At least it ended, this show was painful to watch, it destroyed the game so much.
At least there was Satan and Lucifer, oh and i didn't expect arioch.

Overall 5/10 what a shitty adaptation, it was like whoever did the anime hated the game.

IF they want to make it like digimon, it will be one hell battle between satan and lucifer (asuming they are their digimon).

Maybe it will more the battle of opinion, about what future world should like. I can see why some pure anime lover find it amusing, rather than gamers like us (or anime based fight lover) expecting is more digimon battle like.

I think we just miss the "one hell of climacs" for this story, maybe it already been thrown up in the past like "IO arc" or "Alcor arc" and it just be the closing of story.

Maybe later (if i got the dvd) i will find it amusing watching them marathonly.

Decent anime. Also played the game a year ago.

I find it funny that they choose they show up 'Demon Fusion' on the last episode.

1 anime down!

I was hoping Devil Survivor would become extremely badass from the first episode. Unfortunately, for me, it just went straight downhill. The plot was extremely predictable up until the very end. I guess the only reason I decided to stick with it was because of my Digimon nostalgia. Although, Devil Survivor definitely was not as good. Overall I'd rate it okay, 6/10.

And yes, I did predict that Yamato and Hibiki would remember each other.

If it is extremely predictable, I presume you guessed every single death in each episode correctly then??
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Quite a generic ending like those other video game adaptations. Not that I should complain though. Mediocre series. Enjoyed it at the least way possible. Not Memorable though 7.5/10 rounded off to an 8.

I as well think the ending was really good. Very Atlas. Hibiki crying sounded terrible even though it was arguable the most significant part post reformation.

Although the ending was a nice following in line with survival and the struggle of life the anime itself was a little ho hum.

Much like Persona 4, the game is better than it's anime adaptation. 7/10 because it was good and the ending saved it.

This anime bored me so much, everything was so generic and almost every single character was annoying in a sense. The animation and VA's were good, I liked the OP and ED too, but overall it was pretty meh.
The ending wasn't that bad, but it was too melodramatic with Hibiki crying like a little bitch because humanity has a will to change! Not saying that everyone has to be a nihilist to the core like me, but I just couldn't but laugh... overall 5/10 for me.

Well that was a mediocre ending for a mediocre anime for me.

I really just couldn't get into this anime. I liked the set up but it could have been much better.

the main reason I didn't really like this was because I didn't really like any of the characters, they just seemed dull to me and unmemorable, like who were half of them, why should I care about them? I didn't really care who died in the end.

Hibiki felt far too forced of a main character for me as well. He was a normal kid, who was given power, so he instantly felt he had to save the world all by himself, constantly pushing his friends aside. His break down about Yamato at the end also felt forced.

Not the worst anime I have seen, but disappointing overall.

Not a bad ending, although the series as a whole I didn't like so much.
More OP attacks, if you consider it a fight. Not sure how everyone's demons made it to Hibiki, it wasn't explained, I believe.
After that, the ending was pretty satisfying, we know the general direction it leads to.

As a whole, I didn't like this series that much, but it wasn't a waste of time either.
I think my favorite characters were Ban and Jungo ^^

Ah. I don't care if a lot of people hates or dislikes this Anime. This had been good for me. It was good at first, boring at middle, then back to being awesome specially at the last 4 episodes. From my 9, to 7, I'm back to rating it as 8.

But DAMN. I am already expecting that restorer ending. Seriously. Then Hibiki said this crap about how the world Yamato thinks of creating is sad, and then I thought Hibiki's gonna be against that restorer ending.

AND THEN "your friends' demons arrived" and im like hOLY SHITS GONNA GO DOWN.

It's nice to see the demon fusion, because well, they needed to seriously show it. NICE TO SEE LUCIFER! But ahh, that part where Hibiki hugged Yamato. UGH.

And then when they showed how everything repeated again, I thought no one remembered anything and stuff. THEN HIBIKI STARTED CRYING AND THEN AND THEN JUST NO. YAMATO'S REACTION TO HIBIKI. JUST NO. NO NO NO NO.

This ending was great! But damn, I wish to see more of the other characters. Like, seriously. You know, I really wanted to see each of their stories properly. Airi was so pretty. Ah, my babe. WHY HADN'T THIS BEEN A 24-EPISODED ANIME. WHY.

Oh, Alcor. I am still weeping for you.

But honestly. This show just had a lot of potential to be so great. If only it had been longer... If only it wasn't so rushed... If only there were more side stories... The effects of their "death" wasn't that much coz you can't get that much attached to them since you didn't see their lives and such... unlike with Nitta and Daichi, I guess.

I need fanfics.

Wow, cue the yaoi fangirls, cause they will be all over that whole Hibiki and Yamato fight.

Satan vs. Lucifer? Dayummmmmm.

Okay, so Hibiki's wish was to rewrite the world...and it looks the same except no 7-day trial since they just went through one. Wow, that was a fucking awful ending. Maybe the game was better, but I was expecting Atlus to have put better thought into pacing and fleshing out the story with what they were given.

No one else but Yamato remembers what happened? I can see the same thing happening all over again in the near future, didn't seem like anything changed.

At least this show had a great soundtrack; freaking love the OP and ED songs.

Lol I dont know why so many people are getting mad about a predictable story, there are lots of anime like that, I it was good and interesting and good battles and character development imo. The only complaint I had about the final episode was that Hibiki summoned Lucifer and Yamato summoned Satan, which is the same thing because Satan is Lucifer, should have used Michael instead. Well its over now, I enjoyed it see you guys later

Dat Hibiki ass pull. I wouldn't even have minded it that much if they followed up with an epic battle, but no, they just slowly floated towards each other and hugged; it was so anticlimactic. Though at least the ending was a happy one.

The strongest point was definitely the op/ed. They are possibly my favourites for this season. Overall, the series was just immensely disappointing - the Kotoura-san of spring.

I love this series, even though it didn't follow the exact formula as the game it was still pretty enjoyable since I love the DS 2 universe and it's characters.

If only they would've being more episodes for more character development since it's mostly the point of the game, getting to know and develop those characters through the madness of the end of times.

8/10 for me and hope more games I like get animations :3

Persona =/= demons SMT, those are different powers since you can only use Personas to fight shadows (except in Persona Trinity Soul anime - which was a mess). They have the same form because Persona is also based on mythical creatures.

Oh and there is 1 "messiah", Abel, but he is the main character in Devil Survivor 1, and that guy would kick Hibiki's crybaby ass easily. I mean...he had to fight the Gate of Babylon!!. They should have animated the 1st game though, it's much darker and has more epic endings (Become ally with Cain to dominate the world with demons/ Japan uses demons to have the strongest military in the world lol)

I'm referring to the fusion demons/persona/whatever you called them in SMT universe.
