle different from what i expected, its actually less bombastic than ep 4/8 and had tons of talking, but the implications are quite curious if/when we get a s2

It's kind of funny how despite all these flaws like, I still feel like komari made the whole anime. Kind of because it is true.

Let's hope there are season 2, it could include Karla and maybe another harems.

BTW, Komari warblade core implosion version similar Fate/kaleid Illya. Illya and Miyu using Saber Card againts Berserker. And the last one definitely Excalibur when install Saber Card.

things feel so rushed in these last two episodes. Well, still an enjoyable final.

surprised to see Millicent again.

glad to see Madhart get executed by Nelia and Komari with a giant gold sword.

and in the end, I think Sakuna is still the creepiest girl in Komari's harem. xD

will watch a second season.

@CocoaGalaxy About why they didn't know Komari's power. I think it's because they thought Komari plant the Bomb. Floete was one who thought Komari cheating using Bomb. That's why after Nelia and Karla Arc which she sight with her eyes, her attitude to Komari be bit different.

Great finale! what am I gonna do without my lesbian vampires every week ๐Ÿ˜ข

Nelia’s powered up form is so bad ass. Loved seeing her get some shine. They tried redeeming Gertrude’s brother at the end with the sad backstory, but meh. Even his sister thought he was human trash ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพ‍โ™‚๏ธ

Unlimited Blade Works? Man Komarin’s powered up form is so badass. Never gets old.

Speaking of which, during that scene Komarin tells Nelia to move while she’s in her core implosion form so that means she’s developed a little bit of control? Like before she would just go crazy and kill indiscriminately, but her attacks today were focused purely on Gertrude’s brother and the enemy president at the end.

Evil mommy dommy Millicent is back too! In charge of 5th unit and kicking ass. Nice to see her get a little redemption arc

Need a spin off following white haired Yuuki Aoi voiced waifu around. She was only on screen for like a combined 45 seconds but I love her already lol

Aw I’m glad Nelia got to be reunited with her father!

And that ending with Komarin and her Yanderes surrounding her is perfect. She’s built up a really nice harem in just 12 episodes ๐Ÿ˜‚ . I love how Sukuna is just worried about making sure the only person who’s had Komarin’s blood doesn’t get killed by Vii lol.

I’m gonna miss these loveable idiots so much. We have 12+ LNs to read at least!

Gotta love it when an anime that clearly has more to it's story has the word "END" at the end of the last ep. I feel for those who love this series and wanted more to the anime, but that, doesn't seem likely. For me, the 1st ep sucked. I almost dropped it. Ep 2 and 3 convinced me to continue and while am glad I watched to the end, I might not bother if this ever gets a 2nd season which, again, i doubt it will considering the END word in the bottom right corner of the screen... at best it might get an ova if fans are lucky, but am not even expecting that, much less a 2nd season. Really shows and very telling when the people in charge decide to put the END word in an anime... I dunno how to feel about that personally because sure, that'd let people know don't ever expect more, but it'd also kill any hype I had for the series that end on that under these same circumstances, usually they don't bother with putting that word there or the other FIN unless its done and over due to no more story to tell.

In the end, average series.

I thought this finale was pretty good especially the final scene with Vill, Nelia, and Sakuna hovering over Komari. I also liked how Nelia's servant Gertrude was given a 2nd chance but not before getting punched in the face for her misguided betrayal. Speaking of being given a second chance, Millicent made a brief cameo.

Regarding this series as a whole I liked the mix of comedy, yuri vibes, action, and even a decent storyline. The character designs were also good but unfortunately the animation was so-so. 7/10

Yeah, same old. She went super saiyan and obliterated the bad side. Now that does raise a question, why didn't she do that earlier? I mean we could've saved casualties and a lot of time. But then again, logic and reasonings were never a part of this show, so... let's just accept whatever they shoved it on our faces.

Anyways, this poor finale kind of summarizes this series. Could have been a bit better if the characters were less annoying, but no. Glad this ended and we didn't have a potential sequel lined up. Let it be that way:)

I'm shocked by how decent this actually was. Adaptations of series like this usually end up being pretty bad or mediocre for one reason or another, but this was pretty solid. That honestly probably has to do a lot with Komari suddenly being revealed to be a murdermachine after a few episodes of bubbliness. Kind of gave that similar feeling you get from the a good genre-switch certain shows pull on ya. It's a shame the source material is a LN since I feel it'd work infinitely better as a manga, but I'll probably check it out regardless.

Art and animation def took a hit this episode. There were moments these characters were talking and their mouths were not even moving!

Story wise it was kind of all over the place as well.

The show was a lot of fun, sure like with so many shows it had a pretty strong start but this one kept me entertainer until the end, it is a shame about the quality after that one delay, but at the very least it didn't become as bad as it can get.

It would be such a waste for this not to get a second season.

The conclusion of the last episode was fantastic and happy, and it was comforting to see Neila have a happy ending.

However, Komari is at least beginning to control her strength, and having Neila by her side allowed her to make peace once more.


Finally, this program was fantastic; I rate it a 10/10 and can't wait for season two. If not, there will always be manga.
