| Simple question with simple answer. |
| Yes, it has a pleasant conclusion. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| Yes. The sacrifice kinda comes out of nowhere, but the ending itself is perfectly coherent with the story and its message. This was the story of Takopi and it ends when he finally realizes the complexity of the human condition and his own impotence in saving everyone through his misguided attempts. He was instead able to help Shizuka and Marina by being there for them when they needed him, and the memory of his silly but benevolent company is what allows them to make the first step towards a better life. |
| Yes. I was perplexed at first when I saw yet another time rewind in the last episode, but the scar on Marina's face reassured me that it didn't literally "fix everything". A bittersweet ending that is very easily mistaken for an undeserved happy one. |
| yeah, it was decent ig. |
Re:Zero is Peak Fiction    |
| nope but not because it was bad or didnt like the result, but because it felt too rushed. like it was missing 1 or even 2 episodes between 5 and 6 |
| :v |
| Not really i don't like super emotional roller coaster shows to end with these lighthearted and "happy" endings it lost all of it's emotional weight in the last episode. |
| It was the best episode for me. |

| You're not gonna get a simple answer yes or no from me. Personally, I'm conflicted. on one hand, I really liked how Takopi gave up on them, by coming to terms with the fact that he simply cannot do anything to the children other than maybe make their problems slightly less bad. However, on the other hand. The way the ending was presented isn't the greatest. I saw it as the writer being forced by someone to write a happy ending, because of the Deus Ex Machina time travel and that everything just wraps up so quickly, like how Shizuka suddenly makes up with Marina seconds after she was beaten up by her, just because they happened to remember an octopus saying some silly stuff to them. But If you really want a simple yes or no answer, then I'll say yes. Even though I found the ending not great, it still gave me a satisfying conclusion to the series, and more importantly hope. Hope that these children will reach adulthood togetherπππ . |

Maybe because Takopi used his own vital energy? The other attempts used the magic devices solely, but this time, he had to imbue it with his energy.
What they haven't explained is why the boy has the glasses his brother bought him in the other timeline.
| @bluebluecat In the previous timeline, Azuma received those glasses as a gift after finally opening up to his brother about his problems. He also told Takopi that, if Takopi traveled back in time, he should tell him not to be afraid of talking to his brother. Him receiving the same glasses in the previous timeline shows that Takopi succeeded in getting bringing Azuma closer to his brother than ever before. |

| I feel like all the emotional build up and all the things that happened just... it don't matter in the end. Feels like it was all thrown away. So much changed but nothing changed at all. The ending feels lackluster and rushed. I was personally hoping for a sad ending but that said, I wasn't against Marina and Shizuka ending up as friends... I just wish it was done better. It was a good anime but the ending didn't live up to the rest of the other episodes in my opinion. |

| In short Yes. In long could have been better if it wasn't rushed. Compared to outstanding 5 episodes last one pales in comparison. |
| worst ending since dedede, an abomination |

| No, absolute garbage. While it’s kinda the happy ending Takopi wanted, the way it was done is lame, with “happy magic”: Mari-chan magically stopped with stabbing Shizuka in the eye because she saw a vaguely familiar doodle and they became besties, Azuma magically have started hanging out with the brother. No real actions by anyone involved, just deus ex machina. |
| Yes, I liked the ending. I've seen people complain that Shizuka and Marina becoming friends is "rushed and random" but I disagree. They don't become friends randomly, they become friends by bonding over their shared trauma. Incidentally, they ended up doing what Takopi was hoping they'd do the whole time and "talk to each other." We didn't need to have two or three additional episodes showing us Shizuka and Marina's friendship develop, it was fine seeing an abridged version from Takopi's POV. |
| No. I already watched another anime with that exact ending being executed once, and way better executed, with a better payoff. No, I am not complaining about if it was realistic when the series had a freaking alien that could potentially manipulate reality. Also due to everything that happened before, I found it unvoluntarily funny. |
