----------------------------------------
Welp, they really did do this final showdown between Ripple and Swim Swim. Ripple finds herself struggling against Swim Swim's abilities although she does manage to sneak in a surprise attack.

I'm not too surprised that Ripple went for the kill on Swim Swim. She managed to get revenge for her friend Top Speed so yeah. Snow White arrived late. Not sure how I feel about the final battle in general, felt rather predictable imo.

Fuck, no Pythie cameo. No fire extinguishers. What the hell is the surprise for LN readers?

Wasn't Snow White suppose to go after Ripple instantly?

So the girls i thought would survive have survived.
And Swim swim died which was expected this anime was ok tho somewhat predictable at some points.
It was also pretty brutal with everything that was happening.

Some changes from LN.

Snow White was supposed to follow Ripple immediately.
The thing about giving up being magical girl should have happened before Hardgore Alice died and it doesn't last long.
Also, Snow supposed to find out how to kill Fav by reading Fav's mind and give the signal to Ripple.
Use the Halberd. Snow throw the phone next to Ripple and then Ripple broke it.

Is Lerche trying to make Snow White unlikeable?

Great ending to overall a very good series. If it was more consistent with backstories, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a 9/10


Also...



... current story end and new one begins.


How are the chances for season 2 ?

I am also quite sure that Ripple kills Swin Swin while being affected by flash bang.

A bit anticlimatic. Snow White didnt do much in the end, but she will probably have more development in the light novels. Looking forward for a second season or jsut finding a good retailer to buy the novels

Solid 7/10 from me. Snow White became a badass in the end, huh?

Curious on what the LN readers kept spoiling and hyping on about, so I may try jumping onto the LN unless a second season is announced.

Overall, as a non LN reader, i liked this serie a lot, the ending was ok but without a second season is all a waste, after all i read on the wiki that there are 4 books and they adapted only the first survival game.
Want Snow White with Ruler (and Ripple) to be a mahou shoujo hunter. :)

Good thing they keep Ripple without the left eye and arm.

Just now Snow White get told the idea of this "Master" thing? No wonder she snapped and then late to the duel place.
In the end, the only "magical" thing that's left is their profile character while doing some CQC.

That was some showdown between Ripple and Swim Swim. It did look like a huge struggle after everything that has happened so far. But it does seem kind of disappointing that it was predictable how the fight ended. It was probably the only effective way to stop Swim Swim from her vicious murders she's committed so far. It's very unfortunate that this selection process came at a high price to pay so it meant that all of those girls never had to suffer cause of the cover-up that Fav had conspired this whole time.

I'm glad that Snow White figured out Fav's real intention on what the Magical Girl Raising Project was really about. The rare lucky's rabbit foot really did the trick and Fav needed to be stopped at all costs. So with that in mind, it would make sense that the project be shut down.

Anyway, I think Snow White has become a lot more different after that last meetup with Ripple. I felt a little happy that she decided to train herself with Ripple and become even greater friends than before.

Well, this was an interesting series and the finale may have been anticlimactic. If they wanted to make another season, it's possible from that standpoint. I do agree that the character's deaths were brutal and some parts were disturbing to watch. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it anyways.

Started off fun and quickly became terrible. I at least think this final episode was decent. I'm confused though about how they transform now that Snow White destroyed the magical terminal thing and the app is gone. What do they use to transform or can they not anymore and that's why Snow White ran away?

World of Magic contacted them. They got new phone.
Snow White doesn't really ran away but the reason has too much spoiler for season 2.
If they actually animate Arc 2 of the LN that is.

The anime started well but failed to deliver dramatic moments. I'm disappointed how predictable it was.

The animation quality delivered by Lerche was good. I really liked to listen the ED song.

6/10 for me. The writing department failed, but this is a problem with the LN.

lame ending to lame series
I shouldn't have given it another chance after I dropped it first time.
in the end snow white dindu nuffin, every magical girls are bland with sole purpose of being murdered
no plot besides killing each other for the sake of killing each other
this is like the worse version of akame ga kill. at least akame is rly entertaining.

once again, I really recommend watching kamen rider ryuki for better experience

Thats exactly what i was thinking, it really seems like they were trying to make Snow unlikable. Its like they threw all of the character development from the LN out the window.

Well, that was a satisfying enough conclusion for me.

Yes! Swim Swim is dead! Job well done Ripple! I knew I could count on you. :D
The fight was pretty decent I guess, That moment when Ripple stabbed Swim Swim was so satisfying. I think I was smiling. XD

So it ends like that, Ripple destroys the master Fav device and both Ripple and Snow White continue being magical girls. I guess they were both selected by the World of Magic but only Ripple responds to them.

Kinda ironic though, Snow White didn't really do anything in terms of battle yet she was the one who survived everything, Then again she was the only one doing real Magical Girl Work. She became quite strong at the end eh? Final moonlit shot of Ripple and Snow White was great.

Overall, A pretty decent series. I liked it. Didn't really like how the characters were killed off so easily and often very anti-climatically, Hated Swim Swim and we didn't really get enough revelations about the overarching plot. I'll watch an S2 if it comes out but I don't think I'll be picking up the LN anytime soon.

7/10 , Bloody and quite entertaining. If only all the good characters hadn't died like that. :(

I really like this series. I wish they did a better job rearranging the events because it make the LN and the anime feels very different. This series is totally not a masterpiece, but I think it does a nice job being entertaining. People complain about it being predictable and it's understandable, but how they handle those death was honestly pretty neat. It still manage to bring some surprise. If I was being honest, I'll give this anime a solid 7 or a strong 6, but an 8.4 for my personal score.

this show was probably the best battle royal anime ive seen. every character had an important role to play and never overstayed their time on the screen (cause they got fuking wrecked). they kept it simple, giving us backstory and their reasons for doing what they do so that we could grasp what motivates them (and gives their death weight).

Swim swim is definitely the best villain of the season. she's talented, ruthless, and calculating, all for the simple reason that she's a promising child who wanted to make it in a death game. children truly are scary. really wished she was revived too cause you know she would fuck magic land up.

this is a clean 7/10. i couldn't even finish akame ga kill either.

Yeah, this ending was alright but it still doesn't really feel like Snow White actually did anything, cos all she really did was tell Ripple that Swim Swim's weapon would be able to kill Fav. Still, we got a lot of justice in this episode with both Fav and Swim Swim finally dying, so it's not all bad.
I don't expect a second season though, cos this ending seemed rather conclusive, even if the novels do go further than this. Guess I'll just wait until they are released in English to see how the story progresses from here.

Well it looks like my prediction last week wasn't entirely correct. I thought Ripple and Swim Swim would both die and Snow White would be the only one left, but Ripple ended up surviving. At least they got rid of Fav.

An ok show, didn't really love/like it, but I didn't hate it either. 5/10.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

the ending was ok but what i really wanna know is will they do the other arcs aswell cause i read that there is alot more story after this and its gets alot better what this animated was just book 1 while there are like 10 currently and more coming

so if anything im kinda hoping they will animate the other arcs aswell if not in series forms they could make them movies

anyway over all this 1st arc was nice really hope they do more

I don't know, I think some of you are being a way too critical. For a Battle Royale anime this was completely solid: the action was there every single episode aside at the beginning (which was interesting nowadays), Lerche's animation delivered, the blood and everything was there (but wasn't disguisting random neither), the atmosphere was there, pretty much all the characters got some neat back story aside a few. And maybe, over all things, is that the anime wasn't really that obvious, you just need to see at the comments at each episode how pretty much everything took us by surprise aside the ending and a few death flags (though many of us didn't expect that Fav would get what he deserved).

Anyway, I loved the anime and the ending! Swim Swim and Fav were awesome villians (Cranberry not so much, but she never got too much screen time to start with), personally I always licked Snow White and now more than never (while I not agree with everything she did, a good strategy - from being a good person too - is always to not gain unnecesary enemies)! And over all things, justice, sweet sweet justice with Ripple getting her revenge for the loved by everyone Top Speed ;-;. Though I gotta admit what I enjoyed the most was seeing Fav getting real punished (we all know that in the moment Ripple heard him is that he isn't gonna have a good time for the time being).

The ending can be felt a bit dull without S2, but I'm almost confident that we WILL get the S2, so I'm completely OK that they left it open and all. Lovely ending card for the memories, too! BTW Pirate-like Ripple is badass.
