| So Shin teamed up with his allies to take on monsters in the season finale, but not before encountering a familiar face in the past. This was just lazy writing imo, although I didn't expect much. We got action, fighting, and the usual New Gate stuff. Episode felt rushed too as I felt like they could've built this better. Shin also got some more moments with Schnee. A very forgettable show imo. |

| Shin and Rionne reaching Valmer and being alerted about the incoming monster horde of a flood, at least they have time to act before calamity strikes. Both adventurer and princess making their various reports, informing both the army and the adventurers guild would help make haste for preparations. Aside from that one Meow Land store, Shin bumping onto one of his friend's support character of Berett, and realizing that his friends of Hibineko, Shadow and Holly are all well and alive in the future. That, and much more in Berett's list for former players...plus PKs, which Shin is hearing this for the very first time, he's equally as surprised. Going to see the Lord of Valmer to discuss on how to deal with the flood, Shin, Schnee and Tiera ready for the attack...which is clearly doctrinated by an event boss, meaning that they have a way to deal with it as per the game's standards. As for the rest under Rionne's leadership, they look like they're gonna hold up well, and both Wilhelm and Lacia coming in for assistance...hoenstly, they don't even need to be there, since Shin can do an all-kill by himself as a high human. As much as both Shin and Tiera dread Valmer's ceremony, they have no choice but to do it, giving Shin his only harem time with both Tiera and Schnee, the latter being clearly jealous of his relationship with Rionne. There is a reason why Schnee withheld her PK information to Shin, though that's of the past, and he forgives her easily without any reservation. And even though Shin has a crush that he still remembers, Schnee clearly has adored and lived him all the same. Oh thank God we're SO done with this show, so frustrating and boring at the same time, testing my mental limits. |

| It was a decent finisher of the season, not really my best isekai watch. |

| It was mid, but damn I really did like this show tbh lol. The waifus were great and I loved the harem antics with Shin. If it had better production values, it could’ve been so much better. The story is still lacking, but it was hurt by just how bad it looked at times too. That said, I loved this finale. Horrible animation during the defense of Valmer aside, they finally gave us some direction for the story. Other players are still out there and there’s even player killers? I highly doubt there’s a second season, but things could get interesting later on. I’ll give the LN a read because of how much I liked the girls. Speaking of the girls, they looked amazing at the celebration party, but OH MY GOD SCHNEE!! “I won’t give up. I love you” that’s how you end off a season with all this romantic tension, a proper confession! Shin is crazy for wanting to go home and leave what he’s got here behind. Needs a big slap to come to his senses. The Marino bit is interesting though, if Shin had another player he was in love with it makes sense why he’d wanna go home.. I wonder if she’s still in this world too? Could make for some even more interesting drama It was good to see Cu… I mean Whilhem and Lacia show back up in the finale too, been so long since we saw em I forgot about them. Good end to the series, could’ve been so much better though. |

My face while watching this episode. |
| And so we end with the revelation of more players and player killers, fighting off a flood of blue skeletons and a giant eyeball monster, a party and Schnee's love confession. What a half-baked way to introduce some important new information right at the end, huh? Did we know he loved that other girl before this and I just forgot? Well it doesn't matter. I won't watch a second season of this even in the unlikely event it does get made. Probably the most generic and forgettable series I've watched in a long time. With often poor art and animation. Just look at the faces in this finale! The only real positives I have regarding it are it never actively angered me despite the mediocrity, and of course Schnee, Tiera and especially Rionne's big, beautiful tits. It COULD have been better if it were an ecchi harem-esque show with those three, really leaned into the fanservice, but probably not by all that much if I'm being honest. Generous 5/10 and the worst show I watched in the Spring season pretty comfortably. |

| The animation is actually amazing, how bad it is. |
| holy shit what happened to the animation in this episode lol. it looks horrible |
Glad the anime is over, hopefully they don’t think of making another season… I’m good with just a manga adaptation 👍🏾 |
| And it's over. Art seems to have taken a dip this episode, where it looks so janky that maybe interns drew it and were planning on fixing it later on the BD discs (which I doubt will be very popular). The characters, despite having more life now that the game is "real", still felt like NPCs they were originally made as with how bland there were. Felt like nothing noteworthy happened all season if I'm going to be honest. I would have liked more development in the harem with the princess if they wanted to go that romcom route, or Shin actually facing challenges such as facing off the PK-ers or something more substantial instead of steamrolling everything with ease. Not the best series ever, but not the worst by any means. A decent time waster that I don't have to think too hard about or immerse myself in to fully enjoy, so it's for those reasons that ironically, I found myself watching this series first while eating or have some time to spare, and putting all the other better series airing at the same time on-hold on the to watch list. I could just turn my brain off and put this on in the background, watching it passively. Overall, a 6.5 (rounded up to 7) out of 10, which happens to be the same average this series is quite aptly rated as. A very mid-series. Maybe the manga will be a better read. |

HUH? What the heck is this bro... |
RomanceAddict_Jun 29, 2:30 PM
| not a bad way to end the series, but they left it quite open for a possible season 2 that may or may not even happen. |
       |
| The story was good, as the characters, but the animation was appalling... poor budget and quality by animators... the manga is better. |
| Well I feel kinda bad but, i don't think we will see anything from this anime in the future RIP |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I've watched a ton of trash in my life, and this was about as close to a dumpster fire as possible. I cant rate it worse than a 4 because that puts it way too close to Pupa, which is HOT garbage. The girls were very cute, MC was a dog turd, animation was horrible, music was low mid at best. no power scaling, low effort fights with zero consequences, just all around trash Best male was Wilhelm, best girl was probably that Tiera chick. a fantastic dumpster fire. 4.2/10 |

I get that it's been replacement animators for most of the show, but they really phoned it in this episode. I wondered if they would try and at least put on a best effort for the finale, but this was probably the worst animated episode of the season. This was astoundingly bad. |
| He's using a curse equipment to fight the flood and nobody is dead :) |

| Even for a final episode, the animation still sucked. It's so bad, I'm crying out of my mind! 😭😭😭 Instead of splurging to get even a decent ending, they didn't, disappointingly. SMH I had high hopes for this series as I was really fond of the manga, but they just made this final episode rushed. The battle of being RED should've been more cooler as it was supposed to be longer than. The soldiers was so weak, that they couldn't even follow Rione in battle when someone said to follow her, and instead of helping even once, they stayed in the rearguard...?! What the heck is wrong with the studio doing this series? I'm definitely disappointed. 😬 I guess rushing it just to get to the part of the party is nice and all, but even the escorting of two beautiful elves was so appalling, that I had lost hope of this series ever getting a 2nd season. Did they even tried enough? Sigh. Another favourite series got trashed. At the very least, the scene of confessions were great. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Random episode thoughts: - So we got a fantasy version of The Flood from Halo? Nope. Just another generic horde of monsters. - I see Laughing Coffin from SAO managed to establish their own branch even in this game. - As usual, Shin managed to one shot the monsters with his cursed weapon. - Who on earth is this Marino chick? The series' equivalent of Asuna? - Not surprised that Schnee managed to get a kiss before the season ended. ------------------------------ Overall series impression: So the series budget finally went into the negative, with all the potato faces going about for the final episode. Forgot sakuga fights when the animators couldn't keep up with showing at least decent faces for the main characters during the finale. An okay-at-best series. Felt forgettable at times. It probably could have been at least a good "turn your brain off" action series if it weren't for the apparent lack of budget. Die hard isekai fans might get a kick out of this one. But I can't recommend this to anyone else. Isekai haters, steer clear of this one. I'm going to probably check out "The old Gate" sometime down the line. Yeah. The one with the JSDF. |
They literally gave up.    |
| I can't believe how much this series deflated from how it started. The plot was whatever it was coming out and in the visual part the amount of scribbles was such that it already hurt me to see it. 6/10 |
| Another generic isekai with animation that makes your eyes bleed. ┐(‘～`;)┌ |
