What a total shit ending. Hell, having kuroneko die and him ending up banging the hot vegetable chick from now on, would have been a better ending than what was shown.

This season is beginning to be as bad as last season. Anime start out decent, then commit anime suicide in the final episodes.

Nothing wrong with rushed endings. Who cares. It's done with a purpose. I'm not that type of person who judges the whole series by its ending, it's just stupid. I liked the series, despite seeing Kazumi and Hatsuna alive at the end makes no sense at all.

I would love a season 2 to help me understand more. There's also hints and a lot of things were left open ended. but even still, that ending was not a good season finale.

Seriously, why would they adapt an anime and stay true to the source material up to like episode 8 and then completely flub the last two episodes. With the way the series started, I was very surprised that they lightened up on the blood and gore...

I mean, when Hatsuna (already explained to have recovered from melting) and Kazumi were killed by Valkyrie, they were pretty much destroyed



Kana being a total badass:


That and the amount of destruction that was lacking from the ending...

One of the biggest trainwrecks I've seen, 5/10 with a chance of being lowered.

I mean, it was ok until episode 9 or so, but then they started rushing things so awfully..., anyways, yeah, it was pretty terrible.

It wasnt judged by the ending , it was judged as a whole , atleast by me. Untill episode 3 or 4 , when I found an interest in the manga , everything was ok but then from episode 5 onwards alot of things kept missing. It's like you are giving a little kid your car keys and say "here kido you can drive this car" but he doesnt know how to use the gear box how to drive overall and thats how this anime was. You suddenly have a beautiful car but the joy is ruined because you dont know how to ride it. Similar with the anime.......they suddenly throw at you alot of shit that doesnt make sense if you havent read the manga. And if it were of a 2nd season to happen they wouldnt have rushed it in the first place . Judging by this , its just a 1-season anime.

I think both are badly written but have a superior manga version.
Elfen Lied is more bloody (less censored) than this one and has a more open-ending (not as fucked up as this one at least), but yeah I really don't like both, so...

Yet another series I feel legitimate regret over having stuck with. This episode is easily the worst in the entire series and one of the worst "final episodes" I have seen to an Anime this season.

The only saving grace is that Kazumi survived. I'd be a lot more butthurt if she had actually died. Well, at least the angst is over.

This episode was so very, very rushed. A bunch of events happening one after another, some not really being explained, and some just being "MIRACLESSS!". I just had to roll my eyes several times. It really felt like a typical poor anime ending... does kinda make me wanna read the manga, just to see the difference.

Anyway, there were some good parts here and there in previous episodes, so I give the show a 6/10. Might change to a 5/10.

10/10 for the first 9 ep, 7/10 for the last 4 episodes. Though i haven't read the manga, i feel like it was Really rushed. At least, they could waste 5 more minutes to explain the ending, for example, how all characters survived...
Is manga still ongoing? I know that 100 chapters were like 13 episodes.

I enjoyed watching this series until the final eps. Take out the last 2-3 eps and the series is 8/10 for me. With the last 2-3 eps, 6/10.

I really hate when studios do this to adaptations. It's like they have no pride. Either do it right, or don't do it at all.

This show was one I had never been completely sold on, but still went with it. Early on, I contemplated dropping it, but surprisingly the show picked up my attention halfway in. Now we get to the finale...and wow what a mess. I get that if this happened in a manga it would be drawn out over oh, I don't know, maybe 50-100 chapters. As viewers, we're just suppose to accept the fact that Hatsuna's (apparently OP) magic brought Kazumi back to life, even though she herself had to come back together. Not to mention the whole ending was just rushed. If you span that out in a manga, you don't get that feeling. At least I don't. Just wow...

It isn't the worst show I've ever seen because a portion of it did draw me in. That said, ending it the way they did...why?

6/10 (I feel it may be too lenient of a score, but whatever).

What an awful, awful ending. Man this was shittyy.

My said:
1: Absolute horseshit, this is given very rarely. But a show where there is drama because people die and then a happy everybody-got-revived ending will definitely get this because that is a very, very shitty ending. Also used for similar cases.

Fits the bill perfectly.
1/10.

If it were not for this ending it would've scored a few points higher, but the final two episodes were just awful.
Too bad considering this had potential, I blame the adaptation and not the original story.

This show .... It seems to have some kind of identity crisis. One moment it shows pantsu and oppai and the next moment it shows someone's dying/decapitated/etc. honestly only a few shows have pulled that off well (Higurashi) being one of them.

I will give the manga a try as I liked the Elfen Lied Manga , but found the anime much worse , hopefully that doesn't disappoint me.

Show had an overall low budget , and should have been a 2-cour so that it could have fit more content in and not have been so rushed.
2/10 for this episode and 4/10 for the anime.

If only you'd knew how much of the fight between those two was cut out............
You'd be in much pain from the frustration of not seeing the full fight animated.
Wait , I take that back that wasnt a fight that was just minimizing the "final" boss to less than a random villain. They butchered the meaning of the fight , it had no impact and no importance was given to this fight....
Well , it was to be expected when you think how much they had cut in order to reach here.

I enjoyed this series! 6/10 because of plothole and pacing issues.

This could easily have been a 50+ episode series (like Blood+, which had no pacing issues IMO; it was freaking amazing and my all-time favorite lol).

Anyway

I am going to read the manga but I have a few questions for everyone who read the manga:

1) Can I just skip to "the chapter after Episode 13"? If I am pressed for time, for example.
2) Is it really better to read all of the chapters, or will it not really change a whole lot?

I'm guessing the manga is a lot better in terms of plot depth.

Oh, and I'm welcome to PMs if anyone wants to point me in the right direction. :)

hmm that was a bit ... disappointing? Not even the end itself but they left so many things without explanation :( I had to look it up myself and I really don't like if an anime forces me to do this.

At least tell in the show why Kana was able to move(it was implied but it doesn't hurt to actually say it) and why Kazumi actually survived(it was kinda obvious but it still didn't make much sense because Kana and Hatsuna were still in the observatory when everything began).

Well. Except the forced sex-jokes all the time it was actually enjoyable. But I expected a more tragic end tbh. Not that I can't live with this end :P was just a surprise that everybody survived after Kotori sacrificed herself. Speaking of which all those annoying things totally distracted from that. I mean I was sure it was impossible to save her after her alien hatched but it still wasn't very nice :(

My god this was horrible. I didn't think this could get any worse than the last few episodes..dam.

And how the hell is Kazumi alive...?
And the rest of deaths weren't even emotional, I felt nothing. The characters were so badly built I didn't give a crap about them, when the show could've used the time to actually give these characters some depth instead of flashing boobs at us every few seconds, maybe this could've been decent.
Probably the biggest disappointment this season, I was really looking forward to this since I loved Elfen Lied. Started out great and turned to shit. What a waste of potential.

My score went from 8/10 => 6/10 => 4/10 and finally 2/10, only good points were the art and music.

From 7.26 to 7.20 in just two days after a burst in about 4 hours from 7.29 to 7.23. May I laugh hard? Not that I need a permision to do that but just checkin' if you're okay with it.
I have a feeling that the more people will watch it the lower , the down-down the rate will go.

Oh how I wish there was a sarcasm font for these types of situations. Even though I'm sure many of you have already connected the dots for yourself, let's take a shot in the dark and assume we find someone who stumbled onto ending and is now looking for a play-by-play.

It was to rushed, Anime was great but they rushed last episode or two too much, true it could be far worse (Like they just living everyone dead witch would completely ruin it). It was still a great Anime 8/10 would give it 9/10 if they didn't rushed an ending so much it might even end up as one of my top 20 if they explained everything better about an ending so I don't have to go around asking manga readers WTF happened.
