| D-Did I like this? I honestly don't know, I'm so conflicted right now. Goto's story actually made me close to tears. It's really sad how broken he became. I loved the beginning but I was fine with King Torture, the aliens made me roll my eyes though. Kiniest said: I might just follow in Kiniest's footsteps and make this unscored because I cannot accurately judge my feelings on this.That was both the worst and best thing I've ever seen. Everything is Flamenco. |

| I think I'm in agreement with the above posts. There's probably no way I can give this a proper score, actually the 2nd time I've done this. I can say this though, I had a good amount of fun watching this. It was one crazy ride and I like how it all came full circle. |
| 10/10 This is one of the anime shows that I would call "avant garde". It is so bad that it is so good. Definitely, one of the best in 2013. Love GotoXMasayoshi. |

| Yeah, I barely have anything to say. While watching that entire ending, it was unexpected as fuck (like all of Samurai Flamenco). My face was a mix between a retarded grin and a "what the fuck" face, because I had no idea what was happening. First, I thought Masayoshi was about to make out or have gay sex with Haiji, but then he asked Goto-san to marry him. Seriously, this whole scene was so bizarre, that I have no words. The first half was alright though, I felt bad for Goto-san and what happened with his girlfriend. I'm actually more curious on how the bus driver and his girlfriend went missing then anything else. |
| The first half of this episode was great, watching Goto go crazy from grief managed to build up some emotions, and I really do feel for him. Plus, Haiji deleting the messages and trying to transform Samurai Flamenco was a brilliant move. I also understand the reason why Masayoshi got naked, and said what he did. The marriage proposal seemed kind of odd, a bluff of sorts to try and get Goto to realize that his girlfriend wouldn't want him to be acting the way he was. (At least I think it was a bluff) Then we get a nice epilogue scene, with a fantastic final few seconds, with the exception of Goto still texting himself... This series was a wild ride. I really liked the first few episodes, then it went nuts, and while I was confused at first, it was still a really heartfelt, heartwarming show, that had a lot of interesting things to say about heroism. There were some definite flaws, but I enjoyed watching it all the way through to the end. I loved parts of every arc, and some arcs I loved the entirety of. So I'll give the series an 8/10 (Plus it gets the added bonus of being an incredibly memorable anime!) |
| Thank god this nightmare is over. Anybody else still hoping this a dream and he wakes up in a OVA. |

| god that last episode was a nightmare |
| Damn it wanted a Gotou Mari at the end but there was nothing. Cant really say i love this anime after the gorilla shit. The final arc had plot holes like how Haiji committed all the acts almost simultaneously. At least both OP and ED were good. ED were great and MMM did a great job for both. Final score 6/10. Dont want to remember this but i probably will considering how everything got whack. |
| Superb. This is the first anime that I gave 10 points during the first few episode and 1 point in last episode. Seriously WTF is that ending!!?? |
 |
| 22 Episodes with almost weekly plot twists. I loved it 10/10 :D |

This is some very weird stuff. Favorite BL-inspired animes. My list is complete! 1. Samurai Flamenco 2. No. 6 3. Gankutsou 4. Free! 5. Tiger & Bunny hahaha.... We completed the same list. :P |
| That beginning was unexpected, but nice yet somewhat disturbing. Crazy switch flipped. "Goto let's get married!" WTF XD How many bakas was that? That seemed super short for some reason. Seemed like a bro ending to me, to bad Goto didn't lose his crazy :/ I really feel for the dude. Well this was one hell of a ride and I enjoyed every minute of it :D |
| Samugay Flamencock? Would buy. Although the super sentai arc did bore me out afterwards, the whole thing after it already made it up. Would've been one of the best but was still sweet. Well, sweeter than some I'm still seeing right now and finishing. *cough cough* nearly every anime of Winter 2014 |

Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| It seems that you will either: LOVE or HATE Samurai Flamenco. There is no middle ground. This kind of show divide opinions. |
| F0XFIRE said: OP 4 most butthurt bitch on MAL. |
| i still don't know who texted Goto in the ending did he found his gf? new gf? :o |
| uwu uwu |
| What in the fuck? Did Masayoshi and Gotou get together? O>O!! I fucking hope not but the last bit seemed to indicate that though O_O, so is Goto still nuts? Was hoping he would get together with Mari.. This finale was even more terrible than the retarded plot we had, and I was hoping we'll actually get to see what happened to Gotou's gf... Show went from 9>7>5 and with the finale 4/10. Should actually give it 2 or 3 but the first half was brilliant T_T |
| 10/10 |

jimjameswhatever said: Kurowned said: DarkDooM2 said: Are you kidding me? Homo end, really?? Not only that, but we don't even get to know what really happened with Gotos girlfriend? Fuck you manglobe. 3/10 and a big fuck you PEOPLE. LISTEN TO ME. Before saying it was gay as hell or start shipping gotoxhazama, read this. What should masayoshi do? He had an enraged friend and a psychotic kid to deal with. How should he deal with what he doesn't understand. Love. What should he do? Being more crazy than them, of course. What did Haiji expected? Being part of Samurai Flamenco backstory, being killed by Goto and turning into a mental scar for Masayoshi. What he got? A naked Masayoshi trying to "love him" . "Man, this really isn't in my plans" What did Goto expected? Some speech about life, love, forgiviness. Masayoshi can't do that, he didn't had the same emotional burden to knew what goto was feeling. Remember, he didn't had a batman's past, he couldn't care about his parents because they died very early in his life. What did he got? A marriage proposal from a naked guy who had a gun pointed towards him. This is so ridiculous that you start see reason a bit. Goto was able to see that killing the psycho kid would hurt masayoshi, even goto himself would be hurt by killing the guy. That won't bring his girlfriend back. Why did Masayoshi do those stupid things? He had to shown his feelings towards them. But in a way to really make them understand. Of course that Masayoshi loves Goto, as you love your best friend or brother. You care about them. What i'm trying to say is: The scene itself isn't gay. Maybe Masayoshi will go out of the closet one day (maybe he really loves goto that way), but this scene isn't gay. 8/10. good. shit. I think this show has it's "phases" if you will where there are different ways we view what a hero is/should be, as well as how some may see what hero means to be. I think what pissed people off is the fact that while the plot revolved around the same people, the message kept changing, but it was always about heroes. I think this show has glimmers of brilliance but ultimately it wasn't well executed enough to hold the attention of most people. 7.75 / 10 for me THIS. The only other problem it had was the excessive fujoshi baiting, specially in the end. Sure, it was not gay per se, but it could've been handled differently to achieve the same results. It was that way to lure the fujoshi, which is ok for me (they need to sell), but that was just too much and took the impact of the scene away. For me what I watched was the producers trying to cater to an specific audience too much to sell. And for that specific audience was probably: OMG Gotoyoshi kyaa! Even though the message itself was good. Secondary characters were also given too little thought and there was not much character development. But I do like how Goto kept texting his girlfriend and she didn't show up. Even though there was a lot of fantasy, Samumenco pretty much was saying that heroes can't solve everything magically. Not as good as I hoped, not as bad as most think and not as gay as it seems. |
| This was hilarious. I loved this anime. |
| I wonder if all the people lamenting the BL ending reacted the same way at MarixMoe. |
 |
| Now that this anime has ended, I'd like to know how a normal teenager could teleport ._. (Retardness superpower?) Masayoshi was trying to turn gay? Seems legit. |
| That was the most hilarious and crazy ending I have seen but I really enjoyed it. It was super unexpected. The lots of baka, the "proposal", the virgin talk, the naked stuffs are the very highlights.. I'll probably re watch this last episode several times in the future just for the laughs. What a ride. .. |
| Nice Three Some! |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| THe first half was ok, but second half is boring. 5/10 Tiger and Bunny is miles better than this. The two can't be even compared. |
| FINALLY THIS CRAP IS OVER! I wouldn't even care about this if it had started shitty, but instead it was a freaking huge trainwreck, which is even worse than a show that is bad from the start. The director clearly had no fucking clue what the hell he was doing. 2/10 |
 |
| All in all I quite liked the show and really didn't mind the shifts. That said I think I would have liked it even more if we either didn't get the shift in ep 7 or we still got it but the stuff that happened was even darker and less random like the last 2 episodes were. I'd really like to know what actually happened to Goto's girlfriend. Did she and the bus driver run away together? did the bus driver kill her? did someone kill both of them? Not knowing bugs me. |
| The serie has had some loops but I really liked to watch at all :3 It was a little weird, but different story. However I want at least an ova or a second season because I still want to know about the disappearences (masayoshi's parents, goto's girlfriend...)!!! |

Even if you don't like the show, it's clear it was very heavily thought out. Oh, also: GOAT, AOTY, AOTS, best fucking thing ever out on television. |
motrya said: Achievement unlocked: WORST ANIME I'VE EVER SEEN! 2/10 or 1/5. Haruhi has spoken :) Anyway I learned a lot about love today: Love is Patient Love is Kind Love is getting naked in front of your arch enemy and proposing marriage to your psychologically disturbed cop friend who is holding a gun. Throw in an infinite of bakas, a couple of hentais and we have a beautiful Samurai Flamenco conclusion. |
| ... Anyways :P The ending was kinda confusing. Is Goto-san still getting messages from his dead girlfriend, or does he have a new one now? And if he is getting messages from his dead girlfriend, how can she be sending him texts from Nicaragua? Did she hitch a ride on a ghost plane? Anyway, a bizarre, hillarious and highly entertaining to a bizarre, hillarious and highly entertaining show. 8/10 |
mbdsquad said: portgas123 said: I paid attention to the anime and I'm fully prepared to defend it against ignorant people like you, who don't pay attention because they watch too many shitty series at once. I can't take your opinion seriously, sorry. Sleep a bit, evaluate your life choices and come back when you get smarter, maybe we can discuss this amazing show then. Clearly, you watch too much crap and thing that it's the way anime is supposed to be, and when something throws you out of the loop you hate it for not catering to your expectations and comfort zone. Samurai Flamenco is not just another anime that comes and goes. We should celebrate the fact that somehow daring works of art like that still coming to TV. They are financial disasters, but at least they get made because people who made them believe they are doing what they want for the sake of art. Samurai Flamenco will be a cult classic for many years to come, I will be watching it regularly and remember than in the year of 2014 anime wasn't fully dead. You're still drunk. No one is attacking your girlfriend. Maybe if you stop being a paranoid smartass, we could have an objective, flame free discussion. But guess what, you're drunk and can never stop hating people who have negative opinion on the anime. Oh yes. Death Note, Black Lagoon, etc. must have shittier storytelling than this anime. Comfort zone? Nah. Maybe you should start looking on my anime list and tell me whose got a comfort zone here? You or me? Oh wait you have 0 animes, 0 profile, 0 avatar. What are you, again? A homemade account from the anime staff? Oh wait that's going too far lulz Lol to everything you just said. It is true though. I dealt with the same thing with Kill la Kill's conclusion when I mentioned a few things that could have been expanded on. However, annyone who says anything negative about Sam Flam gets an immediate rebuke from the fans - "you don't get this brilliant anime," "its a thinking person's anime," "you are all too blind to this work of art and its stellar writing." - I get it all the time. This anime was filled with plot holes, plot twists, and seemed like the writers just threw a bunch of ideas into a hat and when they wanted to do next step they just went to the hat and pulled out the idea. Granted, there were some excellent themes about growth, reality vs. fiction, heroes in the real world, being blinded by ambitions, psychosis...however, the people who attack people for having a negative opinion on this show are just ridiculous. |
| It's weird. Some people here in MAL just hated it. But the internet bloggers is singing their praises in the internet.What a difference of opinion. |
