Rydako said: Damn this is disappointing, the series is turning out exactly as I feared. Trying to cram this much content in 12 episodes, coupled with an inexperienced director has ruined the potential the source has... The pace is all out of whack and there's no transitions between scenes leaving everything feeling out of place and awkward. What they're doing to Shuumatsu should be a crime :/ Imo it's a good adaption so far. The most glaring problems with these types of anime are all the internal monologues that get lost, and that include more info about the characters and their feelings. But that can't be helped. Also they have 9+ episodes to cover the other two volumes (if they stop at what they showed in ep1) so they can take more time to animate those, rather than take ages with vol1 and rush the rest. If I were to pick something, that I'm disappointed about so far, it would be about how they cut a chunk of the dialogue at the end scene. But the song aswell as seeing that scene animated was enough for me to be satisfied. |

| 5/5 Wonderful episode. Great soundtrack and a backstory on Willem. That ending scene was exceptional. And man. I finally finished reading the LN. Very very excited for this series. This is definitely one of the underrated series of the season. |

Although they have to cram this much content in 12 episodes, but paired with experienced director has saved the potential the source has.. the pacing is well done and there's a lot of time they gave us to understand, not even awkward. what they're doing to Shuumatsu should be a crime :) Free world, interpret it how you wish - if you like the anime give the LN's a read - they're much, much better than this adaption. Can't stop myself from watching the LN's being animated though, so you'll probably see me here again T.T |

But the song aswell as seeing that scene animated was enough for me to be satisfied. If anything, I'd appreciate if they didn't animate every single inner monolgue. This is an audio-visual representation of the adaptation, character thoughts can be displayed through their expressions and the flashing of scenes in their heads like how willem remembered Almaria telling him she'll feed him cake once kutori asked for it. Masamune-kun's revenge suffered from dumping all the inner monologue, every 30 sec, a thought is told in the MC's head. We don't need every single inner thought worded to us. Also a big part of the inner monologues tend to happen in funny scenes in this LN. I'll re-check the LN to see what they missed, but i wouldn't be picky about it. The original is mostly going to be better, that's a given . |

Goldkoron said: Why not read it yourself? There is a very good translation being done by a guy called Fgilan. Just google Shuumatsu Nani LN translated and it should be the first result. The story is such a good read. i'm too lazy to read |
 |
| should i start perparing my tissues next ep and dude why wont you want to marry her probably start reading the ln soon |
 |
| This feels like death flags: the anime. Uh oh. |
Because he does not seem any of them as anything more than children? |
 |
| Wow the MC had the deep past story...sure is strong though |
 |
| Impressive episode, I don't know how good is the LN, cause haven't read it I might sometime try it. But for me I can tell that its having a faithful adaptation, I haven't seen any problems with the pacing. Those swords were really amazing. So Wilhelm was the last survivor, and got a rest on ice, can someone tell me how long was Wilhem frozen on that underground ice? |

Goldkoron said: -ShadowClaw- said: I just hope that we will get all of the volumes aniamted. It would be a shame just to adapt 3 volumes when you only have 2 more to finish it. Question for the LN readers, just to clarfiy something. I will most likely end up crying by the end of this show aren't I? As an LN reader, I really hope that we only get 3 volumes animated this cour. There are many awesome scenes, emotional scenes, etc in the novels that would only get diluted if all five novels were mashed into one cour. Volume 4 alone probably has enough content for at least 4 episodes. Volume 5 maybe another 3 (not finished it yet). A second season with the sequel LN could maybe even work starting with Volume 5 if this does end on Volume 4. CAn u spoil me? pm as to who will live and die? i don't want to get invested into someone if they will just end up dead. |
| SukaSuka becomes better and better. So many things revealed after 3 eps. I think they will go full blast for next episode considering the build up and back story for some characters. And Kariyon's main materials as well. Willem's past revealed, humanity lost and he was frozen in time, and live with pain rn. I think he is an OP chara with a fragile body. Love the parallel between 500 years ago and present "Butter Cake" scene. 5/5 |
 |
| Can a LN reader tell me that her comeback from the battle won't be the expected and will actually surprise me? Because giving how much people were praising this story, nothing really stood out until now, and the result of next week's episode will either tell how average this show is or isnt'. |
 |
| Willem's background was fairly grim, I didn't imagine he met his demise like that. However, at least he gave Chtholly some hope of survival. The next episode preview felt really dark, though. |
| Can you-all stop asking for spoilers? Enjoy the show. I have read the LN too, but would not spoil anything. So to the episode. A good adaptation i Love the scene between Chtolly and Willem. Even though it was some fast paicing, it is so far a good adaptation. |
| Blue haired is kind of boring and indecisive. The red haired one is much better and should have been heroine, she is fun and entertaining. Or at the very least dont show heroine to our face early without much background, its all above the blue haired girl early as ep 2 why they have to make it so predictable/boring. I wish the story were more unpredictable, being froze in a frozen lake is a little predictable, I have that theory in my mind so it nothing interesting. The story is kind of good, I like the lore but not exactly how it is delivered, very easy to predict and kind of boring 4.5/5 I'll follow this for a while because Im interested in humanity |
 |
| This anime is getting better and better each episode. I like it and I think it's interesting. And Chtholly is really so cute lol. Need more |
| Great heart-warming episode, William is a badass that is passed his time and is more like the sensei now. One of those girls are going to die right :( Time to go on a feel trip and that PV >.< |

| Interesting background and set up. Some pretty impressive animation on the sword fight. |
 |
| Totally didn't expect the Lizard guy to be such a bro. It looks like we'll be seeing more and more of Willem's past as the show progresses. |

AlexTheRiot said: Discounting sequels, this is easily the best this season. Nothing else comes close in terms of characters, story, and direction. This episode sealed the deal with Kutori's character exploration coupled with Willelm's timely backstory. I agree with you on that, I personally feel that this season is pretty weak in aside from the sequels compared to previous seasons. Despite that though, I'm still finding a decent amount of enjoyment in the anime that came out this season. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Interesting how we get a lot more of Willem's backstory. :P |
| Interesting.... I think this anime should be meant to be bingewatched. I'll just wait after 3 more episodes until I watch this again |
| To me, the Manga readers bemoaning the anime adaptation need to understand. Anime first viewers don't care, as long as it's decently paced and good dialogue and quality. Anime rule #101: never expect animation to adopt the source material perfectly, ever. Anime has budgets, time & episode constraints, and also TV censorship rules that need to be applied. Be happy it's even being animated. Because with the niche audience dwindling to straight-on Otaku looking for 2d Waifus and Idols. Japan studios are hard pressed justifying a hit and miss adventure series when they can just pump out another idol knockoff of love live or idolmaster. I get that it would be great if anime studios could adapt a series line for line from the source material. But chosen shows are few and far between. The manga/LN would have to sell amazingly well for a studio to even go the pure route. AND TBQH, most anime adaptations are nothing more than a merchandising advertisement for the source material to begin with. why give the viewers everything in the anime, if you also want them to read the source material and more. |
| The real question is.... |

Misanthropian said: how can Uchouten Kazoku 2 or Rokudenashi have score more than this great show omg ?! Uchuuten is good and only those who watched first season (which many considered it AotY) continue to watch it and rate high. Rokudenashi had decent start for typical lnshit and just didn't fell on face completely yet for rates to drop. |
 |
| Like the anime ,hope it doesnt get tragic ending and SOMEBODY CHANGE THE DAMN PICTURE it looks like its a comedy slice of lfe cute anime....the picture could change popularity |
| You cannot spell Light without L |
I do not know other users, but I enjoyed the spontaneity expressed by all those little girls, my heart feels rejuvenated so sweetly, and they did not weigh the dramatic atmosphere that breathed throughout the episode. Another interesting episode, the protagonist I like so far, I hope I will not ruin anything going on with the story. |
 |
| Ooh, backstory on Willem. I think this might be my favorite of this season if it keeps up what it's doing~ |
| That death flag oh god. I don't think I can watch this next week now. Should I just accumulate episodes and binge watch this ? |
Depends if you want to process things across several days or test your heart's strength in one sitting. Either way I suggest to proceed with caution. |

| Now we know what happened to Willem and why he was still alive after 500 years, even more so, of what he is (I did assume it in the back of my mind). Willem is my fav because he's mature for a young male character. And his backstory is interesting-- I'd like to see more of it. Hmm.... but still not liking the main girl too much. Maybe she'll get better as the show goes along. |

| So Willem is the last living human on that realm... Willem is trying to find different ways of fighting that is opposed of that Chtholly understands. cool huh! unleashed Chtholly vs not-unleashed Willem but still has the upperhand and Chtholly was total defeat. next episode based on the next ep...someone died? 4/5. |
 |
| What are these feeling inside my chest? Despair? Hope? More despair? This is slowly shaping itself into a good anime, with a nice dose of tragedy and feels. What I really liked this episode was Willen background, he went trough a lot, almost died and survived for hundreds of years in a frozen state only to be discovered in a world were he's the last of humans alive. Kudos for the design of the swords, tho. They are made of little talismans for more mundane things. But I guess it is a nice representation of life, made of mundane moments that, when put together, can form something extraordinary. It seems that what matters are the little details. And now he's watching this fairy-girls off to battle, going through something that he already experienced, and the worst thing is that they could die and they would be okay with that. But he's not, he remembers his late companions and decided the girls need better chances to come back alive, so he helps Chtholly with her fighting skills and tunes everyone's swords. I men, a man can suffer so many loses and we all saw that preview (I know at least two of those girls won't die thanks to the opening bit during the first episode). There are death flags all over the place, who is it going to go? Anyways, looking forward to next episode since I cannot wait to feel devastated. |
 |
| Oh man, the amount of death flags that were raised in this episode.... |
 |
| Not that beautiful insert song again, I am weak against it. Good there's a way they can grow stronger. |
 |
| The promise <3 CAKIE! Those swords look really good man I'm just hoping they return safely! |
