They got Americans pegged down perfectly, it's too bad the colonel couldn't nuke the bitch. I'm also positively surprised they killed off the annoying childhood friend, not many series do that.

The art and animation were very good, but everything else... average, borderline bad.

BB and Tamaki - best characters.

5/10, mostly because of those two and the animation.

Would probably sit through a Season 2, powers and battles were cool.

I can't believe I survived this anime without cancer!

This anime was unimaginative, unoriginal and lazy. It threw every cliché and anime trope at us each week in an unforgiving and shameless manner every week, many of us returned wishing it would eventually redeem it's self but were left crying for mercy when it continued the way it did.

I can't believe this trash was funded and might get a continuation. This makes me question the anime industry and Japanese 'god damn' common sense. I've seen hantai more interesting than this for crying out loud.

This has earned it's way to my list of worst anime ever, deeply shaming me for having the courage to endure this until the end.

What the heck really happened? This anime was quite terrible and they end it in a rushing fashion?! Oh well...

From the little that I've watched, this is the worst anime in 2016 for me so far.

This show was the SHIT!
Best comedy ever!

Tamaki breaking every single death flag in the known world makes this a perfect 10 for sure! XD

Then we had two sub-par characters suddenly transform into monsters from Pacific Rim. Shucks, you directors think of everything don't you.

And whats with Seigi sitting around with Izzy's dead body waiting for the sun rise? A bit morbid for comic relief, no?

Here's hoping we get a season 2 to alleviate the confusion of that post credits stuff. Those other little sisters would definitely make for a more interesting cast. All 400 of them :P

What the hell was this, I was like wtf almost the whole episode and then the "next time prewiew" or whatever at the end. I hope that there will never be another season or whatever.

Overall this episode was 1/5 and the whole series 2/10, just terrible

The hate for this episode as well as the series is immense. I'm probably one of the few people in the world who actually enjoyed this. I don't know, you just can't ignore that awesome Godzilla like Kaiju battle during this episode. Tamaki Survived?! I'm not jumping on the boat of people whose glad he survived but at least he is alive. Tell me I've no taste in anime but this was rather enjoyable, in the serious sense and in comedic sense as there were some pretty funny times throughout. I'd give this series a 7.5 out of 10. Honestly I've watched way worse and really it's not a series that really bothered me all that much, I've never read the Manga so I haven't a clue how badly they butchered it with this adaption. However I'm not fussed, I got some enjoyment out of it so I think that's all that really matters. At least I didn't drop this series due to unbearable characters, cause at least they were somewhat "Well Written."

I thought this was going to be so awesome, it had so much potential, and they just sort of squandered it.

Also....like.....is there more? They ended it with a preview....but I'm not seeing anything else.

Anyway, I still enjoyed it, it just wasn't that great. Would watch a second season, or ova's or something.

I still vividly remember the first fight between the two main characters. The quality of the action was so amazing.I was totally blown to see that level of fighting animation.Not a single animation felt looped.Even the choreography was brilliantly done.
And now the final showdown battle.As if the budget went down rapidly with each episode. I can tolerate horrible plots and storyline but the Animation is something I am unable to compromise.However, ranting about this here or anywhere is futile, guess I am just letting my anger out.

YEAAAAAAAAH BUDDY!!! Tamaki is alive! Best protagonist ever, 10/10. Wait, dammit I mean...

Yes Sanders you're a clown. You're a fucking jester. Couldn't go 3 lines without talking about your desire to cram something up your ass. USA! USA! FUCK! FUCK!

LOL @ that teaser at the end. Or hell, maybe that was really the conclusion. Lord knows it could have been considering the warp speed pace this was going. It's like someone was playing with the fast forward button without warning. "What do the other two think?" Well one thing's for sure, this one has had enough.

How to even describe this show. I love the music but god what a letdown. When that OP started playing in the fight I was like "Aw hell yeah, this gon' be good." And then it's just two dinosaurs punching each other in a two-shot for 5 minutes. Yawn. What a terrible bait and switch, this show starts with one of the coolest fights ever and then devolves into a sporadic nightmare of cringe.

Well it's not all bad. It reminds me of Charlotte in the sense that it had some really great pockets of potential in an otherwise mediocre package. It's a bit cliche but I did like how Seigi's sense of justice progressed, from a boy's naivety to hateful revenge to absolution. Even that moment when he said that saving everyone includes saving Arya. And Arya could make some nice points now and then, even when she was groping every female character in sight. Izzy was also undoubtedly the best part of this show. Can't tell if she's dead though. The way Seigi is paying homage to her seems to suggest that, but she appeared in teaser so who even knows at this point...maybe she got a robotic body and soul since Wiseman is full of all sorts of surprises. Cheeky bastard.

5.5/10, my justice won't allow it to go any higher than that. It's taboo.

The sources remind me somehow of the Nodos from Heroic Age.

This last episode was alright. Nice to see, that Izzy isn't dead.

A cliffhanger in the end. I woudn't mind a second season.

Seriously... What? That's all I've been thinking continuously since Seigi's girlfriend died while watching this anime. I don't even know what's going on anymore.

Like... Why was that lion girl defeated with just one punch to the face? How did the samurai girl lose so easily while Seigi wasn't even able to use his abilities? Where did those two guys come from so save Izzy at exactly the right time? And why didn't she give a shit about both dying? What the fuck was that at the end(don't tell me this whole affair of "wat" gets another season...)? And that's just the stuff I remembered right now.

At least Tamaki is still alive. He triggered so many death flags it is a miracle he survived all that.

God this was so bad. It started out with a potential but it soon went downhill like anything. And like most action anime they followed the same overused formula of heroes don't win and villains don't die instead they just skirmish in an endless loop until the writer decides to progress with the plot. At least the fanservice was somewhat consistent compared to the absurd story which was all over the place.

Initially the protagonist Seiji was interesting with his knowledge in martial arts but like any other gullible "hero of justice" became pretty irrelevant since all the antagonists were OP as hell. They should've made BB the protagonist instead or at least make Tamaki the protagonist in season 2 if this garbage of a show ever gets one LOL

A well deserved 3/10.

USA ! Fortunately Tamaki survived.
This anime was so hard to watch, I forced myself at each episodes, it reminded me Big Order. The animation is good, but expect that there is nothing. The hero is boring and totally changed during a time skip (seems legit...). I happy that it's over.

what was that epilogue thing lol.
did this show ever know what it was doing?

I'd say this was the worst anime of the season, besides Qualidea Code. And I watched almost everything.

The only nice things I can say about Taboo Tattoo:
-the girls were hot as fuck.
-fight scenes in the beginning were very dynamic and stylish.

That's it. Waste of time otherwise.

Oh... oh dear god... that was the end... I lost interest and started skipping parts. I didn't even realize that was it until the princess screamed some crap while losing the battle, and then the credits rolled... Oh my god that was terrible. This was horrible. This was such a mess. And to think this started off so well, so awesomely... only to end so poorly, and pathetically, and then they have the nerve to hint at a season two. No. That is not okay. Big Order was bad, but at least it was hilariously bad, and pretty consistently bad, like, every episode was a learning experience on how not to do things, this just made me feel like I was wasting my time away. It made me feel bad. 2/10. How disappointing this was.

Anyone else think that this anime was a pretty big letdown... I meant the pacing was terrible and characters weren't really interesting. Tom and tamaki were slightly better cos they were hilarious but other than that I literally have no clue how I finished this series.... If this gets a season 2 but chivalry of a failed knight doesn't, hell is gonna break free

Probably the worst ending of this season, I had hopes this show, and that it would finish stronger after the decline in quality over all. Oh well, the ending was too rushed and open ended, But you do get a little bit of closure, and some comedy. CLOWN!!!!!!

Woah! That really felt rushed as fuck! Well at least this anime was pretty enjoyable overall.
If there is a very slim chance of this anime getting a second season I will still gonna watch it.
Even if it won't happen I'll just read the manga. Anyway, I'll rate this anime a 6 (or 7?) out of 10 score overall.

WTF was that at the end? A movie trailer?

This anime kind of lost it's way at the end here. It started with great fighting animation and brilliantly awkwardly place humor... which was missing from the end.

5/10 (average) Had the end not been so disappointing, I would have given this 6 just because it was a fun show to watch.

Jesus, that was painful to watch, and to think that I really liked the first episode too. I wish it had stayed simple and not try to do too much beyond the capacity of the author, such a shame. By the halfway point of the series I was thinking to myself, maybe the manga was better; by the end of the series I am convinced to drop the manga all-together. The teaser looked really good, but I have zero faith in this series after what they've shown in the second half.

My biggest grip is with the protagonist, I thought he wasn't gonna be a bitch, damn did he disappoint. I also hated the nonexistent consistency in characterization and development.

Sigh, it's such a shame, and I thought I'd finally get a good action series.

The only thing i am happy about is the survival of tamaki. Everything felt so forced with this show. It probably could have been better as twenty four episodes since there was so much oversaturation (too many characters and things happening with very little explanation).

also I got these vibes from this series

Seigi vs Cad was good. Ideology & altruism vs revenge babble adds a bit lolz. But source fight was hell dark & messy, lazy editing.
Tamaki surprisingly badass like BB. Honestly i liked the other stupid fun characters too, but some plot's irritating.
Quite surprised Wiseman actually smart & pwned Arya, made us believe Seigi's a sacrifice & the virus would break the 4 keys. Pretty cool how instead, the virus leeches soul power from all the sisters.

TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST I DID ENJOY IT ONLY FOR THE JOKES AND ECCHI AFTER THE 2ND HALF It really went down the drain not as bad as cerberus but really crappy.If they were aiming for people to get interested on the source material they should have never tried that rushed ending.Things were all over the place.
