| Damn, Harold's desire for revenge really hit him hard. This is the most emotional I've seen from him this season, or at least with Echika. Feels like this episode isn't just about the case itself but how these two react to the events that happened around them. It was an emotional season finale imo. |
 |
| Echika having to go against Harold, now in his full revenge form against Napolov, seeks to finish what he started by atoning for Sozon's death, with Napolov's for all the suffering he was dealt with. Even then, Echika wants him back in one piece for concerned people like Darya, and although the police managed to catch Napolov, it's the Brain Dive that allows Echikda to sink deep into his mind and understand how Napolov's movement came to be through his violent upbringing, and how Harold has always been close to the Nightmare all this time without his knowledge. Thankfully, it's Nicolai who got saved by Harold, but it's by no means investigating modified Amicus robots from Novae Robotics, as much as Tosti and Lascelles is involved. But this case will not be easily resolved, not without both Echika and Harold continuing to work together and solving cases from here on out. The adaptation sure took a route that might sound feasible in the 2nd half, but the 1st half is totally wrecked to the point of the anime being unsalvageable. |

| Even though this series had a ton of issues and was an awful adaptation, the last 4 episodes or so here were amazing and this finale had me on the verge of tears. I wish the whole season would’ve been done with this energy because you can tell this story has a LOT of untapped potential. Echika and Harold’s standoff was incredible, thanks in large part to phenomenal performances from Hanakana and Ono Kensho. They were amazing throughout the show, but this confrontation was where they shined the brightest. The raw emotion in Echika’s voice as she begs Harold to listen to reason, the pain in Harold’s voice as he begs Echika to allow him to make amends for “letting” Sozon die.. it’s amazing. Also shows how truly human Harold has become that he’s willing to do things that defy logic to satisfy himself. Being selfish is inherent to human nature. Not saying Harold was wrong to be selfish and want revenge, but it’s by nature a selfish act. An act I fully supported him on. Even if Sozon didn’t kill Sozon(wtf moment btw), he still killed a ton of innocent people and was an irredeemable, incurable disease that needs to be purged from the earth. Plus he literally offed himself a few minutes later so Echika might as well have let Harold do it to get Abaev’s revenge at least lol. A lot to critique this show on but the OST is not one. The track that plays when Echika shoots Harold is NUTS. They had some bangers here. Also didn’t think she’d actually shoot him holy shit. Echika telling Harold she wants him as a person, not cyber inspector assistant is a confession in my books btw The brain dive into Napolov’s mind was absolutely incredible. That’s another one of the things this adaptation nailed. I got physically repulsed when we saw Sozon telling Shubin all those lies to get him to be his fall man and how he planned all the murders 🤢 Now I’m wondering who tf killed Sozon because Sozon was bragging about this being better than Sozon’s murder and seemed to enjoy tormenting Harold... guess we’ll be reading lol. Also finally got a lead on Lascelles so there’s some interesting plot lines running concurrently. Love the ending so much, Harold wearing Bigga’s scarf, meaning Harold won’t be living in the past anymore and will start to move forward with his life, no longer shackled by the pain of Sozon’s death. Sozon wouldn’t want him living in sorrow and regret forever. I love the little bond he and Darya have going too! Solid finale for a disappointing show overall, but i know the books are good and I’ll be reading them. |

| I know everyone is saying that this is not a good adaptation, but I personally did not notice anything major. There are some details that are not explained very well in the beginning of the season, but by the end I had barely any complaints. I also like the that they are dancing with the idea of AI and how close it can be to human intelligence, especially Neural Networks (black boxes etc.) It's almost fitting that both this and Metallic Rouge have the same score, as this is basically my Metallic Rouge of the season. I feel like I am the only one that enjoys this series as much as I do, since I always see at least one comment about how bad the anime is. Without reading the source material I can only rate this as a standalone piece of work, and, through that lens, I think an appropriate score would be: 7.54/10 |
| Seeing Harold cry was heartbreaking..never expected that. He wasn't able to show that emotion when Sozon died. But he was finally able to.. The twist that Napolov was not scum enough to kill Sozon was little comforting. So he must have genuinely felt bad for being one of the reasons that inspired his copycat that led to the death of Sozon. That must be the reason why he stopped his killing spree after that incident. So this Lascelles case is still going on and it must have some connection to this copycat killer who killed Sozon, right!? Chances of season 2 looks very slim but I would love to see it happen. |

| @gorkthe134th I too loved this adaptation ❤️ |
| I really have nothing to say, this show was legitimately a challenge to watch. The characters just felt so shallow and overall it was really boring. Its only positive for me was the music high 3/10 |
| the art and decent animation and cyberpunk genre put this one in the low 7s high 6s for me. but the truly craptastical police procedural writing errors, dumb choices on-screen by the characters (due to not enough internal monologues), and noticeable bad storyboarding decisions... as well as those freaking scissors in the background of the house's garage where Echika and Nikolai were being held... definitely dropped this one down to a 5 for me. a source reader HAS set me straight though in the Forum thread for Ep12... so the novels (at least their opinion on the English version) are better and the adaptation into anime is the problem... but i certainly hope the LN Author didn't use the Japanese word for cylinder from that quote the source reader used... semi-auto pistols don't have cylinders, revolvers do. just goes to show that even printed novels with professionals working on them screw stuff up. if this one gets a S2 i'll be HIGHLY surprised... but if it shows up i'll only be watching to see who really killed Sozon, if they catch the Tosti/Everybody dude, and if Bigga gets her chance to interface her software with Harold's hardware. ;> heh! and Chief Totoki's cat. :D hah! maybe it will get a new studio that won't suck? |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| I liked the anime. It kept me hooked until the end. I particularly liked the scene where Hieda shot Harold, can't put my finger on why, but I really liked it. Seeing Harold cry was sad too. I do hope we get a second season some day, the story is good, and with Sozon's killer still free, there's potential for more! |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| I watched it all the way through mainly because I like seeing things through to the end. The series had a lot of promise, but unfortunately, much of that went to waste. One of the biggest letdowns was how it skipped the proper character introductions that, from what I hear, the novel provides. That alone undercut a lot of its potential. On top of that, the characters often made unbelievably dumb decisions, which was incredibly frustrating. It's not the worst show I’ve seen, but it definitely could have been much better if these flaws had been addressed. I’d give it a 5 out of 10. |
| Pretty solid ending to this Nightmare of St. Petersburg arc, and the finale of the show. So Echika did end up shooting Harold, I mean she pretty much had to, but I really liked their face to face moment as Echika talked Harold out of slicing up Napolov, probably one of the best scenes in the show. And I’m ngl, I was expecting Napolov to get up for one final battle while Echika and Harold were having their moment, I mean they had their eyes off of him for a very long time lol, but thankfully he stayed knocked out for the moment to play out. Once all that was said and done, we got one last brain drive which gave us a pretty big reveal that while Napolov was the Nightmare, Sozon was actually killed by a copycat, so Harold almost threw everything away for the wrong guy, dodged a bullet there, oh wait he didn’t because Echika shot him lol, eh he’ll walk it off. That is a really interesting reveal tho, also the fact Napolov was actually upset that Sozon was killed, didn’t expect that but I like that it adds some depth to Napalov as a villain. And the last moments of the episode were dedicated to some good ol’ fashioned read the LN bait, I’m intrigued on where this Lascelles plot line goes but I don’t know if this will ever get another season to find out unfortunately, but I’m glad we ended on one last scene with Echika and Harold at least. And that was it for the “2023 if we had brain chips and robots” anime, sorry if that’s an uncreative alt title lol, I couldn’t think of a good one. I picked this one up because I missed having a good sci-fi show in my anime seasons and they are usually the ones I skip, well I gave this one a shot and stuck it through to the end, but unfortunately it ended up being not as great as I wanted it to be, and this was evident from the very beginning when they skipped the first volume of the novels, like how was that a good idea lol. And with it starting out on a bad foot, it never quite reeled me in either, there were episodes that I thought were a cut above the others, especially the last arc which I think is easily the best of the show, but that did not save the show for me sadly. That being said, I did still enjoy my time with it, I found it to be a nice chill show to end my Wednesdays on, the world really was an interesting one with a lot of potential, and boy did the brain dives look really cool. And I’ve said this in other posts already, but I think Echika and Harold are definitely the best part of the show, a robot and human relationship isn’t a novel idea or anything but I thought what they had here was well done, and it would have been even better if we saw the beginning of their relationship, so I think I will miss them now that the show is over. Another thing I’ll miss is this OP and ED, show may not have hit with me very well but those songs are fire, I’m glad I checked it out just for those tbh. And I guess if this got another season, I’d watch it, I do want to know what’s up with Sozon’s real killer and of course more of Echika and Harold, but I also wouldn’t be upset if this is it for the anime. |

| Finally managed to see this, and I have to say I'm satisfied with how they adapted volume 4. I was actually concerned they might change it and have Napolov really be Sozon's killer to make it more conclusive, but I'm glad they stayed faithful. The scene where Echika shoots Harold was a bit too much though, and it's sad they didn't show them walk toghether in the sunrise. Still, their main scene and the dialogue with the parallels with Sozon was good. If only they started from volume 1, this could've been a great adaptation. As things stand, a season 2 is extremely unlikely, which is pretty sad for me as volume 6 is amazing and I'd really love to see it animated, especially the ending. For anyone who enjoyed this series even with its flaws, I highly recommend reading the LN, it's good and things actually make sense. Hopefully volume 7 gets translated soon, I need it :D KiliianSleipnir said: a source reader HAS set me straight though in the Forum thread for Ep12... so the novels (at least their opinion on the English version) are better and the adaptation into anime is the problem... but i certainly hope the LN Author didn't use the Japanese word for cylinder from that quote the source reader used... semi-auto pistols don't have cylinders, revolvers do. just goes to show that even printed novels with professionals working on them screw stuff up. I see you still haven't recovered from that xD. I guess there weren't too many errors in this episode at least... except maybe Napolov somehow having a pistol to shoot himself with, even after being unconscious and surrounded by the police. Yeah, this went exactly the same in the book so I can't defend it :D |

| @Tithain yeah, that bit where Napolov got a gun... made zeeeeeero effing sense to me. thanks for the reminder!! i totally forgot about that bit as i was writing earlier. when that shot went off it caught me totally flatfooted! here's why, if you look at the OUTSIDE overhead view of 'the shack'... what's it look like to you? dam busy right? lots of cars, officers, the 'Your Forma' Augmented Reality holographic police tape they've been using since ep1 is setup all along the edge of the grass where it meets the roadway. to me as a former LE officer? that's a 100% secure scene. they've been there a WHILE... not just getting there! so why was Napolov STILL ON-SITE!?! nobody i mean NOBODY leaves an injured suspect/subject on-site long enough for the entire scene to be secured. i'm guessing Harold's memory and visual data would be enough for evidentiary purposes, since he is a possession/employee/device of the police. if not, few fast shots with Echika's police issued cellphone camera of Napolov as he sat against the wall, enter those pics into the evidence chain, Echika needed to search him, bind his wounds with 1st aid bandages so he doesn't bleed out till the EMTs can secure Napolov, and off he goes to hospital under guard after the EMTs stabilize him for transport. sigh... yet another dumb DUMB way to do something on-screen. yeah, the cylinder thing still makes me grumpy. ;) oh? that scene in the book was pretty close to how the anime showed the gunshot? the anime mentions in a convo... beside his hospital bed? i think? right before Echika and Harold Brain Dive Napolov?? how the guy grabbed one of the surrounding cops' gun n bang. but in the anime the 'bang' happens AT THE CRIME SCENE... ughhh... either LN author or the anime staff messed all that up... sigh... |

The book says "Napolov had stolen a gun from one of the officers leading him out of the basement and shot himself in the head. The other members of the city police who were there had failed to get the gun away from him, and the bullet had caused a major wound in his cerebrum."... which implies they were escorting him out without handcuffing him or restraining him in any way, and, like, that's preposterous. So while most of the other screw-ups were the anime staff's fault, this unfortunately is the author's. It's clear Napolov had to do this for the narrative to move on, otherwise he would've probably blabbed and revealed Harold's secret, but it definitely could've been done in a believable way, like, I dunno, maybe he shoots himself while Harold and Echika are arguing? I guess you'd wonder why he doesn't shoot them instead if he manages to get the pistol in that situation, but they could've used the same explanation, he did it because he knew he had lost and didn't want to show his memories nor rot in a cell.

There are 7 volumes of the LN so far, yes, but the latest one has yet to be translated so I can't say much about it. If they ever make a second season, they should honestly do a flashback arc and adapt volume 1. Then they'd need to end on volume 6 which... might not be ideal, but so be it. |

| @Tithain yeah, the author REALLY messed THAT up. getting Napolov to his FEET??? WITH A GUNSHOT TO THE THIGH?!???? efffing A no. nonononono! ohhh mah gawd... every editor that touched those LN... needs to be fired and blackballed. period. i understand LN are aimed at the 10-year-old to 18-year-old audiences and some folks over 18 in Japan keep reading them as they get older. but... no. nononono. you do NOT pick up ANYBODY stable enough to PUT ON A GURNEY and be carried out after stabilization by the EMTs! Napolov isn't bleeding out on-camera... so no arteries or veins were hit... both were in and out GSWs (gunshot wounds)... so he's gonna leak, a LOT. swelling and such will contain any non-major blood flow leaks... 1st Aid and pressure bandages... stick a saline IV in him to keep him hydrated and hemostatically even to prevent shock... they weren't shotgun blasts with buckshot or huge caliber pistols like a .50 caliber 1/2" across... so Napolov isn't immediately DYING right then and there... this is quite frankly, with your reports from the LN side of the writing and us watching the anime... a double-team effort to screw up so. so. SO many things. \facepalm/ the potential was there... but... \sigh/ yep. i'm still right. Ghost in the Shell is still the best cyberpunk police procedural anime ever. 'Your Forma' is earthworm crap compared to GITS. there were little moments of interest i had in YF, the Luddites, the androids, the AI ideas with Harold and his brothers, the Tosti program and that one girl using it to influence the public as E/Everybody idea that dovetails into deepfakes and datamining influencers of public media etc. today. but everything else about 'Your Forma'... yeah... this franchise... needs a new studio that can take the... trainwreck the LN author wrote and fix it properly. not MESS IT UP even more! |

| I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Napolov badly hurt in the middle of Harold and Echika having his dramatic moment, trying to stop Harold from doing something reckless and killing him. Still, it was a great scene to show some humanity in an Amicus, with that tear from Harold. Still, I think this anime could have had a lot more going for it, but the pacing - and perhaps the adaptation itself - kept me from fully enjoying it. Napolov was arrested, but many things were left unresolved. Sozon's real killer was nothing more than a Napolov impersonator, and the case was left up in the air. And everything related to TOSTI seemed equally unfinished. In the end, it all came off as an incomplete ending, and I doubt we'll get another season, and I think I heard this was the definitive ending. It wasn't terrible, but it turned out to be a real disappointment. Still, I never skipped the ending, it was too good. |
 |
| My 326th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| They still did not find out who the culprit is.... Damn. what a bad cliffhanger. |
| Wasn't bad. Wasn't amazing. Interesting setting and setup, and my only confusion is why people found it so confusing. I believe the LN readers saying they left a lot out, but it was perfectly coherent. The biggest failing was Echika's character. She never came across as all that competent, and if her real value is the brain dives why send her out on the field at all? If you're going to have a character mess up this much at least make them a brash type. Maybe the LN made more sense of her. |
| this is one of the worst anime I have ever watched , I regret ever picking this shit up, the author should be ashamed of himself for writing this garbage |
