| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- No OP. Little girl narrating with little Hyui, then grown up Hyui came later with blood. The one who use vampire-lizing incident to get Hyui and Dalian attention, were the pair who appeared last time?! When Hyui was young and flying plane!! Dalian and the eyepatch girl lol~ The guy asked Hyui about the little girl and shot Hyui with the gun from the book!! They desire that the books be spread instead of being closed in a place. So Dalian allowed Hyui with blood to open her and meet the little girl. When he failed and forgot about himself, Dalian and the little girl realizing each other as another self to save him. Little Hyui and Hyui... Hyui was able to be back and read the book. And third pair is here! The pair last time ran away though. Dalian is happy that Hyui is safe and back to being tsundere again is lol~ ED (with OP), showing of other characters' life after is nice. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I still don't really get who that girl with the lotus flower on her head was :/ Is she Dalian's alter ego or something? O.o |
 |
| A nice ending. I couldn't help but lol when dalian spots something in the newspaper and it had to be about a sweet bun! then they caught up in a zombie raid created by that guy and the girl who seems to have a little rivalry with dalian. that girl with the lotus flower on her head seems to be tied to all three of shokas. She seemed like she was trapped in a world all be herself and huey wants to save her from that. I just loved this episode a good ending. Second season maybe? :D |
 |
| it sure is taking long time for subs to come out |
| Overall an enjoyable series to watch. Not much of an actual storyline, but nevertheless it doesn't feel repetitive like most episodic ones. 7/10 |
 |
| Pretty good, cant wait for season 2. 7/10 |
 |
| While I thought the introductions of the other keykeepers and their biblioprincesses were interesting, I don't really think it works to just throw them all together in one episode and call it a finale. Any real plot this show had was just crammed into 24 minutes. It was entertaining, but I think it could have been much more. 7/10 |
| Disward should be thankful that Mamiko Noto found a good doctor. I hated how little interaction Hal had; I'd want a second season if we got to see the guys like fight with swords or something, but this anime feels like one of those that won't get a second season because it won't sell. |

| Wint by too fast in this episode IMO. :/ But overall, it was a nice show I suppose (if only I could stop thinking of Gosick everytime I watch it. lol) I liked the characters and dark ness. ^^ |
| 💕 |
| I just know they better have a season 2. I think this one of the best new anime this year. It was a great change of pace of your regular standard anime now. A character with common sense. :). I do love the world the author created he can really expand on this. |
| the final episode was a bit cramped--but they gave a decent ending. still, there's hope there will be a season 2. i just don't like how the episodic system made all of the people having something to do with the Phantom Book are all dead. except for Armand and the girl whose name i forgot. good thing this series have great art and music. 6.5/10, i'll give it a 7. |
| One thing that ticked me off about this series: Waaaaay too little Flamberge. ಥ_ಥ |
| Fucking terrible. Nothing gets explained, nothings gets resolved. They introduce a character for one episode and call it a day. It feels like it's just something to get you reading the light novels. |
| It was okay, but I thought it some interesting side characters they could have done more with. |
| Did not feel like a finale... Sanguis said: 110% agreed. Flamberge=amazing.One thing that ticked me off about this series: Waaaaay too little Flamberge. ಥ_ಥ bt-kun said: I am still really confused about her too. I wish the show gave some more story behind that character because she seems pretty interesting.I still don't really get who that girl with the lotus flower on her head was :/ Is she Dalian's alter ego or something? O.o Overall for this series: 5/10 I enjoyed it, but the series went nowhere and had several loose ends to the story at the end. |
| As far as I remember and searched for the net, I cannot find any clear explanation for the girl in Dalian's archive. Judging from the flashback when Hugh was reading the book, she made a contract with the Minotaur thing in exchange for her wish and she was imprisoned in the archive, namely Dalian, as the keeper. It seems Dalian originally was only a porcelain doll or something without the girl's soul, since Raziel said to Dalian, "Are you still working? A good-for-nothing doll?". Anyway both the show and the finished light novel offer a lame explanation for it. Well, I like the scene the professor stroked Raziel' chin; she was like a cat. |
| Im so confused. lol |
| Was rather disappointed in the ending, it needed at least another episode I felt. The end felt rushed and jumbled together. The book burner and Flamberge really came out of nowhere at the end to save the day, then disappeared with no more explanation than before. Was annoyed that Huey managed to almost die and then get magically resurrected without a single word of explanation as to WTF was going on. Who is that girl with the lotus flower growing out her skull? She seems to be Dalian's 'other self', but what that means is anyone's guess. From comments on here I take it the light novels never bothered explaining anything, either. Ah well, it was a pretty series and entertaining, but it could've been a lot more. 7/10 |
| That was it? y u do dis, Gainax!? 7/10 |
 |
| This episode was horrible. All of a sudden, they put everything in a mix, and it felt as though the producers skipped a lot of scenes. ANd who the heck is the girl within Dalian, really?I know she's probably Pandora, but they never talked about her, not even Dalian, yet all of a sudden, it seemed as though everyone in this series knows about her, but never mentioned her up until now. |
 |
| Did anyone else think "Pandora's Box" during the scene of the library girl holding that opened chest and black stuff (all the evil that spread across the earth) coming out? It looked like she was in the Acropolis of Athens, she was wearing a Chiton/peplos, and there's the minotaur... It could also be the Pergamon Acropolis, where the Library of Pergamum was/is, which became one of the most important ancient libraries (EDIT: Seems darthfanta also thought of Pandora XD) |
 |
| Well i actually liked the final alot disregarding the fact that they didnt really explained anything. Definitely hoping for a second seasond but doubt it. And that girl looks totally Pandora to me with her holding the box and all the black stuff coming out and her clothing |

| Incredibly weird and silly anime altogether.. Wasn't to bad I guess though.. but definitely leaves more to be desired. |
| LOL so Pandora Hearts!! just like Intention of the Abyss and Alice Honto ni Baka mitai! need s2 xD 8/10 |
| The visuals in this episode were stunning! Glad to see the libricide officer and Flamberge again though I wished they had apppeared more often. |
 |
| Step 1: Hire guy off the street Step 2: "Hey what would be interesting given these characters" Step 3: Make an episode about it Step 4: Don't pay the guy Step 5: Repeat Step 1 with different person ????? not enough profit. |
| I thought this was alright overall. |

Nice story, great potential but... well, as expected from Gainax. Maybe a second season will help, it's not a bad idea, since it was enjoyable after all. |
 |
| It had potential, however they left a lot of things unexplained and this ep felt too rushed... Really, at first I though I hadn't watched the previous ep... Could have been A LOT better and I was expecting more... and like too many people have said, this might not have 2nd season )))): 5/10 |
| ummmm...it seems like am not satasfied with this kind of end plus the story seemed rushed in this episode.anyways I enjoyed this anime very much. lets give it a 8/10,shall we?:) |
 |
| A few anime's have had questionable ending recently... It's a little annoying and I personally can't see why anybody would buy the DVD of something with little/no; explanation, defining moments and resolution - it really spoils what is otherwise, a great story. (I'm refering to many anime's, not just this one) I'm hoping we'll get a series two, yet for some reason, this series hasn't been too popular. :( I for one will actually miss this, and I'm not impressed easily anymore. Hopefully, the OVA is still on the cards? 9/10 series. |
 |
| Now I'm really wondering why the hell they even bothered to introduce Flamberge and that other dude. They completely crushed my hopes of ever showing them again. Fuck this shi-- HOLY SHIT, SHE APPEARED. FUCK YEAH. <3 6/10. An enjoyable show. It's a bit sad that every episode was episodic. I was hoping for a Jigoku Shoujo style of show, episodic at first, but it ends with an awesome arc. Oh well, too bad. |
 |
| Well, that was OK. It seems like this series couldn't decide whether it wants to be episodic or have a central plot. In the end, it got nowhere, and there are still a lot of question unanswered. Also, too much of a rip-off of Gosick. 7/10 |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| I think this will get 6/10 There were some signs of plot that made me get my hopes up for nothing. Characters were fine but left shallow. Not to mention with the recent bunch of characters like Dalian(Victorique and Alice) it felt pretty generic. Can't honestly call this one "good", though I have to admit it had potential. |
| ...I miss my Flamberge ;_;. |
 |
| What on earth happened? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Obviously not a series ending, nor even a good season ending. We can always hope for a second season to tie the many loose plot threads together. Is it possible that the economics of the industry, driving production of 12 or 13 episode series for properties that should be at least 26 episodes long, is responsible for the proliferation of these "disappointments"? It's this sort of thing that has killed off much of the creativity on American TV (of course that's what is driving more people towards alternatives like anime). By that I mean that if a show is not a sure-fired hit, it gets pulled after only a few episodes and replaced by a clone of a successful show. (and yes, I am still bitter about Firefly.) |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| The show contained to many under-devolped but amazing characters (FLAM & HAL?!!? c'monnn), a sometimes shallow plot... and when I was supposed give a shit about Huey and the white haired girl, I didn't... Weak ending. There was so much potential... 6/10 |

| I couldn't help but think Huey was badass. |
Kawaii7878 said: Seems like everyone loved Flam. It would've been so much more interesting if they'd cut the non-essential Phantom Book hunts and focused more on the three Biblioprincesses, their keepers, and what their goals were. I loved that episode with Flam and Raziel even though it was so out of place, and I kept hoping they'd come back. To have them in the final episode was nice, but I can't help but feel like they were just thrown into the mix to call it an ending and be done with it. Maybe there was more in the source material, but for the anime it was confusing.RyuKirin said: Favorite character in series,even though Flam only showed up twice in the whole series :3...I miss my Flamberge ;_;. I really liked this show in the beginning. Great characters and music, too. It's too bad there was so much wasted in it. 6/10. I don't like endings that aren't really endings. :/ |
