Pretty decent final for this series I must say! While not the most unique and rather generic in general, it was still a lovely combination of harem, magic and slice of life!

So all in all a pretty solid anime if you ask me!

Great ending, but Musaigen no Phantom World was disappointing. There are some good point, like the girls who are cute (REINA !) and beautiful animation as always with Kyoto Animation.
I expected something better, the first episodes were not so interesting.

Haruhiko x Ruru kiss

Afterword Haruhiko goes super saiyan blue.

Anyways another mediocre show,nothing new for KyoAni 5/10.

Not sure why people were so surprised with how this turned out,this was equally as bad (or equally as good depending on you perspective) as say Tamako Market/Love Story,Kyoukai no Kanata,Amagi Brilliant Park and Hibike Euphonium.

I'm guessing a second season is unlikely considering this supposedly flopped hard and because of the dark turn this takes in volume 2 (unless they decide to go anime original which could be likely considering KyoAni is never that faithful with their LN adaption).

A complete waste of time. I can't believe I actually had any sort of expectation from this series just because it looked like it might be good. The entire cast of characters are built upon cliches and stereotypes, from their character design, right down to their personality, their reaction to certain event, and their action. What disappoint me the most is the fact that KyoAni has fallen so much. I heard that the disc for Musaigen didn't sell well, and I am glad, because they seriously have to actually try to write better than their usual typical fare, this was straight trash.

Kyoani is well known for its great animation, but sometimes I feel that they overdo the animation of the series, for example the hand-movement, a very typical of kyoani-type of movement, it's like they just copy it from their previous anime and insert it in their current anime. Their character design is also very uninspired, and the longer I look at it, the more I get irritated. The original model for every character is the same, for every anime kyoani has put out recently. If this is how they are gonna roll from now on, I am so not looking forward to the adaptation of Koe no Katachi.

The characters, especially the beta male, has a same personality of another beta male protagonist of another series done by kyoani, that's really unbelievable. Do the writers even have to try to write something good anymore? I could have written something better than that. The fanservice on the girls was distasteful. The harem was terribly soulless. The story/script was terribly pretentious when they tried to apply Schrodinger's Cat and whatnot. I couldn't sit through a minute of this series without cringing and face palming myself. Needless to say, if there was a second season, it's definitely not worth the watch, now that I have actually finished the first cour. What a waste of fucking time on this zero effort trash.

Like some have said, too late for plot bro.
The characters weren't too bad, they weren't good but they were fine if you developped them properly and inserted them in a good story, which this show doesn't have, the story was an absolute waste of everyone's time.
Episode 6 was one of the most boring episodes I've ever seen.
4/10, The animation was absolutely phenomenal Sasuga Kyoani, One of the cleanest and prettiest animations I've ever seen, Amazing animation wasted on a bad series, sad.

Albrecht with the skills XD and that Cthulhu could have soloed everyone there, damn :O
Ruru was born from haruhiko's loneliness and got his repressed personality.
Everyone gets their abilities back and Haruhiko finally reunites with his mom :'(

Enigma was just following nature's instinct :'(
8/10 I want a season 2 where she comes back and fights everyone again with all the other half phantom/humans and not what the novel turns into.

Now that I think about it, Ruru's wearing something what a female Aladdin would wear.

Well as for this show as a whole I do think it's good but it's barely at 7 in my score so yeah. It's kinda boring at times but it's not really a complete waste of time.

Wow. Guy has balls (and inconsiderate) introducing himself to Haruhiko. Also, while we don't know what Haruhiko's dad looks like, I can say with confidence that his mom downgraded.
Damn. Was hoping Mai would kiss him.
Ruru changed.
Stick that ass out Ruru.
Albrecht is actually the plot.
Enigma oppai so perfect.
Enigma so fine.
Koito booty.
Ghostbusters!
LMAO at Mai grabbing Haruhiko's face.
LAWD JESUS! DAT ENIGMA BODY! FAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAP!
Mai oppai.
Mai pantsu!
Lawd Jesus! Look at that leg. The flexibility.
Ruru was born from Haruhiko?
Haruhiko stop stalling. You're basically kissing yourself.
Oh shit! The summons worked this time.
The real The Dark One, Cthuhul, is here!
NO! Don't seal her. She's too fine to be sealed.
Haruhiko getting the girls now. *sees Mai* It was short lived.

This series was okay. Mai and Enigma were the best things about it. They're so perfect.

Free Enigma!

I feel like there should be a special after that with more aftermath. Ruru acting wierd at home, looked funny when she bowed down to them on her knees in mid air, crusing with the shopping bags and struggled pouring up the drinks. That kiss I should´ve seen coming because he had to get his power back somehow and he could certainly not cause Enigma any harm in that state and the rest was getting beat up.

He managed some badass summons at last. Only reunited with his real mother for only 30 seconds of the whole show feels a little wierd and empty now, it lacks a little more... I would´ve liked some more narration to cut pieces of the life after it all to really sum it all up. The end felt a little rushed in that aspect.

Oh well. 6/10. It was enjoyable (a 7/10 in terms of that), but not for any deeper reasons like story, character developments, drama and such... It´s a very stereotyphical anime with lot´s of clichés. I havn´t seen enough to be tired of it yet, but enough to know the old unoriginal patterns that makes something stereotypichal and cliché.

Best girls (for various small specific & shallow reasons):

1. Koito - For her personality and looks (silent, bashful, cute).
2. Reina - For her personality and voice (a sweetheart with a massive apetite)
3. Mai - For her looks and... Looks (yeah basically all girls are smoking bombshells, but the package on her man)

Edit: There is a special... But is it what I want it to be?

i was expecting that in there is a cliffhanger for S2 like they reveal the data to the media they still deny it & arrest the kids so next season they fight that corp i was thinking it will end that way, but considering this end i would say there wont be no S2 cause if it say's FIN in the end its a total end it means there wont be no Sequel

oo poor others Ruru got kiss from him & others didn't they burn from jealousy right new lol

@Rob
so what if she downgraded at least she has a man that is always there instead a man that is there only once a month or once a year what matters is that she is happier with the new man then she was with the old one, that's why i always say Career & family life don't mix together it destroys personal life & family life u can pick one not both cause its like oil & fire put them together & u get inferno only few Careers give u time for family, example if u open a diner compare to most other Careers u have a lot more time for family

First mom wincest and now selfcest. Is there any new ground left for this show to break?
Mai looked like she wanted to at least have Haruhiko's second kiss. Doesn't matter though, because she'll probably win in the end.
Why couldn't the rest of the show have been as good as these last 4 episodes?

So it ended in the usual way, the protagonist doing most of the work and the supporting cast helping. Though I guess there aren't many other ways to end a show.

Overall it was okay, the animaiton and art were beautiful and the characters were likable. Though the story did not manage to really go anywhere and some episodes were just boring. 6/10

Aaaah, a little inconsistent episode, at first they stood no chance of beating her, and now magically Haruhiko managed to beat her, according to him "growing up," while how did he grow while not having his ability? Big annoying eyesore flaw. Average show, besides the artstyle & animation nothing stands out, pretty enjoyable to watch though.

Okay but the plot twist? Nope.

Also, the anime was pretty different from the light novels right? Character wise and stuff. Also the whole episodic nature could have been good (like Saiki K. or Natsume Yuujinchou or something) but I mostly found it boring. I was like "??" and also "zzzz" haha.

Should I cry about wasting 5 hours of my life on this? Nah I've watched worse anime.

I think it had an interesting idea, but the execution could have been better.

Also I better stick this into my anime review.

I liked this a lot. I haven't read the LN and I had basically no knowledge about the show, plot, setting or whatever besides knowing it's about school kids fighting phantoms (and Mai's limbo dancing scene from a compilation video on Youtube), so I didn't feel any disappointment that KyoAni apparently did a original take on the story.

Lot's of asspulls though, but that's kind of what I expect from anime anyway.

Also, Kurumi-chan getting some confidence! Determined and ready for action!

So Haruhiko's current husband just showed up and gave him a book that supposedly was his favorite one, Albrecht is a talented phantom I must say if he can do those tasks

This turned out to be a serious episode as the finale and that was a good idea to end it off with an intense battle

Damn that kiss I didn't anticipate that happening that they can take powers as well, That was a nice way to end off the season glad that happened in the end for a more intense dramatic last fight


This was a good season but not very content-rich in the story this seemed off as a loose potential that it had since there was no visible progression in the story a very usual everyday task that they had to handle but damn the animation was so good in contrast and this was fun to watch as some might say and I enjoyed it.

Typical ending. So the only girl he properly kissed of his own will in the end was the fairy form of his repressed personality. Sorry ladies, he's taken.

Wasn't expecting to like this series at all, yet episodes 4-7 ended up being quite enjoyable. I avoided it all these years thinking this would be a totally soulless, desperate attempt to cash in on a trend, and while it kinda was, Kyoani clearly had a fun time playing around with the settings and the color design is top tier. Them keeping the fanservice to a minimum was much appreciated, else I might not have been able to finish. It wasn't as much of a slog to get through compared to Munto at least. Will never forget the loving Sylvanian bunny parents who almost convinced Mai to end herself.
