| Hmm I'm not sure what to think of the final episode. If we get a second season it is fine but if we'll stop here it is stupid as fuck. Well. Except for that final episode which leaves us at a weird place this was quite enjoyable. I wouldn't mind another season. |
| My fave action mecha series ended. no more awesome mecha fights. no sequel announcement like Thunderbolt Fantasy, the other awesome action series. I hope Fall season has a good replacement for these two but I doubt it. |

| I'm actually really disappointed Kennosuke left Yukina behind. The fact we don't know if she finds him leaves me to put this at a 7 instead of an 8 if she had left when Kennosuke did. At least then I'd know they're together. |
 |
| The ending I had figured out, and that is not a bad thing. Yukina rediscovers what she wants to do with her life, with even more motivations. We get to see everyone's occupation in the near future. The only weird moment was the the revelation of the "Aida Kensuke"-like guy's father. I read the word "rushed" everywhere but it never felt like they were suddenly running out of time to do what they wanted to do, there was no sudden speed peak, so I don't understand how it can be declared rushed. Simple, enjoyable, with no obsession of robots fighting (too bad some episodes went 90% mecha action), pretty enough, well-made outside of the 3DCGI fights over 2D backgrounds. On the other hand, it wasn't exceedingly interesting. 6.5/10 A good way to relax in a sci-fi ambiance. @Luthandorius How can a full-legnth series become boring once reached the mid-series? o_O It is at eps 12-13 that the real ennemy/bigger threat/revelations kick in to raise the interest of the audience back up! |

| I really hope they will be a second season or a movie, because I need more ! This last episode was amazing, now I consider to up is score >.<. I was surprise that they didn't choose the easy way to send Yukina with him on the new planet, but instead made a beautiful farewell scene. The girls who have grown are sublime :). |
| totally not my favorite anime. Totally not among the best animes of the year/season. BUT it was really enjoyable. And with this setting there could be a really nice second season. But I highly doubt it. As long as they dont get proper writing for the back story. I still want the second season ^^ This anime is a nice reminder of what older animes where. rather long (26eps +) original story and not just a teaser. Well this certainly is quite open ended. Still the ending was nice and you could always say everything is fine. (I honestly doubt the second season would be any good if the same staff works on it.) |

| the ferret and his family really completed this show for me |
 |
| Well, how is that the last episode -at least for me- feels way better than 80% of the show? Especially the time skip! Yeah, super open ending, I suppose the series was popular enough in Japan to make possible the making of an open ending just in case a second season is doable. 5 years... Yeah, 5 years in which Yukina never knew someone else... you know, anime logic... she has to stay pure for Ouma!! xD Well, the series was not that bad so, if there's a second season I know I'll watch it. Maybe P.A.Works will correct their mistakes and it will be better. |
| Yep hoping for a movie! this turned out worth the watch, all i can say is still Fuck Jundai ! this show could of done without that piece of shit |
 |
| The last two episodes were better than I expected as they touched on human nature a bit, overall though. one of the more poorly written anime I've watched in awhile. Settled on 3/10 in the end. |
| Started off great, then pretty much meandered in search of an identity for the next 20 or so episodes, then had a fantastic final two episodes. In the end I place higher value on a show that can provide a satisfying ending and in that regard Kuromukuro delivered. I'd give a tentative 7/10 just for the solid ending that is sorely lacking in anime these days. Though cannot in good conscience recommend this at all for anyone to slog through just to reach the last couple of episodes. |
| I'd welcome a sequel just to see how Ken and the rest are doing and for a galactic space war. 7/10. Had its ups and down, but overall it wasn't that bad. |
 |
| I strangely found myself really enjoying this from the very beginning. Perhaps the concept itself wasn't the most original but it certainly felt original. I liked the relationship between Yukina and Kennosuke, the mecha weren't the best design, but the pilot 'armor' [it was literally armor, lol] was very cool. The music fit each scene rather nice, the supporting cast was solid enough [could've been way better but they didn't feel completely flat and shallow either, something that has been annoying me in a lot of current anime], the ending was quite frustrating because OF COURSE Yukina couldn't go with him right away, OF COURSE we needed extra drama, it wouldn't be P.A. Works otherwise. I still really cried at certain scenes though and I still became connected to the characters, I was sad to see it end. 8/10 Now... where is my movie w/ Efidorg space battles and a Ken/Yukina reunion? |

| Loved this show and thought it was well done in that it didn't fall into the trope of monster of the week kind of deal and focused on the small stuff which some people seemed to hate. Everything as far as mysteries wrapped up well, but they never really explain how Yuki has the *same DNA* as Yukina/Yukina's mom who I think in one of the earlier episodes of the second half were suggested to be ancestors of Yuki which isn't possible because Yuki's fiance was killed and she herself never had kids.The earth being seeded doesn't actually explain it either. |
  Dibs on Ishida! |
| I like this show. The time skip was surprising. Not much to say. It was a bit of a nice conclusion or epilogue since we see what the other characters are now doing with their lives. |
| I really liked this ending, was very satisfied. I enjoyed the series, hopefully if there's a sequel, I'd prefer it to be another season rather than a movie. |
| The first half was really enjoyable despite the underdeveloped characters, however the last 7 episodes have been pretty meh. A lot of rushed forced ship by the end of the series, a lot of stuff happening without much being expanded, and characters don't feel like they have much of a.. character anymore, they just go along with whatever the plot demands. I have had my suspicion that the second half wouldn't be as good as the first half, it's easy to start off really good but then fail to follow up. That said, Mozumi is the MVP of the series. |

| This show was great but I'll recommend it to everyone if it gets a one or two episode OVA detailing what happens after Yukina goes to the same planet as Kennosuke. |
 |
| Just finished it on Netflix. What an interesting show. It wasn't groundbreaking by any means, but I really enjoyed it. Liked the mixture of genres and tones (though it could get bloated at times), characters were alright, and plot was pretty good. This show was like a fusion of Gargantina and Aldnoah. I really want to see more, I loved the ending! Ken and Yukina gotta reunite! Also Zell became of one my favs, I loved that guy. And I'll also say I hated the boy trio, I honestly wished they got killed off, I found them so annoying! Anyways, god willing we'all get some type of sequel. Overall 7/10 |

| The show has interesting plot and good amount of mecha action. The characters were okay but some were kind of irrelevant like Muetta. I didn't really like the ending cause it felt inconclusive and somewhat rushed. Honestly I don't think this will get a sequel since most of the characters have grown up or moved on and is kind of implied that things are getting resolved. But it would be nice if it gets a sequel. 7/10 |
| 1 of the weakest PA work series. The characters were bland and the plot wasn't even going serious. Average series 5/10. Hopefully no 2ND SEASON. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. It's one of the only ones lately that I've managed to watched from start to finish without taking an extended break. This is what anime should make you feel like. |
| That was a good way to end the show. Itd be nice if they continued to show the battle itself but this ending felt satisfactory as well. 7/10! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
Renaultclio101 said: 1 of the weakest PA work series. The characters were bland and the plot wasn't even going serious. Average series 5/10. Hopefully no 2ND SEASON. Have you seen Glasslip yet? It doesn't sound like have. But I gotta agree that this show was pretty average. Characters are forgettable and the show felt slow paced to me. But I'd be down for 2nd season, nowhere to go but up. |
 |
| In the end I'm left with some very mixed feelings. As the underdog show of the season, production wise things seemed off at some points, it had some glaring flaws too (like the undressing with handcuffs), and then there was the weird Netflix deal halfway through the series. I never expected it to do any better than a 7/10 at best. However, it was genuinely exciting, consistently so, the mecha swordplay was at time weirdly historically correct, and some of the plot twists really did surprise me. I considered significantly increasing my rating. Finally, we had episodes 25 and 26, which were completely unnecessary, and not at all fitting with the atmosphere of the rest of the show. 8/10 Sunakko-ch4n said: I´m very disapointing with kennosuke.He left yunina on earth He left her and go with muetta to save the world noooo!!! yukina even 5 years passed goes to look for him,,,,pffff he left her :( He couldn't possibbly have flewn back to pick her up withint the 15 second window the wormhole was open. |

| Did not really expect to like this show. Wish there was another episode or something like gurren lagann did by making the characters go and fight a giant final boss for ten more episodes in the depths of spaces. Someday i hope it gets a second season or movie like most the anime i have watched. |
| I liked how this show started off, especially the art. That was a 10. But around halfway, it started to feel kinda weird. Personally, I found the balance of seriousness and non-sensical slice of life kinda off. They were doing random festival stuff at school or were happily eating lunch at times when the world was being threatened...I often couldn't comprehend why they were acting like all of that didn't matter. It took away from the seriousness of the situation. Also, I wasn't too fond of the music. I felt like many scenes didn't have the emotional impact they were aiming at because the music was mediocre or missing. I also wanted to ship Ouma and Yukina, but their development felt strange at times... it somehow didn't touch me like other anime managed to touch me. I was missing some consistent development there... I rate this 7/10. |
| I finally got around to watching the show. That's the ending? Really? What an absurd end to the show. No sense of closure at all. The romance between the two main characters was contrived from the moment they tried to make it a thing, the supporting characters were all pretty lame and unimportant, the show had serious pacing issues and wasted time on typical anime tropes that didn't fit at all in the story, and the mysteries were all resolved with blatant exposition. Pretty disappointing show, despite the promise it held. |
Pie is delicious. |
| This season finale I really liked, who knows if there will be a sequel. Overall I liked the series as far as Sci-Fi is concerned, a bit less like mecha as far as battles are concerned. I enjoyed the characters and the comedy view during the narration. Why is Yukina the only one to have not changed her haircut over the last five years? What a waste!  |
 |
| Every time that pos Kaya appeared, I was hoping he would die in some gruesome fashion. Stupid plot device to show Ouma is still alive. Somehow they are upbeat about fighting thousands of those ships. That was not an ending. 6/10 Meh |
 |
| Akagi gets Yukina. Dat punch. Muetta entrusts Kennosuke with her life. WTF!!!!! Hausen is Kaya's father? WTF!!! Mom is on her 4th husband? lol at Mika in crowd. So pretty. Toshiyuki is joining them. Yeah. Kaya is lucky to have survived this long. Sophie wants to pledge. Zeru is leaving his aibou behind? *sheds tear* Dat 1st op insert song. Yukina jumped on them. Dat Muetta laugh. So cute. Yukina falls. Tom appears. They're gone. 2021. Whoa! Mika is a babe. Sophie grew. Rita. She spoke. Akagi. Marina. Kojo got kids. And that was the end. It good better as it progressed. I won't lie, I smiled when Yukina didn't get to go with them. I prefer Muetta. If Yukina ever finds Kennosuke, she will learn that he has been banging Muetta since they fell in love during their time together and will have to accept the harem. lol |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Dude that timeskip was awesome and all cause even the ferrett has a family now but goddamn it can't end like this. Think about it like this, a show where the story is about the protagonist's dream of baking the best cake in the whole world, so all his adventures are about gathering ingredients and learning the best techniques of baking, and then fast forward 5 years later, he's learned everything he needs to learn and then gathered all the ingredients and equipment he needs and then some. And the show ends while he's baking the cake. So my question is, where is the fucking cake? You can't end this shit without showing the final product :/ 7 |
 |
| Welp this show somehow managed to spring from being a 2 to a 6. I guess I'll watch the next season when it comes out. What I will love to see is Kennosuke learning the customs of the alien planet and Yukina reacting how Kennosuke did in the beginning. |
 |
| Just finished it and I can say damn Sophie Noël had a growth spurt. Anyway the ending was nice and kinda left on a good note sure would be nice to see what happens if they find him and such but problem is they could be dragging it out also which sadly allot of anime´s do today. |
