| Well that was an interesting episode. I knew that Kon was really Hishimaru, but it was nice to finally see her in action. Even though I like her loli form A LOT better. I was really hoping she would kill Ogre Eater...no one does that to my baby and gets away with it! The ending was kind of open, and I wish it was explained a bit more...but I'm pretty happy with it. I was surprised they kissed, I thought something would prevent it like in nearly every other anime. Also Harutora looks awesome now. Of course with his new look I definitely have images of Odin in my head. A raven on the shoulder, one eye, I'm sure that's what they were going for. All in all, it was a pretty good series! I think I'll give it a 7.5/10 but I have to round up on MAL so it gets an 8 from me! |
| hmm she looked kind of old LOL. i was expecting a younger, more beautiful face. she's like that girl from ghost in the shell. not my cup of tea. her younger version though... mhm. well in the end, good finale. it did its job making me want more but i guess, this is where tokyo ravens ends for me. i doubt there will be a season 2. oh well. sad that there will be no proper closure. any LN readers, want to give a summary of what happens so far after this episode? all the way up to the latest volume? thanks. |

| Quite predictable but not bad. This one of the better episode. Overall, I think I will give it 6/10. I want to give it 7, but the whole thing has not been solid enough. |

If you're here referring to the events of volume 10 of LNherrickluk said: someone explain why he leaves in the end... I'm pretty sure it's because the omnyo agency is after him for using "forbidden magic". No their after him for using TFR too, and Genji considers him a dangerous element if he not under their control. As Kyouko says, all these forbidden things are just from the perspective of humans. Genji wanted Yakou on his side so that's just what I think. I could be wrong but thanks for the correction.

| That's it? Did harutora revive natsume or not? The ending is so rush & it end like very japanese......well the action is very good in this ep although harutora kinda lose, thank god for mature kon & the other dude. Overall tokyo raven was fun but had a lot of problem in term of pacing 6/10. |

| This episode's really intense. The Kon part was pretty nice and emotional. Guess I'll continue with the novels. |
 |
| I feel like the ending could have used one extra episode. It's a shame yakou only appeared in one episode of the entire series. 7/10 - I simply didn't like how things were portrayed at times and the pacing felt rushed towards the end. |
 Another Sig WIP |
| Could have been a masterpiece if the show is longer and more things explained (for example they never explained what Imperial Pallbearers are). I read the LN spoilers so I know pretty much what's happening most of the time but it might be confusing for those who don't. Overall it's quite a nice action series with fantastic duels & an intriguing plot. 8/10 |

Suzu said revival was partly successful, what partly means is meant for you speculate. Dos the ending have spell everything out? Also Harutora has clearly gotten his memories back has two big reasons to leave, 1) being that he is a criminal now in the eyes of Agency for using forbidden magic, 2) To finish whatever objective he had planned to reincarnate for. I really don't see what's wrong with this ending, it's the best you can get for a ongoing work. It resolves what needs to and leaves enough open for another arc/season. |

| That kiss ending omg, and Kimi ga Emu Yuugure too?!??! There is no way this cant have a second season. Solid 8/10 for me, a very enjoyable watch. Really hope to see a second season! :D |
 |
| Wow, Kon's true form <3 Haha so now Ashiya is Jin's Shikigami XD. That kiss was cute,but not my favorite shipping,so Natsume isn't "fully" revived,what's that supposed to mean? a zombie? XP That was a nice journey, the second half is where it really shines for me though, 8/10 A S2 wouldn't be bad |

| hmm, the ending... So harutora's personality probably gone now with yakou's own...? I kinda like harutora. And yakou now blinded in one-eye then? So anime watchers like me are full of "???" with no yakou's further actions. for anime watchers, a little bit of unsatisfying. So if Harutora fully became yakou, his "love" for Natsume" would be faded or gone...?

heiqi1huMar 26, 2014 12:06 AM
| @heiqi1hu Well Harutora's personality did changed a bit but he still loves Natsume. You could say both Harutora and Yakou loves Natsume (judging by the romance scene at the end). That's why people call him YakouTora now. I can't really tell few things in this thread because mods could delete them here but consider Harutora's personality same as: -Isana Yashiro in last two episodes of K. -Yuuji Sakai from Shakugan No Shana Final Season Mod Note: A separate thread gives LN spoilers. |

| A natural spot to take a break and a very good final episode. As some folks have said, I think the prospect of a season two depends more on LN sales and marketing strategy than on just BD and DVD sales. The second half was better than the first, and it sounds like a second season would be interesting to watch although we still have a few LN volumes to wait on... |

| They managed to ring every single cliché bell out there. The whole series screamed "mediocre". The characters became boring very quickly, except Doman. Or maybe even Reiji/Shaver. The female ones were all typical annoyance material. Except Suzuka in the first episodes - only in the first episodes. The story was w/e, if you can't care about the characters, the story is already doomed. Forgettable OST. Ok animation; oh wait, it had this whole CGI overuse, especially early on..zzz 4/10 overall, could have been 4.5/10 if it didn't drag for half a year. |
| An average episode. Expected much more,.. Ιit's a pity they made only 24 episodes. ;-( |
| The ending sucked. Kon stopped being a loligitsune and became older (fuck Hishamaru). Harutora and Natsume didn't fuck (or something along those lines) fuck fuck fuck |
| What are you looking here for |
| I don't think there has been one anime with a good ending this season, and Tokyo Ravens is no exception. Sure, it seemed good, but a lot was left untold. What the hell does "kind of" mean? Now, if they do a second season, explaining this "who the fuck knows" ending, then, I could consider this a good ending to a first season. |
| Wasn't a fan of the series but it did have its moments so it wasn't too bad. 6/10 for me. |

Natsume's revival was a partial success. That's it. |
|
| I still like Kon's little cute form better than the badass Hishamaru. But I like the medium size Kon with longer hair (1st time she met Yakou) than the smaller one. Sorta pissed though that they revived Natsume. I mean it's good she's back and all that, but that just isn't fair to Suzuka who also wanted her brother back yet was interrupted by Harutora and Natsume. Suzuka is still my favorite girl here, next being Kon. It was a good run. 6/10 |

| Loved it. 9/10. Hoping for a second season because its definitely needed. |

However, that ending was a pretty poor way to go about things. The Light Novels are still ongoing so I don't see any problem. Volume 1 to volume 9 were Part I or Act I of the series. From Volume 10 we see Part II of the series and it has just started. The ending was no way poor because that's how Part I of the series ended in the source material but yeah..looks like you didn't liked the ending lol. |
|
| TR...Now that was an amazing finale! Loved it so much. The way Harutora's character changed and developed was brilliant. He's a total BA now :D The way he talks and his aura in general makes him spit out charisma all over hehe ^^ Loved the final scene with Natsume. Really cute scene and so beautiful <3 The kiss was nice too :3 Gonna miss loli Kon but Hishamaru was awesome :D And Kaida Yuko's voice fits her so much :) And Kakugyouki is quite the asset too. The last scene with Harutora walking while those 2 were on his sides looked so friggin BA ^^ Loved D becoming Jin's Shikigami hehe. That's an awesome combo. Harutora's friends deciding to find him was nice too. Suzuka is so Kawaii :3 Well this series definitely did its job right. Making me want to read the LN ^^ I want to know what happens after this. Good job. I can see why it made it to 7th on KonoRano. 8.5/10 for me. The 1st cour had its moments but the 2nd cour was really great :D |
 |
| The scene where Harutora brought back Natsume was surprisingly lovely, I fully expected it to be overly dramatic. When this season began, I put this on par with Strike the Blood in terms of average enjoyment but while StB got harder and more ridiculous to watch, TR only got better. |
 |
| Wow. that was pretty good :D. Kon finally matured :D hehe. And that guy finally came... Took like ages for hi mto appear for like 10 seconds just to save harutora xD. Nastume ^^. Hoping for a second season now :D |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| well, I could consider that this was good ending... overall 8/10 the action saved this anime imo. The story itself was okay but lack of detail (world building, character development, omyouji system explanation etc). I barely understood what happened... and I need more maririn XD |

However, that ending was a pretty poor way to go about things. There nothing poor about it. You supposed speculate (and come to your own conclusion) on what that means since it's intentionally left partly ambiguous. The plot does not need to spill everything right away. All you really need to know is that she is revived, but not without issues. It's answered and gone into more detail in vol 10. |
| I absolutely love the ending and hope season 2 will come !! |
| asdagfasdsasd -dead- That was such a cute ending for the anime~! It was a bit expected, but my heart literally stopped when Natsume tells Harutora she loves him~ |
| Do you like cakes? You don't like cakes? I like cakes. |
| Kon's so badass! Best finale so far for this season in my opinion. |

| kon and harutora were awesome the confession/kiss scene was cute overall this was a was good anime but confusing at times so I might read the manga and hope the full light novel gets translated soon |

| Liked the magic battle moments a lot, but disliked the romance just as much. |
 |
| do not underestimate a loli! hahaha, gonna miss Kon's loli form... :( so from the looks of it, its possible to have a season 2? I'm sure I'm not the only one not really satisfied with the ending...maybe it'll start reading the LN... |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| I really want a second season, even if only for based Hishamaru. Strong and mature adult women like her are the best. (Much better than moeblob cute girls) But the chances are incredibly slim :/ 9/10 overall |
| Had interesting ideas, just didn't execute them well enough. Characters were all over the place, it was hard to care about them when they threw that many at you. Just too many side characters too. I only managed to remember 10 characters and a few more based on quirks or voice actors. The pacing was the worst part tbh. They wasted a good amount of eps with filler and buildup/introductory episodes. Could have been decent, but it was just hard to enjoy. The action/mahou eventually bored me as there was a lack of explanation for the story. EDIT - Forgot to list the stuff I actually liked. I loved loved loved the architecture in this show. So unique and awesome. The buildings, bridges, landmarks and stuff were so nice to look at. samesdday said: They managed to ring every single cliché bell out there.

| Kon kicked ass Overall 7/10 |
 |
| yeah the ending was so so as for me it was as if they put everything they could in one episode end even though it was really nice as for action and all still seemed more like not finished - they put to much tooooo quickly i think or toooo late. The whole planning for the story was not that great and made it so "like we don't have time let's put every think in one part", and thats what the last episode was like. |
